<code>tag!
| Check out the announcements page. First, lab isn't due until friday. Second, there are some servers down. Keep watching the announcements page for more info. Amanda Bennett |
| Double and triple check for typos in the HTML document, and make sure that the HTML document and all the photos are in the same folder Toni Walden |
| Capitalization matters. Check and ensure that every part of your image name and type is capitalized the same was as you have it in your HTML file. Amanda Bennett |
| It should be just the filename (ex. "myotherpage.html").....assuming that the second page is saved in the same folder as the first Toni Walden |
| Yes, to both Toni Walden |
| Use your prism ID. -Albert d'Heurle |
To display an image using html you have to use <img src="nameofpic.jpg" />. Try that. -Albert d'Heurle |
| Save it as "index.html" or whatever you want to name it, since Notepad will append .txt unless you put it in quotes (or select All Files as the type when saving). |
<a href="somewebsite.html"><img src="somepic.jpg" /></a>-Albert d'Heurle |
| yes. just use your prism id. I am sorry that was not clear. -Albert d'Heurle |
| You can use anything we give you as a example in the tutorial - its our way of showing you how we want you to do it. It would be pretty unfair if we were giving you examples you couldn't use! Toni Walden |
| Try my favorite thing to do when I don't know the answer to something - Google it! :) Another good idea - go to the some of the TAs' coweb page(s)....some of them have their webpages (on prism) linked to their who's who page...poke around enough and you should be able to find some very helpful things ;p Toni Walden |
| Name your file index.html not lab4.html. It will then load correctly. Colin Potts |
| Have you defined a DOCTYPE above your html tag and/or charset inside the head tag? -poof #10 |
| I use Fugu. You can download it from the OIT site.http://www.oit.gatech.edu Colin Potts |
| -poof #10- What are you trying to center it inside of? If it's in a table cell, <td align="center"><img src="basser.jpg" /></td> |
| -poof #10- If it's just appearing on the page, <p align="center"><img src="basser.jpg" /></p> |
| A mirror is just a location to download the file from. It really doesn't matter what you pick, but I know there's one for Atlanta and one from like Kentucky or somewhere. Just choose one that's close to Georgia. -poof #10 |
, it turns out as a square with a red cross in it, BUT, when I put in the full path, 
the picture shows up fine. Thats fine but I'd like to do it the way the tutorial shows with just the filename. Any suggestions?| You have to have that picture saved in the same folder as your html file for the tutorial's way to work correctly Liz Helms | _ |
| Yes, you may expand your site however you like. Liz Helms |
| I would check with a TA at office hours. Amanda Bennett |
| For all validation errors, it is probably easier for you to take them to a TAs office hours, because sometimes one error will cause another later on in your writeup that is not really an error. Its complicated, hence, take it to a TA so we can see everything thats going on. Liz Helms |
| A GIF is a type of image. Liz Helms |
| Are your pictures included in the public_html folder? Are they capitalized correctly? Amanda Bennett |
<br/>when i want extra space inbetween paragraphs or is there another way?
| As long as it passes validation, you should be fine. Amanda Bennett |
| Yup. As long as you use the picture as a link. Amanda Bennett |
| Check your capitalization. They should be the same. Amanda Bennett |
Instead of using just the <table>tage in your HTML, use <table border="1">in your HTML. Try different numbers in that tag too. You get different types of lines. (I think this is what you mean by lines, if not, repost the question) Amanda Bennett |
<br/>takes you to the next line and sometimes it skips a line like a new paragraph? i guess it just demonstrated it! but still sometimes it skips 2 lines
| I think that was the tag br is supposed to do skip a line. -Albert d'Heurle |
| you can just create another HTML document (ex. aboutme.html) and then link the two together. It works in the same way as linking an external site, but you can just put the filename instead of the full url (ex "aboutme.html" vs "http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gth694q/aboutme.html"). Just make sure you save the other HTML file(s) in the same folder as your home page...like you did with the pictures... Hope this helps :) Toni Walden |
<h#>, I'm not able to center the text. Is it that supposed to happen? If so, could I just display my name with a larger font instead of a heading so that I can keep it centered?
| Weeelllll - since the requirements for this assignment say something about using a heading I would strongly discourage you from just using really big font as it could negatively affect your grade. With that being said, what I would do is set up your whole page in a table, so it's easier to control the formatting. So to center your heading you could have the first row span across all the columns, and have everything in that row aligned center. Hope this helps :) Feel free to point out if its confusing ^.^ Toni Walden |
| There are many many things that could be wrong. Could you be a little more specific as to what you are or arent seeing or what steps are not working for you? Liz Helms |
| Make sure your main page is not titled lab4.html but is called index.html. Otherwise, you might have to adjust the privacy settings which is more along the lines of an Office Hour visit. Liz Helms |
| It is probably a good idea to create a table within the guidlines specified, even if you have to leave some table cells blank. Liz Helms |
| It would probably be best if you visited someone's office hours Toni Walden |
| To be on the safe side, I would make sure the page index.html met all the requirements Toni Walden |
<p align="center"> <img src="JES.jpg"></p>. If that is true how am I suppose to center the images?
