Welcome to CSC150 Lab 5



This is the third UNIX/HTML lab. Your will add to the web page that you created previously. If you were not in class last time you must complete lab4 today and do lab5 on your own later.


1. Using XLiveCD (or putty), open a ssh terminal window and log on as was done last week. If you don't recall how, see lab 3.

2. Change to your public_html directory and open your index.html file in nano as you did last week.

3. Now you may begin to edit your page using the html tags discussed in class. You have some degree of freedom in what you code into your page. However, your page must include the following elements:


  1. A heading using one of the header tags (ie. the <H1> tag).
  2. The horizontal rule tag.
  3. Use of either the <pre> or the <blockquote> tags.
  4. Use of the bgcolor, text, link, vlink and alink attributes to the body tag. (Note: Please make your text, link, visited link and active link colors different). Use hexidecimal color codes. For a list of hexidecimal codes see this page.
  5. An image (.gif or .jpg) found somewhere on the internet. You will need to ftp that file to to your public_html directory (or another directory of your choosing) on numbers.
  6. A hyperlink to a local page. That is, a link to another page in your public_html directory. You will have to open another terminal by left clicking the green background and choosing xterm, log on (with the ssh -X <username>@numbers command), change to you public_html directory and create an entirely new .html document in emacs (or nano).
  7. A hyperlink to a page not on numbers. That is, a page elsewhere on the internet.
  8. One word of text that is bolded using the b tags.
  9. A list (ordered or unordered) that includes at least 4 list items.

I will be available to answer questions about any tags that were discussed in class.
