Wibblet, I don't really get it. "Puros botones" is a very familiar way to say "just buttons", it's spoken language. It does'nt seem to come from a user's manual or so. And then, what does "just buttons" mean exactly? What else could they be? What is it they're telling us they are not by saying - colloquially - "puros botones"? It's kindo weird...

It has a list of things you clikc on like terms and conditions, instructions etc Thanks

Context Hi Wibblet - can you provide the list for us? It might help.
Andrés Silvart May 25, 2010:
At first sight, "some of them are only buttons" or "just buttons" or "nothing but buttons", BUT no serious attempt is possible without MORE CONTEXT!!!

Selected

Unassigned buttons

From what I can make out from the very limited context, it would seem they're referring to buttons that haven't had coding or links assigned to them yet. This often happens when a site hasn't been translated yet, for example; so while there might be a button for the English version on a Spanish site, until the site is translated, no coding will be assigned to that button...

That's my tuppence worth :)
