About the Exam
Using a text editor and a browser, you will be asked to build a very simple Web site consisting of two pages: a dictionary page and a feedback form. You will be required to use an HTML table to structure the form, and to use an external stylesheet to control the appearance of text. One page includes an image for which you must specify the correct file path by relative reference.
For specific information about what the exam requires, see the the exam instructions in Microsoft Word. Source text and detailed instructions are provided.
Resulting work must be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to a specified Web server.
The exam should take about an hour and a half. You will have two and a half hours to finish.
