The Web |
The Word Wide Web (WWW) is a network of hypertext info with
multimedia capability (image, video, sound). The Web basic unit is the
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) document. Hypertext means that a document contains references (called hypertext links) to other documents (and resources) - you used them to get to this page. The Web is integrated in the Internet, the service is called HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and serves your browser (the client) with HTML documents. |
Resources |
Image files, video files, sound files, and other resources
are not included in the HTML document. Instead they are referred to
using URL's (Uniform Resource Locators). An HTML doc is a resource too. If you are running Netscape Navigator, you'll find all the types of resources it knows about through Options | General Preferences | Helpers (tab) |
Example |
The following code shows a HTML doc with links to three resources:
<HTML> <BODY> <IMG SRC="Flag.jpg">Image displayed in the doc. <A HREF="Real.jpg"> HyperText relative link to the image.</A> <A HREF="http://yi.com/home/GoulartAjm/picts/Sample03.jpg"> Absolute Link.</A> </BODY> </HTML>View the doc. It's great to see how much you can accomplish with this simple example. |
