Viewing a webpage

Since most webpages are mostly text, you can view them in any application that can read text documents. However, to view a webpage, as it is intended, one needs a type of software known as a user agent or better still a web browser, which is a piece of software specifically designed to view webpages. There are many different types of web browsers available with various capabilities and a wide range of supported platforms.

Creating a webpage

To create a webpage, one needs a general text editor or a special HTML editor like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Mozilla Composer and so on, and a FTP program to upload the page to the web server. One can use the web browser to upload the webpage file to the server, but is not recommended.

Wiki is a special way to create or modify and upload webpages without FTP-ing or upload file, only filling a text formulary in a webpage. Wikipedia is an example of wiki technology.

Saving a webpage

When saving a local copy of a webpage, the web browser usually allows a choice between:

• saving the rendered text without formatting or images, and without indicating which words are links or what their destination is

• saving the HTML-file without changes, without images (view the source and save that)

• saving the HTML-file, changing relative links to absolute ones, without images

• also saving the images and adjusting the references to them accordingly; either a separate folder is made (IE, Mozilla) or the same is used (Opera);

Internet Explorer can also save the page including images in just one MHT-file.

The common web browsers, like Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, also allow you to print the currently viewed webpage or optionally "print" to a file which can later be viewed or printed. This has an advantage in that some webpages are specially designed using Cascading Style Sheets, or a separately generated page, to show both the text and target destination of links contained within the webpage. Likewise any images are contained within the single file.

For a short page another possibility is saving a screenshot (only useful in special cases). This shows links, but not their destination.

Computer software (or simply software) refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of a computer for some purpose. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. Data software exists solely for its eventual use by other program software.

The term software was first used in this sense by John W. Tukey in 1957; colloquially, the term is often used to mean application software. In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer system, programs and data.

Computer software is so called in contrast to computer hardware, which is the physical substrate which stores and executes (or "runs") the software.

For other uses of the word software see Software (disambiguation).
