web page Web}, identified by a {URL}. In the simplest, most common case, a web page is a file written in {HTML}, stored on the {server}. It may refer to {images} which appear as part of the page when it is displayed by a {web browser}. It is also possible for the server to generate pages dynamically in response to a request, e.g. using a {CGI} script. A web page can be in any format that the browser or a {helper application} can display. The format is transmitted as part of the headers of the response as a {MIME} type, e.g. "text/html", "image/gif". An HTML web page will typically refer to other web pages and {Internet} resources by including {hypertext} links. A {web site} often has a {home page} (usually just the hostname, e.g. http://www.foldoc.org/). It may also have individual home pages for each user with an account at the site. (1999-03-21) | |
