Course Description
HTML 4.01: Web
Authoring, Level 2 (Second Edition) is
the second course in the HTML series. It will build on the concepts you learned
in HTML 4.01: Web Authoring,
Level 1 (Second Edition) and give you an
opportunity to apply your new skills.
In this course, you will use HTML tables, which you learned how to create
in Level 1, to lay out the contents of your Web pages. You will create new
and different kinds of hypertext links, expanding on your existing understanding
of links between Web pages. You will create forms and add dynamic and multimedia
content to your pages in order to increase the interactivity and appeal of
your Web pages. And, you will apply Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) formatting
to elements in new ways and harness the true power of CSS by applying the same
styles to multiple documents.
Course Objective: You will design Web pages by creating table-based layouts, navigation
elements, and forms, and you will enhance pages by applying Cascading Styles
Sheets formatting and adding dynamic content.
Target Student: Persons who already know how to create basic Web pages that want
to increase the complexity of their layouts and navigation, create forms,
and enhance their pages with basic CSS and dynamic content.
