Subject:Terminology Q: Clicking on a tab displays a ? From:Paul Moloney <paulmoloney -at- sepro -dot- ie> To:'TECHWR-L' <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 5 Jul 2000 15:22:39 +0100
Hi there,
I'm seeking a piece of terminology. Say I have
a dialog box that has a series of tabs. When I click
on a tab, what do I call the new "piece" of screen
displayed that was previously hidden? It's not
a new dialog box, but I can't call it "tab" since that
suggests only the, er, "sticking-up" bit with the label
on.
Thanks in advance,
P.
