More HTML and Web Design

Good Web design begins with the formulation of a style plan. Who is your targeted audience? What is your page content? Which HTML Editor, if any, are you going to be using? Decide how you want your page to look. Are templates available? You might decide to use Cascading Stylesheets rules for some of your formatting. (CSS1 or CSS2)

HTML Links

The HiTMilL's HTML pages for beginner's as well as most other HTML topics are located at http://www.hitmill.com/html/. Both Internet Explorer and Firefox support some but not all of the technologies of DHTML. The Amaya browser is a browser at the World Wide Web Corsortium (W3C.ORG) used to test and implement Web technologies. A free current version of the Amaya browser can be downloaded from w3c.org and installed on your own home computer. Students must discuss any lab or school installation with your instructor who may contact the network administrator. Never attempt installations of your own on computers belonging to a school. Instructors will need to make arrangements with the school's network administrator (or designated department chair) to get the Amaya browser installed.

HTML editors and the FrontPage links are currently located at the HTML Editors page.
