Download Symbol...

[mike55]

Hi all

Maybe this community could solve a slight disagreement between two developers...We have a web app that has a functiona that allows users to download data. The function is simply using a green arrow button, pointing downwards, the image also has a tooltip which says the word download.

Is this simple button sufficient for non-technical users (I dont believe so) or should we have something more obvious for the users like a hyperlink/linkbutton that says "download"/"save"?

If there is any real doubt then I would opt for the more obvious text link rather than a graphical image, if possible try and get some potential users to have a go with one or other of the two designs and see if either causes problems.
