Assignment #7: HTML5 Canvas

• Add a <canvas> tag to a new HTML page.
  
  
• Save the page as canvas.html


• Put some JavaScript code in canvas.html, which does at least these things with your <canvas> tag:
  • Get and save (in a variable) a canvas object.
  • Create (get) a drawing context for the canvas object.
  • Draw a straight line on the drawing context.
  • Draw a rectangle on the drawing context.
  • Draw anything else that you want to experiment with.
  
  
• Add a hypertext link to the index.html file that is in your class folder. Make this hypertext link display the html page that you made for this assignment.
  
  
• Validate your page using the W3C HTML Validator.
  
  
• Upload your files to your class folder. You will need to use an FTP program to upload the files. You will find some general FTP instructions on a page called "FTP Instructions".
  
  
• Test your pages to make sure they have no errors in them. (You should turn on the display of script errors in your browser!) Here are some instructions on how to turn on JavaScript error messages.
