Glossary of Terms, Abbreviations & Acronyms Used Within This Website

CSS: "Cascading Style Sheets" - CSS is a powerful formatting tool for the web site developers. They provide much greater control and consistency over layout and design than pure HTML(standard web page code) ever did.  Invented in 1997, CSS is the formatting tool of choice for advanced web designers.  CSS “External Stylesheets” allow virtually all formatting information to be stored in separate documents, thereby greatly reducing the amount of code that must be read by a browser when loading a web page.  This strategy also allows major or minor formatting changes to be made across an entire website just by changing a few lines of CSS code, something that was impossible with pure HTML.  MoteGraFX employs advanced CSS for maximum efficiency and scalability.

Flash™ - An animated multimedia technology and software format developed by Adobe® (formerly Macromedia®) which can be viewed through a web browser plug-in ("Flash player") or multimedia applications that access the player directly. Animation is choreographed using one or more sequential timelines in which actions and interactions are defined, and Flash files can include sound, video and still images.  MoteGraFX builds sophisticated Flash animations and even entire websites using this technology.

JavaScript - A scripting language developed by Netscape to enable web authors to design interactive sites. Although it shares many of the features and structures of the full Java language, it was developed independently. Javascript can interact with HTML source code, enabling web designers to spice up their sites with dynamic content.

W3C: "World Wide Web Consortium" - The international organization that develops global standards for website design and accessibility.

WCAG: "W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines" - Recommendations for making web content accessible to people with disabilities, and also for making content more easily available to non-disabled persons. The guidelines are primarily intended for all web content developers.
