1h	comment	Is there a better character than the asterisk to indicate a modified document? @LarsH maybe that's the birthplace of this UI feature? :)
1h	comment	How can I decide whether to use a button or a hyperlink? You could detach `Tax Bill` from the group, but keep it on the same horizontal line. You're using the correct icon from jQuery UI to represent an external link. Instead of calling it Tax Bill. You could label it by the name of the external website. That would be more clear.
7h	awarded	Good Answer
14h	comment	Is there a better character than the asterisk to indicate a modified document? @JoshuaTaylor thanks guys! I didn't know about the dot. It's good that this is supported at the OS level. That makes it a standard ;)
15h	comment	Is a dummy button an appropriate way to show that a box is clickable? Why not use a `Add To Cart` button like everyone else? You're doing something fancy for the sake of being fancy. I fail to see how this is easier for the user.

23h	comment	Where to place icons in a checklist? Before or after? @Chandru There are exceptions to the rule. Sometimes the label is on the left so that the check marks align with other fields, and reading labels is not inconsistent. But, when on their own it's left-to-right.

Jun 4	comment	Why aren't Gmail-like “on-page” dialogs more popular UI solutions? I `HATE` that thing. It's the worse! I hope they get rid of it in the next update.
Jun 4	comment	Increase font-size for larger displays with responsive design? @DA01 `em` are good too, because they are relative to the font size. Whereas `px` is relative to page scale. One advantage is using a third-party stylesheet. If they use `em` then it scales correctly, but if they use `px` it won't match your other style sizes.
