//-->

5. DCiD and Information buttons

The DCiD and Information buttons are located just to the right of the Darton College Logo on the web site templates. These two buttons provide necessary information to the Darton public and therefore are mandatory on all www.darton.edu pages.

<!-- Google Analytics Code-->
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-158673-1";urchinTracker();</script>
<!--End Google Analytics Code-->

9. Site Footer

The Darton College Footer is required on all www.darton.edu pages. This footer must include the following links: Contact Us, Request Information, View Web Policies, and University System of Georgia.

In addition to these links, the footer must also include the Darton College Mailing Address, the local and long distance phone numbers, copyright information and the Last Updated date.

10. Interactive Forms

All interactive forms on the Darton website must include an Authentication Code (to reduce spam).

Forms should conform to the following layout:

<form action="example_form.php " method="post">
<fieldset><legend>Please fill out the information below:</legend>
<div>
<label for="Name">Your Name (required)</label>
<input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" tabindex="1" size="50" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="Email">E-mail address</label>
<input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" size="50" tabindex="2" />
<p>(We <em>cannot</em> reply if you do not enter a valid email address.)</p>
</div>
</fieldset>
<p align="center" style="padding-top:1em;">
<label for="security_code">Authentication Code will go here</label>
</p>
<p align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Comment" name="Submit" tabindex="4" />
</p>
</form>

11. Frames Break

While not required, it is highly recommended that the following script be added to the header of all www.darton.edu pages. This script will prevent the Darton web page from being held inside someone else's frame set.

<!-- Script to keep page from being placed into a frame -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
if (self != top) { if (document.images) top.location.replace(window.location.href); else top.location.href = window.location.href;}
//--></script>

12. Responsible Department & Web Contact Information

All Department and Division pages are required to display the Responsible Department and Web Contact information at the bottom of all their pages (just above the footer). For more information about the Web Representatives, please see: http://www.darton.edu/oit/webadmin/reps.php
