Hi If you see gmail interface, they have a 'Back to Inbox' text link unlike its adjacent buttons. This is to make the back more prominent for the user and also that it is in blue underlined (a convention for links).
You can use the button if that is the only button in that row or column, or you could use the blue underlined link as gmail has. The point is to show the difference in appearance thereby making it stand out from the other trigers (links). The reason others suggested you to change the link to a button may be because you already have several similar looking links within the article. Hence to make the 'BACK' look different from them, button is advisable. >From a functionality point of view, link or button doesn't matter much. From a usability point of view, a button will definitely stand out from a number of links on the same page. -- Shivan Kannan %u2605 uidude.com %u2605 uidude.wordpress.com %u2605 twit...@uidude . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
