Jack McKalling Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 That sign is needed to determine what should be the protocol (eg. http) and what should be the domain, path and file. http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asphttp - the used protocol, this protocol is used for default browsing:// - separatorwww - server name or in this case just the world wide web. - separatorw3schools - domain name. - separatorcom - domain extension, eg: com, nl, net, org, du, co.uk, tk/js - path to the document at the server's hard drive/ - separatordefault.asp - file you requested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Of course, but I think Dan the Prof was just using http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp as an example, and split it up, explaining each part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
