The Basic Browser Menu
Last week I discussed a browser contextual menu to use for images in websites. Well, there is also a “Basic Menu” (what I am choosing to call it) you can use to navigate your way through a site, and more. Like the menu discussed last week, this menu has different options in different browsers. It also might have different phrases for various actions. I’m just going to cover the standards.
