I have an existing design (web application) where users can edit small parts in a webpage. A small editor will open up with the editable fields and three buttons: [Cancel & Close] [Clear] and [Save].
Whenever you make a change and click [Cancel] a small dialog appears:
Do you want to save these changes? [Yes] / [No]
The [Yes] button has been styled as the to make it look like the default choice. Does this make sense?
Isn't it better to ask the user if he/she is sure toe leave without saving any changes? Something like:
Ignore unsaved changes?
Answer
As per your requirement, since you already have a explicit SAVE button, I will not show a Alert asking them to save. Rather it should warn that the UNSAVED DATA WILL BE IGNORED. He has to click on OK or CANCEL to proceed. If he wants to save he should SAVE by clicking the button.
Or with the same popup you are using now... just change the dialogue
"Do you want to close without saving the changes?" and make NO as the default button. If they want to exit, they need to take the mouse away from focused button and perform the action.
