Adam: That’s absolutely true. For a high traffic site that could definitely be an argument for using a link as “Cancel”.

There is another pro of using links as a cancel button: it lowers server load. When user clicks on form button input, the form must be sent to the server as POST request. Server must process that request and usually redirect to another page (so we have 2 requests). With “Cancel” button as a link it just sends a GET request.

Yeah, that was pretty interesting. Especially the part about the time you have to show the benefits of your product (web service, etc) for a potential customer. I think it was 1.06 minutes per person and month.
