>I would further suggest you use graphic icons as much as you can. A picture >is worth a thousand words and is universal. i.e. a red X probably means >delete. A ? I'm sorry to tell you but this is definetly wrong. A lot of usability studies have shown that icons or pictures leave to much room for interpretation to be understood universal. Don'T get me wrong pics and icons are great but only if you know your target audience. A lot of the things that are true for your culture don't work in others... Example color red has a different meaning in japan than in westerneurope. (just an example) There are a few icons which are so widespread throughout the world that it is clear to each what they mean. But never assume that everybody else thinks the same when seeing a picture. Your best bet is to write out. Delete is much clearer than a red X. For what I know the red X could mean cancel as well.
