The question is purely about the naming. Recently I was looking for a spinner (that is, a numеric text box with plus and minus buttons (wikipedia)), and too many of the results were actually (ajax) activity indicators.
I think the accepted name for an activity indicator is a Throbber. I’ve heard of Numeric UpDowns being called Spinners, because they don’t necessarily contain only numbers.
