Chapter 4 Quiz and Tour

Tour Self-Guided

of the web

Now that you know a few more details about naming files, domain names,

and the file structure that the web address indicates, go back to the web and

notice these things:

�� Find a page with an inappropriate title, such as “index.htm” or “hexidec.

html.” What do you know how to do that the person who created that

web page doesn’t (or just overlooked)?

�� Find a page that has an icon indicating a missing graphic. Why might the

graphic be missing?

�� Look carefully at a few web addresses. Can you visualize the file structure

now? That is, can you tell which folders are inside of which folders, and

which file is the actual name of the web page you see?

�� When you come across business sites, take note of their domain names.

Do you find a business that does not own its own domain name (such as

hometown.aol.com/CatfoodCompany)? What kind of impression does that

give you?
