1) What is the difference between a “Web page” and an “HTML page”?

Web page is a file in the Internet that we can serve by the browser. It usually written in HTML. It can consist of animation, text, background, colors, sound, and others. More than one web page is called Web site.

HTML page contain Hyper Text Mark up Language tags which contain commands for example attribute or structure and content that are being display in the web page. Web browser use this information to determining how to display the page.

2) Do you need to be connected to the Internet constantly while you create HTML pages? Explain your answer.

No. We do not need to be connected to the Internet connection at all if we only want to create Web page for publication on CD-ROM, zip/floppy disk/local network.

3) Define the terms Internet, Web page, and World Wide Web.

The Internet is the "network of networks" that connects millions of computers around the globe. It was the largest network because people can access it without any frontier.
A Web page is a text document that uses commands in a special language called HTML to add formatting, graphics and other media, and links to other pages.
The World Wide Web is a collective name for all the Web pages on the Internet. It also an internet service that provide easy feature and exiting multimedia interface to a lot of resources in the internet.

4) How many files would you need to store on computer to make a Web page with some text and two image on it?

At least three files: one for the text (which includes the HTML commands) and one for each graphics image. In some cases, we might need more files to add a background pattern, sound, or interactive features to the page.

5) Can you create Web page with Microsoft Word or WordPerfect? If so, how?

Yes, or with any other word processor on any computer (as long as the word processor will save "plain text" or "ASCII" files). Many word processors also now allow us to save text in HTML format, and they will write some of the HTML for us.

Then make each heading look like this:
<H1><FONT COLOR="yellow">Heading goes here</FONT></H1>

21) Explain the usage of any other HTML command which is not discussed in the class, using suitable examples.

For example, <marquee scroll amount=”10” scroll delay=”10”> this tag mean the word that we highlight will move scroll with amount 10 and the time delay is also 10.

22) Search for any free web site in the Internet and check whether you can upload molecular structure data files such as .mol, .xyz, etc. Give the name of this web site and comment whether this web site is much easier to use compared to other web sites.

The name of the web site is www.pdb.org . The web page is easier to use compared to other web site because it provides a lot of molecule structure and composition that can be downloaded into pdb file.

23) Write the IP addresses of the three computers in different places and use these examples to explain the classification of IP addresses as belonging to Class A, Class B..etc.

Most computers on the Internet also have an identifying name known as a domain name. For example, the domain for the main IIUM email address is 10.1.2.11 the relationship between domain names and IP addresses is available on the net from computers known as domain name servers (DNS). For example, class A subnets AAA.xxx.yyy.zzz where the first dotted decimal (AAA) determine the organization and the last three (xxx.yyy.zzz) specify a computer in the organization. For class B, AAA.BBB.xxx.yyy where the first dotted decimal digit (AAA.BBB) determine the subnet while the last two (xxx.yyy) specify the computer in the subnet. For class C, AAA.BBB.CCC.xxx in which the first three fields of the IP address (AAA.BBB.CCC) are specified and the last field can vary, these subnet provide 256 IP addresses.
