CGS3993, Spring 1999, Assignment 1

Due 1/28 at the start of class

Make all your changes on the web, and hand in a printout of the source code for index.html and hw1.html. Also, send me an e-mail message with the URL of your home page when the assignment is ready to be graded.

1. Create a subdirectory of your www directory on solix.
   • Name the directory 3994.hw
   • Give world read and execute permission to this directory
   • Create a file named hw1.html in this directory. The contents of this file are described later on this page.
   • Do not create this file. Apparently www.fiu.edu has restricted use of the .htaccess file. Create a file in the 3994.hw directory with the name .htaccess containing the following. You may also add your current ipaddress to the allow from list. However, each time you finish working on your file, be sure to have only my two ipaddresses on the line. You can find out your current ipaddress by running my ipaddress script. Your ipaddress will change each time you log onto the web.

     <limit GET POST>
     order deny,allow
     deny from all
     allow from  131.94.129.42  131.94.125.142
     </limit>
     

2. Create a home page in your solix www directory.
   • Name the file index.html
   • Create a link from the index.html page to the hw1.html page in your homework directory. If you already have a home page on solix, then just add the link to the homework assignment to your home page.
3. You are to create a web page that includes the following format. Do not use a style sheet.
   • Be sure your page has the standard format, including the HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags.
   • Include an appropriate title for your page.
   • Include 6 paragraphs. Each paragraph should have at least 10 lines. The content may be something that interests you, or you may just copy some paragraphs from the text (or grab some off the web!). Each paragraph should have a heading. Use a different one of the six predefined headings for each paragraph. Align two of the paragraphs left, two right, and two center. Make one paragraph bold, another italicized, another underlined. Make the font of one paragraph bigger, and of another paragraph smaller.
   • Include a table of contents at the top of your page which can be clicked to take you to each of the six paragraphs. At the end of each paragraph, have a link back to the table of contents.
   • Include a graphic that you have downloaded to your web directory from the Web. Do not include any of the graphics on any of my pages (like the table below!).
   • Include a graphic from the graphics directory on the www.fiu.edu server
   • Include a link to your home page
   • Include a link to my page for your class (the c3993.shtml page).
   • Include a link to the www.apache.org site.
   • Include a link to the www.w3.org site.
   • Include an ordered list that uses Roman Numerals. Create an outline of something that interests you, or use the Table of Contents of the text. Include at least three items under each main heading.
   • Nest three unordered lists. The first level should use a square, the second level should use a disk, and the third level should use a circle.
   • Change the background color (or image). Change the text, link, vlink, alink parameters to suitable colors for your background color/image.
   • Include a table that has colspan and rowspan used appropriately to reproduce the following table. Change the color of some of the cells. Vary the alignment of rows and cells. It is not necessary to have your table look exactly like this, but it should be close. Here is the table to duplicate:
