Look at the examples under XHTML and then under the category CSS and formatting and look at the third PowerPoint presentation. Be sure you note what validates and what does not validate as you experiment and try validating with strict and with transitional. You should read something about the difference between strict and transitional validating. Validating issues will continue to haunt us! Post a site about it on delicious! Note that I have not updated the PowerPoint to include the 4 lines of code at the top. I have updated most of the examples. I also comment on validation when I give you the list of examples.

| Week #1 Week of January 19th |
My schedule can be accessed through my home page. I will be setting up hours for
a lab where students can come with questions and for help. Look at the examples under XHTML - Getting started at: XHTML samples. Also look at the first PowerPoint that explains the examples. It is located at XHTML presentations. Note that these sites can be reached by clicking on XHTML sample code and Presentations (XHTML) under Site Resources on the left side of the CIS44 home page. Next you should look at the first 6 examples under XHTML intro. In addition you should start to look at the second PowerPoint that explains the introduction samples. You only need to go through the PowerPoint to see the explaination for the first 6 examples. You should familiarize yourself with the site so you can locate information. In the assignment I gave you two lines of code to put at the beginning of your XHTML code, a more complete version of this is explained below. These four lines of code which I usually cover a little later in the semester will help you get a clean validation: Code with first 4 lines of XHTML View the source and use the first four lines at the top of your XHTML for good validation. Remember, the fourth line includes html. Assignments to turn in: Although assignments are frequently posted at the beginning of the week, some of the assignments cannot be done until you have covered all the material in the posting. The search engine assignment is something to research on your own, I will only cover some information. Survey of past experience - must be completed by all students Notice that there is a class del.icio.us site. I want you to post the addresses of the articles you use for your blog at the site and I also want you to post interesting articles you find related to this course. There will be a grade for particpation with the del.icio.us site. First XHTML assignment For extra credit you can work on validating the code using the W3C validator. W3C validator Don't forget to change the encoding to Western Europe if you do not use the first four lines of XHTML code I referred to above. Please note: I will send several emails to your BCC account, please be sure to check! Check back several times, I sometimes add something so you should check out the schedule as the week progresses! |
