What Makes a Web Page ???

OK, first a basic definition: Web Page.

How is a Page defined on the Web? A Page is all the stuff a reader can see and scroll through at any one time in their Web Browser (Netscape, Mosaic, Explorer, whatever...).  Once they click on a link or type in a new URL, they go to another page.  A page may be very long, and the reader scrolls through many screens of text.  Or it may be very short, a few words and a picture.  It is not the same as a page in a book, all of which are the same physical size.  It is more like a news or magazine article, possibly short, possibly long.



So, that's what a page is.  But what makes a web page?  What are the pieces that get put together to create a web page?  Stop reading for a moment, and look at this page overall, asking what it's basic pieces are.

First think about your answer, then look at mine...
