homework

I have tried to find good documentation of browsers using google but failed to get what I am looking for. Can someone guide me to a location where I can actually see how a browser functions? The whole purpose of the exercise is to get answers for following queries and more like these:

How images, CSS and JS files are downloaded
How JS is executed
How an Ajax request is executed

and many more like these..... Thanks all,
