Welcome to my Resource Page

The World Wide Web is a vast, constantly growing collection of information.  Whether you want to shop, research your favorite hobby, communicate with friends and family across the world or create your own little place on the web, you will spend a lot of time doing so.   As a beginner in Web Page Design, this page was created to provide you with some helpful links and other issues you may want to keep in mind.

WAR OF THE BROWSERS
A web browser allows you to display web pages and navigate the web.  As you navigate through this page, you will understand why I have indicated this page best viewed with Internet Explorer.  Also, it happens to be my personal preference; habits are hard to break.  Make up your own mind and visit the links where you will find statistics, alternative browsers, comparisons and other relative articles.
COMPUTER QUESTIONS ????
No matter what level of experience you have using computers, there is always a question to be raised.  Thanks to the resources available on the World Wide Web, the answer is within reach.  Whether you are looking for data on common computer file types or information on burning CD's, you will find the definitions, directions and links here. 
I WANT TO MAKE A WEB PAGE!!
First, set aside a block of time and settle down with a good book.  There are some excellent choices; most provide a web site including excerpts from the book and example styles.  I have included several links to explore to get you going on the right track. 

Let's Get Creative

After you've checked out some of the HTML Tutorials, and feel comfortable with your basic HTML codes, why not add a little spice to your pages.   This is called a Contractible Header Script.  If you are using Internet Explorer to view this page, the information you are reading will be revealed only when the header is clicked on.   All other browsers will see the headers uncontracted.   Welcome to JavaScript.  Browse through the links to find this and many other scripts.

What About Images

As you can see, contents other than text can be displayed when you click on the header.  Have fun with your photos or other images.  Please keep in mind this page is always under..........
COOKIE ANYONE ??
Ok, we are not talking oatmeal raisin here.  A cookie is a piece of information that a Web Server gives to your browser when the two first meet and which they then share with each return visit.   Why? A JavaScript programmer may want to keep track of which parts of their site you have visited, and count the number of times you have been there.  A cookie is just a simple text file on your hard drive where the JavaScript programmer can store some information.   Cookies cannot transmit viruses, steal secrets from your hard drive or find out any personal information about you.  Notice the folding menu tree on the right.   If you are viewing this page using Internet Explorer you will notice the folders expand when you click on them. (Other browsers will see the files uncontracted). If you visit a link, the folder will remain open when you return.  This is done by using session cookies.  It remembers where you were on your last visit.   Of course, this feature is only visible if your IE browser is cookie enabled.  Check out cookie central for more cookie FAQ.
HAVE A CYBER HEADACHE YET ??
You've read the tutorials.   Understand how to create frames, tables and the addition of some dynamic elements to your pages.   Schedule your page for a check-up where the doctor will perform a series of tests and analyze your site.  What a World Wide Web!
