I will be in my office off and on Thursday late morning until midafternoon (I have
one meeting scheduled in case anyone wants or needs help. Read the notes on frames from left/right frames through examples with resizing and scrolling. Be sure you are supplementing your information through one or more web tutorials or a resource book on HTML. Look at the source code for the first few pages on my site to see how I used frames to structure a page. Look at the source code for the CIS44 page to see how I use tables to structure a page. Look at the presentation titled: Presentation covering frames. When you want to see the source code for a frame, position yourself in the frame and press the right mouse key. The traditional way of seeing frames through the menu will show you the source for the setup of the frames. Next week I have reserved K101 for Thursday at 2:00 (I may be available a little earlier) for a question and answer HELP session. We have now covered much of basic HTML and are ready for the first project so a HELP session seemed appropriate. I will be available until at least 4:00, probably later. I will be more specific next week. |

back to my office (K-112), but you can come and get me! This is not a lecture, it
is an informal question/answer and work session. Please view the presentation and the two examples of mapping. You need to find a host for your site. You should start researching this. If your provider does not give you room for a site, you need to look at free sites such as Tripod and Geocities. You also need to look at the ways you are going to load or FTP your pages to the site. The free sites usually provide their own methodology. Find out about your provider. I use CuteFTP which has worked very well for me and is available as a free trial. Start reading about design issues. Your logbook entries for this week and next week should be on design issues. Read the following: Read these notes on some things to consider when evaluating sites |
