    1. What is WWW?

    The World Wide Web commonly known as the Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them via hyperlinks. How does it evolve? 2. What is the difference between .htm and .html?
    Practical Differences

    Practically speaking, there is no difference between the two extensions. Both denote that the file contains HTML. This is really a matter of convention and is not an absolute, but most realize that a file whose extension is htm or html contains HTML. On most, if not all, servers either file will be sent with a MIME type of text/html by default. This can usually be changed by the server's administrator(s), but is, more often then not, left alone. On most, if not all, browsers, either file will be displayed as intended (i.e. rendered according to the browser's default manner of displaying HTML documents). This last is due more to the MIME type sent by the server then by the file's extension, but that's a matter for another FAQ. Generally, the use of htm over html, or vice versa, is left to the author's personal preferences.
    Technical Differences

    Technically speaking there are few to no important differences. An obvious difference is the addition of the letter "L" in the html extension. The technical difference that the additional letter will make to the operating system is better left to a different discussion but in the context of a web author, the additional "L" will make no difference. The technical difference that the additional letter will make to an http server (a "web server") is minimal. Usually, a server will use a file's extension to figure out what MIME type to send back to the requesting client. Most servers are configured by default to send back the text/html type when the requested file ends in an htm or html extension. This can be changed by the server's administrator(s) in such a way that one of the above extensions returns a different MIME type then the other, however, this is not a very common practice. It is a common misconception that a file ending in an htm extension had to have been created on a DOS/Windows 3.x platform. This is because those operating environments limit filenames to a 3 letter extension. However, it is very simple to create a file with a 3 letter extension on most other platforms, as well. Even those that allow longer file extensions.

    The difference is 1 because HTML has 4 letters and HTM has 3 so 4-1 leaves the difference of 1. Actually as explained earlier by others because extensions used to be limited to three characters (this included email address) htm was used, but now html is better to use for two reason those systems that do understand four letter extensions can read it and those that can't will still display. 3. Difference between internet and 4. 12 HTML tags. Discuss.

    HTML Tags in Logical Order


    The HTML tags are listed in a logical order in which they would be used to create a web page. The corresponding tutorial pages are provided and where applicable the commonly used CSS for the tag is also given.

    Doctype Tag

    Provides information to the browser about the type of content in the web page.
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    See: Doctype

    HTML Tag

    Required on all HTML pages except those that use framesets. (Frames Obsolete in HTML 5) Defines the content as HTML code.
    <html></html>

    Common CSS dir: lang: xml:lang Note: An easy way to define the attributes for your HTML tag is to add these two meta tags to your head section.
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    See: Basic HTML Page

    Head Tag

    Defines the head section of the HTML page and provides information to the browser about the content of the web page.
    <head></head>

    Common CSS none See: Basic HTML Page

    Link Tag

    This tag always appears in the head section and is used to link a style sheet to the web page.
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style-div.css" type="text/css">

    Common CSS none See: Style Sheets

    Body Tag

    Defines the body section of the HTML page where the code for the visible content of the page resides.
    <body></body>

    Common CSS width: height: margin: padding: color: background-color: background: background-image: background-repeat: See: The Body Tag

    Division Tag

    The division tag used to to create sections, columns and rows in the body section. Can be used to create the entire structure of the page.

    <div></div>

    Common CSS width: height: float: margin: padding: border: background-color: background: background-image: background-repeat: See: The Division Tag, The ID Attribute and Float Property

    Header Tag

    The header tag comes in six default sizes and is used for page and paragraph headings.
    <h1></h1>

    Common CSS font-family: font-style : font-size : font-weight : text-align : color : background-color: background: margin: padding: float: line-height: Also: h2, h3,h4 h5 and h6 See: Style Sheets, Working With Fonts and The Header Tag

    The Paragraph Tag

    Use this tag to place paragraphs on your web page.


    <p></p>

    Common CSS font-family: font-style :

    font-size : font-weight : text-align : color : background-color: background: margin: padding: float: line-height: See: Style Sheets, Working With Fonts and The Paragraph Tag

    Anchor Tag

    The anchor tag is most often used to create links for linking one web page to another.
    <a href=""></a>

    Common CSS font-family: font-style : font-size : font-weight : text-decoration : color: background-color: background: margin: padding: line-height : Note: When placed within paragraphs, anchor text inherits the settings of the paragraph tag as far as font-family, style and size. You do need to define color if you want to change them from the default link colors. See: Anchor Tag

    Image Tag

    The image tag is used to add pictures to a web page.


    <img src="" alt="Alternate text required">

    Common CSS width: height:

    border: float: margin: padding: max-width: Note: When building liquid web pages, DO NOT define the dimensions ( width and height ) of your images. Add the line, img { max-width: 100% } to your style sheet and images will expand and contract with the size of the browser window and container. Images will not scale properly if you add dimensions! See: Using Images, Anchor Tag - Image and Paragraphs-Images

    Address Tag

    The address tag can be used to add footer information to a web page.
    <address></address>

    Common CSS font-family: font-style : font-size : font-weight : text-align : color: background: margin: padding: See: Style Sheets and Working With Fonts

    Line Break Tag

    The line break tag is used to break lines of text or to add space between elements on a page.
    <br>

    Common CSS clear: See: Line Break Tag

    5. Importance of domain name. On the World Wide Web your domain name is your own unique identity. No two parties can ever hold the same domain name simultaneously; therefore your Internet identity is totally

    unique. If you have a business site on the Internet your domain name is your own online brand and in a sense you can use your domain name as your online business card. With your own domain name your web site, and e-mail addresses for example will have that professional look, being unique to your business. Many people often miss the importance of having and then keeping their domain name until they lose it. Once this happens they soon realize that they have lost their whole online identity. How does a domain name work?

    To understand why you need a domain name you first need to know how a domain name works. A domain name is an addressing construct, used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses, which are a series of numbers used to identify each other on the Internet; however, many people find it hard to remember IP Addresses. Because of this, domain names were developed so that easily remembered names and phrases could be used to identify entities in the Internet instead of using an IP Address. For example, the domain name M6.net identifies the company M6.net. When a user types the domain name M6.net in their browser or sends an email to M6.net, the Domain Name System (DNS) will translate the domain name into IP numbers. These are then used by the Internet to connect the user to M6.net's web presence.

    6. A web search engine- is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

    7 "Hybrid Search Engines" Or Mixed Results In the web's early days, it used to be that a search engine either presented crawler-based results or human-powered listings. Today, it extremely common for both types of results to be presented. Usually, a hybrid search engine will favor one type of listings over another. For example, MSN Search is more likely to present human-powered listings from LookSmart. However, it does also present crawler-based results (as provided by Inktomi), especially for more obscure queries. The Same, But Different All crawler-based search engines have the basic parts described above, but there are differences in how these parts are tuned. That is why the same search on different search engines often produces different results. Some of the significant differences between the major crawler-based

    search engines are summarized on the Search Engine Features Page. Information on this page has been drawn from the help pages of each search engine, along with knowledge gained from articles, reviews, books, independent research, tips from others and additional information received directly from the various search engines.
