registered user A user of a Web site whose name and password has been recorded within the Web site. In a FrontPage web, you can register users with a FrontPage Registration Form Handler.
Registration Form Handler A FrontPage form handler that allows users to automatically register themselves for access to a service implemented as a World Wide Web site. The Registration Form Handler adds the user to the service’s authentication database, then gathers optional information from the form and stores it in one of many supported formats.
relative URL The Internet address of a page or other World Wide Web resource relative to the Internet address of the current page. A relative URL gives the path from the current page to the destination page or resource. A relative URL can include a protocol. For example, the relative URL doc/sample.htm refers to the page sample.htm in the folder doc, below the current folder.
resample The changing of the pixel dimensions (and therefore file size) of an image. An image can be resampled down (its number of pixels is decreased) or resampled up (its number of pixels is increased). When you resample an image down, pixel information is deleted from the image. When you resample an image up, new pixel information is created based on the color values of the existing pixels. Resampling and image down and then resampling it up to the original resolution will cause the quality of the image to deteriorate. The FrontPage Editor includes a Resample command.
root web The FrontPage web that is provided by a Web server by default. To access the root web, you supply the URL of the server without specifying a page name or sub-web. FrontPage is installed with a default root web named <Root web>. All FrontPage sub-webs are contained by the root web. See also sub-web.
row In a table, a horizontal collection of cells.
RTF (Rich Text Format) A method of encoding text formatting and document structure using the ASCII character set. By convention, RTF files have an .rtf filename extension. You can open RTF files in the FrontPage Editor and have them converted to HTML.
