Here is my site for the Sign challenge! A huge shoutout to Nancy for helping me debug the messy code I originally had written! In addition, I used this site for some ideas: http://www.2wap.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4866&pid=32711&mode=threaded&start=. However, this site led me wrong in multiple ways! Citing it anyways to be safe!

The CSS wouldn't copy over to the php file. I couldn't figure that part out, since I copy/pasted the exact link line from my HTML. I don't know why it didn't work.

The CSS is still there, it's just that it is only selecting elements that appear on the first page. The second page has none of those elements to select. Should change the selector to "body", since both pages have a "body" tag, and the design rules you have apply generally to the body anyway...

Oh my gosh, it works. After two days of trying to figure out why perfectly good code wouldn't work, Dr. Halavais told me that I had to zap gremlins in my PHP text, because the text was imported. Anyhow, I'm currently teaching my freshmen a book called A Long Way Gone, and since I need to find interactive ways to keep their interest buoyant, I thought this quiz might actually work in my own classroom. Thanks to Jen Rock and Dr. Halavais for their help in getting this accomplished.

One more php challenge - a photo gallery that uses a dropdown selection form. Both pages validate. I also placed the dropdown form on the results page for ease of use. Special thanks to Evamarie for helping me figure this one out!

Here it is! It took quite some time to get this right but with the help of a couple of really swell pals (NANCY AND NICK!!) I finally got it done. :)

This page helps one select a favorite sport. After selecting a sport, it automatically populates the drop-down box with sports teams.

This is a video with a little javascript advice. I hope it helps!

A smart article that reads almost like a novel, or maybe more like an engaging scholarly paper. It won't teach you how to implement Ajax/Javascript; rather, it will help you put it all into perspective a bit more.

For anyone who attempts the guestbook challenges, this tutorial looks like it will offer some solid guidance. Thank goodness for those kind-hearted programmers who do what they can to help the simpletons. :)

Here is the page I made to calculate your Zodiac Sign. I cannot believe how much difficulty I had figuring this out! I finally did so with help from the videos, a few online resources (although I definitely had to tweak them a bit), and a couple of my fellow ICMers :) Enjoy!

Tweaking online scripts is perfectly OK. Just remember to give credit!

Ooopssss..sorry I didn't included these. Here are the sources that I found online. http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1290/calculate%20zodiac%20/%20star%20sign%20in%20PHP%20for%20mysql%20date and http://www.2wap.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4866&pid=32711&mode=threaded&start=

This is a brief, six question quiz to see how much of a Harry Potter nerd you are. If you get the easy ones wrong, the response you receive on the answer page will insult you accordingly. Ch.14 in the HTML & CSS book was incredibly helpful, as was Ch.1 Head First PHP & MySQL. I love the Head First books. I found this challenge to be easier than the dice, believe it or not.

A list of all the HTML codes, and then some. I looked over the list and had never seen quite a few (or at least never noticed them). I think its a good compliation of codes, as long as you know what you might be looking for, considering it *is* alphabatised.

I found this website to be extremely helpful when coding HTML. It lists the HTML tags available and then provides descriptions, and examples of each being used. While other books or websites reference the tags use and try to explain the result, the examples on this site put into action what the user will see when you use the tag. Definitely worth checking out if you ever get stuck

We used W3Schools in ICM512 to learn XHTML. For CSS, they offer how/why use CSS, do-it-yourself tutorials, and mini quizzes. Should be very helpful in this module.

You can find everything about XHTML from this site. It is helpful because it contains links to many other sites that has even more information.

This site provides 216 web safe html color codes. When it's time to add a little color to your site hope this can help.

This site offers tutorials, demos, and explanations for using HTML. I found it particularly helpful when creating a site with frames. -- Free html tutorials and help, images, color codes and more for the web developer. Featuring tutorials on HTML tags, programming, basics, JavaScript, frames, hex codes and more. Our weekly newsletter provides the latest information for developers.

Not sure if this will be useful in Module 1, but I've used this for adding Flash, ActionScript, and Photoshop content. Don't sleep on this site because they offer video tutorials that walk you through each step -- very helpful to "shadow" these instructors. -- A technical resource that provides easy-to-understand tutorials for Flash/ActionScript. C#, WPF, Expression Blend, PHP, Photoshop, and more!

Hi every, a little late to join the crowd, but better late than never! I found this site last semester when I was working on my website for 512. While it is a little hard to take in at once, and there are alot of annoying ads, I found the basic meat of the content to be helpful when I was teaching myself HTML.

I found this helpful for me, the "Absolute Beginner"! Describes a little more about what PHP is, what it does, and how we can utilize it.
