Active Client Pages: DOM Roots of the Window Phase - What is a document? (Page 2 of 5 )
A document consist of all that is between the start HTML tag, <html> and the end HTML tag, </html>. In this series we also call this a page (web page).
So what is a window?
The question is, what is a browser window? A browser window normally has the title bar, the menu bar, address bar, a toolbar and the status bar. Most of the area of the window is taken up by the document.
What is a Master Page in the window phase to Chrys’s approach?
When you type a URL in the address bar of a window and then click Go, the page you receive is the master page. All the other windows or pages developed at the client will have to refer to this page.
When a new window is opened, is it maximized?
By default, the newly-opened window is not maximized.
When the window is newly opened, are the bars there?
The question is, when the window is newly opened, does it have the title bar, menu bar, address bar, link bar, tool bar, status bar, etc? By default, when the window is opened, several bars are present.
