Re: "Button Gravity" and "Warning Gravity"

[Evelyn Lee Barney <evbarney -at- comcast -dot- net>]

My habit has been to use a particular icon of some kind (preferably 
color - but that's not always possible) so that the fact that there is a 
warning is obvious as soon as you hit the page. My reasoning has been 
that if it's eye-catching enough, people will know as they read that 
page that caution is required even before they get to the specifics of 
what and why.

But, this is making me wonder . . .
