The Park City Gazette Kevin Webber, the editor of the Park City Gazette of Estes Park, Colorado, has asked for your help in developing a subscription page for the newspaper’s Web site. The page includes a form where customers can enter the length of the subscription they want to purchase, their mailing address, and their credit card information. Kevin has already created much of the layout and text of the Web page. Your job is to add the fields and control elements for the subscription form. A preview of the Web page you’ll create for Kevin is shown in Figure 6-60.

The form contains several labels and control elements placed side-by-side in two columns. To create this two-column layout, you’ll float the labels and control elements on the left margin. You’ll identify the labels that are floated by putting them into the float-Label class. The floated control elements will belong to the floatCtrl class.

Complete the following:
1. Use your text editor to open the sformtxt.css and subtxt.htm files from the tutorial.06\case1 folder included with your Data Files. Enter your name and the date in the comment section of each file. Save the files as sform.css and subscription.htm, respectively, in the same folder.
2. Go to the subscription.htm file in your text editor and insert a link to the sform.css style sheet.
3. Scroll down the file and insert a form element with the id subForm, directly below the paragraph in the rightColumn div container.
4. At the top of the form, Kevin wants an option list showing the four different payment plans. Insert a field set with the id subPlans. Within the field set do the following:
• Insert four option buttons belonging to the subplan field.
• Give the option buttons the ids plan1 through plan4 and the values 1 through 4.

mo./$64", and "24 mo./$80 (best value)".
5. After the subPlans field set, insert a label containing the text "Name". Associate the label with the cName field and put it in the class floatLabel.
6. After the label, insert an input box for the cName field. Place the input box in the floatCtrl field and set the size of the input box to 50 characters.
7. Insert another label containing the text "Address" associated with the address field and belonging to the floatLabel class. After the label, insert a text area box for the address field. Set the size of the box to six rows by 50 columns and place the text area box in the floatCtrl field.
8. Insert a label with the id agreeLabel associated with the agree field. Place the label in the floatLabel class. Within the label element, insert a check box for the agree field. After the check box, but within the label element, insert the text "Yes, I wish to pay online by entering my credit card information below."
9. Insert a field set with the id payment. At the top of the field set, insert a label belonging to the floatLabel class, containing the text "Credit Card" and associated with the cardType field.
10. Insert a selection list for the cardType field. Do the following for the selection list:
• Place the selection list in the floatCtrl class.
• Set the selection list to display four items.
• Add the following options to the selection list: American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.

New Perspectives on HTML and XHTML Tutorial 4 Case Problem 3 Solution

Data Files needed for this Case Problem: image0.jpg – image9.jpg, longstxt.htm, and lpmap.jpg
Longs Peak Interactive Map Longs Peak is one of the most popular attractions of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). Each year during the months of July, August, and September, thousands of people climb Longs Peak by the Keyhole Route to reach the 14,255-foot summit. Ron Bartlett, the head of the RMNP Web site team, has asked for your help in creating an interactive map of the Keyhole Route. The map will be installed at electronic kiosks in the park’s visitor center. Ron envisions a map with 10 numbered waypoints along the Keyhole Route, displaying photos and text descriptions of each waypoint when a mouse pointer hovers over its corresponding numbered point. Figure 4-59 shows a preview of the online map with the first waypoint highlighted by the user.

Ron also wants to create a print version of the waypoint descriptions. Users can print the map elsewhere on the park’s Web site, so he wants the print style sheet to display just the list of waypoints in a bulleted list.

