Confusing words or terms for Newbies

Ok lets begin...

definitions of terms that are confusing:

I- 8 important words to know and understand

1) Url adress - (Uniform Resource Locator) Works like your adress. This tells the location of any file on the net. also reffered to as link, direct link or just address
examples:
a) for images - http://photos-693.friendster.com/e1/pho … 64561m.jpg
http://h1.ripway.com/styker17/remfinal3.gif
*take note on the last part of the adress...
url adress of images always end with
.jpg .bmp .gif and so on depeding on the format of the image

b) for sites - http://www.friendster.com
c) for extension files - http://h1.ripway.com/styker17/grace.txt
http://h1.ripway.com/styker17/grace.css

2) friendster User ID - (reffered also as ID or user ID) this are unique numbers that friendster members have. Here is how to get user ID http://friendstertalk.com/t3499-Tutorial-Find-Userid%21%21%21.html
This ID's can be custumized also.
examples:
my ID is: 32428693
my customized id is: styker17

3) External files and extension files are the same - external files are files uploaded to any file hosting site and this files are linked to your profile using linkers...

two most used external files...
a) JS file - (Java Script)
b) CSS file - (Cascading Style Sheets)

*difference of the two: JS contains codes for adding your own boxes, adding effects on boxes, and so many other...while css only handles the general style of your page such as the colors and alignments of the fonts and boxes.

4) Tracker - a js code that tracks your viewer and makes a list of your visitors. sometimes called WVM tracker (Whos Viewed Me tracker)

5) onload handler - a js code that handles js codes that should be initialized when your page loads

6) File hosting sites - are sites that host files for website uses or for just storing them. File hosting site provides
the link to your file so that your page or your site can access them anytime.

7) Linker - a linker establishes a connection between your page and your file hosting site. A linker contains the the link to your file (the link i'm talking about is the url address of your external file). A linker is pasted on your page so that your page will know where your external files are and so it can read and access them.

*note: linker are provided here at fs talk. Linker wont work if fs filtered it already. If the linker is filtered, visit fs talk and look for the new linker. If there is no linker, just wait for about a day or two and the geniuses here will make one :eh::thumbsup:

main bar and side bar - main bar is the left column of boxes on a default format of a profile while side bar is the right column.

II- other words you should know
(arranged alphabetically)

BTW - by the way

CBox - Chat box

encrypt - the process of transforming information to make it unreadable. Encrypting is done so to avoid the code from being ripped.

footer - the lowest part of your default profile. (you can see the copy rights of friendster there)
