Your task for this problem set is to create a web page about yourself or anything that interests you and to format this page using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Don't worry if your page looks bland without CSS - the purpose of XHTML is to mark the contents, the purpose of CSS is to set the appearance.
You don't have to create an elaborate page or put a lot of information on it, but the text should be well written and grammatically correct, and images and appearance of the page must fit the contents. Your page must include all the features listed below. You may include other features, and it's a good learning experience.You may get some extra credit for extra features. However, don't include more than a couple of extra things: the extra credit is at most 5%.
The page appearance, as well as the neatness and organization of the HTML code, will be included in the grade (see the details below).
Your page should be in your public_html on csci110sp10. Call it
index.html
. You may create extra folders for images. You
don't need to submit anything for this assignment (just send me the link),
but don't
modify the page after the deadline. The time you changed or
uploaded the page last would be considered the submission time.
Make sure that the text on your page is coherent and syntactically and grammatically correct. Images should be related to the contents. Links should be easy to notice and it should be clear what they link to.
href
in a link and src
and alt
in
img
. You may use an attribute to set width of an image or
colspan
of a table cell.Create a CSS file to format your page and link it by adding an
appropriate link
to your XHTML file. The CSS file should
have at least the following:
<tr>, <td>
, or
<th>
).Your XHTML code should be easy to read (and easy for you to work with). Here are some things that I'll be looking for:
The width is adjusted so that the
image size matches that of a previous image
If your code starts looking too messy, clean it up.
It's hard to explain what a pleasant-looking page is, but use your sense of style. It may also be helpful to show a page to a few friends and see if they find is attractive.
You don't need to send me your files, simply upload the final version
to the server by the deadline and send me an e-mail
with the location of the files when finished.
Don't change anything in it after the deadline.
If you would like to experiment with HTML further,
simply make a copy of the HTML file with a different name and upload
it to the server.
I will send you your grade by e-mail.
If you have any questions, please come to my office hours or e-mail me.
