There is something that has been bugging me since I first looked at the skateboard book. I love the framework, and I love ruby. I also love consistency.
Having a button that does something (submits the form maybe) and a link that does something else (cancels the form maybe) bugs me. I see this a lot, and it always bugs me. I understand that we shouldn’t have links that do destructive things. But what’s wrong with having a complementary button to the submit?
I think aesthetically functional symmetry is important when we are talking about a visual medium.
So you might catch me putting buttons in place where they ought not be according to some of the purists. Or maybe I will get used to it because I see it all the time now and get over myself. I am finding it less jarring now than I first did.
Sigh
