The intent of web design is to create a web site a collection of electronic files residing on one or more web servers that presents content including interactive features or interfaces to the end user in the form of web pages once requested. Such elements as text, forms, and bit-mapped images GIFs, JPEGs, PNGs can be placed on the page using HTML, XHTML, or XML tags. Displaying more complex media (vector graphics, animations, videos, sounds) requires plug-ins such as Flash, QuickTime, Java run-time environment, etc. Plug-ins are also embedded into web pages by using HTML or XHTML tags.

Improvements in the various browsers' compliance with W3C standards prompted a widespread acceptance of XHTML and XML in conjunction with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to position and manipulate web page elements. The latest standards and proposals aim at leading to the various browsers' ability to deliver a wide variety of media and accessibility options to the client possibly without employing plug-ins.

Computers and Internet:

A router which has more than one ethernet socket (usually marked "LAN"), where your computers plug in has a built-in "hub" or "switch" function which allows all the devices plugged in to communicate between them.

Thus two computers plugged into the same router will be able to communicate with each other even if the Internet connection (which comes through the actual router and is also connected to the internal hub) is not plugged in or active.

This will allow "file sharing" between the two computers with Windows, and also will allow the computers to play LAN games.

you play a LAN game between 2 different computers if your router is not hooked up to the Internet this game does not require the Internet when playing between the two computers.
