WWW

The World Wide Web is an information system on the internet that interconnects documents and other resources using hypertext links.

What is a Hypertext Link?

When you navigate to a URL using your browser (Google Chrome), it loads the document resource at the location you’ve given. Right now you are looking at the document at this URL:

    https://computing.norton-pri.n-yorks.sch.uk//year-6/networks/w-w-w/

The line below shows a hypertext link (or hyperlink) to the page we worked from last time. If you click it, the browser will relocate to that page.

/year-6/networks/url-story/

Remember: use the back button to return here!.

Hyperlinks don’t usually show the actual URL they point to. Here’s the same link with different text.

The URL Story from last time

Images on a Page

As we saw last time, images in a page are also linked using URLs. Here’s the kitten image again.

Let’s hack the page to change the image!

Picture URL

If you put in a valid picture URL, you should see the picture below.
