Resume Lab - resume.html

The objective of this lab is to practice marking up an XHTML document using techniques covered in your readings and class. This lab will focus on structurally marking up resume data and providing more meaning through the use of divs, spans, classes and IDs.

Details

Starting with your stub.html file, hand code your resume. It should be marked-up using structural XHTML tags with additional structure attained using div and span (with corresponding id and class attributes) elements.

What is meant by additional structure? Well...

Envision a typical resume. Does is have logical divisions? Education, Employment, so on? Express these logical divisions using the correct tags and attributes. Create hierarchy using headings. Create logical divisions using div tags that will provide greater control over style the document.

If you don't have a resume, make one up and have fun! I'm more interested in the markup then the content. Your resume should have similar information found on these examples. NOTE: If you don't already have a resume, this is an excellent opportunity to make one.

Once you have good solid markup you may style the resume nicely.

You should validate the CSS and the document before submitting the assignment (posting it on your site).
