This assumption is correct if we are designing desktop applications. But, what about online apps? We cannot determine what browser the visitor is using, and then from it, decide the order of the buttons. How about the millions of Google's users? Google displays the primary action button (i.e. OK) on the left. I think Luke W's article (posted on this thread previously) answers a lot of our questions based on research and statistical data. Primary button should be on the left, secondary button on the right. Buttons should be left aligned. -Juan ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
