Make sure that your template.html and
assignment1.html files are saved in the
public_html\assignments folder on the client
side (your hard disk or flash drive). That way, your
client and server will “mirror” each other.
Also, for all assignments, make sure you validate your XHTML before you upload it to the server. The validator is at http://validator.w3.org/.
Assignments are due at the end of the specified day. Assignments are more closely keyed to the on-line notes than to the book.

Download sample files from class.
If you are looking for a substitute for notepad, you may download:
Notepad2 allows only one file open at a time (just like Notepad) but does allow you to turn on line numbering in the View menu.
Syn is more powerful, and also a bigger download, (about two megabytes) and allows multiple open files.
You don’t need to read all of these the first day. As we get to the topics, you will want to read them. The first item (How to Edit Files) is a good one to start with.
