•A Web
page is stored on a Web server, which in turn makes it available to the network.
•
•To view a Web page, a client runs a software program called a Web browser, which retrieves the page from the server and displays it.
•
•The earliest browsers, known as text-based browsers, were incapable
of displaying images.
•
•Today most computers support graphical browsers which are capable
of displaying not only images, but also video, sound, animations, and a variety of graphical features.
