Temporary Internet Files is a folder on Microsoft Windows which serves as the browser cache for Internet Explorer to cache pages and other multimedia content, such as video and audio files, from websites visited by the user. This allows such websites to load more quickly the next time they are visited.
72-492: Each time a user visits a website using Microsoft Internet Explorer, files downloaded with each web page (including HTML and Javascript code) are saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder, creating a web cache of the web page on the local computer's hard disk drive , or other form of digital data storage. The next time the user visits the cached website, only changed content needs to be downloaded from
144-407: A declaration block . In CSS, selectors declare which part of the markup a style applies to by matching tags and attributes in the markup itself. Selectors may apply to the following: Classes and IDs are case-sensitive, start with letters, and can include alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. A class may apply to any number of instances of any element. An ID may only be applied to
216-510: A Document type declaration (informally, a "doctype"). In browsers, the doctype helps to define the rendering mode—particularly whether to use quirks mode . The original purpose of the doctype was to enable the parsing and validation of HTML documents by SGML tools based on the Document type definition (DTD). The DTD to which the DOCTYPE refers contains a machine-readable grammar specifying
288-424: A pseudo-element makes a selection that may consist of partial elements, such as :: first-line or :: first-letter . Note the distinction between the double-colon notation used for pseudo-elements and the single-colon notation used for pseudo-classes. Multiple simple selectors may be joined using combinators to specify elements by location, element type, id, class, or any combination thereof. The order of
360-446: A 0 to 255 scale (e.g. rgb ( 255 , 0 , 0 ) ), RGBA values that specify both color and alpha transparency (e.g. rgba ( 255 , 0 , 0 , 0 . 8 ) ), or HSL or HSLA values (e.g. hsl ( 0 100 % 50 %) , hsl ( 0 100 % 50 % / 0 . 8 ) ). Non-zero numeric values representing linear measures must include a length unit, which is either an alphabetic code or abbreviation, as in 200px or 50vw ; or
432-420: A balance between design intent and user accessibility. Multiple style sheets can be imported. Different styles can be applied depending on the output device being used; for example, the screen version can be quite different from the printed version, so authors can tailor the presentation appropriately for each medium. The style sheet with the highest priority controls the content display. Declarations not set in
504-424: A design without compromising the overall layout. Specificity refers to the relative weights of various rules. It determines which styles apply to an element when more than one rule could apply. Based on the specification, a simple selector (e.g. H1) has a specificity of 1, class selectors have a specificity of 1,0, and ID selectors have a specificity of 1,0,0. Because the specificity values do not carry over as in
576-399: A form of database. The Temporary Internet Files cache can be useful in certain situations. For example, if no Internet connection is available, previously cached websites are still available offline. Certain online media files (such as embedded Flash movies) are not easily accessed directly through Internet Explorer, but are automatically saved into the cache after viewing them. Depending on
648-543: A free CSS validation service for CSS documents. In addition to HTML, other markup languages support the use of CSS including XHTML , plain XML , SVG , and XUL . CSS is also used in the GTK widget toolkit . CSS has a simple syntax and uses a number of English keywords to specify the names of various style properties. A style sheet consists of a list of rules . Each rule or rule-set consists of one or more selectors , and
720-414: A heading element defined with red text would be written as: Using CSS, the same element can be coded using style properties instead of HTML presentational attributes: The advantages of this may not be immediately clear but the power of CSS becomes more apparent when the style properties are placed in an internal style element or, even better, an external CSS file. For example, suppose the document contains
792-466: A joint request for funding, but the project was not formally adopted by CERN. In his personal notes of 1990, Berners-Lee listed "some of the many areas in which hypertext is used"; an encyclopedia is the first entry. The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called "HTML Tags", first mentioned on the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991. It describes 18 elements comprising

