In Gmail, the "Compose mail" form has a Discard button that serves as a Cancel. Have others found this to be a nuisance? (It's never bothered me before, and I think I've often found it quite convenient.)
- mooism2 16y agoGMail's "Discard" button is needed because GMail saves your unsent e-mail as a draft otherwise. Whereas most forms don't upload your form while you're still filling it in, which is what makes "Cancel" superfluous from a functional point of view.
- evanrmurphy 16y agoGmail's basic HTML view also has a discard button, even though it doesn't auto-save drafts. You make a good point, though. Maybe basic HTML just has Discard to stay consistent with standard.
