Assignment Submission Requirements

Web pages must pass both CSS and XHTML STRICT validation. Assignments not meeting this requirement cannot be graded even if it is the final deadline and not additional submissions are allowed. Individual include files do not need to validate as an individual file, however, the web page in which they are used/displayed must validate.
- XHTML http://validator.w3.org/
- CSS http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
  Sites will be validated as a whole using Firefox and/or Google Chrome, the Web Developer Toolbar has links to these sites. It also allows for validating local XHTML and CSS.
  Note: When grading, I will use Firefox and/or Google Chrome for validation. If jigsaw.w3.org is being used, enter the URI for the entire web page not just the CSS file. In this manner all CSS files and any inline CSS (even though there should not be inline styles) can be checked at once. This is a more thorough process.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The use CSS3 is allowed (and encouraged!) in this course. However, by default Web Developer's CSS Validation is set to CSS2.1. It is a simple fix to update it. In the Developer Tool Bar, click on Tools | Edit Tools. Select Validate CSS and then click on the Edit button. If not selected, choose the radio button next to URL. Change the URL as indicated below. Click on OK and the close the Tools dialog box. You may need to restart the browser.

All pages must view correctly in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE.
Unless otherwise specified all assignments will be posted to your Apollo1 Account.

http://apollo1.occc.edu/user#####
(user##### will be replaced by the login you received from your instructor)

If and when directed, create a separate folder/directory locally and on apollo1 for each assignment.
Submit the URL through the LMS. Assignment URLs submitted in Moodle must be working links that open in a new window. Assignments not meeting this requirement cannot be graded even if it is the final deadline and no additional submissions are allowed.
Resubmitting an assignment is a two step process.
1. Upload the revised web page/s to Apollo1
2. Resubmit the assignment within the LMS. (Unless it is resubmitted it cannot be graded and the current grade will remain even if that is a 0.)
Apollo1 and the LMS submission areas are not disabled after the final deadline. Even if an assignment can physically be submitted after the final due date, it will not be graded and is not eligible for credit.
