Subject:Terminology for browser window/web page From:Debbie -dot- Lemasters -at- mapics -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 15 Nov 2001 11:11:03 -0500
In one of our products, the user installs the application through a
browser. We need a way to refer to the information shown in the browser.
Is it a "window" ... or does that word invoke MS windows? Is it a "dialog"
.. or does that imply a smaller area of real estate focused on a subset of
entry fields? Common HTML usage points to "page" or even "form" ... though
the content isn't quite like a form.
What word would you use?
