Components of a Web Page

Notes:

You experience Web pages through a browser such as Netscape or Mosaic. I don't think I have to explain how this works:

You click, therefore you exist!

Different browsers may display the same page in different ways. There is even a non-graphical browser called Lynx for those users with only a terminal interface to the Web:

For Techies:

<title> and <h1> are HTML tags. Tags define how a page should appear logically, but not physically. The browser determines what physical fonts and colors are used, based on what is available on the client.
