Tutorial 6, Case Problem 4

Millennium Computers

Tutorial 6, Case Problem 4 is presented in your textbook starting on page 406. You are employed at Millennium Computers, a discount mail-order company specializing in computers and computer components. You've been asked by your supervisor to create an order form Web page so that customers can purchase products online. Your order form is for computer purchases only. There are several options for customers to consider when purchasing computers from Millennium:

1. Use 2 Cascading Style Sheets, name one mill.css, the other oform.css Remember, you can reuse Style Sheets from prior assignments -- instead of just starting over again. Reuse is a primary CSS design goal.
2. Every time you make any changes to your Style Sheets, you should use W3C CSS Validation Service to find errors quickly, making it much easier to make needed corrections.
3. Name your order form WebPage pc.htm. As you make small changes, use your browser to view your WebPage. Use W3C Markup Validation Service to catch HTML mistakes as you make them.
4. Create input boxes for the customer's first and last name, phone number, credit card number, and credit card expiration date. Make sure the credit card information does not display on the screen.
5. Using selection boxes or option buttons, create fields in the form for the different component options listed above.
6. Insert a check box allowing the customer to choose to be placed on the Millennium Computers mailing list.
7. Insert a check box allowing the customer to choose the 24-month extended warranty.
8. Insert a text area box requesting additional information or comments on the order.
9. Place three buttons on the form: a Submit button to send the order, a Reset button to reset the page, and a second Submit button to request that a Millennium Computers representative call the customer. Use the values "Send", "Cancel", and "Call Me" for the three buttons.
10. Name the form "cOrder", submit the form using the "post" method, and set up the form to use the CGI script located at http://www.mill_computers.com/orders/process.cgi. Note that this is a fictional URL.
11. Test your Webpage under a variety of browsers.

1. Use FTP to upload your completed pages to your Tulane CPST WebSite.
2. Copy the URL of your website's main page and paste it into a new eMail message to George (gnorth@tulane.edu). Subject of this eMail MUST be "Tutorial 6 - Case Problem 4"
