Frontend Web Development

Assignment for Week 1

Create a file called index.html and a file called style.css.

In index.html, add a doctype and an <html> element.

Inside that <html> element, add a <head> element and a <body> element.

Inside the <head> element, add a <title> element and put the title of the page inside it.

Inside the <body> element, add a <h1> element and put the main heading of the page inside it.

Inside the <body> element, after the <h1> element, add a <p> element and put a few sentences inside it.

Inside the <p> element, surround some words in an <a> element.

Add an href attribute to the <a> opening tag, and make its value your favorite website. Don't forget the http://.

Include the CSS file in the <head> of the HTML file by using a <link> element. Add a href attribute and set its value to the filename of your CSS file. Add a rel attribute and set its value to stylesheet.

Create a CSS rule:

Set the selector to one of the elements inside the <body>
Add a declaration:
- Set the property to color
- Set the value to your favorite color

Make sure to save both files!

Extra credit:

Add a second rule to the CSS file.
Add a class to an element and write a CSS rule that selects that class.
Create and link a second stylesheet to the HTML file.
Create a CSS rule that selects a specific element that has a specific class name.

We didn't exactly cover the next three in class. You'll have to Google up how to do them:

Create a second HTML file and link to it from the first one.
Give one of the types of elements a different background color.
Specify the human language of the document.
