First Project

    (due Thursday, 7/14/10 5:00 p.m. CST)
    1. Create a student home page on the calclab web server, http://calclab.math.tamu.edu/.
      The home page must contain at least two frames with one frame containing navigational links to each of the projects (project1, project2, etc.) You can use the course home page as a model if you like, (view the source to see how to set up frames and framesets).

      Note: You can use alternative navigation, ie iframes or objects

      Project 1 must include links to:

    2. One or more pages which give examples of the basic HTML commands illustrating (see example)
      1. alignment (left, center, right)
      2. using color and image as backgrounds (body, table, ...)
      3. color (body, table, td, font, ...)
      4. font styles (family, size, superscripts, subscripts, etc.)
      5. form elements (text, textarea, button, etc.) (Look at the Technology Survey source for an example)
      6. header styles
      7. images (scaling, alignment, ...)
      8. links (href, target, ...)
      9. rules (color, width, thickness)
      10. tables (formatting, color, border styles, alignment, etc.)

    3. One or more pages which gives examples of style sheets ( example)
      1. <div> tags
      2. use of class, id (ignore "name" for now...)
      3. use of attributes (i.e. parameters)
      4. * absolute vs. relative positioning
      5. * visibility
    The last two items are somewhat browser dependent. Make sure your code works in Mozilla as well as IExplorer.
    Note: The above pages should be "pure" HTML, that is, not the result of an HTML authoring package such as Netscape Composer, DreamWeaver, FrontPage, etc. The purpose of this exercise is to make sure you understand the basic HTML syntax before you use an authoring tool.

    Do not simply reproduce the examples, and call them project 1!

    Although you may use other web pages as examples, resist the urge to cut and paste excessively ...

    Note: View->source for http://www.math.tamu.edu/~mpilant/math696/ , that is, the class homepage!
    N.B.: right mouse->view source give the frame source instead of the parent source...
