Tips

October 3:

HAND-IN:

For the screen project, you want to describe your design in two forms, the 2 dimensional DXF template file and a rendering of the panel. You can use e-mail to send me the results and they should be visible in your home directory under "screen.html".

FILE NAMING AND DIRECTORIES:

For consistency it will make things much easier if every body follows the same conventions. Under your login directory you should have a public_html subdirectory which has

1. your personal home page called "index.html"
2. your screen design called "screen.html"
3. your telecommuter's center called "telecenter.html"
4. plus whatever else you want.

It'll be neater if you can keep the GIF files and DXF files in subdirectories of public_html; just make sure that you reference them with the full path. For example, from the "index.html" I could have a reference for "GIFS/myface.GIF", but if I have a secondary HTML in a parallel subdirectory, I'd need to reference the link as "../GIFS/myface.GIF". The double periods go back to the higher level before looking for the GIFS directory.
