A colleague asks:


------------
This morning, I was in a meeting in which we were talking about tabs and
navigation through a set of screens. From the usability perspective, it's a
standard to include navigation function across the top or down the left side.
The only two people who disagreed happened to be Asian. They argued that they
much preferred to start from the right hand side of the screen rather than the
left.


Is this a cultural issue? Is it a handedness issue? Is there any data about
the
location of items on the screen relative to cultural background?
-------------


Can anyone shed some light on this?


Thanks,

Barry
