Subject:What do you call the triangle-twist-open thingie? From:John G <john -at- garisons -dot- com> To:"techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 8 Dec 2015 14:10:14 -0500
Many web sites these days use a triangle-shaped icon ... click it, and it
rotates 90 degrees to display something (text, links, etc.) that was
previously hidden.
I call them "twist controls" but one of my SMEs says they are "accordion"
controls.
What do my fellow tech whirlers refer to these as?
