IT 238 -- Project 0

Create Directory for IT 238 Projects

• Create an HTML directory page that contains links to IT 238 project pages. In addition to a link for each page, include the project number and project title for each image.
• Include at least one image on your directory page. For example, you can include a picture of yourself. Reduce the size of a large image to less than about 25K. To change the size of an image, you can use MS Paint for Windows and Apple Photos for Mac.
• Create a CSS style file that sets the colors and fonts for your directory and project pages.
• Also create stub pages for projects 1a and 1b that represent the project pages that will be posted later, something like this:

Project 1a -- Test Calculation Function

Project to be submitted by April 14.

Back to Projects Directory

• Optionally, you can create stub files for all project pages for this course.
• The files for each project should be in its own folder (proj1a and proj1b), including HTML, CSS, and image files.
• Best practice is to have a common CSS file for all projects, but to supplement it with project-specific CSS files as needed.
• When a link to a project is clicked in the directory page, the project page can open up in the same window (default behavior is target="_self") or it can open up in a new window (target="_blank").
• Submit a zipfile of your project folders. Name your zipfile proj0Smith.zip.
• Using FileZilla, upload your project files and folders to the CDM server with this URL:
  

  sftp://studentweb.cdm.depaul.edu
  

• When you submit your zipfile, also submit a comment with the URL of your project directory on the student server, for example:
  

  studentweb.cdm.depaul.edu/ssmith7/it238/index.htm
  

• Include source comments in all your source code files (index.htm and styles.css), including a header in each file with your name, project number, and submit date. Example headers:
  

  <!-- Stan Smith   HTML Header
       Jan 15, 2026
       Project 0 -->
  
  /* Stan Smith     CSS Header
     Jan 15, 2026
     Project 0 */
  
  // Stan Smith     JavaScript Header
  // Jan 15, 2026
  // Project 0
