Glossary
Lian has asked us to explain a few internet terms, I’ll be using this post to keep my own glossary on words we’re asked to research and explain.
Cookies: A cookie is information that’s sent from the web server to the web browser. The browser software is expected to save this information, such as passwords or logins, and send it back to the server when needed. Depending on the type of cookie the server will either save it for a long or short period of time.
Fixed layout: Fixed layout is when a website will not change depending on what size you resize the browser. It will look the same on any browser and computer.
Liquid layout: Liquid layout, the opposite of a fixed layout. The content of the website will change when the brower is resized, increased when viewed at a larger screen and decresed when viewed smaller.
