[thelist] Elements of a Web page?

[Fred D Yocum]

Printed pages almost always certain fixed elements which are part the 
design of every printed page. All pages have a margin on each side of the 
page which separates the content from the edge. All pages have a content 
area. Many have page numbers, a footer or header which tells you the 
chapter/book title which inhabit the margins. 

What are the fixed elements in the Web page paradigm* ? Items which are 
part of every Web page, because they are part of how we read Web pages. 
I've composed a list which contains all the elements that I can think of 
which might be part of the Web page paradigm. I've divided the list into 
four headings. Any corrections/additions to the list?
