CGS3175 Assignment 2


In this assignment you will create the shell of your web site. The shell of your web site should have distinct areas for a banner or title for the site (required on the front page only), a navigation area, and a content area.


If you are using frames do the following:

You will create the frames page that divides the viewing window into three viewing frames. Your web site will be pretty empty at this point. We will give you a few pre-canned pages to start you off just in case you dont have any pages of your own built yet.

Create a new file called "cgshome.html". This will be the home page for your web site for this course. This file will contain your <frameset> and <frame> tags for the site. It is the file that divides the window up into different viewing areas. Remember to save it as a text only file.

As discussed in the previous assignment, your frames page must have three sections: a banner section, a navigation section, and a display section. Remember to name each frame in the <frame> tag. Names such as "banner", "navigation", and "display" are preferable and easy to remember in the future.

You probably don't have any pages written yet. You can use these to get you started. You should add a little to them to personalize them, but your grade won't suffer if you simply use them as is. Feel free to rename the files if you wish also.

When viewed, your web site should never display any "cannot find this page" type notices. Each frame should display a page, even if the page is incomplete. Typically people use a page saying something like "This page is under construction!" I have supplied one of these for your use on the course web-site ( here). You can use this page, or one of your own making, as a substitute for any pages that you are not ready for the world to view.

Format: The frames page must be posted on your web site. It must be viewable by using the URL http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~myusername/cgshome.html. Important: If you do not use your Pegasus account to host your CGS3175 web page, still use the cgshome.html page as the last part of the URL accessing your site. You do NOT have to have any completed web pages at this point, but error messages stating that pages cannot be found or viewed are not acceptable. Create your own simple pages or use the pages provided (for now) to avoid this.
