The Internet Browser has become a critical application across the business market and with the Cloud (Internet Applications) starting to gain in popularity, the browser will become even more important and more and more of your peers look to access information online.
Web browsers communicate with web servers primarily using HTTP (hyper-text transfer protocol) to fetch webpages. HTTP allows web browsers to submit information to web servers as well as fetch web pages from them. The most commonly used HTTP is HTTP/1.1. Web Pages are located by means of a URL (uniform resource locator), which is treated as an address, beginning with http: for HTTP access. Many browsers also support a variety of other URL types and their corresponding protocols, such as ftp: for FTP (file transfer protocol), gopher: for Gopher, and https: for HTTPS (an SSL encrypted version of HTTP).
The generally accepted file format for a web page is usually HTML (hyper-text markup language) and is identified in the HTTP protocol using a MIME content type. Most browsers certainly support other technology formats in addition to HTML, such as the JPEG PNG and GIF image formats, and can be extended to support more through the use of plugins. The combination of HTTP content type and URL protocol specification allows web page designers to embed images, animations, video, sound, and streaming media into a web page, or to make them accessible through the web page.
In the beginning web browsers supported only a very simple version of HTML. The rapid development of web browsers led to the development of HTML into a more complex avatars. Modern web browsers support standards-based HTML and XHTML which should display in the same way across all browsers. Web sites today are designed using WYSIWYG HTML generation programs such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage. There are continuous development activities in developing standards, specifically with XHTML and CSS (cascading style sheets, used for page layout). Some of the more popular browsers include additional components to support Usenet news, IRC (Internet relay chat), and e-mail. Protocols supported may include NNTP (network news transfer protocol), SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol), IMAP (Internet message access protocol), and POP (post office protocol).
To get an idea what Internet Browsers interpret- that is, the code that makes up this web page on your browser window, simply click on the "View" tab, located on the top tool bar and choose "Source", or "View Source". (Depending upon the browser you are using while viewing this page) Or, using your mouse, right click anywhere in the browser display window of this page and choose/select "View source".
Other features generally include: - Autocomplete - Tabbed browsing - Spatial navigation - Caret navigation - Screen reader - Pop-up Blocker - Ad filtering - Phishing
Understanding how a web browser works, and how it's interpreted display appears in a text file, is one of the first steps of understanding and learning how to code HTML.
