A web page or webpage is a resource of information that is suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through a web browser. This information is usually in HTML or XHTML format, and may provide navigation to other web pages via hypertext links.

Web pages may be retrieved from a local computer or from a remote web server. The web server may restrict access only to a private network, e.g. a corporate intranet, or it may publish pages on the World Wide Web. Web pages are requested and served from web servers using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Web pages may consist of files of static text stored within the web server's file system (static web pages), or the web server may construct the (X)HTML for each web page when it is requested by a browser (dynamic web pages). Client-side scripting can make web pages more responsive to user input once in the client browser.

A Web document. A Web page is a text file coded in HTML, which may also contain JavaScript code or other commands.

Web pages are what make up the World Wide Web. These documents are written in HTML (hypertext markup language) and are translated by your Web browser. Web pages can either be static or dynamic. Static pages show the same content each time they are viewed. Dynamic pages have content that can change each time they are accessed. These pages are typically written in scripting languages such as PHP, Perl, ASP, or JSP. The scripts in the pages run functions on the server that return things like the date and time, and database information. All the information is returned as HTML code, so when the page gets to your browser, all the browser has to do is translate the HTML.

Please note that a Web page is not the same thing as a Web site. A Web site is a collection of pages. A Web page is an individual HTML document.

well,A web page is a document created with HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that is part of a group of hypertext documents or resources available on the World Wide Web. Collectively, these documents and resources form what is known as a web site.

A web page, as an information set, can contain numerous types of information, which is able to be seen, heard or interact by the end user:

Perceived (rendered) information:
Textual information: with diverse render variations.
Non-textual information:
Static images on raster graphics, typically GIF, JPEG or PNG; or vector formats as SVG or Flash.
Animated images typically Animated GIF and SVG, but also may be Flash, Shockwave, or Java applet.
Audio, typically MIDI or WAV formats or Java applets.
Video, WMV (Windows), RM (Real Media), FLV (Flash Video), MPG, MOV (Quicktime)
Interactive information: more complex, glued to interface; see dynamic web page.
For "on page" interaction:
Interactive text: see DHTML.
Interactive illustrations: ranging from "click to play" image to games, typically using script orchestration, Flash, Java applets, SVG, or Shockwave.
Buttons: forms providing alternative interface, typically for use with script orchestration and DHTML.
For "between pages" interaction:
Hyperlinks: standard "change page" reactivity.
Forms: providing more interaction with the server and server-side databases.
Internal (hidden) information:
Comments
Metadata with semantic meta-information, Charset information, Document Type Definition (DTD), etc.
Diagramation and style information: information about rendered items (like image size attributes) and visual specifications, as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Scripts, usually JavaScript, complement interactivity and functionality.
Note: on server-side the web page may also have "Processing Instruction Information Items".
The web page can also contain dynamically adapted information elements, dependent upon the rendering browser or end-user location (through the use of IP address tracking and/or "cookie" information).

A Web page is a document, typically written in (X)HTML, that is almost always accessible via HTTP, a protocol that transfers information from the Web server to display in the user's Web browser.

The element of web page are given below-
A web page, as an information set, can contain numerous types of information, which is able to be seen, heard or interact by the end user:

Perceived (rendered) information:

* Textual information: with diverse render variations.
* Non-textual information:
o Static images on raster graphics, typically GIF, JPEG or PNG; or vector formats as SVG or Flash.
o Animated images typically Animated GIF and SVG, but also may be Flash, Shockwave, or Java applet.
o Audio, typically MIDI or WAV formats or Java applets.
o Video, WMV (Windows), RM (Real Media), FLV (Flash Video), MPG, MOV (Quicktime)
* Interactive information: more complex, glued to interface; see dynamic web page.
o For "on page" interaction:
+ Interactive text: see DHTML.

+ Buttons: forms providing alternative interface, typically for use with script orchestration and DHTML.
o For "between pages" interaction:

Internal (hidden) information:

* Comments
* Metadata with semantic meta-information, Charset information, Document Type Definition (DTD), etc.
* Diagramation and style information: information about rendered items (like image size attributes) and visual specifications, as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
* Scripts, usually JavaScript, complement interactivity and functionality.

Note: on server-side the web page may also have "Processing Instruction Information Items".

The web page can also contain dynamically adapted information elements, dependent upon the rendering browser or end-user location (through the use of IP address tracking and/or "cookie" information).

From a more general/wide point of view, some information (grouped) elements, like a navigation bar, are uniform for all website pages, like a standard. These kind of "website standard information" are supplied by technologies like web template systems.
