How to display html button element in MS-Outlook 2010?

I have written a mailing program. The body of the mail is pure html.

All elements of the html (like a, span, p, img tags etc.) are shown in the mail output in MS Outlook 2010 except the button.

Only text (button's value) is displayed as a plain text. Even javascript event is not triggered if button has onClick event.

Note: It is working in other mailing services like gmail, yahoo. Problem is in Outlook only.

Please use below mentioned HTML code this works perfectly well in outlook.

<table cellpadding="0" align="left" cellspacing="0" style="border-radius:2px; background-color:#5794FF; color:#FFFFFF">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td align="center" height="32" style="padding:0px 19px; height:32px; font-size:14px; line-height:12px">
                <a href="https://www.google.co.in/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none; color:#FFFFFF">Search Google</a>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

javascript is blocked by email clients, as it is not save.

There are some solutions that more or less work in outlook:

I'm not sure versions of MS Outlook 2007 onwards can handle HTML buttons, due to them using MS Words HTML processor (Which is not the best...)

As to trying to use javascript in emails - Javascript click event in outlook 2007

Ive had similar problems...
