The Webmaster's Lexicon: B

Background An attribute of the Body tag for specifying to a browser an image to be tiled behind all other document elements. This attribute's value is the URI of the graphic that will be tiled as the background of the page. The user will not see this background for non-compliant browsers, if image loading is turned off, or if the user has overridden the background images in their preferences.
Bandwidth The amount of data transferred over a set amount of time. As it pertains to the internet, the transfer of the data is measured in bytes with all of the bytes added together making up the bandwidth.
Base An HTML tag enclosed in the Head, for specifying a document's virtual URL. A record of the original URL of the document: this allows you to move the document to a new directory (or even a new site) and have relative URLs access the appropriate place with respect to the original URL. If the BASE element is absent the document viewer assumes the base URL to be the one it used to access the document.
Bgcolor An attribute of the Body tag for specifying color to show behind other document elements. This attribute allows the user to specify a solid background color. The color is specified using a hexadecimal color code.
Block elements Block level elements cause paragraph breaks. Common block level elements include H1 to H6 (headers), P (paragraphs), LI (list items), and HR (horizontal rules).
Body An HTML tag containing document elements to be displayed by a browser. Both start and end tags for BODY may be omitted. The key attributes are: BACKGROUND, BGCOLOR, TEXT, LINK, VLINK and ALINK. These can be used to set a repeating background image, plus background and foreground colors for normal text and hypertext links.
Border An attribute of the HTML table tag specifying presence and width of an enclosing frame. By default tables have no borders. The default units are screen pixels.
Browser A client program for accessing and rendering web documents in HTML. Graphical browsers can render images and many different text fonts; non-graphical browsers cannot.
Byte binary term A unit of storage that a computer treats as a single unit. 8 bits equal a byte, 1,024 bytes equal a kilobyte.
