Web and XML Glossary

A GUI is the usual way to access a computer. The most common GUIs are the Windows GUI, and the MacOS GUI. GUIs usually employ a number of predefined design elements (such as pull-down menus and buttons) which are used to implement specific functions. The most common Browsers (Navigator and IE) also implement GUIs, in this case for accessing the WWW. Examples for non-GUI Browsers are text-based browsers such as Lynx, or entirely non-visual browsers (for example using speech synthesis techniques).
