Text,graphics ,animations ,sound and hyperlinks assist to improve the user interactivity with the computer (internet) and the user.
We have seen all the other components above except hyperlinks.
What are these hyperlinks? As their name specifies, hyperlinks are used to link between the different web pages on a web site.These hyperlinks provide easy navigation of your web pages. Not all the information and data can be fit in a single page, Hence you need to create separate subsections called web pages.Hyperlink connects the navigations of these pages in the website.
All these components together make the web browser.
These web pages are designed using a scripting language or simple HTML tags.The web browsers format the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) information for display.
Some common browsers are Intenet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Firefox, Mozilla, etc.
Web browsers communicate with the webservers using the signal called Hyper Text Transfer Protocol to fetch the web pages when a request is submitted.
