make-your-own jeopardy

The following pages will help you create your own Jeopardy game. Please read the directions below carefully. You may want to print them before moving on.

• You will need to type all questions and answers in one session. You may want to have a draft in a word processor from which you can copy-and-paste.
  
  
• If you would like fewer than five categories, just leave some category names blank.
  
  
• IMPORTANT: After submitting your questions
  • Immediately save the resulting page by choosing "Save As..." from the "File" menu.
  • Save the file to the Desktop for easy access initially.
  • Go to your desktop and right-click on the new file.
  • Choose "Open With..." then "WordPad."
  • You must delete the line from the HTML code (near the top) that says:
    
    <base target="_self" href="http://teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca.us/abrown/Activities/Jeopardy/JeopardyFinal.htm">
    
    
  • Choose "Save" from the "File" menu and close the document.
    
    
• You may now save your file to a disk or another directory on your hard drive. Jeopardy will run in your web browser without using a connection to the Internet.
  
  
• Please let me know how Make-Your-Own Jeopardy works for you? What do your students think? abby@abbymath.com
  
  
• Before starting, you may want to print these directions for reference.

If I had better programming skills I could fix these problems. Suggestions anyone?
