Exercise 8
Slide Show Using PHP and JavaScript
Resources for this exercise:
- See the Course Schedule for due date. Exercises are due before the beginning of class on the due date.
- See the Homework Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for answers to questions about homework exercises.
In this exercise you will download, configure, install, and use a slide show PHP script that creates a Web-based slide show from a directory of your digital photos and images. This means, of course, that you will need to start with some images. This slide show also uses JavaScript.
1) Go to:
http://www.zinkwazi.com/wp/scripts/
and download PHPSlideshow.
2) Follow the directions and install a slide show of at least 10 pictures.
2) The pags must contain the XHTML 1.0 Strict DocType, as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
3) The pages must contain links (either buttons or text links) to the HTML and CSS validators. See How to Put HTML and CSS Validate Buttons on Your Page for information on how I want you to to do this. (Use the block of code on this page to make the button links or text links, so that clicking on the links automatically lets you know if the page validates or not.)
4) This page must display your name and say "Exercise 8."
5) The pages' <title> must indicate that these are your
exercise 8 pages, so they should say something like "John Sky's DM160C Exercise
8".
6) These pages must contain a relative link to your home page.
9) Make sure the HTML on this page validates (using the XHTML 1.0 Strict DocType) with no errors, according to the W3C's online HTML Validator at http://validator.w3.org/. You can easily do this by clicking on your HTML validator button. For more information, see How to Use the W3C HTML and CSS Validators for step-by-step directions.
10) If you have used any CSS, make sure the CSS used with this page validates, with no errors, according to the W3C's online CSS Validator at: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html. You can easily do this by clicking on your CSS validator button. See the CSS section of How to Use the W3C HTML and CSS Validators for step-by-step directions.
11) If there are any errors, fix them, re-upload the page, and validate it again.
12) Make sure your home page has a working link to all your completed exercises, including this exercise, and that the HTML and CSS on your home page validates.
13) Submit the feedback form. To receive credit for this exercise you must submit thi feedback form before it expires. This exercise is due on 4/21/08. Allowing for a one-day grace period, the form will expire at the end of the day following the due date, which means the form for this exercise will expire at 12:00 AM on 04/23/08.
