Frames Karma: So here's what I get for taking out a tough day on the poor frames... I may have to use them to solve a design problem today. Sigh. Live and learn. I've posted the frames and form pages to IntroShare on Crow.
Here are lists of the frame and form tags and attributes.
6.17.02
The syllabus has changed! New exam date is Monday, July 22.
Don't forget that you can make links out of images without using an image map... check out Niederst, p. 129. 6.04.02
Absolute and Relative links
Niederst has a great discussion of absolute and relative links on pp. 131-138. Last night in lab,
I asked you to make two directories, called images and exercises, in your lastname directory. You will use these for future exercises, and
can practice relative linking within your lastname directory using these secondary directories, if you choose. For exercise 1, on the other hand,
I have asked you to make a relative link to another student's index page--meaning you need to make a link that goes from your index page, up out of your
directory, and then down into that other student's directory, to their index page. Remember, your index page should not be stored in exercises,
only in your lastname directory so that others may find it.
If you have any questions, you can e-mail me at fran@wildewords.com Creating Directories on Crow using Fetch or FTP_le (and FTP in general) To access the FTP site: the FTP address is crow.ubalt.edu, your username is your last name, and your password is those four digits you gave me.
Don't forget that you must be in your own directory (the one with your last name) for the FTP to work. If you see a list of other students directories, as well as your own, you are NOT in your own directory.
As some of us discovered last night, creating directories in Fetch requires you to log in to your account on Crow, then select "directory" from the file menu at the top of your computer screen. Select "create a new directory" and you will be offered a window where you can type your new directory name. Click OK and watch it appear on your ftp window on Crow. Creating directories using FTP_le is as simple as uploading the directory file. Or, you can click "MkDir" to make a new remote directory.

Expectations:
You will be learning how to create web pages using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. All pages will be created "by hand" -- that is, using
a text editor to hand code HTML. In order to become conversant with HTML, you must code frequently--at least 3 hours a week--and nothing pays off like practice. Do not use a WYSIWYG editor or steal code to complete your assignments.
This will not help you on the regular in-class quizzes, or, for that matter, as a real-life web developer.
And it will earn you a zero on your project.
Assignments are due at the start of class. All assignments and information for this class will be posted here. If you must miss a class, check the site and check with your classmates. Not knowing what the assignment was or when it was due won't work. Quizzes will be given each Wednesday, except for the first class. They will cover material from class and from the reading. If you do not understand the material from class or from the reading, contact your classmates and/or me. I'm happy to meet with you after class and answer e-mail ASAP. If a question is particularly relevant to the group, I'll post it on the FAQs page. Part of your homework each week will be to maintain and extend a list of links (3 links per week) to other sites that you find particularly exciting and interesting. Because this is a graduate course in the School for Publication Design, see if you can include at least one example each week of a publication (online fiction, poetry, design, art) that uses the web in an interesting way. We will visit a sampling of these sites during class. Grading Breakdown: Quizzes = 20% Class Participation = 10% Homework = 35% Final Exam = 35% You must pass the final exam in order to take the more advanced hypermedia courses offered at UB. |
