Week Three Exercises (MGDP2060)
This article contains exercises for week three of Web Design and Development III (MGDP2060).
Contents
MAMP
Run MAMP, confirm it works with your files.
Upload all your work to the web server
Login credentials
Get login credentials from instructor.
Warning - the entire class is sharing a single username and password!
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Configure your FTP client:
- Create a subfolder for your work
- Do all your work here
- Do not rely upon this as a backup copy of your work -- it is vulnerable
- Take care not to overwrite or delete folder of other students
Close your FTP client when not in use, in order to free up the connection.
Form exercise (for next week)
In your local root folder, create a new folder named form-cross-domain.
In this folder, create a new document named index.html.
Make the document an HTML5 page. Use standard styles, layout, etc. -- see Web page conventions (MGDP2060).
Create a form which submits to a different domain on the Internet.
- Any site of your choice
- For example: Wikipedia, Google, IMDB
You can use View Source or Inspect Element to copy-and-paste the <form> element, and its contents, which can then paste into your own page.
- You will (probably, depending on the site) need to change the form's
actionproperty to specify a fully qualified URL.
Upload to server. Test, confirm it works.
