Summer 2006 Lab 3 Questions

Post questions here:

I am having some problems getting my picture to show. Also, are there any more references for setting up a style sheet?
Check your tags and try it in a different browser. If you already uploaded your page to your prism account, make sure you uploaded the picture as well. For more references, other than the tutorial, you can just search Google for 'stylesheets' or 'html' and it'll give you a ton of useful tutorials. - Bobby Mathew
Is this lab due on Monday or Wednesday? I thought it was going to be Wednesday. There was no date, but in recitation and class today we talked about Wednesday...Now the date has been added and it says Monday.
The lab is due Monday. If you're in my recitation, I said the lab would be due Monday or Wednesday. -Bobby Mathew
Nope, I am not in yours. We did talk about it in class( those of us that were there), and I think we are under the impression it was Wednesday. Not trying to be a pain, but it leaves us very little time to meet with a TA for help, especially if we have class all day Monday.
Doing the basic requirements of the website will only take an hour at the most to write it, validate it and upload it. It was gone in depth in both recitations. Also, I have office hours from 4-6pm on Monday and you can always email/IM your TA during the weekend and ask to help you out with coding in html or validating your website. - Bobby Mathew
When I click on the download WinSCP on the tutorial it sends me to sourceforge.net, tells me to choose a mirror program and then gives me all sorts of warning messages, can't authenticate, can't verify server errors etc. Is there a particular mirror that we should choose and are they safe?
Try this page and choose a mirror - http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/winscp/winscp382setup.exe?download. Post here if you still get an error. I don't know how safe they are. I haven't heard of any problems so far. - Bobby Mathew
Ok, that worked. Now, when I uploaded to prism, instead of showing my web page, it lists an index with parent directory and everything listed underneath that I copied over. When you open the html file, the picture does not show, even though it showed before. Have I really screwed up now?
No, it shouldn't be a big problem. Rename your file as index.html and upload it again. Make sure you upload the pictures to prism as well, otherwise it won't show up. - Bobby Mathew
I was in this class in the spring, but had to drop it because I fell too far behind due to computer problems. However, now I am trying to change my webpage to meet this semesters specifications, but everytime I edit my code using notepad on my computer, then copy to my prism account using WinSCP, it still shows my original page from last semester. What am I doing wrong? I am missing some of the requirements for the assignment, just because my page won't upgrade. I can also double-click on my "index.html" file on my computer and it will show the correct webpage, it's just when I go to the actual website.

Please help. Thanks.

I don't know what exactly the problem might be. Sometimes, just refreshing the page will help. Otherwise, delete the html file from WinSCP and reload it. If that doesn't help either, just email your website to one of the TA's. - Bobby Mathew
Well, I resaved my index.html file to index2.html and now when I go to that new website, it shows it correctly, for some reason it just will not take my edited index.html and override the old index.html. So I guess I will just contact my TA with the different website, unless there is a way someone can still help

I accidently clicked the dreaded "move" instead of copy,now my directory is in match5 instead of /tnt4/59. How do I change it back?

There should be a drop down menu where you can select the folder. Go to /root, then scroll down to /tnt4 and then go to 59 and that should be yours. And delete the file from match5. - Bobby Mathew
I have uploaded my web page and ran the W3C markup. It tenatively passed the XHTML transitional, but it did report the following:No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8. I did not use the CSS style sheet. Is there something else that I should have in my header other than what is shown on the Lab 3 requirement sheet, or Blake's tutorial, or does this message matter?
     <head>
        <title>The title of the page goes here.</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    </head>

Make sure you define the character set in your head tags. - Bobby Mathew

That worked. Thanks Bobby for all your help!
I am getting told that when i use the Heading 1 and other heading titles that i have an error due to the fact that "the document type does not allow element "h1" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag." What is this? and how do i fix it? This has occured for everytime i use a heading and due to that i have errors. I would appreciate your help as soon as possible. Thanks.
Make sure that your h1 tags are within the body tags and that you close it using . If the error still comes, email a TA with the link to your website. -Bobby Mathew
what does this mean "You have requested we check the referring page, but your browser did not send the HTTP "Referer" header field"
I remember this error but I don't know what causes it. Try uploading your webpage to prism and then try to validate it. -Bobby Mathew
I am confused again. When I created my public_html it assigned the directory Match 1/52, and by the time I got to the properties page, I could not change the location. The tutorial did not say anything about setting tnt4/59 prior to creating the public_html. I never used a move function, only copy. How do I get it into tnt/49?
Don't worry about changing the folder. When you first open WinSCP, the folder on the right side is the place you need to make your public_html folder (if its not already there). Just drag your index.html file into the public_html folder. Don't change the path. -Bobby Mathew
ive tried to delete my files on teh wrong root and it will not let me, i also can not create one in the proper tnt 4/59...whats wrong?
nevermind...
After i have downloaded the WinSCP and typed in my gtg and password, my computer files dont even show up, instead i see all the files that should be on the right side of the screen...what should i do? i need help please.

