Yep, the problem is people thinking they are at the end of the form because that's where they expect the submit button. (Habits are important in designing interactions...) A possible approach to try and clarify... ...Basic form stuff... <label for="subMe">Continue below for advanced options, or <input type="submit" id="subMe" value="Submit basic options chosen Now" /></label>. ...Advanced form stuff with another submit button at the end, using an appropriate label it aint perfect, but nor am I. cheers Chaals David Woolley wrote: >>1) Is it OK to have the submit control of a form somewhere before the >>end?
