Lab Test Review

You will be allowed to create a one sheet (8 ½ x 11) crib sheet for this test. (one side) The sheet must not include complete html code for a particular problem but may include tags and various one line instructions. Example: table tags, css formats, anchor tags (links) img tags, common character entities etc. You may want to include some information about forms! To use this, you must create this sheet and turn it in to the instructor two days before the test. The professor will return this to you on exam day. If it contains complete code or other things not deemed proper, the professor will not return the sheet and you will not have a sheet for the test .

This sheet should serve you as a guide for every web page you develop and thus the efficiency and usefulness of its context is important. Please take your time and create a great crib sheet that you can use for the rest of this course and for you work as a Web page creator.

You should be very familiar with the various types of forms: text, radio, drop down menu etc. A good example is Example 2.8 on page 26 of your text and the Betty’s Bakery problem (Lab 2 Program 2 page 31). Study these very carefully

You will also need to know how to develop and layout blocks on a page. You will also need to be familiar with the creation of external css files and how to link html to css files. You should be familiar with generic block design and be able to create a web page from those designs. Good examples are Lab 4 problems 1 (honeymoon example) page 64, problems 2 page 65, and problems 3 page 66.

You should be familiar with basic html tags and basic css formats and attributes. Know how to create css text and the formats that are used. Good example would be the .css you created for the honeymoon.html (Lab 4 problem 1 page 64).

In addition to the lab problems there will be two objective written tests (all three tests will be given on different days. The first written test (HTML/CSS) will require you to be able to spot potential errors in the html code. You should know the rules of block and inline tags and the structure of blocks and nested blocks. You should also be familiar with the various tags and css styles studied in class. You may be asked to write some brief HTML and CSS code. The lab portion of the test will not include Java. The second written test will be all Java. You should be familiar with the following javascript concepts: variables, parameters, event handling routines, expressions, the write statement etc.

Your instructor will give you a review time in class for all sections of the Mid-term.
