Create
an html page that uses Javascript to display your name, e-mail address and
native language. Also display an
image. The image can be a picture of
yourself, your family, or something interesting from the Internet. If you were not born in New York City, you
might include a picture of your home city or country. Most countries and many cities have web sites with pictures and
local information.
You
are not limited to a single page or the information listed above. However, you must use Javascript on your
page and it must have your name and e-mail address. Information about both html and Javascript can be found in a
document on my web site called Javascript and HTML. You can download it from the Documents
folder on the web site. It is available
both as a Word document and in a pdf file.
The latter can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat. Copies of the first 10 pages will be available in class.
You
can create web pages using many different design programs. The one that is described in the document is
called 1 st Page 2000. It is
free for download from http://www.Evrsoft.com. Details about installing and using it can be
found in the document mentioned above.
You can also use Notepad, Kawa, or JCreator. They all save files in ascii, which is necessary for web
pages. For this assignment, you are not
to use other web design programs such as Microsoft Word, Frontpage,
DreamWeaver, of JBuilder. For this assignment,
you are to insert all the html tags yourself.
Hand
in a disk with your web page and image files on it along with a printout of the
html page. Make sure that your disk is
labeled with your name and that the html page includes your name in a comment
at the beginning as well as in the Javascript.
Comment tags in html begin with <! and end with >.
You
should do this assignment by yourself, but you may get help from anyone in your
group. You should not consult class
members in other groups, but you may e-mail me with any questions. Let me know if the document is not
sufficiently explanatory so that I can revise it. In addition, there should be tutors in room 201 at 161/163
William Street starting sometime after the first week of classes.
The
following is a sample html page using Javascript to display text and an
image.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head> <title>Javascript
example that displays text and an image.</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="Javascript">
<!—
document.write ("<h3>Alice Lee
- alee@pace.edu</h3>");
document.write ("<img
src='brook.jpg'>");
document.write ("<h3>A picture
of a brook in the mountains.</h3>");
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
The web page above will look like the following when displayed in
a browser.
