DefinitionAdd to FlashcardsSave to FavoritesSee Examples

A means of connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in the


world via dedicated routers and servers. When two computers are connected over the Internet, they can
send and receive all kinds of information such as text,graphics, voice, video, and computer programs.

WWW
Stands for "World Wide Web." It is important to know that this is not a synonym for the Internet.
The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people call it, is a subset of the Internet.
The Web consists of pages that can be accessed using a Web browser. The Internet is the actual
network of networks where all the information resides. Things like Telnet, FTP, Internet gaming,
Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and e-mail are all part of the Internet, but are not part of the World
Wide Web. The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method used to transfer Web pages
to your computer. With hypertext, a word or phrase can contain a link to another Web site. All
Web pages are written in the hyper-text markup language (HTML), which works in conjunction
with HTTP.
HTTP
Stands for "HyperText Transfer Protocol." This is the protocol used to transfer data over the World Wide
Web. That's why all Web site addresses begin with "http://". Whenever you type a URL into your browser
and hit Enter, your computer sends an HTTP request to the appropriate Web server. The Web server, which
is designed to handle HTTP requests, then sends to you the requested HTML page.

HTML

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for

display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's

words and images for the user. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element (but many people

also refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and

when it is to end.

HTML is a formal Recommendation by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and is generally adhered to by

the major browsers, Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator, which also provide some additional

non-standard codes. The current version of HTML isHTML 4.0. However, both Internet Explorer and Netscape

implement some features differently and provide non-standard extensions. Web developers using the more

advanced features of HTML 4 may have to design pages for both browsers and send out the appropriate

version to a user. Significant features in HTML 4 are sometimes described in general as dynamic HTML. What

is sometimes referred to as HTML 5 is an extensible form of HTML called Extensible Hypertext Markup

Language (XHTML).
