9. The Web at a Glance: Web Addresses
- A URL indicates where the web page is stored on the Internet.
- URLs almost never use back slashes (\). All slashes are forward slashes (/).
- You need to type a URL exactly for your browser to locate the desired web page, otherwise you will access the wrong site or get an error message.
- Although URLs may contain spaces between characters, they usually do not.
- The location box or address field on your browser indicates the URL of the page you arrived at after clicking a link.
