Assignment #10


This is an example of CSS. As you can see the code for CSS is this:
style type="text/css"(i can't put the arrow thingy because it won't show it) . CSS is very useful when you want two or more text to have the same properties. Instead of putting in font tags to change the font property you can just simply do this: b {color:#ff3300; font-size:16pt; font-family:comic sans ms}, this should give the text inside the bold tag the properties you want.
Like so..:



The word highlighted in green is what it should look like.

The same goes for the div tag I use. The div tag alone won't do anything, so you need to give it it's properties. Like the thing highlight in yellow.

-Sorry for the bad pictures...i tried fixing them but i just messed it up some more so I just use those ones.

Well...I just hope you guys get what I was trying to tell you about CSS...well that's all the things I know....Good Luck! =)

Iframes


Well, an Iframe is like putting a html page into another html page. So you can have your main website and in the corner you can have another website like Google, or anything you want.

If you look at the image. You see the website surrounded by a yellow border? Yeah, that's your Iframe. The rest of the page is your main page.

Some reasons why you would like to use an Iframe is so that you can show people other websites without them actually leaving yours.
People tend to also put polls or pictures in Iframes.

Disadvantages of using an Iframe is that you can't take off the scroll bar because, well, you wouldn't see the rest of the page. You can't shrink the page in the Iframe to fit the specific height and width you put. Also search engines can't detect what you put in the Iframe, so if you try searching what you have in an Iframe from Google, it wont find it.

Well hopefull you guys understand more about Iframes. That's about all I can tell you, so I'm going to peace out.

Checkout my blog as I have gone and posted a link to a very simple, yet quite fun game. I will attempt to post a link to a new web based game every weekend for your enjoyment.

Have a great weekend and happy blogging.

Assignment #8


Assignment #8 involves Iframes. Joseph will be sharing some notes on how where and why we use Iframes shortly.

Here is Assignment #8, and below is an example of what your assignment could look like. I have decided that while I will post the demo of the Iframe page that I constructed in class, I will not be leaving this code in the pickup folder. I want you guys to think for yourselves, and not rely on my code.

Have a great weekend!

Nested Tables

Nested table are tables that are placed inside another, bigger table. Here I will show you some examples:

BLUE = Table
GREEN = Nested Table













Our next assignment, Assignment Number #7, is about nested tables. So you should be prepared for it. The code is pretty simple once you get used to it. First you make a normal table, with the "table" tags. Then the next step is adding the rows and columns. You do that by using the "tr" and "td" tags. Then once your finished that step you see where you want to put in your nested table. Once you have found out where you want it, repeat the first step, which is putting the "table" tags, and put them into the column/row that you want it to be.

Answer key for first HTML test

Here are the answers for your first term test.

Part 1 - Written Portion. Remember that we will be having another quiz and/or test before we start our final project in December. I will be reusing at least 1 of the questions from this test on the new test/quiz



For the Production portion I have uploaded the html text into a google document. Click here to view the answer key. You can copy and paste it into PSPad if you'd like.

Assigments

A few students have asked that I publish your assignments online, so I've started to do this. I will be using google documents to publish your assignments online so that you can work on them at home. This will hopefully save you from printing the document out.

I still recommend that everyone purchase a USB memory stick. You can purchase a 1gb unit from Stingers for between $20 and $25, or go to staples or at similar store and buy one yourself. This is the most efficient way to transport files between home and school
