Most of my sites are web apps, editing and displaying technical data. I am trying to find out whether there is a standard symbology for labels on controls.
For instance, I see "<<" on controls that are to change pages, like: "<<Locations" to go to a locations index page. I like "<<" because it gives my users a warning that the control is going to result in a change of context. It's lightweight, works in all browsers, and degrades gracefully. It also survives all but the most disruptive stylesheets. Are there equivalents for other common control operations? Maybe "++" on controls that are to create a record, or '!!" for controls that update records, or "^^" for moving up in a hierarchically-organized app? Anything of that nature that's been common practice? It seems like such a 90's technique that I'm sure there must be some standards, but I can't seem to find them. Maybe not, though -- before AJAX, all links changed pages, and all buttons did "record operations."
