Some forms require clicking a series of routine "submit" buttons. Some of the button-clicking has to do with accepting security certificates. It's good that Firefox can remember the user IDs and passwords. It'd be better if Firefox allows us to "record" the sequence of button clicking as a macro files, and allows us (end users, not Web masters) to replay those macro files with a single click of a button. | Some forms require clicking a series of routine "submit" buttons.

Make button labels searchable, so that you can text search (for example) this page for "Search" and have the cursor on the "Search" button at the top. This would help with navigation, especially in large webpages. First, like text search in general, it allows the focus to be positioned directly without using a pointing device, which is often faster. Second, there is often a specific button or function (such as search) which users want to use and have to scroll through the page and look for it manually. -[[User:Pgan002|Pgan002]] 15:07, 8 May 2007 (PDT) | |||
