Assignment - Chapter 14 (Cascading Style Sheets )
What: a single html file. Name the file <your-lastname-of-record>css.html.
Use lowercase for your lastname. So for example if your lastname is Smith, name
your file smithcss.html.
Where to put the html file: to put the file in the right place, you must
log in to ftp as user anonymous not as yourself. That is, please avoid
using the username you have been given when you login to sputnik using ftp.
Instead, when prompted for a login name, give "anonymous" or the
equivalent "ftp". When asked for a password, give your email address.
Once logged in you will see a subdirectory named "incoming". Change to
that directory (in ws_ftp click on the "incoming" folder; or in
character mode ftp give the command "cd incoming"). Now that you've
selected "incoming" as your target directory, proceed to upload your
zip file. (The purpose is for me to receive all students' work in a single place
rather than scattered among many separate home directories.) The contents of the
"incoming" directory will be invisible. It will show no files, even
when files are present. When you upload, therefore, you will not get visual
confirmation of success by looking for the file in the remote directory. Pay
attention to the status messages issued by your ftp client to get the
satisfaction that transfer has been successfully completed. Or, try transferring
again and if your file is already there you will get a "cannot
overwrite" message, indirectly confirming its presence.
Write a web page that uses CSS (cascading style sheets) and looks pretty cool; save as indicated above.
