60-205 - An Introduction to the Internet

Rules to Follow for your Project

  1. Students are not to create additional directories (aka. folders or sub-directories) and submit their files into these sub-directories. You are to drag all of your files (html and images) into the main directory. The main directory is the directory that you will arrive to as soon as you log-in to your account. Students who create sub-directories and drag their files into them will recieve a mark of zero (0)!

  2. While using color parameters, only hexidecimal is accepted for specifing a color. Use the # sign with all hexidecimal color codes.

  3. Capitals are not accepted when naming a file or within a command. Everything that is not text (content) must be in lowercase. Tags, especially, must be in lower case.
    This becomes of extreme importance when you name your main page (index page). You are to name it index.html with lower case i. Naming the file Index.html with upper case I will result in your page not being displayed, and as a result, you will recieve 0/5 on your index page assignment.

  4. A complete page is a page with at least 7 to 8 lines of content "text" and at least one picture and a back link. Spelling, grammar and coherency count! Text must be normal size full screen 7 to 8 lines in order to qualify (A page with big letters of 7 lines doesn't work). A page lacking sufficient content could lose up to two marks for lack of written content(-1) and/or lack of an image(-1).

  5. Watch the order of tags while closing.

  6. If frames are used - then they have to fully work or marks are lost.

  7. Keep backgrounds consistent throughout the site. The index.htm page is an exception.

  8. Minimize the use of animated gifs. One per page.

  9. When making thumbnails, the use of height and width parameters is not permitted to resize your image files. Only resizing the image to thumbnail size using Paint Shop Pro or another graphics editor is acceptable. Otherwise you will have a major slowdown in page loading time.
    NOTE: make sure you still include height and width attributes in your image tags with the actual dimensions of the images.

  10. Any type of advertising whatsoever is unacceptable. Students who advertise will recieve a mark of zero (0)!

  11. Any type of pornography or nudity whatsoever is unacceptable unless agreed upon by the Professor.

  12. Refer to the A.U.P. (Acceptable Use Policy).

  13. Make sure you are not missing quote marks around attibute value specifications (anywhere you use something="something")

  14. As a page is a full body it can not be dismembered. It will always have one HEAD and one BODY in that order.

  15. A minimum of 10 pages (files) with content, and a maximum of 15 are expected. If the first 10 we mark are your best, you're okay. If you want your form and image map pages to be included in the 10 pages then they must have content, however you will get credit for those elements if they do not have sufficient content.

  16. Pages are viewed at 1024 X 768 resolution at full screen, using Mozilla Firefox on the Novell terminals in the computer center classroom.

  17. All images and personal files must be in your 60-205 directory. If it's yours, it had better be in there. No images linked in from outside sources. Do not make separate directories for images. All addressing must be relative. (Without pathnames.) See rule #1.

  18. A page of 1 and a half screens or longer MUST have internal links and targets.

  19. Every page (file) must have a title.

  20. Tables and images that scroll off the screen to the right will be penalized.

  21. Every page has an image and a back link. Marks will be deducted each time an image or a back link is missing. Pay attention to these deductions, as they can quickly add up!

  22. Absolutely no spaces in any file names.

  23. *** ALL Projects are to be Personal Biographies. 10-15 pages about yourself or a fictitious(made up by you) person Absolutely NO sites are to be written about anything else

  24. In-line style use is strongly recommended where possible. DO NOT use Cascading style sheets!!!!

  25. ALL CONTENT ON ALL PAGES MUST BE THE ORIGINAL WORK OF THE STUDENT. COPYING CONTENT FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE WILL RESULT IN A ZERO FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT.
