Learning to write a web page

More buttons, for example

Buttons can just be pictures which, through a hyperlink, send you to somewhere else in hyperspace. But, however fancy your buttons are (e.g. ), for buttons which do other clever things, especially things controlled by the web user rather than the web page writer, you will need scripts. They are languages in themselves, which are too much to learn about in this course. A small example of what scripts can do, is the button in one of the first steps of the course, where the term 'browser' was explained.

If you want to use information from your reader in a script, you will have to use forms to get the information from your reader, and to get the results of your scripts back to your reader.
