In my search for how to use jQuery and AJAX to build a select drop down menu, I found this four part demo - HTML, PHP, jQuery and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). It also includes an example of how to create multiple select boxes with data populated from a MySQL database.
When choosing text and background colors, it's useful to have a hex code chart to make sure you're choosing the color you really want.
I like Webmonkey's chart because the color boxes are a little bigger than most other charts. Plus, they also provide the HTML coding to change the background color in case you forget.

Good call on WebMonkey. That was one of the first sites I ever used when I was learning HTML in undergrad. I loved it! Plus, how can you not love it with a name like that!
I tagged something for this challenge earlier, but it was unread so I went back and reworked my recipe page and added the comment box. Been a while, so I am thinking this is what was needed.
I hoped tabs were unobtrusive... I went back and redid a page from Module 1, putting all my travel abroad trips in one tabbed content box. The first sequence of code I tried nearly ruined my life, but Dr. Halavais was kind enough to send me a link that didn't make me want to end my life.
Small issue: when fonts are user-changed, it can bounce the last tab to a second line. But good enough to meet the requirements for the assignment, and good for you for trying something especially challenging.
This is a form that will not submit unless both name and email are filled out. Email must be filled out properly. If you click on the input boxes and try to submit the information you get messages if your info is incorrect. I honestly do not know what I would do without the Headfirst books. I was able to do this assignment thanks to Headfirst: javascript.
