After way too long of attempting to figure out how to make this page, the light bulb finally lit up (dim, but it turned on). Instead of just numbers rotating randomly, I incorporated images of dice. I also implemented CSS stylesheet for the background and text. Also, instead of a using the brower refresh button, I added my own :-)

This comment on the 3-3 lecture may help you with future challenges involving php.

Here is another website with some CSS tutorials and templates. I've specifically bookmarked a page on how to create basic horizontal menu in css. Hope this helps!

I found this site while searching for some CSS tips for Macs. I've only looked at the CSS section. It also has some tips on photoshop, java, and html.

Here it is folks; my recipe page do-over. I wanted to add a background image that I made on photoshop but it wouldn't load/show. Enjoy the page.

This is a nice tutorial on how to use MySQL to manipulate data. Really cool!

This bookmark is a combination of 2-d and 2-f: it is my restyled recipe and horizontal menu for the CSS portion of the course. At first, I was a little hesitant / confused about learning the CSS formatting. Once I got used to the concept of the css formatting I found myself wiring code with ease. There was many back and forth between typing and viewing in the browser, but I got the hang of it. The one issue I had was with browser compatibility - the margin: auto; code did not render well in IE7, but had not bugs in firefox. The most difficult potion of the menu was hiding the attributes that the browser assumes should be included with a bulleted list and links hence why a css style sheet comes in handy.

Very nice. Should make it a habit to title your pages. But well done.

Here is a new 3-page site filled with some new info about me as well as some fun animations. I used a 2-column layout to keep my cartoon self and links list in place, have CSS working on my background images and added a new, snazzy, horizontal, unordered list menu. Hope you like it!

I used the QU page that I replicated from the first module. I added a menu bar in order to decrease the amount of scrolling for the user. This way when they go to the page they can click on the menu tab rather than scrolling all the way down the page to see the options. Having a menu bar is so much more effective for this webpage, each tab goes to the QU website for each topic.

I fixed a few of the gap issues. This is how it looks now.

Lecture 3-3, at 26:52: I just got "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$'" on that line. Is that the error you are talking about, or did I do something wrong in addition? This could be something as basic as opening/closing brackets or a semicolon for all I know. Or, perhaps we really need a variable there. Hey! What about the two equal signs after the pointer? Is this the old "freak out the noobs with the double equal sign" trick?

This page allows one to roll two dice and have a graphic depiction of the dice rolls for each. Thanks to Professor Halavais for steering me back in the right direction!

Not exactly what I had in mind, but meets the requirement...

This site is very helpful for review. While I was able to complete the PHP assignments some of the concepts were a little hazy. This site is helpful if you would like further explanation. The author provides example code and breaks down each step in a way that is easy to understand. For instance. Here was one of the basic examples:\n\nLoops like these come in handy whenever you're working with long lists of things (such as jokes stored in a database... hint-hint!), but for now we'll illustrate with a trivial example: counting to ten.\n\n$count = 1;\nwhile ($count );\n $count++;\n}\n\nKind of scary-looking, I know, but let me talk you through it line by line.

This site seems to have some basic (read: semi-easy to understand) information written in non-geek speak. Just the basic opening paragraph explained it to me better than reading a bunch of other pages I found

While by no means a complete reference, this page gives a much more thorough overview on MySQL that a lot of the other sites out there. I especially like the 'tips and functions' section.

This was a simple, easy-to-follow tutorial on creating a horizontal menu with CSS. I attempted to credit the website in the comments field within the code.

Allan: but this is a link to the directions: can you link to where you've applied them? Thanks.

Visualized the Dice! It took me a while but I finally got it! Instead of the random numbers popping up I replaced them with some die images that I found. I had to perform a list of "if" statements to make that happen. I also thought it would be cool to make this in to an advertising site, and give each user 3 rolls to roll a pair, if so, they win a small prize of sort, depending on the advertisement, possibly for a casino? We'll see..

I noted that Professor Halavais talked about deprecated codes for Javascript that will have to be edited whenever you find older code you want to grab. So here is a handy list of what NOT to wear when you try on old code!

The form on the bottom takes a name and comment and then inserts it into a mysql db table.

This is a message board on Live Programming Help for a person trying to create a Dice Simulator with images. It has sample code and troubleshooting help that may be of use for the Unit 3 Dice exercise.

i know it's a little late... i've been out of pocket for the last couple days. i made a fake profile. didn't quite know what was meant by 'profile,' per say, so i made an 'about me' kind of thing for a random historic figure. the first one who came to mind was Amerigo Vespucci. dont know why! i connected the pages with the horizontal nav bar as well.

I can't belive I FINALLY got this!!! I probably wrote a lot of unnecessary code in this one, but every time I tried to combine strings I would get an error message. Check to find out what your zodiac sign is.
