A Web page or webpage is a "page" of the World Wide Web, usually in HTML/XHTML format (the file extensions are typically
A web page can be either a single page, or a frameset made up of separate pages (frames). Each frame contains an HTML page. Frames can cause problems with navigation and printing and unless expertly handled can adversely affect search engine ratings. Their main merit is to allow some content (usually a naviagation menu) to stay in one place while other content is scrolled. A collection of web pages stored in a single folder or within related subfolders of a web server is known as a website. A website includes an index page. This is a file called index.htm, index.html, index.php, index.asp etc. When you type in a web address URL which doesn't include a page (e.g. www.mysite.com) the web server will look for an index page and serve that to your browser. If no index page exisits, you will see either a listing of the folder's contents, or an error page (usually 'permission denied'). A consideration in designing and testing web pages is that they should be suitable for many browsers and browser settings and different screen resolutions, as well as accessible to people with disabilities (e.g. sight impairment), older browsers and text-only browsers. Target audience, budget and lack of awareness of accessibility issues often mean that a site is not as acessible as it could be. Using features which only work in one browser without providing alternative content is considered bad practice; the W3C works with browser manufacturers to develop web standards and encourage standards compliance.
Navigation barA navigation bar, linkbar, link bar or links bar is an area/a pane of a web page that contains hypertext links in order to enable navigation from one page of a website to another. URLUsually a web page has a more or less permanent URL, a permalink, and therefore allows deep linking. Sometimes it has only a temporary URL referring to a cache area. This may e.g. be the case when the page is the result of zooming and shifting a map. Sometimes a page results from a web page by some action, e.g. replacing the content of one of the frames, while the new page does not have its own URL. Perhaps such a page, as well as a page with a form field filled in, strictly can not be called a web page, because it is not on the web, but created from what is on the web. GraphicsFor embedding (transclusion) of an image in a web page, see HTML element#Images. The graphics file format in web pages is usually JPEG for photographs and GIF or PNG for other images such as diagrams, drawings, graphs, etc. The last two formats can also be used for photographs but are not as suitable for that purpose as JPEG (JPEG is lossy while GIF and PNG are lossless). GIF is used for animations, GIF and PNG for images with transparent pixels, PNG for images with partially transparent pixels (but this is not supported by e.g. IE). All these are raster graphics. There is also the SVG format: Scalable Vector Graphics. Currently more common ways to supply vector graphics are either with a PDF file, viewed either using a plug-in of the browser or a separate viewer, or with Flash. This is useful e.g. for a map, often a combination of a vector graphics layer and text, and possibly a raster graphics layer. This gives better results when zooming in than a GIF or PNG image (JPEG would be even worse due to compression artifacts). Alternatively, on zooming in the server supplies a new image. In that case one can not download the whole map, unless perhaps piece by piece. See e.g. the links in Map#External links. Also, as an example, compare the GIF and PDF province maps in South Holland#External links. See also Map#Electronic maps. Viewing a web pageSince most web pages are mostly text, you can view them in any application that can read text documents. However, to view a web page, as it is intended, one needs a type of software known as a user agent or better still a web browser, which is a piece of software specifically designed to view web pages. There are many different types of web browsers available with various capabilities and a wide range of supported platforms. Creating a web pageTo create a web page, one needs a general text or or a special HTML or like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Mozilla Composer and so on, and a FTP program to upload the page to the web server. One can use the web browser to upload the web page file to the server, but that is not recommended. One can also use a pre-made web template to create a web page. Web Templates let web page designers the content of a web page without having to worry about the overall asthetics. Wiki is a special way to create or modify and upload web pages without FTP-ing or upload file, only filling a text form in a web page. Wikipedia is an example of wiki technology. Saving a web pageWhen saving a local copy of a web page, the web browser usually allows a choice between:
The common web browsers, like Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, also allow you to print the currently viewed web page or optionally "print" to a file which can later be viewed or printed. This has an advantage in that some web pages are specially designed using Cascading Style Sheets, or a separately generated page, to show both the text and target destination of links contained within the web page. Likewise any images are contained within the single file. For a short page another possibility is saving a screenshot (only useful in special cases). This shows links, but not their destination.
