The web server makes a copy of this page along with the graphical images linked by the page and returns them to you. Because it makes a copy, many people can view this page at the same time. It sends all of this information back over the lines and through the network devices to your computer. From there, the browser that you are using reads the code in the file, makes it into a page and added the graphics as instructed by the web page code. All these steps are completed almost instantaneously.
Web pages do, however, contain placeholders for specific graphics.
The browser adds the graphics into the placeholders. The end result is technically a web page with graphics added. Kirk Consulting and Web Design. All rights reserved.
