Homework 2
Due 9/26/00 (midnight)

  1. [Lists, Links, etc.] Create nine folders hw2, hw3, ... hw10 in your public_html directory to contain solutions for the coming homeworks (we might not end up using all of them). Use the Unix commands mkdir and chmod 755 folder_name for this. Also create a page homework.html in your public_html directory which contains a list of (relative) links to the folders (remember to set file permissions, most of the links will be nonfunctional, of course). From now on put the solutions for homework x in folder hwx and update the (relative) link on the homework.html page when you are done.
     
  2. Change into the folder hw2, and create a page named main.html. This page should have a list of (relative) links leading to pages solving exercises 3, and 4 (and possibly 5). Also make sure that the homework 2 link on your homework.html links to this main.html.
     
  3. [Basic Markup] Do exercise 3.4 in the book (p. 94), and arbitrarily color and resize some of the words in the text (using FONT).
     
  4. [Thumbnails] Create a small thumbnail gallery: have at least three thumbnail pictures that if clicked will take the user to a larger version of that picture. Download the pictures from the web (include an acknowledgment in comments, or explicitly), or scan in your own pictures. For resizing use any graphics program, or the attributes HEIGHT and WIDTH of the IMG tag.
     
  5. [Extra Credit] Mark up the following two quotes using special characters: This is an image
