Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a system for marking up documents with tags that indicate how text in the documents should be presented and how the documents are linked together. We use Web browser to navigate the WWW. The most popular web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The Address of a web page is called URL which stands for Uniform Resource Locator. Linking is used to create a Web of pages. A Hyper Link Joins to web pages together. The web pages which uses only HTML are called Static Web Pages. Now a days web pages can have script embedded in them and can display dynamic content are called Dynamic Pages. Don't confuse dynamic pages with Dynamic HTML, which is sort of a new version(4.0) of HTML. JavaScript, Jscript, VBScript can be used on client side as well as server side. Client Side, I mean web browser can process script. Server side scripting means server will process the script and will generate HTML to send to Web browser. Java, Java Applets can also be used on the client side which requires Java Virtual Machine to be present on the client machine to process Java Applet program. The heart and soul of any good Web site is the back-end server. The Web server can provide static Web pages in the form of HTML documents, but it can also execute applications that significantly enhance the content of a site. Microsoft Internet Information Server, or IIS, is the primary Web server for sites constructed on Microsoft Windows NT technology, and it represents a vast improvement over servers that simply use CGI to create content. Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) allows you to create server-side applications that can be used by a variety of browsers. ASP is essentially nothing more than VBScript that runs on the server. The script code generates HTML when a page is requested. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
