Icons, Buttons, and Animations

This section describes the buttons and controls that let you navigate through this course. We'll also describe the significance of icons used in the left-hand column of each page and show you how to use the animations.

The Forward and Backward buttons used in this course's Navigation Frame are similar but not identical to the Forward and Backward arrows used in the browser's tool bar.  The main difference is that in this course there's a pre-defined  order of presentation - what we call the default course sequence.  With most sets of web pages there is no such sequence.
