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.

• Insert four option buttons belonging to the subplan field.
• Give the option buttons the ids plan1 through plan4 and the values 1 through 4.
• After each option button, insert a label element associated with the preceding option button. The text of the four labels is “6 mo./$24”, “12 mo./$45”, “18
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.

• Place both selection lists in the floatCtrl class.
• Add 12 options to the expMonth selection list containing the text “01” through “12”. The values of the options should range from 1 to 12.
• Add five options to the expYear selection list containing the text “2011” through “2015”. Set the values of each option to match the option text.
