Services - FORMATTING GUIDELINES
  • Html documents highly preferred, but if not use icons (/images/icon_*.gif) within link indicating the type of document. Examples: for *.doc use /images/icon_word.gif, for *.pdf use /images/icon_pdf.gif.
  • For offsite links, include offsite image (/images/icon_offsite.gif)
  • Images general to web are stored in /images, and images specific to sections are in /section/images
  • Styles: Heading2, Heading3, bodytext. Avoid use of different fonts.
  • Capitalization: All caps for HEADING and BREADCRUMB. Capitalized for Title.
  • Filenaming convention is to use all lowercase and the only special character should be the underscore "_" instead of using spaces. This applies to files and folders.
  • Index pages are served by default if only a web directory is requested by the browser. For example, when you go to www.bren.ucsb.edu/services/computing you are given index.asp. Index.asp or index.htm should exist in each folder as the default page for that folder.
  • Active Server Page, *.asp, is the preferred filename extension over *.htm or *.html. Giving filenames this extension allows us to add database functionality, include statements, hit counters and more at some later point.
  • When adding tables, you'll need to select all the text and first apply the "bodytext" style, then apply "greyrow" to alternating rows.
