Quick Guide to HTML and Example Project Page

CompChem Main Page


For your formal presentation at the end of the week, you will use an HTML page on the web to show your information as well as speak about it. This page will remain up after you leave (like last year's!), so you need to do well on it!

The majority of the HTML coding is already done for you. The template for the example page below will be available to you when you are ready to start preparing for your presentation. This template should be edited in SimpleText. Leave all of the stuff inside angle brackets <> alone! These are "tags", which tell a browser, like Netscape, how to display all of the other information (which is text). Below the template a few tags which you may add are explained. Please see a presenter or look up HTML resources on the web for help. If you want to use any other tags than those on this page, check with a presenter first, please.

See the example page. The links on that page DO NOT work until it is moved to the correct directory.

Other HTML tags that you may find useful:

Images. Put in <img src="picture.gif"> to display a picture.

Email. Put in <a href="mailto:yourname@youraddress.net">Email Me!</a> to make a link where clicking on Email Me! opens an email with yourname@youraddress.net in the To: line. Typically, put these lines below your references.
