Web Pages


A Web page is an online document which can be read by a Web browser. To go to a Web page, type its URL (Uniform Resource Locator or "address") in the address bar of your Web browser.

Web pages can contain text, graphics, animations, video and sound. Web pages can include dynamic elements which change or update continually (such as stock quotes, sports scores, and news bulletins). Web pages can contain hyperlinks — underlined text which you can click to go to other Web pages. Most Web pages also include a navigation bar (usually graphic buttons) to provide quick links to other pages within that Web site.

There are Web sites for every possible interest and use, including:
