**__ LIS 3353 - ASSIGNMENT 6 __** **// PART 2 – WEB PAGE DESIGN and VALIDATION //**

Step 1:


 * __ Design an HTML page that meets the guidelines: __**

With the economy in the tank, you decide to help your friends who are unemployed by creating a webpage that has helpful information on finding a job. Here’s what your page needs to include:


 * 1) A title
 * 2) Headers to distinguish different headings and sections on the page
 * 3) 4 images related to employment seeking
 * 4) A contact email link (to your email)
 * 5) An image of you
 * 6) An **ordered** list of steps to take when getting ready to look for a job
 * 7) A **table** with 3 sections:
 * Links to 3 or more resume help sites
 * Links to 3 national career sites
 * Links to 5 local Tallahassee sites
 * 1) Add one other resource or tool that this site should have.

Write in the LEAST amount of coding possible, an HTML page **(save file as jobs.html)**. Upload that file to your /lis3353/ directory in iSpace. Create a link on your /lis3353/index.html page to your jobs.html page.

Step 2:


 * Validating your page **


 * Using THE HTML FILE (jobs.html) ** from above (which should now be on your iSpace site), follow the validation procedures listed below. Put the **SUMMARY** of the results in a **NEW table** on your index page. Results (1-6) should appear in a table format:

Submit the link to the jobs.html page, the re-edited index.html page, and the hardware analysis post (see Part 1), here: []
 * 1) ** Using the original code ** : validate through the W3c website ([]). You can link to the page, upload the page, or copy the code into the space provided. DO NOT USE A DOCTYPE. Record number of errors.
 * 2) Repeat step 1 using the “transitional HTML 4.01” DOCTYPE statement. Record number of errors.
 * 3) Repeat step 1 using the “strict 4.01” DOCTYPE statement. Record number of errors.
 * 4) Repeat step 1 using the “XHTML 1.0 Transitional ” DOCTYPE statement. Record number of errors.
 * 5) Repeat step 1 using the “XHTML 1.0 Strict ” DOCTYPE statement. Record number of errors.
 * 6) Write a summary of your experiences using the different DOCTYPEs. What were the most common errors – why did you get them – what did you learn. The summary should be a minimum of 250 words.
