Exercise 1: Add a Copyright Statement to your web page

Download a web page you have created from the web server to the local hard disk, and edit it using NOTEPAD or WRITE. Add the following statement at the bottom of your document, in a centered paragraph:

1999, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR. All rights reserved.

Exercise 2: Add an image

Add an image to your web page. If you didn't bring an image with you, you can download one of the thousands available at clip art sites on the web. I recommend Barry's Clip Art Server <http://www.barrysclipart.com/>. For example, how about an RGB color chart? <http://www.barrysclipart.com/imgs/rgb.gif>.

Exercise 3: Add some color

Add some color to your web page:

  1. Modify the <BODY> tag to set the background and link colors for your page.
  2. Add color to a heading or other text on your page using the <FONT> tag.

Exercise 4: Add a table

Insert the following table into your document (no peeking at the HTML used to generate this page):

    Physical Properties
Element Symbol Number Mass
Hydrogen H 1 1.008
Helium He 2 4.003

You may substitute your own content if you like.

Exercise 5: Publish your page

Be sure to publish your page before leaving, so that you'll have it when you get home or back to your office. Be careful that you don't overwrite something you may care about. To avoid this, you can rename your file before publishing it. Don't forget to publish any images along with the HTML file!