#1732780816323864-451: A pair is the start tag , and the second is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags ). Another important component is the HTML document type declaration , which triggers standards mode rendering. The following is an example of the classic "Hello, World!" program : The text between < html > and </ html > describes the web page, and
936-409: A percentage sign, as in 80% . Some units – cm ( centimetre ); in ( inch ); mm ( millimetre ); pc ( pica ); and pt ( point ) – are absolute , which means that the rendered dimension does not depend upon the structure of the page; others – em ( em ); ex ( ex ) and px ( pixel ) – are relative , which means that factors such as the font size of a parent element can affect
1008-423: A programming language. Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for its appearance. HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML constructs, images and other objects such as interactive forms may be embedded into
1080-561: A single element. Pseudo-classes are used in CSS selectors to permit formatting based on information that is not contained in the document tree. One example of a widely used pseudo-class is : hover , which identifies content only when the user "points to" the visible element, usually by holding the mouse cursor over it. It is appended to a selector as in a : hover or # elementid : hover . A pseudo-class classifies document elements, such as : link or : visited , whereas
1152-619: A site or even across sites, promoting consistency and efficiency. For example, headings ( h1 elements), sub-headings ( h2 ), sub-sub-headings ( h3 ), etc., are defined structurally using HTML. In print and on the screen, choice of font , size , color and emphasis for these elements is presentational . Before CSS, document authors who wanted to assign such typographic characteristics to, say, all h2 headings had to repeat HTML presentational markup for each occurrence of that heading type. This made documents more complex, larger, and more error-prone and difficult to maintain. CSS allows
1224-425: A start tag) and do not use an end tag. Many tags, particularly the closing end tag for the very commonly used paragraph element < p > , are optional. An HTML browser or other agent can infer the closure for the end of an element from the context and the structural rules defined by the HTML standard. These rules are complex and not widely understood by most HTML authors. The general form of an HTML element
1296-444: A style sheet, allowing for shorter CSS. Inheritance in CSS is not the same as inheritance in class-based programming languages , where it is possible to define class B as "like class A, but with modifications". With CSS, it is possible to style an element with "class A, but with modifications". However, it is not possible to define a CSS class B like that, which could then be used to style multiple elements without having to repeat
1368-434: A summary of selector syntax indicating usage and the version of CSS that introduced it. A declaration block consists of a pair of braces ( {} ) enclosing a semicolon-separated list of declarations . Each declaration itself consists of a property , a colon ( : ), and a value . Optional white-space may be around the declaration block, declarations, colons, and semi-colons for readability. Properties are specified in
1440-596: A user can give input/s like: Comments: Comments can help in the understanding of the markup and do not display in the webpage. There are several types of markup elements used in HTML: Most of the attributes of an element are name–value pairs , separated by = and written within the start tag of an element after the element's name. The value may be enclosed in single or double quotes, although values consisting of certain characters can be left unquoted in HTML (but not XHTML). Leaving attribute values unquoted

CSS is designed to enable the separation of content and presentation , including layout , colors , and fonts . This separation can improve content accessibility , since the content can be written without concern for its presentation; provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics; enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying

For all other Trident -based applications, the cache is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files . Like on Windows XP,
1656-464: Is considered unsafe. In contrast with name-value pair attributes, there are some attributes that affect the element simply by their presence in the start tag of the element, like the ismap attribute for the img element. There are several common attributes that may appear in many elements : The abbreviation element, abbr , can be used to demonstrate some of these attributes: This example displays as HTML ; in most browsers, pointing
1728-456: Is for HTML5. If a declaration is not included, various browsers will revert to " quirks mode " for rendering. HTML documents imply a structure of nested HTML elements . These are indicated in the document by HTML tags , enclosed in angle brackets thus: < p > . In the simple, general case, the extent of an element is indicated by a pair of tags: a "start tag" < p > and "end tag" </ p > . The text content of

