Advanced Computers – Web Design

Messmer High School

 

Project 1 in the Unit 6 project list. Here is a suggested sequence of steps that will help you write Project 1 from the Unit 6 assignments.

 

  1. Read Mini-chapter 12 in the online textbook about Tables. Tables are one of the most important techniques used in building web sites. They are very flexible and after a while you will notice them everywhere.

 

  1. Create a new folder for this assignment in My Documents. Call it Week6P1. You will put everything you need for this project in this folder. Do not put anything else in this folder.

 

  1. Make one blank HTML program. Call it “planet_table_1.html”. Include the html tags, the head tags, the body tags, and the title tags. Write the page so that inserting html code is easy. Use vertical alignment for the various opening and closing tags. You should use Arachnophilia for this.

 

  1. Add the title as follows – Week6P1, a hyphen, and your name.

 

  1. Add the standard comments in the heading section.

 

  1. Put a centered heading at the top of the page. Make it bold and centered with very large print. It should read – The Solar system.

 

  1. Use the Table wizard in Arachnophilia to create a table with two columns and one row. Set the border equal to three.

 

  1. Use the Table wizard in Arachnophilia to create a table with three columns and three rows. Set the border equal to three. Put this table inside the right side cell of the table in step 7. This gives a nested table effect with one large cell on the left and nine smaller cells in a three by three array on the right.

 

  1. Put the sun picture and link in the large cell on the left. Fill the cells on the right with the pictures and links for the nine planets.

 

  1. Test your program and see that it works correctly. Show your instructor the source code in the Arachnophilia online.

 

  1. Save and print your source code. If you finish early help someone near to understand this project better.
