Hi, all:
I looked through the archives and Google, and didn't find what I was hoping for, so I thought I'd check in with you .
I'm looking for a resource that shows the names of typical web page elements. I'm looking for names that I can use for end-user instructions. I've got the MS Manual of Style, ed. 3, and it has two screen shots that very cursorarily label web page elements. I was hoping to find something more comprehensive.
For example, I may need to tell them to click a certain button in a certain section of the page, but I don't want to say "Click the Send button in the left hand corner on the bottom of the page." -- too wordy.
I work for a large company where there is no style guide on this matter.
