Allow me to hijack this thread to say something that is related:
Do not disable buttons or checkboxes or whatever unless it's very obvious how to enable them! I have seen software applications that showed disabled form controls or menu entries depending on settings that were in other screens or even compile-time settings - that is unacceptable!
- jspash 3y agoDoes anyone remember the "reset" button? I assume it still exists, but to be honest I have never found the need for it. But I do remember it being on many forms that you would encounter pre-2000.
- lakomen 3y agoReset buttons are for edit forms.
- city41 3y agoI was going to post this. Many times I've sat there trying to guess what the developer was thinking "maybe this will enable it? no... how about this?..." I can't even imagine what non-techy people do in these situations.
