Hi Dey, I agree, but then again I don't think it harms anybody to have them. And for the general user it is just a matter of education: the first time you wonder what the icon is, then you learn its meaning by clicking on it (or moving the mouse over it to read the title), from then on you will most likely understand and appreciate its existance. If icons such as these could be introduced as a standard on websites, they would be a helpful and user-friendly tool. > > > On Wed, 6 Oct 2004 18:48:50 +1000, Andreas Boehmer > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have a look at Disability Online > (http://www.disability.vic.gov.au) - they > > solve it quite nicely by opening external links in new windows, yet > > providing little icons which inform the user that the link will open new > > windows. > ****************************************************** > The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ > > See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > for some hints on posting to the list & getting help > ****************************************************** > > ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
