I'm in the middle of a debate whether:

*	Should field labels should be left or right aligned with a text
field/drop-down list/etc.?
*	Should buttons on a primary page be left or right aligned with
the page content?
*	Should buttons on a secondary page be left or right aligned with
the page content?
*	Should buttons on a login page be left aligned or centered with
the text boxes?

 

Can someone point me to user research, best practices and/or style
guides that address these topics?
