Hey, I'd go with "Show/Hide details", as it indicates whether the details are being currently shown or hidden.
I think a verb would be more fitting with natural language. If I wanted to see the details, I'd want to "show details". I wouldn't go "details" to hide or show them. If they were on a tab you'd want the objective noun, like a title, but seeing as the disclosure widget is an action, I'd go with an action phrase. A verb would correspond with the such commonly used verbs as "save file" and "cancel". Raeth On 6/6/06, Sebastian Heinlein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, would you recommend to use a noun for the disclosure widgets e.g. "Details" or verbs e.g. "Show details"/"Hide details"? There is no corresponding section in the HIG. And both variants are in use currently. Regards, Sebastian
