1vs Personal Internet Engine is both a Web and offline browser and a search engine for the IBMPC. The Web browser has a site structure viewer, page property checker, and dead link finder. The offline browser has a fast, multithread download processor, an easy and useful interface, and the ability to switch the specified download. The search engine can search for words, images, links, and HTML objects. Research 1vs Personal Internet Engine
ActiveX is a technology developed by Microsoft for sharing information among different applications.
ActiveX is an outgrowth of two other Microsoft technologies: OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model). ActiveX supports features that enable it to take advantage of the Internet. For example, an
ActiveX control can be automatically downloaded and executed by a Web browser.
ActiveX is not a programming language, but rather a set of rules for how applications should share information. Programmers can develop
ActiveX controls in a variety of languages, including C , C++, Visual Basic, and Java. An ActiveX control is similar to a Java applet. Unlike Java applets, however, ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating system. This gives them more power than Java applets, but also the risk that the control may damage software on your machine. To control this risk, Microsoft developed a registration system so that browsers can identify and authenticate an ActiveX control before downloading it. Another difference between Java applets and ActiveX controls is that Java applets run on all platforms, whereas ActiveX controls are currently limited to Windows environments. Related to ActiveX is the scripting language VBScript that enables Web authors to embed interactive elements in HTML documents. Just as JavaScript is similar to Java, so VBScript is similar to Visual Basic. Currently, Microsoft's Web browser, Internet Explorer, supports Java, JavaScript, and ActiveX, whereas Netscape's Navigator browsers support only Java
and JavaScript. Research ActiveX
ArcItUp by BroadGun Software is a computer document management system providing fast, easy archival and retrieval of documents over networks, intranets and the internet. ArcItUp provides a simple to use interface. Simply print or email a document to archive it. As ArcItUp is web-based you simply search for or view a document via an Internet Browser. Because you can print to an archive you don't need to worry about the format or source of your document - if you can print it then you can archive it. Features include keyword and full-text indexing; document query, retrieval and viewing; customisable access control; batch submission; and support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols for document security.

A bespoke browser is a web browser which has been customised, often, for example to add functionality peculiar to a particular web site. For example a bespoke web browser may be a modified version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer with an added toolbar for quickly accessing pages at a specific web site. Bespoke browsers are popularly made freely available as a form of viral marketing by companies. Research Bespoke Browser
A browser, or more properly a web browser, is a computer program used to render and display HTML documents. Web browsers are typically graphical and based upon an early design known as Mosaic, invented by staff at the NCSA. Web browsers are also becoming available built into other devices, such as mobile phones. Research Browser
A browser sniffer is a script, usually a JavaScript, embedded in an HTML web page which attempts to determine the client web browser being used to access the page. A browser sniffer attempts to read the USER AGENT parameter passed by the clientbrowser, and may redirect the reader automatically to different web pages depending upon the perceived browser in use. Browser sniffers are used because of incompatibilities in the enhanced functionality offered by different web browsers, and the desire of web page designers to achieve a consistent look-and-feel to their web pages across different platforms.

In computer terms, cache-busting is preventing web browsers and proxy servers from serving content from their cache, so as to force the browser or proxy server to fetch a fresh copy of each web site file in response to each user request. Cache-busting is used by web site administrators to try and provide a more accurate count (hit-meter) of the number of the actual requests for files or web pages. Research Cache-Busting
Cascading style sheets (CSS) are an element of web page design first drafted in early 1996, to provide HTML documents published on the world wide web with a means of suggesting the appearance of the document in terms of typefaces, colours and general appearance. A style, in terms of a cascading style sheet style, is simply a rule which instructs a browser how to display a particular HTML tag, for example what colour to display text within <H1> </H1> tags. Styles can also suggest positioning for divisions of content, text and images. The World Wide Web Consortium, realising the scope of browsers and computerhardware available and that many manufacturers would be selective in their support for different styles, were keen to emphasise that styles should suggest, not dictate, the appearance of HTML documents when rendered, and to stress to web designers that unsupported styles would simply be ignored by a browser. The power of cascading style sheets to the designer lies in the premise that once a style rule has been decided upon, it only needs to be defined once, with many
pages loading the same cascading style sheetdefinition and applying the same, uniform rules to their HTMLtags, rather than needing to adjust the properties of every occurrence of the same HTML tag on multiple pages. Research Cascading Style Sheets
CGI (The Common GatewayInterface) is a specification that allows computer Web servers execute other programs and incorporate their output into the text, graphics, and audio sent to a client Web browser. The server and the CGI program work together to enhance and customise the World Wide Web's capabilities. By providing a standard interface, the CGI specification allows developers use a wide variety of programming tools, such as C and Perl. Research CGI
EditPlus (previously known as Edit++) is an Internet-ready, 32-bit text editor for the Windows operating system.
