  Last Chance

Before
the
final

Verify your attendance. Unexcused absenses will count against your grade. Here's the Art Department policy.

Your final must be up on pixel by the end of the final. No exceptions made. Sorry, but I've only got 3 days to grade 34 assignments.

To be safe, put up your site and test it thoroughly before the final starts.

Also:

  1. Put your assignment up so it will appear at this url:
    http://pixel.csuhayward.edu/art3870/nnn/assignment3
    where your number is substituted for nnn
  2. Don't use height and width attributes as the only method to keep tables and table cells open. Use spacer rows and columns! Failure to do this will result in a full grade drop (15 points of of 100).
  3. Check your links!
  4. Check your spelling!
  5. Optimize your images. That is, make them as good looking as they can be in the smallest file size.
  6. Your site must work on Windows Internet Explorer version 6.0.

This is a long one...

Some interesting points:

  1. There's lots of javascript to determine the browser and platform, and changes made to the stylesheet and column measurements based on the result.
  2. There's several javascript inclusions of advertisings from a central ad server (OAS)
  3. In order to keep something like this constantly updated, they are using some kind of template and automation to create the layout. Otherwise it would take too much time and money to create each edition.
