Problem Set 1
Due: Friday, 5 September Monday, 8 September, beginning of class.
A local college has asked you to create an HTML document that allows potential students
to obtain information about the school. Create a web site that has 3 pages with the following
features:
- The main page must have images of your "campus" and some general information.
There must be an image map that contains links to the IC web page and your two
other web pages. The image map must be intuitive; i.e., someone looking at the page
for the first time must realize that this is an image map and where each part will
lead her.
- A second page must contain a list of courses (at least 5 courses) that students can
take. You must use lists to display these courses. Each course must have a short
description.
- A third page must contain student activities. You must have at least 3 activities,
each with an image and a paragraph containing information about that activity. Each activity
must contain a link to a real Ithaca College activity page. Use tables to format this page.
- Create some sort of header similar to the Ithaca College header (but not identical;
you must use different colors and wording). Each page must use this header.
- use the meta tag to identify a series of keywords that describe your
documents.
- link to the Ithaca College homepage and the class homepage on the main page.
- provide a navigation bar at either the top or bottom of every page. Use a table to
create this bar. The background of the entries must be colored and may be an image.
- Your page does not
have to be XHTML compliant for this assignment since
you must use CSS with XHTML to do formatting.
You must use either your icsun account or a www.ithaca.edu account to store this web page.
Accessing web pages on icsun.
Once you have ftp'd an html file to your icsun account you can access the file
using any browser. For example, if Toby Mcguire had a file named "links2.html"
on his icsun account, then the file would be in the directory 20500tm. The proper
URL would be
http://icsun.ithaca.edu:88/jbarr/20500/20500tm/links2.html Note that you must have
the machine name and port number (icsun.ithaca.edu:88) followed by the directory path
(/jbarr/20500) followed by your home directory name (ie,
20500tm in this example), followed by the file name.
You perform the following tasks to complete this assignment:
- Create a directory on your icsun account named "problemSet1" and store all of
your html files in this directory.
-
Hand in a hard copies of your html.
You must have your name, assignment number, and URL in a html comment
on the top of each page.
