Re: Terminology for web page elements

[Beth Agnew <beth -dot- agnew -at- senecac -dot- on -dot- ca>]

We do have some style agreement. Web pages have three parts: a header, 
body, and footer. There is a left nav bar or navigation bar or sidebar, 
a title, banner,or navigation tabs across the top, sometimes a right nav 
bar or sidebar too, some below the fold elements, links in the footer, a 
title bar, a toolbar, text, etc. There could be breadcrumbs, hotspots, 
separators, various buttons, a menu bar, a siteID or logo, pop-up  or 
fly-up (down/out) menus, pop ups, pop overs and pop unders, frames, 
opt-in boxes, media players, forms, tags, tag clouds, and even a link 
roll. If there isn't a frequently-used term for what you're trying to 
express, you might as well invent one. That's how we got all these other 
terms.
