I am designing a system where users need to be able to delete a table row.
Originally I had a 'remove' button, but that has now changed to an icon in the interest of saving space. I have used a red 'x' for
:
Is this clear enough, I am also wondering how it should be styled. I don't like it being displayed in it's own cell, but I am afraid that removing the border will make it seem immediately relevant to the sub-specialty.
Thoughts please?
Not saying this is the "best", but the current version of MS Outlook shows the delete icon only when the mouse is hovered over the row:
And then turns it to red when the mouse hovers over the delete button:
Note that the icon they use is subtly different- the slightly "curved" X implies "delete/remove" as opposed to a straight X which in my mind is more of a "stop" icon.
