Introduction to Server Languages
This week we covered the following topics:
In Dreamweaver:
- CSS - postition: absolute
- Really undoing html.css
- Overriding via !important
- Linking vs. embedding CSS
- Name your layers
- Virtual includes
- Application servers and .htaccess
On the Mac:
Regarding Design:
- Two modes of design: Prototyping, Deconstructing
- Lipsum.org
- Prototyping technique: design in graphics tool, then try to reproduce in HTML and CSS
Homework:
- Draw a design on paper, or use another design tool to prototype it first.
- Layout your design using tables and/or layers
- Extract all CSS to another file (use File > Export)
- Carve up your design into reusable elements. Break these elements out into separate files.
- Re-include these elements into your files using virtual includes:
<!--#include virtual="/[foldername]/[filename]" --> - If possible, put the resulting code to your server.
- Email your page URLs (and if necessary, the elements) to the group.

URL? email? spam?
If you enter a URL for yourself, then your comment will have your name listed as a link to a web site. If you enter only an email address, then your name will be linked to your email address. This page uses Movable Type's "Spam Protect" feature which means that your email address is encoded in a way to keep spammers from picking it up while trolling the web. People can still email you individually from your comment, myself included!
