So, what's the official guideline? Paul told me to discuss it with you, so I believe what you say concerning template is the official voice :-)
With prog templates, I guess my "official" recommendation would be to use links wherever appropriate (where user input via form fields isn't necessary), and to use a form button for any action where the direct consequence of the action is destructive (deletion of data).
How does that sound?
I agree with Owen. I don't think there should be any design elements in the PROG templates at all. I count icons as design elements. So I think use words as links and the appropriate form button is the way to go. -- Russel Garlick Operations Manager Katipo Communications Ph: +64 4 934 1285 Fax: +64 4 934 1286 Mob: +64 27 537 1377 Skype: russelgarlick Web http://www.katipo.co.nz
