Well, here is the assignment page links:
Coded: http://corbinism.net/BASIC.html
Dreamweavered: http://corbinism.net/BASIC2.html
As for the process, here I go:
The first website was pretty standard up until I started hiding the links, and reproducing it in Dreamweaver was a simple enough matter of typing away using the window. One problem I did have was when it came to those hidden links I mentioned earlier. The closest I was able to find in dreamweaver was the “onmouseover” tag. I copied the code from the original website I made and pasted it over into Dreamweavers codeview.
There was one upside to using dreamweaver however, in that it recognized the code and told me I’d missed a ” in my code. It didn’t seem to have an effect on the way the website looked, but I changed it anyway.
As for differences in the code and end result, the main difference was that I use capitals for my tags (<HEAD> for example instead of <head>). It’s an old habit of mine, and I’m not sure it ever made a difference, but I’ll work on changing it to save time (On the other hand, when coding “by hand” it makes tags stand out from the rest of the site more). Dreamweaver also added a few lines of code both before the <head> section and within it as well, I see no difference when I try deleting it in test (I’ve left them in the finished version). Dreamweaver also seems to close all <p> tags where I leave them open, again I don’t see much of a difference beyond a slight spacing difference.
In regards to finished products, the two pages appear mostly identical, except for the extra space at the top of the page in the Dreamweaver version. (Observed within firefox).
