TASK 6:
Web Browsers, Surfing the Web: Students customize their web
browsers with the LAN proxy settings, bookmarks, search
toolbars and pop up blockers. Also, plug-ins like Macromedia
Flash and JRE for applets should be configured

AIM: To learn to surf the web

Software Requirement: Local Area Network to access the Internet
Hardware Requirement: Personal computer
THEORY:
• Web browser provides the means to the searching
and also helps to Download the web content.
• Web browsers support most of the famous Internet
Protocols like HTTP, FTP.

• Common file formats a browser accepts are HTML

• Well known browsers natively support a variety of other
formats in addition to HTML such as JPEG,PNG,GIF
image formats

Bookmark:

Silversmith Mosaic
Netscape Mozilla
Opera Lynx
Safari

Each web browser is built-in with the support of Internet Bookmarks

which serve as a named anchor – primarily to URLs. The primary
purpose of this book mark is to

easily catalog and access web pages that the web browser user has
visited or plans to visit, without having to navigate the web to get
there.

Pop-up Blockers:
Pop-ups are a form of online advertising on the WWW intended to
attract the attention of the users. These pop ups are hosted on the
web sites which are frequently visited by the netizens. These pop
xlix

window and there by displaying the advertisements.
Plug-ins:
A plug-in is a software component program that interacts with a
main application to provide a better integration of the media. The
basic difference between application programs and plug-ins is that
multimedia files are launched in a separate window where as in
plug-ins multimedia play in the browser window.
Few famous plug -ins are:
• Apple Quick Time
• Macromedia flash
• Microsoft Media Player
• Adobe Shockwave
• Sun Microsystems Java Applet

Search Engines & Netiquette: Students should know what
search engines are and how to use the search engines. Usage of
search engines like Google, Yahoo, ask.com and others should
be demonstrated by student.
AIM: To know what search engines are and how to use the
search engines. Software Requirement: Local Area
Network to access the Internet Hardware Requirement:
Personal computer
THEORY:
Search engine:

li
A search engine can be defined as a web site with tools which
help you to find information on the internet
Function of a search engine:
You can find anything from a schedule of White house tours to
instructions for removing stains from clothes.
Limitations:
Search engines visit web sites only several weeks. Search
engines cannot see information in other data bases later on.
On the internet a search engine is a coordinated set of programs
that includes: A spider (crawler or bot) that goes to every page or
representative pages on every web site that wants to be searchable
and reads it , using hypertext links on each page to discover and
read site‘s other pages.
Pros:
• You can select the search terms
• You can use the same search terms with multiple search
engines
• You can change search terms as much as you wish
• You will normally receive numerous links

Cons:

lii
 EX:
•
• Its fast

• There are so many different search engines it may be difficult to

choose
• You will normally receive too many links often making it difficult to
identify the most relevant sites.
• The vast majority of links may be only marginally relevant or
altogether irrelevant

• Alta Vista
• Ask Jeeves
• Google
• Lycos
Etc...

Meta Search Engines:

Meta search engines or ―metacrawlersǁ don‘t crawl the web
themselves. Instead they search the resources of multiple search
engines by sending a search to several search engines at once
aggregating the result.
Pros:
• You only need to use one search tool which is time- efficient

liii
 • You only need to learn how to use one search engine
reducing learning curve
• You benefit from the difference among several search tools
at once

Cons:
• Meta search services may not be able to leverage each
individual search engines full range of query tools resulting in
less refined searches

• You can not personally select the search engines queried by

Meta search services.

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP Functions

This document explains the functions of VLOOKUP and

HLOOKUP and how to use them in a spreadsheet. It can be
used in all versions of Microsoft Excel.

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are functions in Excel that allow

you to search a table of data and based on what the user has
supplied and give appropriate information from that table.

If you have a table of Student ID numbers, Student Names and

Grades, you can set up Excel so that if a Student ID number is
supplied by the user, it will look through the table and output the
student's name and grade.

A B C
VLOOKUP

lxxxi
ii
 Student ID Number 1234 User supplied

Student Name John Smith From table

Semester Grade A/B From table

VLOOKUP allows you to search a table that is set up vertically.

That is, all of the data is set up in columns and each column is
responsible for one kind of data. In the Student Record example,
there would be a separate column of data for Student Names, one for
Student ID numbers, etc.

HLOOKUP is the exact same function, but looks up

data that has been formatted by rows instead of
columns.
Student ID 1234 1689 2495 3697 9228
Number Student John Jane Jones Michelle Jack Rod
Name Semester Smith Schreiner Lepak Arneson
Grade A/B B/C B A B

The format of the VLOOKUP function is:

VLOOKUP (lookup _value, table _array, col _index _num, range _lookup)
The lookup _value is the user input. This is the value that
the function uses to search on. If you are searching a table by
the Student ID number, then the lookup _value is the cell
that contains the inputted Student ID number being looked
up.

The table _array is the area of cells in which the table is

located. This includes not only the column being searched on,
but the data columns for which you are going to get the values
that you need. Back to the example, the table_array would not
only include the Student ID number column, but the columns
for the Student Names and Grades as well.

The col _index _num is the column of data that contains the
answer that you want. If your table is set up as: column 1 - Student
ID Number, column 2 - Student Names, column 3 - Grades and

lxxxi
v
you inputted a Student ID Number and you want to retrieve the
grade that was received for that person, the col _index
_num would be 3. 3 is the column number of the data column for
the ANSWER that you are trying to look up.

Range _lookup is a TRUE or FALSE value. When set to

TRUE, the lookup function gives the closest match to the
lookup _value without going over the lookup _value. When
set to FALSE, an exact match must be found to the lookup
_value or the function will return #N/A. Note, this requires
that the column containing the lookup _value be formatted in
ascending order.

To use the Function Wizard to insert a VLOOKUP function:

• Select the cell that will contain the answer to the VLOOKUP and
select
Insert ->
Function...
• Under the Function Category, choose either All or Lookup &
Reference.

• hop Lab Manual

• Under the Function Name, select VLOOKUP, and hit OK.

lxxx
v
 • The Function Wizard for VLOOKUP will then display.
The 4 values talked about above (lookup _value, table
_array, col _index _num,

range_lookup) are

required by the function. Each line for

each value

required. If you put the cursor into the first line for lookup
_value,
down below it explains what the lookup _value is for your
reference.
Similar information is displayed when the cursor is in any
of the other fields.

• Enter in the lookup _value either by typing in the number

for the cell, or, by selecting the cell on the worksheet.
• Enter in the table _array by typing in the numbers for
the cells, or, by selecting the group of cells on the
worksheet.
• Enter in the number for column which contains the data
that you wish to obtain in the col _index _num area.

lxxx
vi
 • Enter into the range _lookup field the value TRUE if the
function should accept the closest value to your lookup
_value without going over or FALSE if an exact match is
required.
• Hit OK when ready.
