Plan 7:
Slide Show

You can use a web browser to create a slide show for presentations. If you also put your HTMl files on a web server, than anyone at anytime can review your work.

Our method assumes you create a series of files:

where each file is a different screen. In this example, consider this the html for the second screen, where the buttons at the top can link to the preceding and succeeding pages. the color for the text is a very dark brown color. For a slide show, we want to make the text as big as possible.
HTML
NOTES
<html>
<head>
<title>2. My Slide Show</title>
</head>
<BODY BGCOLOR = #FFFFFF TEXT=#220000>
Header and body. The body tag contains a NetScape option to colorize the background. "#FFFFFF" is the hexadecimal code for the color white. For more info, see Yahoo
<table border=0 width=100%>
Button Banner. Use a table to create the button areas at the top of the screen. There are three cells- the left arrow; title text; the right arrow. The width option forces NetScape to use the entire screen.
<tr>
<td align=left>
<a href="s01.html">
<img alt="back" 
src="images/left.gif" 
border=0></a>
</td>
Left button cell. Graphic image of button links to previous page. The border=0 option for the <img...> tag suppresses the blue hypertext border on the button.
<td align=center>
<font size=+3><TT>
<b>a jurassic lesson...</b>
</TT></font>
</td>
Screen title Use the center table cell to put a title for the slide. The <tt> tag and the <font size=+X>....</font> for are for formatting the text that describes the slide.
<td align=right>
<a href="s03.html">
<img alt="next" 
src="images/right.gif" 
border=0></a>
</td>
</tr>
Right button cell. Graphic image of button links to the next screen. The border=0 option for the <img...> tag suppresses the blue hypertext border on the button.
</table>
<hr>
End of table. An <hr> hard-rule breaks the section between the button area and the slide content.
<center>
<basefont size=+4>
Text size and alignment. The <basefont> tag makes all successive text be relative to the size +4.
<img src="images/dino.gif"><br>
... survivors evolve

</center>
</body>
</html>
Body of the slide. The display has an image and text.
