You can use the Internet for various purposes, such as exchanging e-mail (text messages and computer files), viewing Web pages, and presenting your Web pages. This section explains how the Internet works with respect to Web pages. &stn_menu01_01=What is a Web browser? &stn_menu01_02=What is a URL? &stn_menu01_03=What is the role of the Internet service provider? &text_step01_1=What is a Web browser?Those of you who are going to create your own Web pages have probably connected to the Internet and have seen Web pages.
A Web browser is an application that enables you to view Web pages on the Internet. Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Netscape Navigator are the best known Web browsers.
&text_step01_2=What is URL?
To view a Web page, you must first enter its address---a text string that consists of alphanumeric letters, such as "http://www.ibm.com/." This Internet address, which is used by Web browsers to identify and locate Internet resources, is called the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
If you are using Internet Explorer, type a URL in the Address field; if you are using Netscape Navigator, type a URL in the Location field.
&text_step01_3=What is the role of the Internet service provider?
To get access to the Internet, individual users generally use a service provided by an Internet service provider---a business that supplies Internet connectivity services to individuals and organizations.
&text_step01_4=What is the role of the Internet service provider?Different providers offer different services and payment systems. To have your Web site on a provider's server, you must subscribe to a provider that offers Web hosting service. &text_step01_5=What is the role of the Internet service provider?
When you subscribe to a provider, you are assigned a user name and a password. Then you can get access to the Internet from your personal computer by making a phone call, or "dialing up," to one of the access points specified by the provider and giving the user name and the password assigned. The number you call is called the access point. As soon as you obtain a dial-up access, you can view Web pages on a Web browser, exchange e-mail, or upload Web pages to the server.
&step2intro=Characteristics of the two modesWhen selecting an editing mode, you should consider which mode is more suitable for the page you want to create. Although any page that you can create in one mode can be created in the other, you may find one mode much easier to use, depending on the design of that page. &stn_menu02_01=Characteristics of free layout mode &stn_menu02_02=Characteristics of standard mode &text_step02_1=Characteristics of free layout mode
The operations of free layout mode are similar to those of drawing tools. You can place text and images anywhere you want on a page; you can even place text over an image, or one image over another.
&text_step02_2=Characteristics of standard mode
The operations of standard mode are similar to those of word processor software. The text or image you insert is initially aligned to the left on a page; you can align it to the center or to the right afterwards.
To lay out text in a double column or to align images horizontally, you need to apply some tips. The operations of standard mode are also similar to those of earlier versions of Homepage Builder and most HTML editors.&step3intro=This section explains important basics that you should know before you create Web pages. Those who already know the basics as follows should go to the next section.
&stn_menu03_01=Assigning a top page file the file name specified by your service provider &stn_menu03_02=Using either uppercase or lowercase alphanumeric characters consistently for the names of the HTML files &stn_menu03_03=Do not change the name or location of a file thoughtlessly &text_step03_1=Assigning a top page file the file name specified by your service provider
Usually, an Internet service provider specifies the name that must be assigned to your top page. If you assign any other name, your site cannot be viewed on the Internet. Most service providers, though not all, specify index as the name, and either .htm or .html as the extension.
Before you start creating your Web pages, check with your provider to find out what file name and extension are required.
&text_step03_2=Assigning a top page file the file name specified by your service provider
By default, top pages and other HTML files created with Homepage Builder are assigned the extension .htm. (initial setting). If the provider tells you to use index.html, change the setting of Homepage Builder by the following procedure.
You cannot change the extension of a file that is already saved.
On the menu bar, click Tools --> Options.
&text_step03_3=Assigning a top page file the file name specified by your service provider
The Options dialog appears.
Click the File tab.
&text_step03_4=Assigning a top page file the file name specified by your service provider
Confirm that the Suffix for HTML files field is set to " htm." If necessary, change this to " html."
Click the OK button.
All pages you subsequently create will have the file extension that you have specified.
&text_step03_5=Using either uppercase or lowercase alphanumeric characters consistently for the names of the HTML files
Use either uppercase or lowercase alphanumeric characters consistently for the names of the HTML files and materials used in your Web pages, because some server operating systems distinguish the case of the letters. Do not use marks such as exclamation points or question marks.
&text_step03_6=Do not change the name or location of a file thoughtlessly
If the page you have created contains a link, then if you change the name or location of the file it links to by using a tool other than Homepage Builder (such as Windows Explorer), a visitor to your Web page cannot jump to that page. For this reason, do not change the name or location of a file thoughtlessly.
&step4intro=A template may consist of a single top page or of two or more pages. In this lesson, you will create a top page by using a single-page template. The file used for the page that you have created is saved on your PC at the end of this lesson. &stn_menu04_01=Creating a page by use of a template &stn_menu04_02=Saving a page you have created &text_step04_1=Creating a page by use of a templateOn the task menu, click Start --> New Page from Template. &text_step04_2=Creating a page by use of a template

You have uploaded your Web pages to your provider's server. &step11intro=Homepage Builder provides several sample tables for designing your pages. These tables, called layout tables,are created especially for designing Web pages. By using a layout table, you can easily design a page even in standard mode---for example, layingout an image on the left side and text on the right side. &sts_menu11_01=Inserting a layout table &sts_menu11_02=Examples of using layout tables &text_step11_1=Inserting a layout table
In the Site/Gallery View, click the Gallery tab and then click Materials for layout.
A list of layout tables is shown on the lower part of the Site/Gallery View. &text_step11_2=Inserting a layout table

For this example, a layout table named two lines color (4) is inserted. &text_step11_11=Examples of using layout tables
In the layout table, a title is inserted in the upper row, and text in the lower-left and lower-right columns.
You can use layout tables to design your Web pages in various ways. Enjoy creating attractive pages! &step12intro=Dynamic HTML enables you to animate a Web page by using only the HTML file; you do not need to prepare a separate animated GIF file or write a program in another file.
&sts_menu12_01=Standard mode &sts_menu12_02=Free layout mode &text_step12_1=Standard mode
To use dynamic HTML, you first create a box area called a layout frame on your page, and then insert text or images into it.
First, create a layout frame at any position you like on your page.
On the menu bar, click Insert -> Layout Frame. &text_step12_2=Standard mode
The Layout Frame dialog appears.
Click the Effect tab.

On the upper part of the Gallery tab, go to Image and then click Icons.
On the lower part of the Gallery tab, select a GIF file.
Click the Insert button at the bottom of the Gallery tab. &text_step12_5=Standard mode
The selected image is inserted into the layout frame. To preview the movement, click the Preview tab. &text_step12_6=Standard mode
The image should move as you specified. &text_step12_7=Free layout mode
In free layout mode, each element (such as text or images) inserted into a page is automatically enclosed by a layout frame. You can therefore use dynamic HTML easily on any element.
Select an element that you want to animate. &text_step12_8=Free layout mode
On the menu bar, click Edit -> Attributes. &text_step12_9=Free layout mode
The Image Enclosed by Layout Frame dialog appears. Click the Effect tab.
