In this assignment, I used jquery to hide elements on the page. When you click on the header "Mama Z's Sugar Cookies" everything slides up and all you are left with is the See Comments button which you can click on to see well, the comments.
This website I found helpful for this module. I like the beginner sites that explain the simple stuff from the start. I would recommend this site to not only beginners but to web developers as well, it is always a good idea to review the basics.
I was bel to find this really helpful site that provides detailed help on different web programming languages, code snipits, and tutorials. Of all the sites out there, I think this one has been the most helpful - easy to use and easy to understand.
I wish I had found this sooner!
Languages: ASP, PHP, Javascript, HTML, SQL
webteacher.com has an excellent tutorial for learning JavaScript. It starts off saying that it is JavaScript for the non-Programmer and goes through step by step defining terms such as JavaScript, Object Oriented Programming (OOP), objects, methods, properties, events, functions, alerts, forms, buttons etc. It also has a great chapter on Loops (chapter 5). This site shows examples of code and slowly goes through step by step the structure and components of JavaScript.
This site has lots of useful information re: javascript, event handlers, functions, etc. I found it particularly useful in doing the hw for Mod 5. It had so many script options I didn't even know where to start. Worth spending some time here!
A self-generating sports drop down menu, with a tad bit of personality thrown in.
Special thanks to Erica for cluing me into this site: http://www.twilightuniverse.com/.
Again, I was trying to do things the hard way.
This website has a ton of tutorials and codes. It also has explainations and is a great way to search for ideas and get a sense of what kind of code you will be producing. I would recommend this site to anyone in this class, I wish I would have found it earlier in the semester.
In my searches I had stumbled across and bookmarked this page - even though the module is over, I thought people still might benefit from it. There are tutorials for all the languages we've covered as well.
This link is for challenge 5-a. This looks like a sister site to FlashKit.com (a site that Professor Golden recommended to our 504 class).
JavaScriptKit.com looks like a go-to source for many things because it has JS tutorials, references, forums, new updates...just to name a few things on there.
I revisited my comment/recipe page and toggled visibility for said comment form. To make it available on non-Javascript enabled broswers, I found a form that sends a user to different links depending on whether or not Javascript is enabled. Thus this is the 'filter' page, if you will. If you're interested in the links to these simple codes, I hid the links in the course code. Ta da.
Credit because it works. But...
This is a great reason to use jQuery. It's unobtrusive, so to anyone visiting the site normally, the form will show up. Only for those with javascript would it be (at first) hidden.
This site uses the google maps API to pinpoint the location of a restaurant. The most diffult task in creating this was trying to get the API to properly connect to the server. Once the key was properly loaded, the remaining functions seemed to work well.
This page points out the importance of sketching out a wbsite for design and programming purposes. In doing this it saves the programmer time and frustration in comparison with programming on the fly.
