A web page is displayed in a normal computer application window, and looks not unlike a word processing document window. Scroll bars are displayed if the page is too long or too wide, and you can perform the usual windowing functions such as minimize, maximize, change size, and close. A web page has a similar format to a magazine page, consisting of text and graphics in a functional layout. Once created and published on a web site, the web page is communicated to web browsers by a web server . Graphics are displayed if your browser supports them and they haven't been turned off in your configuration settings to optimize the download speed.
Graphics come in a wide range of formats.
At one time GIF's were the most popular, but lately they are going out of style . Web pages have been published on almost every subject under the sun, by almost every type of person and organization. There are a wide range of applications that enable the construction of web pages in the HTML language, and most word processors now let you save documents in HTML format.
