What’s On the CD-ROM
This book’s CD-ROM includes the source code from all the examples in this book, the HTML 4.01 Weekend Crash Course Assessment Test, and a few supplemental programs that may be of interest to you as you program with HTML. The fol-
lowing sections briefly explain each component of the CD-ROM.
To display one of your own files, such as the Web pages you create in this weekend crash course, don’t use the http:// prefix followed by a Web page address in your browser’s address bar. Instead, simply type your own computer’s disk and directory. You might type C:\html\Barkley.htm to view the Barkleys’ Web page that you’ve created, assuming the page resides in the HTML directory of drive C and that you’ve named the file Barkley.htm.
Source Code Listings
The sample source code for the book is included on the CD-ROM. There is a folder for each session in the book that contains an HTML code listing. Each folder contains the HTML file listing that you can load directly into your Web browser by issuing the File Open command. The images used throughout this book are stored in the images folder. The Barkley Family Web Site’s pages are also included in its entirety in the folder named Barkley, with its own images folder. The Barkley home page is named index.htm.
As you work through the sessions that explore the Barkley Web site, you must adjust any file locations referenced in the code to match the location where you copy the Barkley Family Web page.
HTML 4.01 Weekend Crash Course Assessment Test
The CD-ROM contains 60 multiple-choice questions with answers. These questions serve two purposes. You can use these test questions to assess how much HTML knowledge you already have and thereby determine what sessions you can skip. You can also go through them after reading individual sessions or this book in its entirety to assess how much you have learned. The questions are organized by session; therefore they follow the order of topics discussed in this book. The session that each question corresponds with is noted next to each question.
Color Chart
To accent your HTML programming as you explore this weekend crash course, use the CD-ROM’s color chart to help you locate the exact color codes you want to place on your Web pages. Inside the CD-ROM folder named Colors, is an HTML file named Color Chart.htm that you can load into your browser. The color chart displays the 216 Web-safe colors as well as their hexadecimal values.