| You are forgetting one little thing in your image tag. Go back and look at the section in the tutorial dealing with the image tag and see if you can find the little bugger ;p Toni Walden |
| Please see the answer to the question posted above Toni Walden |
| The 27th, like it says on the Announcements page. - Brittany Duncan |
| There's an error in your code order I bet. But I can't tell you where the error is w/out seeing your HTML file. I'd suggest taking it to a TA's office hours or finding a TA online for help. Amanda Bennett |
| Nothing to turn into webwork. It's fine to have requirements on the second page, but you will probably want to mention that the requirements are on the next page from the main page. Amanda Bennett |
| Is that another website?! (the answer is, "why yes, amanda, it is another website"). So therefore, that's fine. Amanda Bennett |
| I'll take a guess that you used an editing application like Wordpad and did not convert the file to plain text. The stuff you are seeing is another kind of markup language – Rich Text Format, or RTF – that some word processors use. Use Notepad instead or make sure you save in text-only mode. Colin Potts Oh, wait, I just saw your disclaimer below! But you won't be the only person to make this mistake probably! |
| Servers are down right now. Keep an eye on the announcements page for more info. Amanda Bennett |
| OIT is reporting some problems with some of their servers (Monday evening/Tuesday morning). This may be a temporary problem. Try again later. Colin Potts |
| No, you won't be penalized. (1) The deadline is now Friday. (2) OIT is reporting some problems with some of their servers (Monday evening/Tuesday morning). This may be a temporary problem. Try again later. Colin Potts |
| You won't be penalized because it isn't due until Friday. I guess if it was Friday then you would be penalized for procrastinating, but not because the server doesn't like you. :-P -Brittany Duncan |
| Suggestion: Take your laptop and your questions about servers to recitation this week. Mark Guzdial |
| Hey everybody, people are having problems logging on to the acme server, OIT is trying to figure out the problem. Colin said on the announcements page not to worry about it right now, I just wanted to let people know we are aware. -Brittany Duncan |
| You can call the other page whatever you want. Just make sure that the name of the file and the href in the <a> tag are the same. Colin Potts |
| Great advice. Here's a shortcut. Since each pair of hex digits ranges from 00 to FF (where F is hex for 15), you can do some trial and error approximation. 80 is about halfway between 00 and FF, so 808080 should be gray. C0 is about 75%, because C is hex for 12. So C0C0C0 should be a light gray and C0FFFF should be light cyan, and FFC0FF and FFFFC0 should be the correspondingly light shades of magenta and yellow. You can get a long way by mixing just the values 40, 80, C0 and FF for the three colors. Then you can fine tune. Play around with a few of these numbers and you should be able to home in on any shade you want. Colin Potts |
| Here's a link to the wikipedia site about webcolor...it has a really nice color chart Click! Toni Walden |
| Do an internet search for "HTML mail form" and you will find plenty of helpful resources. Amanda Bennett |
| I'd suggest using javascript. You can copy this code and modify it as you need for this. Amanda Bennett |
| I'm pretty sure it will work in a heading. Try it and see! Amanda Bennett |
| 1. Are your pictures in the public_html folder? 2. Are they referred to as just the picture name (good) or a hardcoded path on your computer (bad)? 3. Did you check capitalization of ALL parts of the picture name to make sure the picture in your public_html folder matches the name you have in your HTML code? If you did all of these, you might want to go see a TA at office hours. But, I'm guessing one of these will fix your problem. Amanda Bennett |
| Try going to the other page manually. That is, type in the URL from the HREF in the text field at the top of the browser window. Does that take you to the second page? The problem may not be with the link itself but with the second page that it is supposed to link to. Colin Potts |
| Go look at the HTML tutorial again.....it has an example of what the hyperlink tag should look like. Toni Walden |
| To clarify: The linked picture will show up in your web page when you load it locally (by double clicking the index file on your desktop) but will not show up when you upload the files to the server? If I've got that right, your problem is with the upload process not with your HTML. (1) First off, try uploading again. Maybe you did something wrong. (2) Have you checked that you uploaded the picture in the same form as on your desktop - i.e. not with a changed name or in a new subdirectory? When you go into WinSCP, does the jpg file show up on the server in the directory listing alongside the index.html file you uploaded? (3) Have you reloaded the index file in your browser? Browsers save local versions of web pages on your computer's disk for a while, so if you visit the page several times, the first time you will get it from the remote site, but on subsequent occasions, you will get the local copy. If you uploaded an early incorrect version of the page, you may still be seeing your local copy of that file, not the later, correct version that you uploaded later. You can force the correct, remote version to load by hitting the reload button. (4) See a TA. This problem has to have a simple solution. Colin Potts |
| I don't think we're going to make progress on this unless you actually send your HTML to a TA or me or (better stlll) show them on a laptop in office hours. Remember too that it's ok to collaborate on labs if you give credit, and if you have a fellow student look over your shoulder they may see the problem immediately. This sounds like a classic case of a clever person doing something stupid (which happens to me all the time). It could be a problem with your img tags, it could be a problem with the location of the files. Colin Potts |
| That's right, upload the page to your prism account. There is no need to use WebWork for this assignment. Be sure to follow the requirements stated on the Lab 4 page. Colin Potts |
| I can fix anything. Come see me. -poof #10 |
| Did you define your own width or height? -poof #10 |
| I think I'm going to regret publicizing this, but look at the page Darryl Zuk's group created during recitation yesterday: http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gth727h/Potts.html. It has an inspiring example of rollover that you can use as a model without the danger of plagiarizing autogenerated HTML from just anywhere. Colin Potts |
| Yes. -poof #10 |
