Homework 5
- Due
- Before Monday week 7 class
- Submission
- Submit the files to the worldclassroom.
Pick either option A or option B !
Option A
- Task
- 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 Collections and creation of elements section. For example, take either one
- tree-walking2.html (just color change)
- 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 .....
- To get an A
- Create a page with real contents and implement DHTML changes that make sense for a given target population.
- Add some extra CSS style
- 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
- Create a simple quiz with JavaScript (including mine)
- 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
- Create a small, but useful quiz
- Add some extra CSS style
- Care for usability and user experience
- Give credits in proper way
