LESSON 19: MORE HEADER TAGS

1. Study the index cards on More Header Tags. I've included a hard copy of these index cards, for your convenience. Be sure you can answer all the questions!
   1. What is the <BASE> tag used for?
   2. Suppose that an HTML document has this tag in its HEAD section: <BASE HREF="http://www.crosswinds.net/~fishcaro/day_19.htm">Then, suppose that the relative URL file1.htm is encountered in the HTML document. What pathname will actually be used to locate the document?
   3. What kind of information can be included in a <META> tag?
   4. Who/what uses META information?
   5. In what part of an HTML document should META information go?
   6. Write the HTML code that would give META information to identify Carol Fisher as the author of a web page.
   7. Write the HTML code that would give META information to identify "math" and "algebra" as keywords for a web page.
2. Do item (A19.4); here, you'll be putting some META information into your homepage.
3. Please read pages 77–80 (from "Accessibility in Web Technologies" to the end of the chapter) in the Weasel book and answer the following questions:
   1. "Accessibility" actually refers to two broad groups: who are they?
   2. What HTML 4.01 elements can help speech devices in the correct interpretation of abbreviations and acronyms?
   3. What HTML 4.01 element makes it easier to give longer text explanations for images?
   4. What company does the Weasel book claim has been at the forefront of the accessibility initiative on the Web?

• "Coding" part:
  (5 pts) Be able to write a BASE tag for an HTML file. For example, I could ask the following:
  Dr. Fisher is uploading a document called "day60.htm" to her website "http://fishcaro.crosswinds.net". The file will be in the "lessons" folder. Write the correct base tag for this situation. Does this base tag go in the HEAD or the BODY of the HTML document?
• (5 pts) Be able to write META information for the following four situations: to identify the author of a website; to give a brief description of a web site; to list keywords for a web site; to give the name and version of the creation tool used to create a website.
• (3 pts) Show me that you've marked the answers to all the questions in your text book.
• (7 pts) Questions from the index cards and reading (see below).
  There will be 8 randomly-chosen questions; you will cross off 1 question.
  The remaining 7 questions are worth 1 point each.
