A webpage or web page is a document A document is a bounded physical representation of body of information designed with the capacity (and usually intent) to communicate. A document may manifest symbolic, diagrammatic or sensory-representational information. To document (verb) is to produce a document artifact by collecting and representing information. In prototypical usage, a or resource of information that is suitable for the World Wide Web The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view Web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, English physicist Tim Berners-Lee, now the Director of the and can be accessed through a web browser A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to easily navigate their browsers to and displayed on a computer A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions screen.
This information is usually in HTML HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links, quotes, and other items. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to or XHTML Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language , the language that web pages are written in. While HTML (prior to HTML 5) was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language format, and may provide navigation A navigation bar is a subregion of a web page that contains hypertext links in order to navigate between the pages of a website to other webpages via hypertext Hypertext is text, displayed on a computer, with references to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence. Apart from running text, hypertext may contain tables, images and other presentational devices. Other means of interaction may also be present, such as a bubble with text appearing when links In computing, a hyperlink is a reference in a document to an external or internal piece of information. The most common usage is in the Internet to browse through web pages: some text in the current document is highlighted so that when clicked, the browser automatically displays another page or changes the current page to show the referenced.
Webpages may be retrieved from a local computer or from a remote web server A web server has defined load limits, because it can handle only a limited number of concurrent client connections (usually between 2 and 80,000, by default between 500 and 1,000) per IP address (and TCP port) and it can serve only a certain maximum number of requests per second depending on:. The web server may restrict access only to a private network, e.g. a corporate intranet An intranet is a private network that uses Internet protocols to securely share any part of an organization's information or operational systems within that organization. The term is used in contrast to internet - a network between organizations - and instead refers to a network within an organization. Sometimes the term refers only to the, or it may publish pages on the World Wide Web. Webpages are requested and served from web servers In computing, a server is any combination of hardware or software designed to provide services to clients. When used alone, the term typically refers to a computer which may be running a server operating system, but is commonly used to refer to any software or dedicated hardware capable of providing services using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Its use for retrieving inter-linked resources led to the establishment of the World Wide Web (HTTP).
Webpages may consist of files of static text stored within the web server A web server has defined load limits, because it can handle only a limited number of concurrent client connections (usually between 2 and 80,000, by default between 500 and 1,000) per IP address (and TCP port) and it can serve only a certain maximum number of requests per second depending on:'s file system (static webpages A static web page is a web page that always comprises the same information in response to all download requests from all users. Contrast with Dynamic web page), or the web server may construct the (X)HTML for each webpage when it is requested by a browser (dynamic webpages Classical hypertext navigation, with HTML or XHTML alone, provides "static" content, meaning that the user requests a web page and simply views the page and the information on that page). Client-side scripting Client-side scripting generally refers to the class of computer programs on the web that are executed client-side, by the user's web browser, instead of server-side . This type of computer programming is an important part of the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) concept, enabling web pages to be scripted; that is, to have different and changing content can make webpages more responsive to user input once in the client browser.
