Jarretts's Rules of Buttons
6th Feb. 2006
Caroline Jarrett's 2 rules for labeling buttons (found via elearning post):
- Label the button with what it does
- If the user doesn't want to do it, don't have a button for it
"The consequence of the two rules may be that you end up with buttons with labels that are longer than a single word. I think that's much better than striving for single words that are either confusing ... or infuriating ...."
