October 9, 2007

Name: ________________________________________________________________

UD Email: _____________________________________________@ udel.edu

Do not write your name on any page except this one.

Answer the multiple choice questions on the scantron sheet.

Answer the remaining questions on this paper directly.

Total Points: ???

A hint about allocating your time:

You need to answer 100 points worth of questions in 75 minutes, so....

• if a question is worth 4 points, it should take 2 minutes or less
• if a question is worth 30 points, it should take 15 minutes or less
• etc...

That will allow you to complete 100 points worth of questions in 50 minutes.
Then you'll have 25 minutes left over so that you can either

• leave early, or
• take up to 25 minutes to look over your work and check it for accuracy.

Short Answer: HTML

Short Answer: Absolute vs. Relative path names and links

(p. 35 of the Unix, Visual Quickstart Guide, 3rd Edition, p. 138-139 of the Head First HTML book, Lecture Notes 10/04/07)

2. (10 pts) In the space below, briefly explain the difference between an absolute URL and a relative URL for a web page. Your answer should include (a) how to tell them apart, (b) what each one means, (c) where each one would be used.
   
   In your answer, do not confuse absolute and relative URLs with the related—but different—concept of absolute vs. relative file/directory paths in Unix. Be sure you confine your answer to discussing absolute vs. relative URLs.

Instructions for Question 1

1. (8 pts) Be sure that your page has the following elements, all nested properly, and in the proper order: body, head, html, title.
   • I've given you these elements in alphabetical order
   • This is not necessarily the order in which they need to appear
   • You need to figure out what the proper order and nesting is for those four elements
2. (10 pts) Put all the text inside the body element, and in appropriate tags to indicate whether it is a regular paragraph, or a heading. Be sure your heading tags are at the right level for the outline of the information.
3. (8 pts) Use the appropriate tags to make a bullet list of the next three games—namely <li> elements for each item, all nested inside one big <ul> element (unordered list).
4. (5 pts) Use an hr elements (with a self-closing tag) to separate the main content from the "by Tracy Jordan" byline.
5. (3 pts) Use an <em> tag to markup the text away so that it is emphasized (and by default, appears in italics).
6. (3 pts) Use the approrpiate HTML element to make the word "details" be a linke to a web page called nextGame.html stored on the same server, and in the same directory as the page you are editing.
7. (3 pts) Use the appropriate HTML element to make the word "Monmouth" be a link to the Monmouth university website, www.monmouth.edu