In 1980, physicist Tim Berners-Lee , a contractor at CERN , proposed and prototyped ENQUIRE , a system for CERN researchers to use and share documents. In 1989, Berners-Lee wrote a memo proposing an Internet -based hypertext system. Berners-Lee specified HTML and wrote the browser and server software in late 1990. That year, Berners-Lee and CERN data systems engineer Robert Cailliau collaborated on
1944-589: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) with the mid-1993 publication of the first proposal for an HTML specification, the "Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)" Internet Draft by Berners-Lee and Dan Connolly , which included an SGML Document type definition to define the syntax. The draft expired after six months, but was notable for its acknowledgment of the NCSA Mosaic browser's custom tag for embedding in-line images, reflecting
2016-434: The de facto web standard for some time. HTML markup consists of several key components, including those called tags (and their attributes ), character-based data types , character references and entity references . HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like < h1 > and </ h1 > , although some represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example < img > . The first tag in such
2088-532: The CSS standard. Each property has a set of possible values. Some properties can affect any type of element, and others apply only to particular groups of elements. Values may be keywords, such as "center" or "inherit", or numerical values, such as 200px (200 pixels), 50vw (50 percent of the viewport width) or 80% (80 percent of the parent element's width). Color values can be specified with keywords (e.g. " red "), hexadecimal values (e.g. # FF0000 , also abbreviated as # F00 ), RGB values on
2160-494: The DTD in order to properly parse the document and to perform validation. In modern browsers, a valid doctype activates standards mode as opposed to quirks mode . Cascading Style Sheets Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS ) is a style sheet language used for specifying the presentation and styling of a document written in a markup language such as HTML or XML (including XML dialects such as SVG , MathML or XHTML ). CSS

HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript , which affects the behavior and content of web pages. The inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), former maintainer of the HTML and current maintainer of the CSS standards, has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997. A form of HTML, known as HTML5 ,

2304-427: The HTML. CSS lets authors move much of that information to another file, the style sheet, resulting in considerably simpler HTML. And additionally, as more and more devices are able to access responsive web pages, different screen sizes and layouts begin to appear. Customizing a website for each device size is costly and increasingly difficult. The modular nature of CSS means that styles can be reused in different parts of
2376-456: The IETF's philosophy of basing standards on successful prototypes. Similarly, Dave Raggett 's competing Internet Draft, "HTML+ (Hypertext Markup Format)", from late 1993, suggested standardizing already-implemented features like tables and fill-out forms. After the HTML and HTML+ drafts expired in early 1994, the IETF created an HTML Working Group. In 1995, this working group completed "HTML 2.0",

Despite the name 'temporary', the cache of a website remains stored on the hard disk until the user manually clears the cache, the cache expires or if the cache is full. This is often regarded as a privacy issue, because anyone with access to the computer can view the cache. The contents of the folder are indexed using an index.dat file,

While the W3C standard was identical to the WHATWG in 2007 the standards have since progressively diverged due to different design decisions. The WHATWG "Living Standard" had been
2592-473: The attribute value itself. If document authors overlook the need to escape such characters, some browsers can be very forgiving and try to use context to guess their intent. The result is still invalid markup, which makes the document less accessible to other browsers and to other user agents that may try to parse the document for search and indexing purposes for example. Escaping also allows for characters that are not easily typed, or that are not available in
2664-574: The browser, and these characteristics can be altered or enhanced by the web page designer's additional use of CSS . Many of the text elements are mentioned in the 1988 ISO technical report TR 9537 Techniques for using SGML , which describes the features of early text formatting languages such as that used by the RUNOFF command developed in the early 1960s for the CTSS (Compatible Time-Sharing System) operating system. These formatting commands were derived from

However, the cache may be moved by changing a value in the registry. Occasionally an additional (hidden) cache named "Temporary Internet Files" may appear in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files or in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files . This location can only be deleted by manually accessing
2808-433: The characters < and & (when written as < and & , respectively) to be interpreted as character data, rather than markup. For example, a literal < normally indicates the start of a tag, and & normally indicates the start of a character entity reference or numeric character reference; writing it as & or & or & allows & to be included in
2880-441: The characters of the world's writing systems. HTML defines several data types for element content, such as script data and stylesheet data, and a plethora of types for attribute values, including IDs, names, URIs , numbers, units of length, languages, media descriptors, colors, character encodings, dates and times, and so on. All of these data types are specializations of character data. HTML documents are required to start with
2952-451: The commands used by typesetters to manually format documents. However, the SGML concept of generalized markup is based on elements (nested annotated ranges with attributes) rather than merely print effects, with separate structure and markup. HTML has been progressively moved in this direction with CSS. Berners-Lee considered HTML to be an application of SGML. It was formally defined as such by

