Cancel / Back Button (Feature #509)
Description
It would be nice to have a 'cancel'/'back' button on at minimum the Administration views. The single Save button present on these views tends to leave the user uncertainty in some circumstances.
This snippet on the views does a decent job but is not optimal as the Settings views are rendered.
<%= submit_tag l(:button_cancel), { :name => 'reset', :id => 'reset_button', :type => "reset", :onClick => "javascript:history.back()" } %>
As an example:
History

That is a good idea. We should use a hyperlink instead of a button and use the back_url instead of relying on JavaScript.
Thank you for reporting this.

I sort of like the button but the hyperlink is straightforward:
<% link_to l(:button_cancel), :back %>
What's nice about the hyperlink is it does differentiate nicely.

Pull Request #94.
I also contemplated adding one to the New Issue view, but since its currently:
[Create] [Create and Continue] Preview
making it:
[Create] [Create and Continue] Preview Cancel
doesn't look right. Not sure if the answer is some form of separator, making Preview a button instead of a link, or something else altogether.
