Is yes on the left or right?
Westerners read left to right, our brains are conditioned to flow left to right. CANCEL is basically a step backwards (left) and OK/SUBMIT/YES/Etc., are a step forward (right).
A help button, link, or icon relating to the whole form or screen function should be located on the top right corner of the screen but below the global header (see Figure 3). Help relating to the entire application or website, such as phone help, support numbers, or global tips, should be placed in the global header.
Should primary button be left or right?
Full page designs should have the primary button on the left side of the page. If the browser window is large, or you have to scroll down to fill out a form, it’s best to have the primary button right below the last bit of content on the page.
Should cancel be on left or right?
So ‘Cancel’ is always on the right of OK button for Windows platform.
Where are the cancel and OK buttons located?
In the Windows environment, the standard has for many years stated that when the buttons are placed at the bottom of a modal window, they should be grouped together with “OK” on the left and “Cancel” on the right. See, for example, the Windows Vista User Experience Guidelines.
‘Ok’ and ‘Cancel’ buttons in dialog boxes should follow a similar interaction pattern because they function like pagination buttons. Not only that, but the left and right directional pattern are what users are used to in the western world.
What’s the right order for OK and cancel?
Button placement: Either grouped together (pages 1 and 3) or separated (pages 2 and 4 ). Button labels: Either OK and Cancel (pages 1 and 2) or Submit and Cancel (pages 3 and 4 ). The order of listing of the labels (OK and Cancel, Submit and Cancel) was randomized to avoid biasing the respondents.
Do you put the OK button to the left or the right?
IMHO it does not matter too much where you will place “OK” button: to left or to right. It does not matter what kind of users visit your site (with hebrew or arabic languages). It does not matter what kind of software they use.
