Website

A website, Web site or WWW site (often shortened to just site) is a collection of Web pages, that is, HTML/XHTML documents accessible generally via HTTP on the Internet; all publicly accessible websites in existence comprise the World Wide Web. The pages of a website will be accessed from a common root URL, the homepage, and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy, although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure and how the traffic flows between the different parts of the site.

Mousetrapping

Mousetrapping is a technique employed by some "aggressive" commercial websites, especially ones that are pornographic in nature, that prevents the user from leaving the site, depending on web browser settings. Typically this form of trapping is employed by the use of Javascript code (or Dynamic HTML) that detects a user's attempt to either close the browser window or leave the website to view another website. These attempts may easily fail if the user disabled javascript on their web browser; however, disabling Javascript may also impact how well certain pages on the current site or other websites load. Tools such as pop-up blockers can help in preventing this annoyance but by no means will solve the problem entirely.
