Introduction
This assignment is designed to be sure you know how to use your account to do projects for this course. See the TREE Lab Information web page to see how to log into your account and make sure it is working correctly. That page also has a link to the Working From Off Campus web page if you want to do your work outside the lab.
If you are not familiar with Dreamweaver, consult the Dreamweaver Setup web page, and follow the directions there for setting up a Dreamweaver site for this course.
The Assignment
First, download the template.zip file for the course from the course schedule page, and extract the template.xhtml file into your My Website directory. Using Dreamweaver, duplicate this file, and change the name from Copy of template.xhtml to index.xhtml. Visit your website using Firefox, and verify that the index page displays properly.
Set up two additional directories under My Website (assuming you already set up one named images when you set up your Dreamweaver site). Name them css (for your stylesheets) and scripts (for your JavaScript and PHP script files). Create a file named assignment_01.js in the scripts directory, and put an alert() call in it. Link the script to your index page, and verify that the dialog box is displayed each time you load the index page.
Submit The Assignment
When your assignment is working, log out and be sure your profile is copied back to the server. Send me an email message telling me that you have completed the assignment, and I will get a copy of it from your account on Oak for testing. If your roaming profile does not work, mention that in your email, and I will copy your My Website directory from your home directory instead of your profile directory on Oak.
