IT 111 Chapter 8 Assignment

This assignment is due by 11:59pm on November 22 and is worth 20 points. Make sure you review the Chapter 8 Updates before you begin working on the assignment. Here is a short (4:53 minutes) YouTube video that gives tips for completing the Chapter 8 Assignment.

WARNING: The Student Date Files that accompany the textbook include the solutions to the hands-on practice exercises you'll be completing for this assignment and it might be tempting to just use these files. However, I believe that the best way to learn XHTML is to type the code in by hand so please don't use the textbook files or web authoring software like Dreamweaver or FrontPage.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this assignment you will be able to:

• create a table on a web page
• apply attributes to format tables, table rows, and table cells
• format an entire Web page using a table
• use nested tables
• use CSS to configure a XHTML table
