Homework 5: CSS Backgrounds and List Styling

Instructions:

  1. Create an XHTML 1.0 Strict page that describes a task or process. This could be a recipe, directions to a destination, your resumé, a list of courses in different departments, etc.
  2. Have at least 2 levels of lists.
  3. Use CSS to format the lists. Use list-style-type for one of the lists. Locate an image and use list-style-image for another of the lists. Use the public domain image resources from earlier in the semester or your own image.
  4. Implement your CSS using a single external stylesheet, brought in via <link />.
  5. Include some other content for the page to fill out the page and make it more meaningful, i.e. headers, descriptive paragraphs, images, etc.
  6. Incorporate a background color on an element of the page. Make sure the text is still readable; this may requiring specifying a text color too.
  7. Incorporate a background image on an element of the page. Again, make sure the text is still readable.
  8. Your CSS and your XHTML should be valid. CSS warnings you can overlook.
  9. Use XHTML tags appropriately, to show the structure. Streamline your code to be efficient.
  10. Put your name in a meta author tag.
  11. Name your file hw5.html and upload it to your "homeworks" folder on the server.
  12. Make sure that the link on your class page to this homework is functional.
