WEB DESIGN: BASICS

Assignment 2 • Links to the states!

  1. Download and save the file states.txt as an HTML file (states.html). Don't forget the <HTML> tags.
  2. Create an alphabet link at the top of the page so that when some clicks on O (for example), it brings them down to the beginning of the O states (Ohio is the first O state). For example: A-B-C-D-E-....

  3. Provide a link to each state's web site and make it so that the link opens a new browser window/tab. The standard for state government web site addresses is: www.state.??.us where the ?? is the two-letter appreviation for the state.

    For example, Oregon's URL would be www.state.or.us.

    Many states also have a ".gov" domain as well; for example: oregon.gov

  4. After the list of states, add a link to the White House web site: www.whitehouse.gov. When you click on it, it should open up a new window.

  5. On the next line, put in a link called "top" that takes you to the top of the page (see the bottom of this page).

  6. Put your name at the bottom of the page and make it a link so that when it's clicked it brings up an email tool (this depends on which email tool is the default for your machine. Sometimes it's Outlook Express.)

Extra Practice

  1. Create a new page, declaration.html, that will provide links to the amendments page you made from assignment 1 and a link to the declaration of independence at: www.archives.gov/national_archives_experience/declaration.html

  2. At the bottom of the "amendments" page, put in a link to your "states page". On your "states" page link back to the "amendments" page.
