a DOT besides button

[eluser]napz[/eluser]
hi Guys,

I tried the anchor and put a button inside in it.

<?php echo anchor('link/testlink', '<input type="button" value="view">');

the output is a button, however the problem is there is a small .[dot] besides the button, right and left.
looks like this:
.[view].


what can I do to omit this dot besides the button?


Thanks,
