Week 5, Lab 3: Building a Frames-Based Document Index (Exam Review)

This lab reviews several key concepts that will be tested on the final exam: basic document formatting, table layout, working with in-line graphics, doubly-anchored links (using arrival points), and simple frames construction.

The lab 5.3 folder within introShared on cow.ubalt.edu contains a text document called content.txt and an images subfolder containing five JPEG files. The JPEGs are:

adaLogo.jpg 223x123
dad.jpg 200x266
eve.jpg 180x278
fix.jpg 150x155
funWithKids.jpg 250x152

Format content.txt using appropriate markup. Constrain page width at 450 pixels. Save the reformatted page as content.htm.

Embed arrival anchors for each of the five projects described on this page.

Include the appropriate illustrations (JPEGs) for each project. You may use the HSPACE attribute for gutters. Captions are not required.

Create a page called toc.htm containing links to each arrival point (project description) in content.htm. Target your links for use within a frameset.


Create a frameset page called index.htm that displays toc.htm in the left frame and content.htm in the right. The left frame should be 150 pixels wide, the right frame 450 pixels.

Open index.htm and test. The links on the toc page should bring up the appropriate parts of content.htm.
