Requirements

1. Create a simple web page with the name basicPage.html. This web page should follow the HTML5 web page template given in the notes and discussed in class. It should include documentation comments, Eric Meyer's CSS reset code, and the html5shiv link. The document itself should contain no CSS or JavaScript, but should link to files in subdirectories that contain the proper CSS and JavaScript.
2. The HTML document should:
   1. follow the format of the web page template given in the notes
   2. include a link to the html5shiv JavaScript code for IE versions less than IE 9

   7. contain an h1 element with the name of the assignment
   8. contain a div element with a class of content and the text: This is the original content.
   9. contain a div element with a class of content, an id of replaceMe and the text: This content should be replaced.
3. Create a CSS file to modify the look of your web page. The CSS file should:
   1. be located in a subdirectory named style or css

4. Create a JavaScript file which:
   1. be located in a subdirectory named scripts or javascript
   2. contain documentation comments including the name of the file, your name, the course, the date, and a short description of the file
   3. a function which will change the content (innerHTML) of the element with the id of replaceMe with the text: This is content provided by JavaScript.
   4. a JavaScript statement which will cause the function in the previous step to run as soon as the web page has finished loading
