I collected the accessibility checklists that you put together. I talked a bit about our project that we'll work on after we finish Chapter 12. (We'll cover Chapters 13 and on after the project is underway.) I found somebody's list of most accessible Web sites. We looked a t a winner, but don't quite know why it won—at least not yet!
I returned Quiz 4. The scores were 20(2), 19, 18.5, 17, 16.5, 16, 14, 13, 11, and 8.5 with an average of 15.8. If you did not do well, make sure you understand what you missed.
We also took a look at layouts using CSS. HFHTML Chapter 12 presents some ways of doing layouts. We also took a look at CSS Layout Techniques: for Fun and Profit. What do you notice that these various techniques have in common? Each element that is associated with the layout is given an id and rules are written to position and style that element. Most often, the element is a <div>.
Homework
Construct a Web page with a two-column layout. The page should also have a header and a footer that spans the two columns. The left column should have a fixed width and contain a navigation menu. The right column should be "liquid" (or "fluid") and contain the main content of the page, which for now can be fake Latin text. The footer should contain contact information and have centered text. The header will contain text that serves as the main heading for the page content.
You may work with another student in the class on this. Put a sample HTML page and the external style sheet on the cs.wofford.int server, then send me the URL. If you work with a partner, be sure the e-mail message you send me states both names.
Due by the start of class on Friday.
