Internet
Internet is simply collection of thousands of interconnected
small computer networks around the globe all using the
same software protocol so as to exchange information
uniformly & easily.
 Internet Browser
An Internet browser is a software program that enables you to
access and navigate the Internet by viewing Web pages on
your computer.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Netscape Navigator

Opera

Mozilla Firefox
 Web Site
A Web site can be a collection of related Web pages. Each
Web site contains a Home page and may also contain
additional \ pages.
 Web Page
Comparable to a page in a book, the basic unit of every Web
site or document on the Web is a page.
 Home Page
It is the Web page that your browser uses when it starts, and
also the Web page that appears every time you open your
browser.
 Title Bar
The name of the Web site or title of the page you are viewing
is found on the top left hand corner of your screen.
 Address Bar
This box gives you the location or address of the current page
you are viewing.
 Tool Bar
It is larger and contains many useful icons divided into three
areas. Each of these icons has a text description of its function
under the icon itself.

 URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
That unusual word at the top of the page in what is known as
the locator box or address box is the address of a Web page.

http:// www.dsbco.lk
The URL or Web address is typically composed of four parts:

A protocol name (a protocol is a set of rules and standards that

enable computers to exchange information)
The location of the site
The name of the organization that maintains the site
A suffix that identifies the kind of organization it is
For example, the address

http:// www.kachcheri.gov
For example, the address
http:// www.kachcheri.gov
is made up of the following areas:
http://

is the most common protocol on the Internet.
