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.
