HTML Assignment 1
16 points possible
Preliminary Instructions
You will need to use a Windows Accessory program called Notepad to create these web page assignments. Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad. Notepad is a rudimentary text editing program.
Remember to use .htm as the file name extension for each file or you will not be able
to open the file in a web browser and view your web page.
After creating the file, you can view the web page you created in either Firefox web browser (Click on View, Web Developer, and Page Source.) or in Internet Explorer (Click on View and Source).
Be sure to download the template files/image files from the publishers web site to your own hard drive – See the web site on the inside back cover of the textbook.
Most frequent problem – not having an image file in the same folder as your .htm file.
2nd most frequent problem – not having a close tag, only an open tag.
3rd most frequent problem – If an html tag appears on the screen when you open it in your web browser, you have probably forgotten to put < or > or / in the tag.
Every web page can begin with the following sets of tags and you can just copy them from page to page and fill in the text. Note that most tags are created in sets with an open html tag and a close html tag, an open head tag and a close head tag.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Some image files and other partially-created files will be needed to complete the textbook exercises. Go to the back inside cover of your book for instructions of how to download the files from the Cengage Publishing Company. To access student data files, go to For more detailed instructions, go to . Store your data files on a USB drive or a hard drive.
As the instructions indicate, for Mac users, you’ll have to use a program to expand WinZip or PKZip archival files.
