iAliasing
In graphic design, aliasing occurs when a computer
monitor, printer, or graphics file does not have a high enough resolution
to represent a graphic image or text. An aliased image is often said
to have the "jaggies."
Alignment
The positioning of a body of text. Text can be positioned
to the left, right, or "center" of a page. For the best,
consistent alignment, web site designers use tables and Cascading
Style Sheets.
ALT-attribute
Part of the image source tag in HTML. A good web
designer will always include text in all of your image sources for
two reasons: (1) if any of your visitors choose not to view graphic
images on your web pages, the alternative text will be shown; and
(2) if your visitors use Internet Explorer as their browser and
they leave the mouse over any graphic image, they will view the text
in your ALT-attribute.
Animated GIF
A GIF graphic
file, which consists of two or more images shown in a timed sequence
to give the effect of motion.
Animation
Animation is the creating a timed sequence or series
of graphic images or frames together
to give the appearance of continuous movement.
Anti-Aliasing
Smoothing or blending the transition of pixels in
an image. Anti-aliasing the edges on a graphic image makes the edges
appear smooth, not jagged.
ASP (Active Server Page)
A dynamically generated web page, generally using
ActiveX scripting. When a browser or
a search engine spider requests an ASP page from a server, the server
generates the web page with HTML code and gives it to the browser
or spider. |