3024-548: The content is accessed on a mobile device . The name cascading comes from the specified priority scheme to determine which declaration applies if more than one declaration of a property match a particular element. This cascading priority scheme is predictable. The CSS specifications are maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Internet media type ( MIME type ) text/css is registered for use with CSS by RFC 2318 (March 1998). The W3C operates
3096-539: The content of an element or in the value of an attribute. The double-quote character ( " ), when not used to quote an attribute value, must also be escaped as " or " or " when it appears within the attribute value itself. Equivalently, the single-quote character ( ' ), when not used to quote an attribute value, must also be escaped as ' or ' (or as ' in HTML5 or XHTML documents ) when it appears within
3168-664: The cursor at the abbreviation should display the title text "Hypertext Markup Language." Most elements take the language-related attribute dir to specify text direction, such as with "rtl" for right-to-left text in, for example, Arabic , Persian or Hebrew . As of version 4.0, HTML defines a set of 252 character entity references and a set of 1,114,050 numeric character references , both of which allow individual characters to be written via simple markup, rather than literally. A literal character and its markup counterpart are considered equivalent and are rendered identically. The ability to " escape " characters in this way allows for
3240-428: The decimal system, commas are used to separate the "digits" (a CSS rule having 11 elements and 11 classes would have a specificity of 11,11, not 121). Thus the selectors of the following rule result in the indicated specificity: Consider this HTML fragment: In the above example, the declaration in the style attribute overrides the one in the <style> element because it has a higher specificity, and thus,
3312-627: The designers, or may remove all added styles, and view the site using the browser's default styling, or may override just the red italic heading style without altering other attributes. Browser extensions like Stylish and Stylus have been created to facilitate the management of such user style sheets. In the case of large projects, cascading can be used to determine which style has a higher priority when developers do integrate third-party styles that have conflicting priorities, and to further resolve those conflicts. Additionally, cascading can help create themed designs, which help designers fine-tune aspects of
3384-589: The document's character encoding , to be represented within the element and attribute content. For example, the acute-accented e ( é ), a character typically found only on Western European and South American keyboards, can be written in any HTML document as the entity reference é or as the numeric references é or é , using characters that are available on all keyboards and are supported in all character encodings. Unicode character encodings such as UTF-8 are compatible with all modern browsers and allow direct access to almost all
3456-445: The element, if any, is placed between these tags. Tags may also enclose further tag markup between the start and end, including a mixture of tags and text. This indicates further (nested) elements, as children of the parent element. The start tag may also include the element's attributes within the tag. These indicate other information, such as identifiers for sections within the document, identifiers used to bind style information to
3528-439: The first HTML specification intended to be treated as a standard against which future implementations should be based. Further development under the auspices of the IETF was stalled by competing interests. Since 1996, the HTML specifications have been maintained, with input from commercial software vendors, by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). In 2000, HTML became an international standard ( ISO / IEC 15445:2000). HTML 4.01

One of the goals of CSS is to allow users greater control over presentation . Someone who finds red italic headings difficult to read may apply a different style sheet. Depending on the browser and the website, a user may choose from various style sheets provided by
3816-483: The initial, relatively simple design of HTML. Except for the hyperlink tag, these were strongly influenced by SGMLguid , an in-house Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)-based documentation format at CERN. Eleven of these elements still exist in HTML 4. HTML is a markup language that web browsers use to interpret and compose text, images, and other material into visible or audible web pages. Default characteristics for every item of HTML markup are defined in
3888-402: The inline < img > tag. The name of an HTML element is the name used in the tags. The end tag's name is preceded by a slash character, / , and that in empty elements the end tag is neither required nor allowed. If attributes are not mentioned, default values are used in each case. Header of the HTML document: < head > ... </ head > . The title is included in

HTML Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser . It defines the content and structure of web content . It is often assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript,

