Here is an attempt at a cheat sheet for working with the Document Object Model. This diagram shows the most commonly used objects and their properties and methods. It is by no means an exhaustive list of every feature of the DOM.

We will be having a quick quiz on Saturday that reviews the basic concepts we have covered in class so far. Anything from the readings or assignments from Class 1 to Class 3 is fair game, so make sure you are up to date. Topics covered include (but are not limited to), basic HTML syntax and common elements covered in class, CSS syntax, CSS selectors, information architecture navigation concepts, Javascript’s relationship to Java, the relationship between client and server.
There will also be questions about file management. Please refer to this post for guidelines on file management for class projects:

So make sure you understand how you are supposed to structure your files for projects in class, how your file and folder structures on the server that you create with WinSCP correspond to the addresses you type into the web browser, and the difference between relative and absolute paths. This site has a decent description of absolute and relative paths that is a good recap of what we discussed in class: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=230ad
The quiz will *not* cover using CSS for layout with the float and clear properties.
