Should cancel be a button or a link?
To summarize
The cancel option is similar to aborting an action, and therefore similar to navigating back to the previous state of the UI. Navigation is represented in web UI as hyperlinks, and thus the cancel option should be a hyperlink.
What is the use of cancel button?
A cancel button is clicked whenever the user presses the ESC key, regardless of which other control on the form has the focus. Such a button is usually programmed to enable the user to quickly exit an operation without committing to any action.
Is a cancel button a CTA?
A Cancel button is not a call to action because no changes to the system occur after users press it. You shouldn't emphasize it with color, or you'll give users that impression. Instead, you need to let them know that the button won't make any changes and is an escape from action.
How to create a cancel button in PHP?
