Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 520 Unit 3 Living Online Some schools, businesses, or companies use an intranet. An intranet is an internal network similar in function to the Internet. If an intranet is used, often the home page for the browser is set to the home page of the intranet. Other users may prefer to set the home page to a search engine or even to a blank screen. Scroll Bars. Usually a web page is too large to fit on the display. Scroll bars are provided for the user to see the extra content that does not fit on the display. Web designers often place the attention-grabbing content on the top of the display to encourage users to scroll to see the rest. Click and drag the scroll bar up and down or use the up and down arrow buttons to move the extra content into the display. The mouse wheel can also be used to scroll the page. Breadcrumbs. A common type of website navigation is breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs, or a breadcrumb trail, are hyperlinks back to each page the user has navigated to on the website. The breadcrumbs typically appear along the top of the website. A separator, usually a chevron (), is used between each breadcrumb. These elements are called breadcrumbs because they show a trail back to the home page of the website, just as Hansel and Gretel left breadcrumbs to find their way out of the forest in the fairytale of the same name.
