About the Faculty
These pages were developed in a combination of bare html (using Windows Wordpad) and AOLPress (http://www.aolpress.com). Design was based on templates developed for IIT's Rice Campus Web site. The Navigation Bar is copyright 2000 by Mike Hall and comes from Brainjar.com where it is available for download and public use. The text background rollover script is by G. Carmichael as modified by Ray Trygstad. The site makes extensive use of Virtual Includes to simplify maintenance of the code and the site; examples of the material in the includes can be seen by comparing and contrasting the template code with the source code of the actual template as delivered by the server.
Clarity and ease of use are the goals of the site. Usefulness of the material when printed is also considered very important; to meet this goal every reference link is linked through the URL. The site is also designed to work effectively in both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator/Communicator; it looks fine in Opera and on WebTV although the the Javascript functions do not work; and Amaya seems to center many items that are not actually centered but the site is still functional.
For convenience in printing there is a single-page version of the site available at http://itwebmaster.iit.edu/ECOM563/fullpage.html.
