Learn SVG: In The Simple Way
The early browsers for the Web were predominantly aimed at retrieval of textual information. Tim
Berners-Lee's original browser for the NeXT computer did allow images to be viewed but they popped
up in a separate window and were not an integral part of the Web page. In January 1993, the Mosaic
browser was released by NCSA. The browser was simple to download and, by the Autumn of 1993,
was available for X workstations, PCs and the Mac. From 50 Web servers at the start of 1993, Web
traffic had risen to 1% of internet traffic by October and 2.5% by the end of the year. About a million
downloads of the Mosaic browser took place that year. In February of 1993, Mark Andreessen
proposed the IMG element as an extension to Mosaic's HTML to provide a way of adding images to
Web pages. In 1994, Dave Raggett developed an X-browser that allowed text to flow around images
and tables and from then on images were an accepted part of the Web page. Web pages became
glossier and the enormous growth of the Web started. Organisations could customise their
home pages with the company logo. Maps, albeit images, could be added to show how to reach the
organization. Its products could be displayed on the Web. Eventually, the Web would become a major
commercial outlet.
