or networks. Some hackers are harmless and just do it for a challenge,
but others are just plain crooked, sometime known as 'crackers'. |

Hit Strictly speaking, the term 'hit' specifically refers to
the number of files that you download when you visit a website. A web
page with a picture on it would count as two hits ? one for the page
itself and another for the picture. However, some people use the word
'hits' less accurately to refer to the number of people that visit a
particular website each month ? for example, 2000 hits per month. |

HTML Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML) is the computer
programming language used to create web pages. It allows pictures and
text to be combined to create web documents that can be viewed by
browsers. Its most important feature, though, is ?hypertext? ? the
ability to create links that take you from one page to another.
