Lab Exercises 2:
XHTML, Forms & CSS
(Week 6)
1 Overview
This week’s exercises have three aims:
?To ensure that you are able to create, validate and submit an XHTML file and
CSS file in preparation for Assignment 1.
?To demonstrate how to set up your web pages so they can be accessed by the
CS web server.
?To introduce you to XHTML forms and external style sheets.
2 XHTML and Liskov
In this exercise we are going to use the CS student web server
http://liskov.anu.edu.au.
Go to liskov (by typing the URL above into a browser) and read the instructions
for using the web server before you begin this exercise.
2.1 Creating and Viewing a Web Page
Follow the steps below to create your own web page which can be viewed from the
liskov web server.
1. Save the files lab2.html (a sample XHTML file) and lab2.css (a style sheet)
available from the course home page into your public html directory. Rename
lab2.html to index.html.
1Note: If you already have a web page called index.html in your public html
directory, rename it for the duration of this lab.
2. These files need to be readable by the web server, but for the sake of security
they must not be writable by anyone other than you. To set the permissions
on the files, change directory to public html and type the command
chmod go+r-wx
for each file in the directory.
3. You should now be able to access your web page in your browser by opening
the URL
http://liskov.anu.edu.au/u1234567/
(replacing u1234567 with your student number).
If you have problems, check the file permissions (use ls -l) and the permissions
on your public html directory (which should be readable and executable).
Note that the web server translates u1234567/ in the URL to u1234567/public html/.
It has been configured this way so that only the files that you place in your public html
directory are readable by the web server (and so viewable to anyone in the ANU).
The web server on liskov is configured in such a way that…
