Re: [IxDA Discuss] An alternative phrase to Buy Now?
I've been in a similar situation, the danger being that using a word that people are not accustomed to will lead to confusion of what it is they are going to do - and may lead them not to click on it resulting in less sales (e commerce seems to be iffy that way)...but; a quick synonym search brings back: acquire, purchase, procure, obtain or get - and that was in outlook - so sure there's others - and personally I think they all sound less harsh/capitalistic than BUY NOW! maybe not zen - but softer. but - when all else fails - do a quick and dirty test - see what a couple of users prefer and can relate to - you can even put it to your loyal large following... my 2 cents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Table Row Interactions and .ico files
Not sure if I'm following this correctly - but there's a couple of ways you can solve this: Have 1 icon set at the top of the table (in the title bar - right - almost like your windows close and minimise actions) which is relevant to the selected row you're in. Another option would be to reduce the icons to one icon (action icon) from Which you can: pop up a small window with actions once you hover over the action icon. Or.. Have one of those more arrows at the bottom of the icon - meaning that once you click the more actions icon - a list of other options appear. The same action can be done by simply making the name of the sales person a link which triggers the same actions as mentioned above. This making sense? I do have an example of the first option also done in .net - but not sure how to send it to the group. Good luck. Don't you have a good team backing you up on the UX? I also found that light greys work better than yellow. Use primaries on activated rows only. DON'T LET DEVELOPERS MAKE UX DECISIONS. I LOVE THEM WITH EVERY LAST BONE IN MY BODY BUT THEY SIMPLY CANNOT MAKE VISUAL DECISIONS WHEN THEIR BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE DEADLINES AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT DIFFICULT LOGIC AND REQUIREMENTS. THEY LITERALLY THINK IN CODE - NOT IN ICONS. Hope it helps . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
