Lists and Characters

CGS 2820C
Web Development #07 Grading Criteria for: Lists and Special Characters
Name this page transcript.htm and upload it to your website. Link transcript.htm to your Nav or to resume.htm

Description: This is a continuation of your first assignments as you build a 5-page Business or Personal website for yourself or for a real or perspective client. You will make a Transcript and References page that is linked to your resume.htm page or your main Nav. The transcript.htm page will have the same <nav> navigation, <header> masthead/banner and external cascading stylesheet (.css) as your Home page and Resume.

Use an Unordered List to display all your college courses and your grade for each course. Then on the bottom of the same page you will use an Ordered List to display at least two personal or business References. Finally, you will add some special characters. Everything for this assignment will be on the same page.

Make transcript.htm look attractive with real content. It will have the same masthead, styles and navigation as your home page. The navigation should be attractive and professional, with a hover effect. Consider a font size between 1.5 and 2em without underlined links.

Below is one way to save time and also make your pages consistent:

Save your refined index.htm as transcript.htm so it will have the same <header>, <footer>, <nav>, and css...
Delete the specific content from the index page.
Make sure the <title> tag, <meta> tags and <h1> are changed to be specific to the transcript page.
Place the transcript content within the <main> element inside the <body>.
Later you may choose to add a hyperlink on your resume.htm page which will link to transcript.htm. Or you can add the link to your main navigation.

This is a Web Development class. By now you must have a live online website.
Your assignment will not be graded if it is not live, on your website.

Add an Unordered list to your new transcript.htm page that will list the semester, each of your college courses, and the (grade) received. This is designed to be both a assignment on Lists and also something that will be personally beneficial to you. If you have 20 courses, and you do not feel like listing all of them, perhaps just list the most important ones.

For example, the code below:
<h2>The State College of Florida</h2>
<ul style="list-style:square">
<li>F2022 CGS 2820C Web Page Development (A)</li>
<li>F2022 COP 2170 Visual BASIC (B)</li>
</ul>

Produces the output below:

The State College of Florida

F2022 CGS 2820C Web Page Development (A)
F2022 COP 2170 Visual BASIC (B)

See Notepad Tutorial: Lists

20 pts

<ul> with list-style

Add real and relative content

If you know how - it is best to use an external stylesheet to define all <ul> tag styles for a site. We will cover external stylesheets shortly

(p 66-70)

list-style-image:url
This variation of the <ul> tag uses a small image instead of bullets or squares or circles.

Note: This Transcript and References assignment is designed to be both instructive and potentially of personal value to you. If for some reason you currently do not have professors who would recommend you consider stating:

To Be Provided Later
Or
Future Name to be Announced

Add an Unordered list to the middle of on your Transcript page that uses a list-style-image:url and displays professors who have agreed to give you letters of recommendation. Find and be sure to upload an appropriate image, but do not use the pointing image shown below.

For example, the code below:
<h2>Professors who agreed to give me a recommendation</h2>
<ul style="list-style-image:url(images/point.gif)">
<li> Professor Allan Adams, Art Department</li>
<li> Professor Ben Baker, Biology Department</li>
</ul>

Produces the output below:

Professors who agreed to give me a recommendation

Professor Allan Adams, Art Department
Professor Ben Baker, Biology Department

10 pts

<ul> with list-style-image instead of a bullet

Add real and relative content

(p 334)

decimal

Add an Ordered list, with your choice of a list-style type, (but do not use the default 1, 2, 3) on the bottom your page to display at least two personal or business References.

For example, the code below:
<h2>References</h2>
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman">
  <li>Cindy Cowen, Supervisor ABC Inc, 941 555-1456</li>
  <li>Debra Doonan, Owner XYZ corp, 941 555-1234</li>
  <li>Ernie Eiger, Manager Micky D's. 941-987-6543</li>
</ol>

(p 67)

Unordered Lists are commonly used with the <nav> tag element to facilitate responsive web designs for mobile devices, tablets and desktop PCs. The code below will produce a simple responsive navigation displaying vertical block navigation for smartphones and horizontal inline navigation display for larger screens. It uses a media query in the stylesheet.

