Reading and Writing q2 m6
We have learned from the previous lesson that a claim of value is an arguable statement that presents one’s stand or point
about a particular subject or issue. In doing so, one needs to present convincing details that would persuade people to believe in
his/her point.
A hyperlink is an automated cross-reference to another location on the same document or to another document which,
when selected by a user, causes the computer to display the linked location or document within a very short period of time. They
take the form of buttons, underlined words and phrases, and other “hot” areas on the screen.
Web designers and others who are interested in hypertext often use the term “node” to refer to chunks of content. The
term “node” or Web page is the fundamental unit of hypertext content while links (or hyperlinks) are the pathways between
nodes.
Hypertext is a type of database that is well suited for handling large chunks of text. A database is a set of data that has a
regular structure and that is organized in such a way that a computer can easily find the desired information.
Hypertext documents can be static, dynamic or active.
A static document is one that is prepared in advance and appears in the web browser as is. The author of a static
document determines the content at the time the document is written.
A dynamically generated document is one that does not exist in a final form but, rather, is produced according to user
input, such as according to information that a user enters on a form.
An active document consists of a computer program that the server sends to the browser and that the browser must run
locally. When it runs, the active document program can interact with the user and change the display continuously.
