This is a self-paced course. It is designed to be used in a lab setting with an instructor offering enhancement comments and circulating as the students work at their own pace. This should make it easier on all concerned, since there is such a variance in backgrounds with the web and with computer languages.

It is best viewed on a Macintosh with a 17" monitor with a resolution of 832 x 624, since that is what it was written on. On a Macintosh with a 15" monitor, if you set the resolution to 832 x 624 and use the entire screen, tables appear correctly.

On a PC running windows and a 17" monitor, set the resolution to 800 x 600 and use the entire screen. The tables will appear correctly. Unfortunately I have no way to check a PC with a 15" monitor since none is available to me at this time, but I would expect that the same setting will work. Another problem that has come up with the PC is that when you go to look at the answers in each lesson, the version of Netscape we are using on the PC appears to lose the scroll bars. They are there, but over to the right, and you have to have a fine touch to make them work. If you select the window with the mouse, you can scroll with the up and down arrow keys.

The variable width font used with the Macintosh is Times 12 and the fixed width font is Courier 10. On a PC, set the fonts in Netscape respectively to Times Roman 10 and Courier 8. You may want to reduce the font size in your browser menu on the PC, to better view some of the things. There is such a choice in one of the menus.

Both Netscape and Internet Explorer were used to preview the files, but not all the formatting is handled exactly correctly by Internet Explorer.
