I think it is important to recognize that in most cases there is one primary action per screen. In this case 'ok' button is the primary action and could be rendered as a primary button. For example 'ok' button can be larger and prominent while the 'cancel' option can be graphicaly rendered with lesser prominence- a text link perhaps. • Raminder Oberoi www.retheory.com On Nov 19, 2007, at 7:24 PM, Prasad Perera [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, Has anyone done extensive user testing for placement of OK, CANCEL buttons?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Jaiku
Hi Prasad, There is this interesting study conducted by Luke and Etre on how button placement and different visual treatment affects the form completion time. http://www.lukew.com/resources/articles/PSactions.asp Thanks Saurabh Raminder Oberoi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think it is important to recognize that in most cases there is one primary action per screen.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Jaiku
In the end, it probably doesn't matter. Users will find the button, regardless of whether it is button #1 or button #2. However: * Be consistent throughout your app * Be consistent with other apps on your OS; if on multiple OSes with different standards, have multiple versions rather than ticking off users of one OS * Have appropriate markers and behaviors for default buttons, tabbing order, etc. -- Jim Drew Seattle, WA -Original Message- From: Prasad Perera [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone done extensive user testing for placement of OK, CANCEL buttons?
