Hints for writing department web pages
Hints for writing department web pages
Feel free in your design, but try to keep equivalents of the following lines:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>OSU Math - Conference on Strings and Stuff</TITLE> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> </head> <body> ... </body> </html>
If you use images, always specify the width and height and provide an alternative text. Example:
<img src="/images/mathtower1.jpg" width="66" height="100" alt="Photo of Mathematics Tower">
Some browsers give the WIDTH x HEIGHT specification of
an image in the title line when viewing it directly. (Try here for the math tower image.)
It is always a good idea to check your pages for HTML errors and broken links. Convenient tools for this are:
- W3C HTML Validation Service - Check for correct HTML code.
- W3C CSS Validation Service - If you use style sheets.
- W3C Link Checker