Given the following style sheet: Suppose there is a p element with an emphasizing element ( <em> ) inside: If no color is assigned to the em element, the emphasized word "illustrate" inherits the color of the parent element, p. The style sheet p has the color pink, hence, the em element is likewise pink: This is to illustrate inheritance The whitespace between properties and selectors
4176-1096: The paragraph appears green: To demonstrate specificity Inheritance is a key feature in CSS; it relies on the ancestor-descendant relationship to operate. Inheritance is the mechanism by which properties are applied not only to a specified element but also to its descendants. Inheritance relies on the document tree, which is the hierarchy of XHTML elements in a page based on nesting. Descendant elements may inherit CSS property values from any ancestor element enclosing them. In general, descendant elements inherit text-related properties, but their box-related properties are not inherited. Properties that can be inherited are color, font, letter spacing, line-height, list-style, text-align, text-indent, text-transform, visibility, white-space, and word-spacing. Properties that cannot be inherited are background, border, display, float and clear, height, and width, margin, min- and max-height and -width, outline, overflow, padding, position, text-decoration, vertical-align, and z-index. Inheritance can be used to avoid declaring certain properties over and over again in
4248-434: The permitted and prohibited content for a document conforming to such a DTD. Browsers, on the other hand, do not implement HTML as an application of SGML and as consequence do not read the DTD. HTML5 does not define a DTD; therefore, in HTML5 the doctype declaration is simpler and shorter: An example of an HTML 4 doctype This declaration references the DTD for the "strict" version of HTML 4.01. SGML-based validators read

Separation of formatting and content also makes it feasible to present the same markup page in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (via speech-based browser or screen reader ), and on Braille-based tactile devices. CSS also has rules for alternate formatting if

#17327808163234464-542: The rendered measurement. These eight units were a feature of CSS 1 and retained in all subsequent revisions. The proposed CSS Values and Units Module Level 3 will, if adopted as a W3C Recommendation, provide seven further length units: ch ; Q ; rem ; vh ; vmax ; vmin ; and vw . Before CSS, nearly all presentational attributes of HTML documents were contained within the HTML markup. All font colors, background styles, element alignments, borders, and sizes had to be explicitly described, often repeatedly, within
4536-538: The rendered page. HTML provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links , quotes, and other items. HTML elements are delineated by tags , written using angle brackets . Tags such as < img > and < input > directly introduce content into the page. Other tags such as < p > and </ p > surround and provide information about document text and may include sub-element tags. Browsers do not display
4608-463: The selectors is important. For example, div . myClass { color : red ;} applies to all elements of class myClass that are inside div elements, whereas . myClass div { color : red ;} applies to all div elements that are inside elements of class myClass. This is not to be confused with concatenated identifiers such as div . myClass { color : red ;} which applies to div elements of class myClass. The following table provides
4680-471: The semantic structure of the page, whereas < p > sections the page into paragraphs . The element < br /> is an empty element in that, although it may have attributes, it can take no content and it may not have an end tag. This is a link in HTML. To create a link the < a > tag is used. The href attribute holds the URL address of the link. There are many possible ways
4752-431: The separation of presentation from structure. CSS can define color, font, text alignment, size, borders, spacing, layout and many other typographic characteristics, and can do so independently for on-screen and printed views. CSS also defines non-visual styles, such as reading speed and emphasis for aural text readers. The W3C has now deprecated the use of all presentational HTML markup. For example, under pre-CSS HTML,
4824-499: The style element: All h1 elements in the document will then automatically become red without requiring any explicit code. If the author later wanted to make h1 elements blue instead, this could be done by changing the style element to: rather than by laboriously going through the document and changing the color for each individual h1 element. The styles can also be placed in an external CSS file, as described below, and loaded using syntax similar to: This further decouples

Its multi-faceted approach, including considerations for selector specificity, rule order, and media types, ensures that websites are visually coherent and adaptive across different devices and user needs, striking
4968-639: The styling from the HTML document and makes it possible to restyle multiple documents by simply editing a shared external CSS file. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, offers a flexible way to style web content, with styles originating from browser defaults, user preferences, or web designers. These styles can be applied inline, within an HTML document, or through external .css files for broader consistency. Not only does this simplify web development by promoting reusability and maintainability, it also improves site performance because styles can be offloaded into dedicated .css files that browsers can cache. Additionally, even if
