** Play with Kompozer or another HTML editor (adding some forms)
** Modify the following example. Save both files on your local computer ! If you use Kompozer, you may have to edit in the Source Window since positioning the cursor after a form element seems to be difficult. You also might consider installing Kompozer 0.8beta which includes a split interface. Do '''not''' use Kompozer to edit JavaScript files. Use any programming editor you like, e.g. HTML Notetab.

; Final exam
* HTML 5 Video tag (short info)
* There will be some minimal JS testing in the final exam. However, I require neither that you understand programming principles nor technical DOM details. However, I may ask you to be able to make very small changes in JS code or to adjust some HTML forms code (radio buttons).


'''''Pick either option A or option B''''' !
<!--
* Wikis: the concept, variants
** Visit of some wikis (see wikisites above) + hands-on
** Wikimedia and the [[Mediawiki]] engine, including some visits and hands on Mediawiki
** Wiki politics (editing guidelines and governance)
** Easy online wiki hosting (see [[Wiki#Wiki_hosting Wiki]] (Wiki hosting section)
-->


===== Option A =====


; Task
==== Homework 5 ====
* Create a DHTML page that has a least one button allowing the user to change a style or something else in a page
* You may reuse code from the [[DHTML]] page starting from the [[DHTML#Collections_and_creation_of_elements|Collections and creation of elements]] section. For example, take either one
** [http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/js/ex/dhtml/tree-walking2.html tree-walking2.html] (just color change)
** [http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/js/ex/dhtml/tree-walking3.html tree-walking3.html]


You also can take code made by someone else. In this case, '''dot not forget''' to quote the source and to insure that you are allowed to reuse it. There is a fine line between plagiarism and reuse .....
Create a Flash video with captions


; To get an A
* Encode a video with the Flash or the Adobe Media encoder (remove unwanted start/end of the film and select an appropriate output format)
* Create a page with real contents and implement DHTML changes that make sense for the given target population for whom you created the contents.
* Prepare a flash "movie clip" that includes playback with the video component plus captions.
* Add some extra CSS style
* You can choose any film you like, but preferably one that you made yourself (originality bonus)
* Care for usability. e.g. explain somewhere in the page what pressing the button(s) will do or at least make the button labels self-explaining.


===== Option B =====
Bonus points: Extra elements in the Flash page, interesting captions, good timing, etc. I.e. the result should look professional and be useful.


* Create a simple quiz with JavaScript (including mine, i.e. the files we used in class)
I suggest that those who already turned in 3-4 homeworks skip this exercice. I will not test Flash in the final exam. I only require that you have some very basic understanding of timed text (i.e. use the "p" tag to define start and duration of captions ....)
* You may use code from any source, but it must work with modern browsers, quiz contents must be your own and '''you must explain what you did change'''


; To get an A
When you upload the result, make sure to include all files needed to see the Flash clip, i,e, html, swf, component swf, flv, js. To get this right, I suggest to use a new folder for this project.
* Create a small, but useful quiz
* Add some extra CSS style
* Care for usability and user experience, e.g. add some introductory text and make sure that the feedback is understandable.
* Give credits in a proper way if you reuse materials and contents from another web site.

  • HTML 5 Video tag (short info)


Homework 5

Create a Flash video with captions

  • Encode a video with the Flash or the Adobe Media encoder (remove unwanted start/end of the film and select an appropriate output format)
  • Prepare a flash "movie clip" that includes playback with the video component plus captions.
  • You can choose any film you like, but preferably one that you made yourself (originality bonus)

Bonus points: Extra elements in the Flash page, interesting captions, good timing, etc. I.e. the result should look professional and be useful.

I suggest that those who already turned in 3-4 homeworks skip this exercice. I will not test Flash in the final exam. I only require that you have some very basic understanding of timed text (i.e. use the "p" tag to define start and duration of captions ....)

When you upload the result, make sure to include all files needed to see the Flash clip, i,e, html, swf, component swf, flv, js. To get this right, I suggest to use a new folder for this project.
