The best phrasing I've seen in active use is "Go to the address in the location bar", which Firefox uses, and, so far, I haven't been able to improve upon that. (The fundamental problem is that, if "Go to the address in the location bar" isn't enough, then the user is missing conceptual associations that are difficult to establish in a concise manner.) Also, for the sake of comparison, here's how other browsers and file managers handle it: - Konqueror and rekonq just use "Go". - Midori uses "Open a particular location" which is even more confusing than just "Go" since its use of the indefinite article "a" gives the impression it's going to do something like opening a menu rather than being associated with the specific location typed. - All of my other browsers and file managers "solve" the problem by not having a Go button and requiring users to use the Enter key. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
