Lab 5: Practice with Linking

Instructions:

1. Download the zip archive for Lab 5 to the desktop.
2. Unzip the archive's contents to the desktop by double-clicking on the file and selecting the desktop as the location for where the contents should be placed.
3. You should have a lab5 folder on your desktop now. Open the index.html file inside the lab5 folder in Notepad.
4. Follow the instructions on that index.html page and add the indicated links. You will know that you have the relative links working properly because the files you are linking to already exist and clearly state what file you have reached.
5. You will also need to modify the link3.html in the lab5/test/examples/ directory, which gives you practice with linking going up directory levels.
6. Modify your lab4.html file and include within-page links; use both approaches shown in lecture to get some practice.
7. Copy the lab5 directory (and all its subdirectories, of course) to your labs directory on the student server.
8. Now re-test all your links on the server. This is necessary because the server is case-sensitive and your local computer is not, so a relative link that works locally may break when it is on the server.
9. Make sure that your removable media has these same changes made and that it matches your files on the student server exactly. Discrepanies between the two will almost definitely result in lost work, frustration, and broken links in the future.
