Tabular Information

When tables are used to represent logical relationships among data -- text, numbers, images, etc., that information is called "tabular information" and the tables are called "data tables". The relationships expressed by a table may be rendered visually (usually on a two-dimensional grid), aurally (often preceding cells with header information), or in other formats.

Tag

A tag is the markup characters that designate the start or end of an element , but not the element content itself.

Tag Line

A tag line is a slogan, catch phrase or sentence that is closely associated with a site. A tagline may appear near, or next to, a logo.

Task Scenario

A task scenario is a representation of actual work that a user would likely perform using a website. You use task scenarios to tell the participants of a usability test what you want them to do.

Template

A template is a page that serves as a pattern for others like itself. Dreamweaver templates take the concept of the template further, adding a measure of power and ease: The pages from the template can be updated automatically, all at once, just by updating the template itself. Therefore, a Dreamweaver template is an HTML page but a special type of HTML page. Special markup inserted by Dreamweaver makes it possible for the template and its child pages (the HTML pages made from the parent template) to be connected in such a way that an update to the template updates all child pages.

Text Equivalent

This term is used to describe the technique of providing a text alternative that will be the same in both content and function as a non-text object on a web page, such as an image map.

Text Only Browser

A browser that does not show images. It does not have images turned off; rather it just doesn't display them. A good example of this type of browser is Lynx.
