[IxDA Discuss] Back button in TAB order

[Sebi Tauciuc]

Hi
Although I saw Submit and Cancel mentioned above, I will stick to this first
e-mail and assume we are talking about a kind of wizard, or something where
Back and Continue would make sense. In this case, we have some sort of time
precedence between 2 ore more screens. Time is usually conveyed from left
(past) to right (future). To me it makes perfect sense to have the Back
button on the left and the Continue on the right.
As to the tab order, I would have to agree with Ripul: the Continue button
should be the first in tab order, because it's much more likely to be used.

But that's just my opinion, nu studies to back me up :)
