Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Hyperlink
sometimes simply referred to as link, a component of a Web page that when clicked with the mouse, takes the user to another Web page. A hyperlink may be displayed as a common URL such as www.kokobono.com, it may appear as a name such as WebBiz Central, or it may be contained in a graphic image or photograph. When appearing as text, it is usually displayed in a color different than that of the main body of text. When the mouse cursor is directed over the link, the arrow usually changes to the hand icon.
