Most (if not all) browsers, whether text-based or graphically, support
submitting of forms, regardless of what the server does with the
submitted information. On the other hand, not all browsers (fully)
support javascript. So in my opinion a button that submits a form but
does nothing with that data is better that a button that uses javascript
to emulate a link. I did not say *anything* about using a real link,
that is, <a href= etc.
So if you want a *button* that does what the original poster wants, use
setDefaultFormProcessing(false), but you might want to consider using a
link proper.
And yes, let's talk accessibility, it's very important for some people.
When it's possible to make an app that works for both groups with a
little bit of extra effort, do so. Provided, of course, there is time
(and money) to do so.

BTW: Do we like top-posting or bottom-posting? I really don't care, but
if there is a convention (as some mailing lists have), I'll conform to that.

a form-submit :)

I don't want the cancel button to submit the form, is this the best

@Override

Also have a look at Button#setDefaultFormProcessing(false);

Button.setDefaultFormProcessing does submit the form (in the HTTP sense)
but the form's model is not updated. I think this is a better solution
because it doesn't require javascript (a Link on a <input> element
generates onclick), and thus more accessible.
