Erik is available Mon at 2, Tues 5:30-7:30 and Thurs 2-4. I am available Mon at 10 and Tues at 2 and probably some other
times when Erik is there. We are going to postpone continuing with CSS to let you play with what we learned and also because it seemed like a good idea to start JavaScript since we are doing it in CIS120 and a double dose might be helpful for those who are taking both courses. To get to the JavaScript examples in the left menu click on Javascript samples under HTML5. We will look at the examples under Beginning JavaScript embedded in HTML5. Check back to see how far we got. Hopefully at the end of class, I can fit these CSS examples in so that people can think about using columns in their web project. This week we are going to look at a little more CSS including how to set up columns - a fairly basic approach. Two columns Two columns (another) Three columns Three columns (with header) Three columns (header and footer) Center one column page Center two column page position1.html position2.html I want you to look at the pages entitled position1.html, position2.html, Center one column page and center two column page for next week.

In looking at HTML, we will focus on HTML5 but spend time on XHTML as well. We will start to add CSS3 features to our CSS and then we will look at adding the power of JavaScript (including DOM)to our web pages. Just to be sure you are comfortable with the various ways of searching the web, I would like you to look at the information at this site. Searching effectively Search ideas Search Engine Watch Beginners Guide to SEO Please browse my website and become familiar with what is there. Since we will be looking at both HTML5 and XHTML, I am giving you a basic example of of both styles: Code for a basic example of HTML5 Note that a lot of pages are now including the language in the html tag. So they would write <html lang="en"> Code for a basic example of XHTML I want you to look at HTML5 sample code and then HTML5 - intro and XHTML sample code and then XHTML - intro. You can also look at getting started under XHTML. There are presentations to accompany XHTML. Because I do the Smartboard, I have stopped doing the presentations and focused on the Smartboard explanations. We will also look at validation in both HTML5 and XHTML. The validator is located at W3. If you validate by File Upload and browse to find your file and then click on check, the validator will give you feedback.
