CSE
new website FAQ for updating and creating pages
Q: What’s new?
A: Addressing the content-out-of-date problem
in current web site, the new CSE web provide a better access control
granularity to actively involve each research group to keep their
web page fresh and up-to-date. In the new site, the web Administrator
will grant the access control for each research/project directory
to the corresponding group. Each research/project group can easily
change their web page at anytime, from anywhere with an internet
access, with access control protection.
Q: What’s the tool we should use?
A: The tool we should use to modify existing
pages or to create new ones is Macromedia Dreamweaver. Modifying
pages using Microsoft Word will create problems with the Style
Sheets and therefore the fonts and functionality of certain pages
will not work. If you have any questions please contact Maggie.