On the right side, if you see the public_html folder, you can just drag your html files and images from another folder. In other words, if you don't see anything on the left side, just manually open up the folder which has your html files and images and then drag it onto the right side. It doesn't have to be dragging from the left side to the right. It can be dragging a file from anywhere onto the right side. - Bobby Mathew
does the page have to be fully validated..or do we just get points taken off for the errors it finds?
When we click the validator, it'll give the number of errors at the top. 2 points off for each error. If there are no errors, a green bar will show up which means that its fully validated. - Bobby Mathew
i have done everything that the winspc tutorial said to and my webpage still wont show up when i type in the url. is there anything else that i need to do to make it work? thanks

That's kind of a vague question. You could make sure your permissions are correct, your file should be named index.html, it should be in your public_html directory. If you've tried everything, then it would be a good idea to come to office hours. - Bobby Mathew
I've followed all the directions we got in class, and on Blake's tutorial to the T, yet I am still getting several errors on the validation page. I would rather not fail this lab because almost all the errors are the same, just for a different part of the webpage. I can't make it to any of your office hours tomorrow. I've already emailed my TA too and no answer. I wish one of yall would get online. So much for weekend help.
Send me an email with your code and i will see what i can do -Albert d'Heurle
If we upload the webpage to our who's who page, like we did in the example in the slides, there should be a clickable link. On the requirements it says must have a clickable link and picture, is this to the webpage or on the webpage to something else. Probably a really stupid question but I would appreciate an answer. Thanks

You should have a text link and image link on your website. This has nothing to do with your Who's Who page. You can have a link to any website. Yahoo! . That would make a text link. - Bobby Mathew
Okay, my picture won't come up after I've loaded it to my who's who page, everything else works, just not that? I read above and made sure I uploaded the picture as well but it still doesn't work?
I cannot get my page to validate. This is my url. http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg857x/webpage.html Run the validator and explain the error message for me, please. Everything else is working.
nevermind I got the picture to work, but I was wondering if you could give me a hint on getting a picture to become "clickable." Would you just write:
<a href='where you want to go'><image src='yadayada.jpg'/></a>

<a href="where you want to go"><img src="yadayada.jpg" alt = "Picture" /></a>
. Its almost the same thing you wrote except this one's validated. - Bobby Mathew
I'm done with everything and my page is validated. Whenever I type in web address however, the index appears with a list of everything I uploaded. Then I have to click on the html link to see my page. Is that ok as long as everything is validated?

Its not ok. Make sure your html file is named index.html and its directly under the public_html folder. That means, if you open public_html, you should see the file there, without having to open another folder. - Bobby Mathew
As of right now, my website works and I did it in strict, but I left the snipit the same as requested at the bottom. If we chose to do our website in Strict...and we changed the DOCTYPE at the top....do we also have to change the snipit at the bottom of our webpage for the validator.
Preferable, but I believe the validator will automatically detect the DOCTYPE when you click the link. -Blake O'Hare
my picture and webpage comes up but it is taking forever to completely come up, and i can not get to the validation part of the page, what should i do
I don't know what would cause a page to be slow. Do you mean for the images to come up? Or do you mean you computer slows down? If the images are taking forever to show up, then perhaps you should size the original files down. Validation part of the page. -Blake O'Hare
Yesterday i uploaded my webpage adn all the pictures showed up, but today when i cheked it the picters weren't there anymore. any ideas on how to fix this?

There isn't a place to post questions to the pre-quiz... so I was just wondering if we can get a solution to the prequiz on here, or email our TA, or something like that. Also... it is still tomorrow right? I haven't heard any talk about it, so I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks.
When I validate my web page by entering the url at the validator.w3.org site it comes back with no errors. If I try and click on the validator link on my web page I get the following:
No Referer header found!
You have requested we check the referring page, but your browser did not send the HTTP "Referer" header field. This can be for several reasons, but most commonly it is because your browser does not know about this header, has been configured not to send one, or is behind a proxy or firewall that strips it out of the request before it reaches us.

This is not an error in the referring page!

Please use the form interface on the Validator Home Page (or the Extended Interface) to check the page by

I have copied the href exactly as shown on the homework worksheet. Will the TA check it by the icon or by the url at validator.w3.org?


if we have the solution to the pre-quiz can we post it to help out...
do we have to upload our pictures somewhere speacial or can we just use photobucket or flickr?
thanks
could you give me answers to the splicing and reversing of the prequiz, i am stupid, i have came up with a bunch of codes but when i test them they do not work. please help anyone can answer, what ya'll have is got to better than what i have.
I am learning how to ask a question on the question page -blank
in css how do i get a border to be centered using strict xhtml

I can't get my validator to get rid of this error for my
. The error says that the document type does not allow element "div" here. Can you tell me what's wrong? I have it for my table and for an image. Thanks.
