Hi all,

Apologies if this is off topic, but is there a name for the little
round buttons on this slide show? They're similar to the buttons on
the bottom of home screens on a phone when there's too many icons to
fit on the screen.

Thanks, Lynn

Don't think there's any official terminology for them...for what it's
worth, in Bootstrap we boringly refer to them as "carousel indicators".

On iOS it's called a page control and the dots are page indicators.

Thanks guys. I think I'll get snappy and call them "carousel/page
indicator buttons" on this project :-)

Cheers, Lynn
