Web Design
Lab 2
For the next two labs, you will be creating your own web pages using the various XHTML tags listed in the
web design handout. To create a simple web page, we will use Notepad (text editor). You should not use a
word processor like MS Word for this application, since word-processed files have hidden characters that
can be misinterpreted when the web page document is loaded into the browser. Also, remember not to cut
and paste code from the web design tutorial handout or any other MS Word documents.
Use XHTML tags and Notepad to create two web pages about two tech topics selected from the list below.
1. Twitter
2. Apple I-phone and its applications
3. Pro’s and Con’s of Social Networks
4. Robotics
5. Hybrid Cars
Save the two Notepad documents you create as lab2a.html and lab2b.html in your H drive in lab. Transfer
final copies of your files into your my101files folder (in your H drive) in lab by the due date. You will be
graded on the correctness of your code as well as content, so be creative.
Create two web pages, each about a different tech topic selected from the list above. For the topic you
select, provide a well-rounded overview including what the topic is about, its applications, pros and
cons, and challenges it may be facing. The information you present must be a summary of your
findings in your own words with limited direct quotes. All direct quotes must be clearly marked and
referenced.
Each web page must incorporate the following elements:
An XHTML comment at the top that includes your name, your section number, and your lab
instructor’s name.
A header title (use the title tags inside the head section).
Four paragraphs. Each paragraph must contain at least eight sentences of reasonable length.
Links to two pages on the web that relate to the page’s topic.
Link each page to the other page you created using the hyperlink tags.
A nested list on any of the pages you create. You must use both ordered and unordered lists to
construct the nested list.
A definition list on any of the pages you create.
