Weekly Exercise 17a: Read all of the steps before you begin

Create 8 images to use as graphical links that highlight when the mouse pointer is dragged over them. This will be a set of 4 images for the "static" state and 4 images for the "hover" state. You can use any graphic program you like. An online option would be to use the CoolText graphics generator site. Upload them to your class web site "images" folder.
Create a simple page titled Exercise 17a and place the graphical hyperlinks on this page. Save the page as "exercise17a.htm" inside your exercises folder you created in Exercise 01.
1. Title the four images and use the links below:
  1. COS Home - http://www.siskiyous.edu
  2. My Class Site - link to your home page for this class using a relative link
  3. Search the Web! - http://www.google.com
  4. Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
2. Use your "all media" CSS style sheet you created in Exercise 01
3. Create and enter the code that will preload all of your images.
4. Using the banner ad images from the book examples in Chapter 17, place the banner ads so they load on the right side of your page.
  1. Set the time for 5 seconds per ad
  2. Use your first and last name initials and the word "banner" for the element id (no spaces)
  3. Use the http://www.talltalesgame.com link
  4. Place a 1 pt border around the images
  5. Place all of the images in your "images" folder.
5. Create a page heading (H1) with this text - The Least You Need to Know About Scripting
  1. Key in text following this heading that can be found in your book on page 317-318. Use the first two paragraphs that follow the books' heading of the same name.
