The document announces an upcoming virtual seminar on April 22, 2010 from 1:30-2:30pm ET hosted by Luke Wroblewski to answer top questions about web form design. One example question asks about best practices for placing "Next" and "Back" buttons on forms with multiple pages, with Luke responding that "Next"/ "Continue" buttons should be on the right as the primary actions for completing the form, while "Back"/"Previous" buttons belong on the left as secondary actions.

2. Previous & Next Actions
“When a form has multiple pages, there is the need
for Next and Back buttons. Most web form guidelines
say that the primary action button should be on the
left, but in this case, it would seem to make more
sense to have the primary button (Continue or Next)
on the right, with the secondary button (Back or
Previous) on the left. Do you have any thoughts on
this topic?”

3. Actions
• Not all form actions are equal
• Reset, Cancel, & Go Back are secondary actions: rarely
need to be used (if at all)
• Save, Continue, & Submit are primary actions: directly
responsible for form completion
