Subject:RE: icons vs. buttons? From:Sankara R <ss_rajanala -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:Yves JEAUROND <jingting -at- rogers -dot- com>, Keith Hansen <KRH -at- weiland-wfg -dot- com> Date:Wed, 1 Aug 2007 08:51:19 -0700 (PDT)
once more [sorry]
buttons have text on them.
icons are little pictures.
Icons can lead to action: the save (diskette) in
MS word.
Buttons can take you to the other end of the
globle (Send an eCard, at the top of this page as
I type).
And, what kind of an action is the Calendar
button accomplish?

when in doubt, tell the truth
