Class Project
My project for this semester will be the renovation of an online museum exhibit on the CSS Alabama. The confederate commerce raider was sunk in battle off the coast of France and has undergone extensive archaeological examination over the last six years.1 An exhibit was created for the online Museum of Underwater Archaeology and is set for launch sometime during the next few weeks. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your point of view this exhibit was not originally built with CSS. While the page works on most browsers it needs to be revised.
Revising the site means finding alternative ways of handling the layout, image swaps, pop up windows for Javascript slide shows, movies, and zoomview effects. Much of this can be done with CSS. As I work out how to do these things I'll post a test page in accessible through the "Alabama Test" link in the menu on the left.
This is garbage text used to stretch out the page in order to test the anchor links connecting the footnote. Pellentesque diam mi, nonummy eget, tristique non, pretium congue, orci.
