    Your topic for this year is FitzGeralds Park, on the The Mardyke in Cork.

    Note that The Mardyke doesn't exist as it once did. Where once it was fabled in song for it's Elm Trees...
    The Banks Of My Own Lovely Lee
    Oh how oft do my thoughts in their fancy take flight
    To the home of my childhood away
    To the days when each patriot’s vision seemed bright
    Ere I dreamed that those joys would decay
    My heart was as light as the fair wind that blows
    Down the Mardyke through each elm tree
    Where I sported and played ‘neath each green leafy shade
    On the banks of my own lovely Lee
    Where I sported and played ‘neath each green leafy shade
    On the banks of my own lovely Lee

    Words and chords for the above song are available in:

    ...those Elm trees have died long since as a result of Dutch Elm Disease, and The Mardyke itself has seen development that the author of the song would not know how to describe.

    Each page must have a language option carefully placed on the page that allows the reader to change from viewing the website in the current language to the other supported languages. The supported languages are: Once an alternate language is chosen, the site should remain operating in that language until another language is chosen.

    A suggested language switcher might look like this:

    All normal rules about website creation will apply.

    Due Dates: 20th December 2007
    (English version with French links in place)
    3rd January 2008
    (Multi-lingual version with all links in place)
    18th Janary 2008

    Assessment 2006/7:

    The two topics thus far selected upon which students may create a website on are:

    On-line Submission:

    Your project should be SFTP'd securely, using our alternate secure port, to the folder 
    /home/yourusername/public_html
    on the webserver 
    mymailbox.fachtnaroe.net
    - this will enable viewing of the site by pointing of the browser at the location:
    https://www.fachtnaroe.net/~yourusername/

    Assessment 2005/6:

    Please disregard these instructions for future years. This was a once-off arrangement.

    This year your assignment must include at least the following elements:

    Paper Submission:

    This is just a minimum of five pages:
    1. Standard Cover Sheet,
    2. 1 A4 page with a site map, description of the target audience of the site, reason for choice of subject material, summary of the steps used to create the site,
    3. At least one representative page from the website printed,
    4. A print-out of the HTML behind the page selected above,
    5. An evaluation of your finished product.

    On-line Submission:

    Your project should be saved in the folder 
    /192.168.1.252/home/yourusername/public_html
    - this will enable internal viewing of the site by pointing the browser at the location:
    http://192.168.1.252/~yourusername

    As the first page of a website should be called 
    index.html
    and there is already a single webpage in that folder you're going to have a problem. They can't both be called 
    index.html
    so we'll use a frameset to get around that problem.

    We can't just delete the previous page as the external examiner hasn't seen it yet, so no official marks have been allocated. Therefore, it has to stay.

    To access your files on a website you normally use FTP. As you are creating these files on an internal Microsoft Windows network you can access your folder using a file explorer window and typing \\192.168.1.252 or \\LINUX2 into the Address bar. Provide your username and passwd from the previous Linux system.

    Once this folder is opened you can use normal file explorer actions to put together your site in the public_html folder. If you want to open a file to edit it, right click on it, choose Open With and use the Notepad editor. Reload your site in the browser (which you should have open simultaneously) to see how your changes are working.

    Framesets and frames were hailed as a superior way of dividing up the screen into separate sections when they became available first. Today, the use of frames is heavily deprecated; despite this we will use them to solve our problem of the two items needing to share a folder.
    1. Rename the existing index.html in the location above as history.html
    2. Rename the first file of your website as webbing.html - it should already be called index.html but as explained above, this has to change
    3. Copy your website into the folder
    4. Create a new file called index.html and put the html below into it
    5. Create a new file called internet-task.html and put the html below into it
    6. Test your site by using a web browser to go to: http://192.168.1.252/~yourusername
    index.html 
    <frameset rows="40,*">
	<frame name="topline" src="internet-task.html" />
	<frame name="mainwindow" src="webbing.html" />
</frameset>
    internet-task.html 
    <html>
<body>
<a href="history.html" target="mainwindow">History & Structure of The Internet</a>
</body>
</html>

    NB Subject Matter NB: You may create your website around any subject you like as long as you clear it with your tutor first.

    (Closed to further submissions)
