IST129: Project #4
This project covers chapters 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. You can earn up to
125 points!
In this project, you will enhance your US State web pages to
include the following features
(each feature is worth 25 points):
- table of population statistics for your state(s):
Recent Population Statistics by State
State Population Statistics (in millions)
1980 1990 2000
Virginia 31 33 38
Maryland 28 26 27
Research the correct population numbers for your state(s) and
embed the table artfully into your existing HTML document(s).
You can use official estimates or change the years around as needed.
-
Using an ordered/numbered list, present a list of the top 5
attractions within that state. For at least one item
within that numbered list, nest an unordered list that
lists several points as to why that spot is a top attraction:
- Attraction #1:
- Attraction #2 and so on...
-
For most formatting, coloring, alignment, etc use the
STYLE tags at the top of each document. That is, do not
embed:
<font color=BLUE>
unless you want to override
the STYLE tag settings. Even then you should think about using:
<font style="color:RED">
-
Tastefully place a form somewhere in or linked to your state page(s)
to prompt the user for mailing information so you can send him/her a color
brochure of your state via USPS. Prompt them for:
- name
- address
- city
- state
- Present the list of states as 1 one line combo box!
- Only use 3 states to prove you can do it.
- zip code
- YES, NO checkboxes as to whether they intend to visit
your state this year
