Finding Addresses
Let's add some links to your homepage that will aid in using electronic
mail by providing ways to find addresses, and by providing online
assistance for topics related to e-mail. In the process, we will
introduce the important technique of creating "lists" in HTML.
In particular, we will see how to create numbered lists,
where items in the list are numbered sequentially, and un-numbered
lists, where items are not numbered, but each is preceded by
a "bullet" symbol. We will also see how to "nest" one list as a
sublist of another.
Homepage Exercise
Open your homepage file index.html in your home directory
with an editor. Copy the following HTML code with the mouse and
paste it into a convenient place in your homepage file:
<h2>Electronic Mail </h2>
Here are some links that will help in finding
internet addresses for individuals, and in
determining the physical locations of domain
names.
<ul>
<li>
Finding Email Addresses
<p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href=
"http://www.networksolutions.com">
Whois Gateway</a>:
Physical Location of IP Domains
(Forms Interface at Network Solutions)
</ul>
<p>
<li>
Electronic Resources for Email
<p>
<ul>
<li><a
href=
"http://www.cs.indiana.edu/docproject/zen/zen-1.0_toc.html">
Zen and the Art of the Internet</a>
</ul>
</ul>
|
(Note: the URL for "Zen and the Art of the Internet" above should
be all on a single line when copied into your file; it
is broken above only for formatting of this page.) Save these changes
in your homepage file, point the browser to your homepage, and reload.
You should then have as part of your homepage something like the
following:
Electronic Mail
Here are some links that will help in finding internet addresses
for individuals, and in determining the physical locations
of domain names.
- Finding Email Addresses
- Whois Gateway: Physical Location of IP Domains
(Forms Interface at Network Solutions)
- Electronic Resources for Email
- Zen and the Art of the Internet

Notice that in HTML un-numbered
lists (where the items are preceded by bullets) begin with <ul>
and end with </ul>, while ordered lists (where the items are
preceded by numbers) begin with the symbol <ol> and end with
the symbol </ol>. In both cases, the individual items of the
list are preceded by a <li>. The paragraph tags <p>
are optional in the lists; they just insert extra space between
items. The above example illustrates that lists can be sublists
of larger lists.
Now Customize
Customize the preceding example for your homepage: remove things
that you don't like, change or add wording, and add more links to
relevant material.
