  1. Creating a schedule on a web page using tables (15 points)
    In class we discussed the <table>, <tr> and <td> tags. We built a course schedule in hourly increments like the one below. Don't forget to look at the handout (tables) on the class web page.

    2. Create your course schedule with half-hour increments instead of hourly increments. Your schedule must cover at least 6 hours and 5 days. Use rowspan and colspan (like the Lunch cell above) to merge adjacent cells and use at least two colors for cells.

  2. Creating a compressed archive with WinZip (10 points)
    Copy the folder called compress from ~cg251251/public/cs110 to the hard drive on your PC. Inside the compress folder you will find two files that together are too large to fit on a diskette. Create a compressed archive on your diskette called shrink.zip, add these two files to this archive. Hand in this archive on a diskette.
  3. Installing a Java Applet in a web page (10 points)
    Copy the files billsClock.class and java.gif in ~cg251251/public/cs110/clock to your html directory. Install this applet in the same web page as the schedule produced in activity 1. Using the parameters
