HTML Practice #4

  1. Open notepad and create a web page!
  2. Include HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags to set up the basic sections of a web page.
  3. Include the TITLE tag (within the HEAD tag) and make your title text: Stock Ticker Symbols
  4. Within the body section, add the following heading, CENTERED (heading size 1): Stock Ticker Symbols
  5. After the heading text, include a horizontal rule with the size of your choice.
  6. After the horizontal rule, include an table. This table must have a heading row and 3 additional rows. In the first column you list the names of companies of products or services you enjoy (i.e. Nike, Starbucks). The second column will list the corresponding stock ticker symbol. Your table should have at least 4 rows and 2 columns.

    TO LOOK UP STOCK TICKER SYMBOLS: Go to www.yahoo.com, click on Finance, then Symbol Lookup. A stock ticker symbol will help you identify stock information online. It will be a series of a few letters (usually an abbreviation of the company's name). Sometimes there will be a period and additional letters after the symbol. Please drop the period and anything following. (An example, Gillette's stock ticker symbol is G, Abbott Labs is ABT, and etc. Please do not use these for your web!)
  7. Feel free to add any additional color, font, or style settings you would like!
  8. Within the body section and after the table, add the following footer, CENTERED . Please add in your name and the date in the appropriate blanks. Also include the proper email link:
    Updated on _________ by ____________. For questions, comments or concerns, please email teacher@webdesign.com.

  9. Make sure all actions have start and stop tags!!!
  10. Save the document into your B232 Web Page Design /HTML/Intro folder.
  11. This will not be your home page so you do not need to save this page as index.html. However, do make sure you save the document with the htm extension. Name the file practice4.htm.
  12. From My Computer, open up your web page to view in the browser.
  13. When done, please call your teacher over to grade.
