We will create the Final Web and start on the home page and Final page together around Week 6 (Fall). Follow the steps there exactly. Back up your Final Exam Web site on a regular basis to a computer somewhere by publishing back from the server to a hard drive!! Click here for tips.

• Copy and paste this table and the table above it centered into your Final.htm page.
• Delete any examples and screen shots that aren't yours and replace them with your own as you complete each item.
• Organize your Web site by placing all image files in image folder, etc.
• Your home page and all pages in your Web site should be concisely informative and answer the standard journalism questions of who, what, when, where, and why as applicable.
• You must have the home page, forms page, at least one main page in your frameset page, and a minimum of two additional pages completely finished in all aspects of content and design. You must get my approval in advance. Copy this "Under Construction" notice to any pages in which the finished content would end up being very extensive and is beyond what could reasonably be expected time wise for this Web site. Click here and compare the Gifts Page with the Decorations page as an example.

• When your Web site is finished, create a bookmark on the target page. Select the desired item number below beginning with Item 4 and continuing with each Item on this page with this hyperlink picture, and insert a hyperlink to the appropriate target. When I grade your Web site and click the Item hyperlink, I should be taken automatically to a specific page and a specific bookmark on the page where you have used the required FrontPage feature. See Yuko Kondo's Final page as an example.
  Take this warning seriously!! I will not browse through pages and pages of each Web site hoping to stumble upon the feature in question. Add your links!!! A minimum of a 3-point deduction will be taken for each missing hyperlink and you might lose all points completely for that item.

Item 4, Mechanics

• Check the mechanics (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, sentence fluency, etc.) in your Web site with extreme care. Your visitors will judge you immediately on your fluency in the language and will discount a Web site with errors no matter how attractive the site is. 

• I do not have time to proofread your entire site thoroughly and note individual errors; however, if I find more than three mechanical errors in the site, an automatic 10-point deduction will be taken.

• Use "Web site" consistently when you refer to your Web site.

• Place all information on all pages into a centered, borderless 640-pixel table structure (unless I approve an alternative) to align information, pictures, link bars, etc., in a balanced way (pp. 266-303). (Click here for steps if you can't see the bottom of the Insert Table dialog box.)
• Adjust table padding as needed so that the words aren’t jammed up against the edge of visible table borders.

Your Web site's navigational structure should be logical, intuitive, and as simple as possible. The pages should be arranged in order of importance to the visitor. Like pages should be consolidated to reduce the number of pages—remember that less is more when looking at site navigation. Place your link bars centered inside a centered, borderless, 640-pixel table so that it will look balanced on any page (pp. 216-224). Your frameset, banner, contents, and main pages should use the same hierarchy as shown below for Lollipop Gifts, the frameset page for Lollipop Creations.

• Create a navigation structure (pp. 209-215) for your Web site in Navigation view so that FrontPage will generate your link bars for you.
• Do not include user-defined link bars on any page unless I have approved such a change. 

• Use a top shared border (pp. 194-206) that Includes a link bar pointing to the home page and child pages under home.
• Place the content centered inside a 640-pixel, centered, borderless table (p. 266-303).
• The buttons should be titled concisely and clearly so that all characters fit on the picture buttons, match the page titles, and communicate page content.
• Paste a thumbnail screen shot of your top shared border in Page View similar to the example below.

Item 13, Bottom Shared Border

• Use a bottom shared border on all major pages as appropriate (p. 194-206). 

• Place the content inside a 640-pixel, centered, borderless table (p. 266-303). 

• Insert a horizontal line as the first item in the bottom shared border to separate it from the main page. Add an extra row in the table with a hard space in it (Ctrl-Shift-space) if you need more space visually above the horizontal line. Check for large gaps of white space between your page and the bottom border and make adjustments as needed.

• Insert copyright information—If you have copied extensively from another Web site, use the copyright information shown below

• Insert a hit counter or custom hit counter and a revision date field, (p. 389-391).

• Include a picture that will be used as a top-of-page graphical hyperlink similar to this one . (Do not use a text hyperlink to move to the top of the page—only a picture and perhaps add a text label on it with the word Top.) Right-click your selected picture, and click Hyperlink Properties; in the Address box, type #top.

• Paste a thumbnail screen shot of your bottom shared border in Page View similar to the examples below.

Item 15, Frameset Page: 

We will create the frameset pages (pp. 304-314) together and complete the navigation in the Banner and Content frame with custom link bars around Week 12 (Fall). Follow the steps there exactly.

I will check for correct link bars names and filenames as follows: for the frameset page,  Frameset_description.htm; banner page, Frame_Banner.htm; contents page, Frame_Contents.htm; the main pages,  Frame_Main1_description.htm; custom link bar for the contents frame,  Contents Link Bar.  

• Type the title of your frameset page here: Pictures
• All main pages should have a consistent format from page to page for unity of design.
• One main page must be completely finished. An "under construction" picture should appear on all unfinished pages. Extra credit for any other main pages that are completely finished.
• No scroll bars should appear on the banner or contents frame and all information should be visible.
• The target frame for hyperlinks in the banner frame should be set to a whole page
• The target frame for hyperlinks in the content frame should be set to main frame.

• Use one page transition (pp. 118-119).
• Describe the transition, what type of transition you chose, and when it happens (entry, exit, etc.):  I Chose Circle out!! On Page Exit

• Use a FrontPage theme (pp. 225-254) unless I approve a custom design.
• On the Final page, apply a unique theme. (Tips, p. 241)
• Type the name of your theme here: background from Slate theme

Item 22, Form:

• Create a guest book form (pp. 342-356) or some other form named Guest.htm (or some appropriate name) similar to the one on p. 6.10. (Note: Do not use the form we created for Sunny here. Create an original form. Design the form thoughtfully and with unique content related to your Web site topic.)
• Your form must have at least one set of option buttons, one drop-down menu, and one scrolling text box.
• Use recognizable, appropriate names, group names, display names, and values in the properties for each field.
• Title the page Guest Book (or some appropriate title).

• Use at least one form field that requires validation.

• Send form results to your LACC e-mail address. Right-click the form, choose Form Properties, and paste a thumbnail screen shot of the Form Properties window (Alt-Print Screen) in the table below:

• Type the form field name that requires the validation here and describe the validation you are requiring: enter a value in the email field
   

• Paste a thumbnail screen shot of your Validation window (Alt-Print Screen) below.

• 

• Configure the Save Results component to send its results to a csv file and to an htm file both (pp. 342-357).  
• Paste a thumbnail screen shot of your Form Properties window (Alt-Print Screen) and your Options for Saving Results, File Results tab in the second row of the table below.