Note the Responsive Nav CSS:
display:block for mobile/phone
display:inline for PCs
Use a Media Query to display the nav appropriately for different devices.

View in your browser, then RESIZE THE WINDOW (drag the side so it is narrower/wider) after you use the code at right to see how it responds. If you correctly add the Viewport and code the Media Query, the Nav should be horizontal on a PC and vertical in portrait on a smart phone or a resized narrow window on a PC.

Modify the code at right by adding your own font styles, colors and background colors.

For Responsive Design, to set the width of the viewport to the width of the device, add to the <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

In the stylesheet, define mobile devices first:


	nav {width:100%; text-align:center}

	nav a {display:block; width:30%;
text-decoration:none;}
/* display:block 
	  = top to bottom */

	nav li {list-style:none}

	nav li a {border:2px #AAA solid; padding:6px}

	  @media only screen and (min-width:640px){

	nav a {display:inline}
/* display:inline = left to 
	  right */

	nav li {display:inline; padding:0 18px}

	  } /* Close 640 Media Query 
	  for larger screens */

In the body:

<nav>

	    <ul>

         <li><a href="index.htm">

Home

</a></li>

         <li><a href="resume.htm">

Resume

</a></li>

         <li><a href="contact.htm">

Contact

</a></li>

        </ul>

      </nav>

Note: this is just one part of Responsive Web Design

10 pts
<ul> & <li> for <nav>

Add your color and your font styling to <nav> in the external css

Organize your external css and html for the current HTML5 elements:

Resize the window to confirm Nav is responsive: @media

The nav on a desktop will be horizontal. The nav on mobile device will be vertical

Use px, em, %
somewhere on the Transcript page. Sizes
px: (pixel) the default size. Ex: width:780px; or padding:4px; or border:2px;

Special characters are characters and symbols that are not on the typical keyboard such as the cent sign or degree symbol or copyright symbol.

Add at least two (2) different special characters. For example: © displays the copyright symbol.
Copyrighted © by Floyd Jay Winters
Use a span around the special characters to make them purple, bold and 1.3 times their normal size, so that I can easily find them, and you will feel comfortable with the <span> tag. See above and below:
color:purple; font-weight:bold; font-size:1.3em
See Notepad Tutorial: Special Characters

10 pts (5 pts each)
Special Characters

There is a ; at end of each special character

(p 193-194)

Note 1: Once the grade for this project has been recorded in the assignment dropbox you can delete the items that you may not want on your webpage, such as the lists, or the subscript, superscript, or the special characters.
Note 2: A wise person will keep multiple backups of their files. Ctrl + C (copy) and Ctrl + V (paste) is very easy. You can back up your individual files that way, or even an entire folder.

Make transcript.htm look attractive with real content. It will have the same <header> masthead, <footer>, <nav>, and linked css file as your home page and resume page. Add real and relative content, color, images and styles. Make it look like a college student is working on this project.
Link transcript.htm to the bottom of resume.htm
Upload to the canvas dropbox Subject box the full address path,
such as: http://YourSiteName.com/transcript.htm (10)
Make sure it works. Test it on a desktop, and on your cell phone and multiple browsers.

Deprecated (outdated and replaced) tags will not be accepted in this course.
ALL tags should be in lower case.

Create your code according to current HTML 5 standards. Do NOT use: ~~<center>~~, ~~<font>~~, or the ~~bgcolor~~ attribute.
Use instead: <h3 style="text-align:center; font-family:arial; background-color:#FF0">
Or even better, add the following to your stylesheet:
h3 {text-align:center; font-family:arial; background-color:#FF0} -5 for each use

Organize your css and html for the current HTML5 elements:
<header>
<nav>
<main>
<footer>

Test on multiple browsers: such as Edge, FireFox, Chrome, Safari and on a smart phone.

Use a File Manager or FTP to transfer your .htm files to the public_html folder of your online website.

When done uploading, paste the complete URL website address (http://yourDomain/transcript.htm) of your project into the Title and Message portion of the SCF Canvas [Assignment Dropbox] for this assignment so that I can easily copy and paste it into my browser when I grade it.
