I skimmed this thread with interest. I agree with the proposal that if you want a specific action to help guide the users to know it is okay (i.e., sometimes clicking Back breaks things and may make some folks tentative), then having a "Back to results" kind of link is good. It's a familiar pattern that the big boys like Gmail use. About links for actions, it's pretty well established that this is okay. See:
Action Links Pattern<http://quince.infragistics.com/#/Main/ViewPattern$pattern=Action+Links>- cites Nielson Primary Action Pattern<http://quince.infragistics.com/#/Main/ViewPattern$pattern=Primary+Action>- cites Tidwell, LukeW, and Welie You should of course read the rationale, which for Action Links does address the link=navigation caveat. -a ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
