Directions

Make a travel guide with a brief overview of two cities or countries that you would like to visit.

1. Create a new file in your assignments folder called travel.html.
2. Write the basic HTML structure, using the title Travel Guide.
3. Find a background texture to use for the “picture frame” of your travel guide. Try visiting:
   • www.grsites.com/textures/
   • www.loriswebs.com/textures/
   • www.welterweb.com/background-graphics/
4. In the body, create a single-cell layout table the same width as the browser.
   • Set the background image of the table to the image you downloaded.
   • Set the border width to 2 pixels and choose a border color.
   • Set the cell spacing and cell padding to 0 pixels.
   • Set the horizontal alignment of the cell to center.
5. In the top of the only cell in the layout table, add a level 1 heading with the text Travel Guide.
6. Below the heading, add a nested table for the inside of the “picture frame”.
   • Set the width to 80% of the available space.
   • Set the background color to white.
   • Set the border width and color the same as the layout table.
   • Create the table structure shown in the example.
7. Add the introduction text above the two columns.
8. In each of the two column cells:
   • Center a level-2 heading with the name of the city or country.
   • Use travel.yahoo.com or lonelyplanet.com to find information about your travel destinations.
   • Add about three paragraphs of text to describe the location.
   • Find and save two pictures. Using a photo editor, reduce the size of each image to 150 pixels wide.
   • Add the pictures to the text in appropriate locations, using the align property to let the text wrap around them.
9. Add the source text below the two columns in a reduced (-1) size font. Include a link to the source web site.
10. Below the inner nested table, add three line breaks to expand the layout table for the bottom border.
11. Raise your hand and ask your teacher to grade your assignment on screen.
