Bookmark
A link to another area within the same web page. For example, many web pages have a button at the bottom of the document that, when clicked on by the reader, moves them quickly to the top of the same page.

CGI Script
A CGI script is used to interpret data sent from a form in your reader's browser. When you add a CorelWEB.SiteBuilder component that references a CGI script, it will allow a reader to give you feedback about your web site, answer a survey, or place an order, for example. Note, however, that before you add a component to your web site that requires a CGI script, the script must already be written.

Client
A computer that requests information or some service from the host computer or server. Examples of servers on the Internet or an intranet include the WWW, FTP, and Usenet sites.

Internet

Intranet
An organization-wide network of computers that provides similar services to those offered on the public Internet. For example, a company can create their own internal World Wide Web site, or intranet, to give employees around the world easy access to information about policies, departments, projects, and so forth. Intranets are Internets on a smaller scale and they typically reside behind a firewall.
