This kind of problem was solved almost two decades ago:
1 - use the correct dialog button layout: cancel on the left, confirm on the right. always.
2 - default to the cancel button - highlight / color it & attach to the enter key
3. show an alert icon - something obvious, don't just show plain text
4. if it's really serious, allow undo / history
- CharlesW 13y agoBetter: Allow undo/history even if it's unserious.
- erik14th 13y agoIs there any reason that concept is so rarely used in the web? Well, there's usually an undo functionality in desktop-like web apps but most CRUD lack that kind of feature.
- danellis 13y agoBecause people don't know they want it, so it's easy to not bother implementing it knowing no one will ask for it.
