How about parent and child.

- When describing a tree structure, we don't want to use nodes and
leaves to describe elements in our user guides, which are targetted
towards average joes, not programmers. Are there standard colloquial
replacements? ie. items and sub-items, or elements and sub-elements?

- Split windows are divided into panes. Fine. But in a single window,
would you still call the white rectangular area used to display
information a pane? Or is there another term that's better: ie. 'display
area'?

Are you talking about a windows application or a web-based application?
If it's windows based you could use work area or window, if its
web-based then you could just refer to it as the browser.


Regards,

Wade
