This assignment will demonstrate using hypertext links.
You will be adding a set of relative links to your index page.
You will also add some absolute links to a new "Resources" page. See below for details.
You will put a title attribute into each of the links that you make for this assignment.
Add some hypertext links to your index page,
toward the top of the page and definitely above your divs and paragraphs.
You need to
use the same index.html page that has been your assignment page for your
previous assignments.
Here are the two relative-URL links that you will add to your index.html page:
Home (with an href attribute of "index.html") (This is a purposely circular link and will make more sense later in the semester.)
Resources (with an href attribute of "resources.html") (And please note that you will be making
a new page and saving it as resources.html. See below for details.)
The "Resources" link on your index.html page (see the previous items)
means that you will need to make a new page for this assignment. You will save this new page as
resources.html. To get started on this new page, you can copy and paste the HTML5
Template from this class site's "Resources" page if you wish.
In your new resources.html page, put a paragraph and/or some text which self-identifies
the page as the Resources page. Then put in a <div> tag or a <p> (paragraph) which contains
at least
two absolute-URL links to some web sites of your choice. I suggest that you
link to sites such as
Google.com
Wikipedia.org
W3Schools.com
And make sure you put the attribute target="_blank" into these external-URL <a> tags.
Make sure you put a title attribute into all of the <a> tags, meaning all of the relative-URL <a> tags and all of the
absolute-URL <a> tags that you have created for this assignment.
Continue to use your external stylesheet, myStyles.css,
if you need to make any formatting and/or styling changes.
Validate your index.html page with the W3C's
HTML
Validator page. I will also be validating your page, so this
validation will be part of your grade. Don't worry about
validating the other new files yet; you will validate them in
later assignments after you add real content to them.
Validate your stylesheet page with the W3C's
CSS Validator page. I will also be validating your
page, so this validation will be part of your grade.
Upload your files (HTML pages and stylesheet) to your Freehostia site.
Test all of the links in all of your pages, on your student site.
Make sure you reload/refresh the pages in your browser.
Make sure all of the links actually open and display the pages and sites that you
intend.
