[!] [=title "Week 1 Homework"] [=content-]

I didn't actually expect to get as far as we did in the first week, so homework is pretty short and spur-of-the-moment. Later homeworks will be much longer.

This homework is optional. You won't be graded on it, and there's nothing to submit. Future homeworks will not be optional.

Part 1

If you didn't get an image working, try to do that! Remember the image tag has peculiar behavior, and looks like this:

<img src="/path/to/image.extension">

If your image is in Downloads, for instance, your image tag might look like <img src="Downloads/image.png">.

Be aware that this is relative to your index.html file. This means that, if your index.html file is in Documents, trying to access "Downloads/image.png" will actually try to access Documents/Downloads/image.png, which usually won't exist.

To fix this, either make sure your image and your index.html are in the same directory (e.g. one of Downloads, Documents, etc) and don't use a directory name (like <img src="image.png">) or use the "../" path to break out of a directory (like <img src="../Downloads/image.png">).

Part 2

Remember a link looks like:

<a href="https://example.com/">Link Text</a>

Links are pretty cool - for instance, you can actually put most tags inside them. Try making a website with a clickable image!

Self-Study

We're going to be introducing some more advanced tags and techniques in class on Friday. Get a head start by learning on your own about,

You'll have to Google these on your own - remember to write concise queries, like "<tag> in HTML" or "how to use [some tool]". And don't worry if you don't find anything; we'll go over it in class.

If you can get the web inspector working, try using it to read the source-code of this page - there are some cool basic tags in here that you can play with!

Bonus Points

I will give you bonus points (0.5% to your final grade) if you bring in an HTML tag you learned on your own and a quick demonstration of how it works on Friday!

I'll make it 2% if you can bring in a tag I haven't heard of.
