web design vocabulary

HTML

n. A markup language used to structure text and multimedia documents and to set up hypertext links between documents, used extensively on the World Wide Web.

[H(yper)t(ext) M(arkup) L(anguage).]



URL
Short for Uniform Resource Locator. An Internet address (for example, http://www.hmco.com/trade/), usually consisting of the access protocol (http), the domain name (www.hmco.com), and optionally the path to a file or resource residing on that server (trade).



Cascading Style Sheets World-Wide Web
(CSS) An extension to HTML to allow styles, e.g. colour, font, size to be specified for certain elements of a hypertext document. Style information can be included in-line in the HTML file or in a separate CSS file (which can then be easily shared by multiple HTML files). Multiple levels of CSS can be used to allow selective overriding of styles.
