Lesson # 5- Viewing, copying, and
modifying source code
Step1:
Find 3 websites that you
like…not search engines and sites like AOL, MSN, etc. Either write down the
addresses or add them to your favorites.
Step 2:
Use the View, source feature of
the browser to see the HTML code of one page on each of the 3 sites.
Step 3:
Look at the code and find the
required elements (HTML, Title, Head, Body).
Step 4:
Find at least 3 tags from each
of the 3 sites that are new to you or that look cool.
Step 5:
Copy the code from each site and
paste it all into a NOTEPAD file. Save
it on the desktop as “codeplay.html”
Step 6:
Open the “codeplay.html” file in
your browser and see what it looks like.
Does it look the same as the original site: If not, can you tell why?
Step 7:
Make some changes (at least
change 5 or 6 lines) to the text and/or code as you wish, save it, and look at
it in the browser.
Step 8:
Upload the modified
“codeplay.html” to your web space and make a link on your home page. Test the
link to make sure it works.
Step 9:
Send an email to [email protected] notifying me that you have completed Lesson #5 and that the link is finished and working.
