Assignment 0 (10 points) 

In this assignment you will create, upload your first XHTML Web page on your York Web space, and submit your assignment 0 using the Web submission link.

 

  1. Activate your Web space through Manage my Services; Central Web Services.  Follow the instructions to “Activate your Web account” (you need to access Passport York).  Use the instruction given on the York site to create and upload your files on the York Web server:  link1, link2.  You can do this from any computer connected to Internet.  The York Web server is the “remote” server.
  2. The “root” of your Web space (on the York Web server) will appear in the right window of Core FTP LE client (red spot on the figure bellow).  In the left window you will see folders from your computer.

To transfer a file from your computer (left window) to your remote Web space (right window):

    • first click on the file on the left window (you make a choice)
    • second click on the arrow pointing to the right (blue arrow).  You will hear a sound at the end of the transfer, and you will see the file in the right window.

 

  1. Create on your computer hard disk a folder named CSE1550.  Create a subfolder named Assignments in it.  Download in your folder Assignments the following files:  Assig_0.html, York_Univ.JPG, b_9.jpg, Button_001.JPG, Button_002.JPG, Button_003.JPG, Button_004.JPG, Button_005.JPG (right click on each link and save it in your Assignments folder). 
  2. Modify the file Assig_0.html as follows:
    • Rename it index.html
    • Replace Miranda Smith by your name.
    • Modify the src for each image such as their relative addresses correspond to their location(hint: your images will be all in the subfolder images on your Web site)
  3. Save the file index.html in your CSE1550 folder.
  4. Validate your index.html page using the W3C validator for XHTML.  Your mark will be diminished if your page is not XHTML valid.  Only after your page passes the validation add the icon on your page (copy and paste the code from the site)

 

  1. Open the FTP client.  Browse the left window such as you can see the folder CSE1550 and its files in it.
  2. Create in your “root” (right window of the FTP client) a folder named “images” and upload in it: York_Univ.JPG, b_9.jpg, Button_001.JPG, Button_002.JPG, Button_003.JPG, Button_004.JPG, Button_005.JPG.
  3. Upload in your root the file index.html.

 

  1. Try your URL in a Web browser (Firefox), to be sure that it is working.   You will receive the mark only for a working URL.
