title: UI best practice question: Cancel button or Cancel link
body: <p>I have a discussion with a colleague about what the "web standard" is for canceling in an form. In our discussion we have a "change password" page as example. We have a designed "send" button and "cancel" button. Both the same design.</p>
  
  <p>He claims that in web standard a cancel button is no longer a button but a link transferring the user to another page. In my opinion, for those pages including a cancel button it actually is a cancel button which either resets the form and/or send the user to the prevision page.</p>
  
  <p>Who is correct? Link or button... or both? And why? Any links to where this kind of standard is decided?</p>

  <p><em><strong>EDIT</em></strong>
  I guess the answer with most votes will be the "correct answer"?</p>
