Frames
A feature supported by most modern Web browsers than enables the Web author to divide the browser display area into two or more sections (frames). The contents of each frame are taken from a different Web page. Frames provide great flexibility in designing Web pages, but many designers avoid them because they are hard to index in search engines correctly.

JPEG (JPG)
("Jay - peg")
Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and pronounced jay-peg. JPEG is a lossy compression technique for color images. Although it can reduce files sizes to about 5% of their normal size, some detail is lost in the compression.

Link (aka HREF aka Anchor)
In hypertext systems, such as the World Wide Web, a link is a reference to another document. Such links are sometimes called hot links because they take you to other document when you click on them. A link ususally leads to another URL or URI (see below)

Menu (Navigation)
You can enter another area on a site by simply pointing and clicking on a menu item. This is a list of links on a website.

  • Home menu: A menu that appears on the home page giving access to other areas in the site.
    subpage menu: A menu that appears on the inside pages of your site.
    pop-up menu: A menu that appears temporarily when you click the mouse button on a selection. Once you make a selection from a pop-up menu, the menu usually disappears.
  • MouseOver
    A JavaScript element that triggers a change on an item (usually a graphic) in a Web page when the mouse passes over it.

    Scrolling
    To view consecutive lines of data on the display screen. The term scroll means that once the screen is full, each new line appears at the edge of the screen and all other lines move over one position. For example, when you scroll down, each new line appears at the bottom of the screen and all the other lines move up one row, so that the top line disappears.

    The term vertical scrolling refers to the ability to scroll up or down. Horizontal scrolling means that the data moves sideways.

    In theory, the display should move smoothly, as if it were a piece of paper being moved up, down, or sideways. In practice, however, scrolling is not always so smooth.

    The scrolling method of viewing documents does not recognize page boundaries. One advantage to scrolling, therefore, is that you can look at the end of one page and the beginning of the next page at the same time.

    Splash Page
    A page in a Web site that the user sees first before being given the option to continue to the main content of the site. Splash pages are used to promote a company, service or product or are used to inform the user of what kind of software or browser is necessary in order to view the rest of the site's pages. Often a splash page will consist of animated graphics and sounds that entice the user into exploring the rest of the Web site. Some splash pages will bring the user to the main Web site automatically, and some require the user to click on a link that will load the main page.

    SubPage
    Any of the inside pages of a website. The home page menu contains links into the sites subpages.

    Table
    Refers to data arranged in rows and columns. A spreadsheet, for example, is a table.
