At the end of this topic, students
should be able to:
- Identify the components of Web
address

Web Address
• A Web page has a unique address called a uniform
Resource Locator (URL) or Web address

http://www.kmpk.matrik.edu.my as its Web address. A
Web browser retrieves a Web page using its Web
address.
• A Web address consists of a protocol, host name,
domain name, path and web page name or file name.
Web page addresses begin with http:// or https://.

3.2.2.3 Web Page Navigation
At the end of this topic, students
should be able to:
- Identify different ways of
navigation
1
• The home page usually contains links to other
documents, Web pages, or Web sites.
• A link, short for hyperlink, is a built-in connection
to another related Web page or part of a Web
page.
• Most Web pages contain hypertext or
hypermedia links.
2
Navigating Web Pages
• Hypertext refers to links in text-based documents.
• Hypermedia combines text-based links with graphic,
audio, and video links.
• Links allow you to obtain information in a nonlinear
way. That is, instead of accessing topics in a specified
order, you move directly to a topic of interest.
• Branching from one related topic to another in a
nonlinear fashion is what makes links so powerful.
•Surfing the web - The activity of using links to explore
the web

whose content varies depending on the type of information
you are seeking.

Subject Directory (Directory search)
• A subject directory provides categorized lists of links
arranged by subject.
