How web pages work
-The interconnected devices on the web use a communication standard known as http (hypertext transfer protocol).
-A web page is a document which can display text, graphics, audio, video and other elements through a web browser.
-Web pages are documents stored on web servers.
-Web pages contain instructions on how to display content. The most common instructions are in hypertext markup language (HTML).
-An IP address is a unique string of numbers separated by periods that identifies each computer using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network.
-The web browser fetches a web page from a server by a request. A standard http request includes a page address. For example: http://www.w3.org/standards/about.html
-Web servers are also called web hosts.
-An address or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the method for locating a document on the web. The URL typically points to the home or default page (often index.html) that is located in the root folder of the website.
-The documents within a website are typically hyperlinked and a navigation system (or menu) permits the user to move between pages.
-A simple website could be organized in just one folder, but large websites need to be organized in some manner because of the large number of files.
-A relative link means that it is relative to the current document. The web server knows the location of the current document. The web server knows the location of the current document so it knows how to find relative links.
-An absolute link defines the location of the document including the protocol required to get the document, the server, the directory, and the name of the document.
-The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that develops open standards.
-An open standard is a standard that is publicly available and has various rights to use associated with it, and may also have various properties of how it is designed (e.g. open process)
-The W3C developed the standards for HTML and CSS.
-The W3C has a Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) which develops strategies, guidelines, and resources to help make the web accessible to people with disabilities.
