Pre-Lab for Lab 8



Please have the following done for this Lab:





  1. If you have not already done so, send an email message to webspace@tc.umn.edu asking for space in your account for a webpage. You should get a message back saying that this will take about 2 weeks, so this should be done ASAP.
  2. Find a webpage that has an interesting layout or an above average design and print it out along with the source code. (You can view the source by looking under View-->Document Source.)

Also, answer the following questions:

  1. Specify the HTML command tag you would use to include a picture called image.gif in a web page. (You can browse through a few sites until you find a picture and view the source or go to the Basic HTML page to see how this is done.)
    
    
    
    
  2. As with many kinds of documents, an HTML page has several main parts, or sections, it can be divided into. By looking at the source code from a page (e.g., the page you have printed the source for above), name one of these main parts.
    
    
    
    
  3. Based on what you have seen on the web, name several design choices that you should probably avoid when creating your own pages (i.e., look for things that are annoying, cumbersome, etc.).
