Word:
ISP
Definition:
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. This is the company that
you dial in to connect to the internet. It can also host your webpage.
Like mine.
Word:
HTML
Definition:
HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language. This is the programming
language used to describe how your web pages look. Many programs like
FrontPage Express handle this for you but professional webpage makes
make entire web pages in this form. HTML looks something like this: <p
align="center">This is an <b>example</b> of
HTML</a></p>. Sometimes it is much longer and more
complicated than that line. Experts usually write WebPages in this
format.
Word:
DHTML
Definition:
DHTML stands for Dynamic HyperText Mark-up Language. This code is
only supported by browsers level 4 and up (Explorer 4+, Navigator 4+).
This is a new type of code that allows fancy effects such as MouseOvers
and Page Transitions ( like I have used ).
Word:
Extensions
Definition:
These are programs run by your ISP which enable the more complex
functions of FrontPage (the full version) to work. Search engines and
guest books rely heavily on them, for instance. Microsoft FrontPage 2000
has some effects that you can add to your page as long as your server
supports FrontPage Server Extensions.
Word:
Frames
Definition:
These are individual Web pages which are viewed together as a
frameset. This enables a menu bar or banner to remain in constant view
while others parts of the page change.
Words:
Level 4 Browsers
Definition:
Level 4 refers to Internet Explorer 4 or later and Netscape
Navigator 4 or later. If the browser is over level 4 it supports DHTML
and other newer features.
Word:
Gif
Definition:
A Gif is a type of image that can be found on WebPages. It is mainly
used for flat images such as icons. They are only capable of producing
256 colors. They can also be given a transparency.
Word:
Jpeg
Definition:
A Jpeg file is actually called a .jpg (not .jpeg).
Many people get confused. A Jpeg file is usually used for photos since
they can support high colors. They cannot be given a transparency.
Sometimes they can be smaller than Gifs but sometimes they're not. So
its wise to save an image as both types and see which one is smaller.
