[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBPORTAL-1842) Login form should have a cancel option

[Wesley Hales (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1842?page=all ]

Wesley Hales resolved JBPORTAL-1842.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Done

The page that the modal represents(login.jsp) has a dynamically rendered cancel button. If the page is presented in a modal, it shows the cancel. If a user goes to or is redirected to the login page, then what can they cancel? So, for usability, since this is a page, it did not make sense to have a cancel because the portal made a decision to redirect to that page.
Good usability is not trying to write your own back button feature, but to let the browser do its job ;-) Although some browsers still don't do there job very well at times.
