Need for Creating Web pages:
The web is becoming an integral part of our working (and playing) world. You cannot spit anymore these days without hitting a URL. In a very short time span, the web has revolutionized the way we access information, education, business, entertainment. It has created industries where there were none before.

Being able to develop information on the web might be a job skill, a class requirement, a business necessity, or a personal interest. Unlike any other previous medium, the ability to "write" HTML allows you to potentially connect with millions of other people, as your own self-publisher

JavaScript
JavaScript offers a way to add intelligence and interactivity to Web pages. JavaScript can be used for the following purposes:

Process data collected in HTML forms right on the user's computer, without involving a server (or a programmer with advanced Perl, C, or other programming language skills)

Create and store data on the user's machine
Add interactivity to graphics
Change page elements on the fly based on user input; and
Integrate HTML data more tightly with other Web technologies (eg. Java applets and ActiveX controls)

IGIB Web pages for Databases:
IGIB has created 10 databases which must be launched online so that those databases can be made publicly available. Those databases created using Microsoft Access as the backend and Visual Basic as the Backend. Through these web pages one can view the front ends and also utilize the information contained in it.

For this purpose Deepa, Lipi Thukral and Poornima have created a web interface for launching these databases online. These IGIB web pages have 5 basic pages/links.
