Web page

A web page (also written as webpage) is a document that is suitable to act as a web resource on the World Wide Web.

Web resources may be any type of downloaded media, but web pages are hypertext media that have been formatted in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).

In order to graphically display a web page, a web browser is needed.

When a user requests a particular website, the web browser retrieves the necessary content from a web server and then displays the resulting web page on the user's device.

This is a type of software that can retrieve web pages from the Internet.

The terms Internet and World Wide Web are often used interchangeably in everyday speech; it is common to speak of "going on the Internet" when using a web browser to view web pages.

A website will typically contain a group of web pages that are linked together, or have some other coherent method of navigation.

A website or web site is a collection of related network web resources, such as web pages, multimedia content, which are typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server.

On a network, a web browser can retrieve a web page from a remote web server.

The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients.

A static web page is delivered exactly as stored, as web content in the web server's file system.

A static web page (sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application.

Web browsers will frequently have to access multiple web resource elements, such as style sheets, scripts, and images, while presenting each web page. In contrast, a dynamic web page is generated by a web application, driven by server-side software, running on the client-side (on the web browser), or both.

A server-side dynamic web page is a web page whose construction is controlled by an application server processing server-side scripts.

Typical web pages are hypertext documents which contain hyperlinks, often referred to as links, for browsing to other web pages.

Webgraph is a graph, formed from web pages as vertices and hyperlinks, as directed edges.

In contrast, a dynamic web page is generated by a web application, driven by server-side software, running on the client-side (on the web browser), or both.

For example, web browsers are clients that connect to web servers and retrieve web pages for display.

A static web page is delivered exactly as stored, as web content in the web server's file system.

It was possible for anyone to own a "Web page" or a "home page" which in many cases the website contained many physical pages in spite of being called "a page".

In contrast, a dynamic web page is generated by a web application, driven by server-side software, running on the client-side (on the web browser), or both.

In contrast, web applications use web documents written in a standard format such as HTML and JavaScript, which are supported by a variety of web browsers.

The user launched the Java applet from a web page, and the applet was then executed within a Java virtual machine (JVM) in a process separate from the web browser itself.

In the early 2000s, Flash was widely installed on desktop computers, and was commonly used to display interactive web pages, online games, and to playback video and audio content.

Modern CSS and JavaScript client-side techniques can also achieve all of these goals.

JavaScript enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications.

Meta elements are tags used in HTML and XHTML documents to provide structured metadata about a Web page.

This kind of "website standard information" are supplied by technologies like web template systems.

A web template system in web publishing lets web designers and developers work with web templates to automatically generate custom web pages, such as the results from a search.

To create a web page, a text editor or a specialized HTML editor is needed.

An HTML editor is a program for editing HTML, the markup of a web page.

This may or may not truncate the browsing history or create a saved version to go back to, but a dynamic web page update using Ajax technologies will neither create a page to go back to, nor truncate the web browsing history forward of the displayed page.

Within the realm of computing, the web browsing history is the list of web pages a user has visited recently, as well as associated data such as page title and time of visit, which is recorded by web browser software as standard for a certain period of time.

Other ways of making a web page are to download specialized software, like a Wiki, CMS, or forum.

Many use all-in-one services for web domain purchases, web hosting service and templates to build customized websites.

The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface.

Web browsers will frequently have to access multiple web resource elements, such as style sheets, scripts, and images, while presenting each web page.

This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a separate .css file, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.

Frames and the W3C recommended an alternative of 2000, the <object> tag, also allow some content to remain in one place while other content can be scrolled using conventional scrollbars.

An HTML element is an individual component of an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) document or web page.

A web page can either be a single HTML file or made up of multiple HTML files using frames or Server Side Includes (SSIs).

In the context of a web browser, a frame is a part of a web page or browser window which displays content independent of its container, with the ability to load content independently.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) recommend that web pages are designed with all of these options in mind.

It allows web pages (or portions of pages) to declare themselves as applications rather than as static documents, by adding role, property, and state information to dynamic web applications.

A client-side dynamic web page processes the web page using HTML scripting running in the browser as it loads.

It defines how locally executable scripts may be used in a web page.
