Can we just admit for a moment that we still think Cancel buttons at the bottom of a form on a page are a good idea? It's just something we're "supposed to do," right?
But look at these statistics: .10% ( a fraction of 1 percent!) of users ever use this button you are giving them, so ultimately it is just a distraction for the user from the holy grail that is the "Submit" button.
Think about it: when was the last time you were filling out a form online, made a mistake, and used the cancel button to "clear" your errors. That's right you haven't! If we are really stressed over the errors we've made we'll just use the standard Browser back button or Refresh.
Don't be RUDE: never use a Cancel button! (If you really must, try a simple Cancel link, centered.)
