Create a new folder called m22_html
Locate the following files and store them in your m22_html folder.
m22banner.jpg m22eagle.jpg m22flag.png m22lake.mp4 m22styles.css m22text.txt
Display the contents of your m22_html folder showing the folder name, all file names, file extensions, file sizes, image dimensions and, for the video, the frame height and frame width.
Take a screenshot of this folder making sure that the required information is clearly visible. Place this screenshot in your Evidence Document.

Task 3 – Web Page
You are going to create a web page and stylesheet about Lake Naivasha in Kenya. The web page and stylesheet must work in any browser. Make sure that your stylesheet contains no HTML. Make your
HTML and stylesheet as efficient as possible.
Create, in your m22_html folder, a web page called naivasha.htm
This web page must be created using a single table and must work in all browsers. The table must be centre aligned and fit 80% of the browser window. The table must have a structure as shown in this diagram:
A Width = 100% Height = 20%
B Width = 65% C Width = 35%
D
E
Each table cell is identified with a letter. Some dimensions are shown. These must be set as percentage values. Do not set the height of cells B, C, D or E.
The cell contents shown in the diagram must not appear on your final web page.
Table borders must appear on the final web page.
[7]
Place in cell:
• A the image m22banner.jpg
• B a video tag to display m22lake.mp4 so that it fits the width of this cell. Display an automated text-based error message if the browser does not support this video type
• C the image m22eagle.jpg
[8]
Create a new stylesheet so that:
• the table is centre aligned within the browser window
• all table cells have padding set to 10 pixels
• all table elements have the spaces between the borders set to 10 pixels
• the top margin above the table is set to 173 pixels
• your name, centre number and candidate number are set as a comment at the end of the stylesheet.
Make sure that your stylesheet contains no HTML or scripting language.
Save this stylesheet, in your m22_html folder, in cascading stylesheet format as m22styles2_ followed by your centre number_candidate number, for example, m22styles2_ZZ999_9999
Attach this stylesheet to your web page so that it has higher priority than the one attached in step 11.
Take a screenshot to show the file name and all contents of your stylesheet and place this in your
Evidence Document. Make sure the file name and all contents are clearly visible.
[8]
EVIDENCE 2
A screenshot of your stylesheet with the required information clearly visible.
Save your web page.
Take a copy of your HTML source and place this in your Evidence Document.
EVIDENCE 3
A copy of your HTML source.
Display your web page in a browser. If necessary resize it so that:
• all the page can be seen
• all text can be easily read
• the address bar is visible.
Take screenshot evidence showing your web page in the browser. Place this in your Evidence
Document.
[1]
EVIDENCE 4
Screenshot evidence of your web page in the browser with the table contents and background elements clearly visible.

Task 4 – Spreadsheet
You are going to create a spreadsheet to display data about lakes of the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
Some of these lakes can be found in more than one country.
Open the file m22lake.csv in a spreadsheet package.
Save this as a spreadsheet with the file name Country_ followed by your centre number_candidate number, for example, Country_ZZ999_9999 [1]
Place on the left in the header the text Created by: then a space and then your name, centre number and candidate number.
Place on the right in the header the automated file name without the file path.
[2]
Sort your spreadsheet into ascending order.
Set your spreadsheet to display gridlines and row and column headings when printed.
Save your spreadsheet.
Take a screenshot to show the print preview of your spreadsheet. Make sure that:
• the header is fully visible
• gridlines are displayed
• row and column headings are displayed
• all data fits within the column width and is fully visible.
Place your screenshot in your Evidence Document.
[4]
EVIDENCE 5
A screenshot of the print preview of your spreadsheet with the required information clearly visible.
Open and examine the files m22grid.csv and m22lake.csv
These files will be used but must not be edited.
Create and format a new spreadsheet so that it looks like this:
A B C D E F G
1 Lake finder by country
2
3 Country Ethiopia
4
5 Code Name Area (km2) Elevation (m) Depth (max) Water
6 2
7 3
8 4
9 5
10 6
11 7
12 8
13 9
14 10
Make sure cells B1 to G1 and C3 to G3 are merged.
Save this spreadsheet with the file name Finder_ followed by your centre number_candidate number, for example, Finder_ZZ999_9999
[5]
Place a formula in cell B6 that can be replicated down to cell B14. The formula must look up the code for each lake, using the country stored in cell C3 and the external file m22grid.csv for the array. Make sure that, within each formula, if there is no lake code, no error message or data is displayed in the cell.
Hint: You may use the contents of column A to help you.
Replicate your formula from cell B6 to cell B14.
Hide column A.
[15]
Place formulae in cells C6 to G14 to look up the name, area, elevation, depth and type of water using the lake code in column B for the value and the external file m22lake.csv for the array.
Make sure that, within each formula, if there is no lake code, no error message or data is displayed in each cell.
[7]
Print your spreadsheet showing the formulae. Make sure:
• it is in landscape orientation
• the row and column headings are displayed
• the contents of all cells, except column A, are fully visible.

Mark scheme
