USING URLs


            You have learnt in the previous class that every Web page has a unique address,
            called a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL. URLs help you to navigate the web.
            When you provide a URL to the browser, the browser finds that URL’s Web page

            and then transfers the Web page to your PC. The content of the web page then
            appears in the Web browser window. You can specify a URL in several ways, but
            two methods are commonly used. Let us discuss about them.

            Using Address Bar

            Type  the  URL  in the  browser’s  Address bar and  Press the  Enter  key  from  the

            keyboard.
            Suppose, you want to visit the Google. To do this, you can type www.google.com
            in the Address bar and then press Enter key. The home page of Google opens.

            Using Hyperlink

            A hyperlink is simply a part of the Web page that is linked to a URL. A hyperlink

            can appear as text, an image, or a navigational tool such as a button or an arrow.
            You can click a hyperlink and jump from your present location to the URL specified
            by the hyperlink. Hyperlinked text usually looks different from normal text on a
            Web page. It is often underlined, but can be formatted in a number of ways.

                E-MAIL

            An Electronic mail or e-mail can be defined as the process of exchanging messages
            electronically through a communication network by using computer. Apart from
            messages, we can share documents, multimedia files and program files by using
            e-mail. We can  use the  e-mail service by  registering  ourselves with  any  of  the
            e-mail service provides.
            Features of E-mail


            E-mail has several features. Some of them are as follows:
                Ability to attach the files along the message.

                Ability to store the information such as message and contact list.

                Ability to send Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) type files.

               Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) is an Internet standard to expand
               capabilities of e-mail. It was invented by Bell Communications in 1991 to send
               audio, video, images, and application programs as attachments in e-mail.
