Navigation Icons

Navigation Icons are often images of arrows that allow the user to navigate a series of pages. Navigation Icons should have a very short ALT attribute set to the action they will perform.

Example Navigation Icon:

Back

Acceptable markup:

<img src="images/backarrow.png" alt="Back" />