Complete the following:
1. Use your text editor to open the longstxt.htm file from the tutorial.04\case3 folder included with your Data Files. Enter your name and the date in the comment section at the top of the file. Save the file as longs.htm in the same folder. Take some time to study the contents of the file. Notice that the waypoint descriptions are nested within the online_map div container. Each waypoint description has been placed in a separate div container with the class name notes and id names ranging from point0 to point9.
2. To create a rollover effect for the nine waypoints, you need to mark the waypoint contents as hyperlinks.Within each of the nine div containers, enclose the img element and paragraph element within a single <a> tag. Point each link to the longs.htm file so that if a user clicks the link, it will simply refresh the currentWeb page.
3. Add a style to the embedded style sheet at the top of the file to remove underlining from all hypertext links.
4. Currently the online_map div container does not display the Longs Peak map. Add the following style to the embedded style sheet to display the map:
• Set the width of the container to 600 pixels wide by 294 pixels high.
• Add a 1-pixel-wide solid black border to the container.
• Apply the lpmap.jpg graphic file as the background image.
• Use relative positioning to place the container on the page. Set the top and left coordinates to 0 pixels.
5. In the embedded style sheet, add the following styles for all of the div containers belonging to the notes class:
• For paragraphs nested within each note, set the font size to 8 points and the margin to 5 pixels.
• Set the font color to yellow for each span element nested within a note.
6. For each link nested within a notes class element, apply the following styles:
• Set the width and height of the link to 20 pixels.
• Hide any content that overflows the boundary of the link.
• Set the background color to blue and the font color to white.
• Set the z-index value to 1.
7. When the mouse hovers over a link within a notes class element, have the browser apply the following style:
• Change the width to 150 pixels and the height to 170 pixels.
• Change the overflow property to visible.
• Set the z-index value to 2.
8. Use absolute positioning to place the link nested within the #point0 selector at the coordinates (560, 60).
9. Repeat Step 8 for the nine remaining waypoints:
• #point1 at (277, 90)
• #point2 at (175, 0)
• #point3 at (110, 115)
• #point4 at (55, 165)
• #point5 at (5, 180)
• #point6 at (15, 222)
• #point7 at (50, 245)
• #point8 at (100, 245)
• #point9 at (90, 220)
10. Go to the top of the file and add a media attribute to the embedded style sheet indicating that the sheet is designed for screen and tv media.
11. Save your changes to the file and then open longs.htm in your Web browser. Verify that the placement of the waypoints follows the locations shown in Figure 4-59. Confirm that when you hover your mouse over each of the nine waypoints, a description of the waypoint appears on the top of the trail map.
12. Return to the longs.htm file in your text editor. Create a new embedded style sheet designed for print media.
13. Scroll down to the “Longs Peak Online Trail Map” h2 heading and enclose the text “Online Trail Map” within a span element.
14. Add the following styles to the embedded print style sheet:
• Set the font family for the page body to sans-serif.
• Remove underlining from all hypertext links.
• Do not display the #instructions selector, the span element nested within the h2 element, or the img element nested within elements belonging to the notes class.
• Display the notes class of elements as list items with a disc marker. Set the margin to 20 pixels.
• Change the display property of paragraphs nested within the notes class of elements to inline.
• Display span elements nested within the notes class of elements in a bold font.
15. Add a style that inserts the text string “Trail Itinerary” after the h2 heading.
16. Save your changes to the file.
17. Refresh the longs.htm file in your Web browser. By either printing the page or viewing the page within the Print Preview window, confirm that the printed page only shows a bulleted list of the waypoint descriptions. If you are running Firefox, Opera, or Safari, confirm that the heading at the top of the page reads “Longs Peak Trail Itinerary.” (If you are using Internet Explorer, the title will simply read “Longs Peak.”)
18. Submit your completed files to your instructor.

3. In this project, you will create a floating text box.
a. Copy the floatactivity.html file from the Chapter06 folder provided with your Data Files to the Chapter06 folder in your work folder. (Create the Chapter06
folder, if necessary.)
b. Open the file floatactivity.html in your HTML editor, and save it in your work folder as floatactivity1.html.
c. In your browser, open the file floatactivity1.html. When you open the file, it looks like Figure 6-30.
Figure 6-30 Original HTML file for Project 3
d. Examine the page code. Notice that an existing style rule sets a background-color for a floatbox class, as shown in the following code fragment:
.floatbox {background-color: #ccddee;}
e. This class is applied to the first <p> element in the document, as shown in Figure 6-30. Your goal is to use a variety of box properties to create a finished page that looks like Figure 6-31.
Figure 6-31 Completed HTML file for Project 3
f. Use the following properties to create the finished floating text box:
• width
• height
• float
• padding
• margin-right
• border
• text-align
Experiment with the different properties until you achieve results that look as close to the finished page as possible.

4. In this project, you will have a chance to test the border properties. Save and view the file in your browser after completing each step.
a. Using your HTML editor, create a simple HTML file (or open an existing file) that contains heading and paragraph elements. Save the file in your Chapter06
folder as borders.html.
b. Add a <style> element to the <head> section as shown in the following code:
<head>
<title>CSS Test Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
</style>
</head>
c. Experiment with the different border styles. Start by applying any of the following style rules to your document’s elements:
h1 {border: solid 1px black;}
h2 {border-top: solid 1px; border-bottom: solid 3px;}
p {border-left: double red; border-right: solid 1px;}
d. Experiment with adding padding properties to your style rules to off set the borders from the text. The following style rules have sample padding properties
to try:
h1 {border: solid 1px black; padding: 20px;}
h2 {border-top: solid 1px; border-bottom: solid 3px;
padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 30px;}
p {border-left: double red; border-right: solid 1px;
padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 20px;}
e. Continue to experiment with the border and padding properties. Try adding color and margin properties to see how the elements are displayed.
