Frames

that enables the Web author to divide the browser display area into
two or more sections (frames). The contents of each frame are taken
from a different Web page. Frames provide great flexibility in designing
Web pages.
HTML
Short for HyperText Markup Language, the authoring language
used to create documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is similar
to SGML. HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document
by using a variety of tags and attributes. The correct structure
for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD>(enter
here what document is about)<BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>.
All the information you'd like to include in your Web page fits
in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.
HTTP
Short for HyperText Transfer Protocol, the underlying protocol
used by the World Wide Web. HTTP defines how messages are formatted
and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should
take in response to various commands.
Hyperlink
An element in an electronic document that links to another
place in the same document or to an entirely different document.
Typically, you click on the hyperlink to follow the link. Hyperlinks
are the most essential ingredient of all hypertext systems, including
the World Wide Web. ex: highwebsales.com
Hypertext
A special type of database system, invented by Ted Nelson in
the 1960s, in which objects (text, pictures, music, programs, and
so on) can be creatively linked to each other. When you select an
object, you can see all the other objects that are linked to it.
ou can move from one object to another even though they might have
very different forms. Hypertext systems are particularly useful
for organizing and browsing through large databases that consist
of disparate types of information. There are several Hypertext systems
available for Apple Macintosh computers and PCs that enable you
to develop your own databases. Such systems are often called authoring
systems . HyperCard software from Apple Computer is the most famous.
