Introducing the World Wide Web

• A network is a structure linking computers together for the purpose of sharing resources such as printers and files

• Users typically access a network through a computer called a host or node

• A computer that makes a service available to a network is called a server



• A computer or other device that requests services from a server is called a client

• One of the most common network structures is the client-server network

• If the computers that make up a network are close together (within a single department or building), then the network is referred to as a local area network (LAN) MAN?

WAN?



• A network that covers a wide area, such as several buildings or cities, is called a wide area network (WAN)

• The largest WAN in existence is the Internet• In its early days, the Internet was called

ARPANET and consisted of two network nodes located at UCLA and Stanford, connected by a phone line



• Today the Internet has grown to include hundreds of millions of interconnected computers, cell phones, PDAs, televisions, and networks

• The physical structure of the Internet uses fiber-optic cables, satellites, phone lines, and other telecommunications media


Structure of the Internet


The Development of the Word Wide Web

• Timothy Berners-Lee and other researchers at the CERN nuclear research facility near Geneva, Switzerland laid the foundations for the World Wide Web, or the Web, in 1989

• They developed a system of interconnected hypertext documents that allowed their users to easily navigate from one topic to another

• Hypertext is a method of organizing information that gives the reader control over the order in which the information is presented


Hypertext Documents

• When you read a book, you follow a linear progression, reading one page after another

• With hypertext, you progress through pages in whatever way is best suited to you and your objectives

• Hypertext lets you skip from one topic to another


Linear versus hypertext documents


Hypertext Documents

• The key to hypertext is the use of hyperlinks (or links) which are the elements in a hypertext document that allow you to jump from one topic to another

• A link may point to another section of the same document, or to another document entirely

• A link can open a document on your computer, or through the Internet, a document on a computer anywhere in the world


Hypertext Documents,Web Servers and Web Browsers

• An entire collection of linked documents is referred to as a Web site

• The hypertext documents within a Web site are known as Web pages

• Individual pages can contain text, audio, video, and even programs that can be run remotely

• A Web page is stored on a Web server, which in turn makes it available to the network

• To view a Web page, a client runs a software program called a Web browser, which retrieves the page from the server and displays it


Using a browser to view a Web document from a Web server


HTML: The Language of the Web

• A Web page is a text file written in a language called Hypertext Markup Language

• A markup language is a language that describes a document’s structure and content

• HTML is not a programming language or a formatting language

• Styles are format descriptions written in a separate language from HTML that tell browsers how to render each element. Styles are used to format your document

one word

From now on, it (your personal information) is required for ALL assignments to be added.

How to improve it?

CSS code

<body style="background-color:lightgreen" text="black" link="red" vlink="blue" alink="aqua" background="images/wall.gif"><a name="top"> </a><script type="text/javascript"> document.write(Date()) </script><center> <h1>Welcome to JASON CHEN's Home Page! </h1> </center> <br /> <br /><ul style="list-style-type: circle; text-indent: 15pt"> <li><a href="myself.pptx"> <b>Know more about me with PowerPoint presentation </b></a> </li> <li><a href="myresume.docx"><b>Visit my resume (MS-WORD format) </b></a> </li></ul><img src="images/book.gif" height="100" width="100" align="right" alt="Book logo" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><pre> <b> ******************************************************* © (your name here) ... (your add any appropriate information here) ... *******************************************************</b> </pre><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><center> <a href="#top"><span style="font-size: small">Go to the Top of the Page! </span></a> </center> <address>For comments about my web site, please e-mail me at:<a href="MAILTO:[email protected]">[email protected] <img src="images/mailbox.gif" height="36" width="36" alt="Mailbox logo"/></a></address> <br />This document was last updated on:<script type="text/javascript"> document.write(document.lastModified);</script>

Anything Else?

Figure 1. revised partially index.html (for Web2)


Creating Links Within a Document

• To create a link within a document, you enclose the content that you want to format as a link in an <a> tag, and use the href attribute to identify the link target

• A link’s content is not limited to text

<ul style="list-style-type: circle; text-indent: 15pt"> <li><a href="myself.pptx"> <b>Know more about me with PowerPoint presentation </b></a> </li> <li><a href="myresume.docx"><b>Visit my resume (MS-WORD format) </b></a> </li></ul>


Creating Element Ids for Linking Documents

• One way to identify elements in an HTML document is to use the id attribute

• Id names must be unique• Id names are not case sensitive

In web#2

<a name=“top">

…

<a href="#top"><span style="font-size: small">Go to the Top of the Page! </span></a>


What you should do on Web#2• Your job in Web#2 is to figure out ALL

differences between Web#1 and Web#2 and update the existing index.html with the version of Web#2.

• How?– 1) Open index.html using NotePad or NotePad++– 2) Update index.html with A)LL changes in

Web#2– 3) Use your intelligence to find their differences

This is required for all HTML HW


1. Create an ‘images’ folder and copy image files (see Figure 1 for your web structure). You should copy required six image files from my images folder to your Web source. They are available for you to download from the Blackboard (under either Course Documents or Assignments). Follow the instruction below to complete the task:

From within H: Drive, a) create a new folder of images (lower case) under public_html From within Blackboard b) right click an image file (e.g., book.gif) select “Save Target As or Save Link As” from the pop-up menu save the book.gif in the folder of images that you just created in step a)

Please note that i) if you do not have images folder in the H: drive, you should create it before you save the image file ii) if you are working your assignment off campus, you should first save ALL image files on your local PC, you then upload (FTP) them to your Web source. iii) repeat steps b) c) d) for the remaining image files.
