<html> topics 1 through 5

Assignment

 

Read the materials required for topics 1 through 5. Do not worry if you do not have the text books yet; you can use the material posted on the web.

Post a message to the ListServ by the evening before class with the introduction requested in topic 1.

Post a page that looks like the one below and uses html codes to achieve the same effects. Fill in the spaces between [brackets] with the information about your own page. As you do the page:

  • pay attention to the material between the <head> and </head> tags.
  • Begin your document with the <!DOCTYPE> declaration showing you use HTML 4.0 Transitional. W3C explains the DOCTYPE definitions at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/dtd.html .
  • Include <meta> tags for "keywords", "description" and "author".
  • Include some <!-- comment --> tags to explain your selection of tags.
  • In your list of "Links I intend to Use," create at least three links to other pages. Use a title attribute for the links. At least one link should open in a new browser window.

Your page will be evaluated as it appears on the browser and as it looks in "View>Page Source". Where possible, use structural tags rather than tags that only affect visual layout. Since the page may display differently, depending on what browser preferences are set, the page will be evaluated primarily on the use of the correct html structural tags.
