Searching for input about UI design patterns regarding the use of hyperlinks vs buttons.
A screen in a web application should/could have a mix of buttons and hyperlinks on it. It seems that the ‘look’ is the major governing factor as to which is used, but I want something more logical than that.
Does anyone know of any hard and fast rules about when to use each one?
Do you have guidelines of your own that you’d like to share?
Thanks.
Links go places. Buttons send data places.
In a nutshell, if you have form data, have a button. Otherwise, don’t.
