Week 1 Homework

+

+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. +
