This is a good introduction that explains alot about the value of Javascript. It explains how it simplifies tasks that used to be server-intensive by placing some of the load on the user's local machine. It is more efficient, can be re-used and sends the server a simplified information set that is easily processed.

I created the map, but them started messing around and wanted to add the javascript aspect to it so it would have the hide/show. I tweeked my previous code so it would match up with this page and the body would appear on the click rather than the form in the previous bookmark.

This is a Google Map of the QU campus. You can zoom in, zoom out, and click on buildings to see what they are and read a brief description.

This is web prog 5d. It's the email and name validate one. It's about how QU students should have a choice between owning a Mac or a PC instead of just blindly choosing what the school tells you to get.

Let's me do a blank name...

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.

Here is my variation on the Baseball Cards challenge. There are 3 different images to choose from, and the info displayed after submission (as well as the drop down itself) is generated from a database table. If you'd like to learn more about my friends & family, take a peek!

A comment I placed on Video Lecture 5-2...

I finally got this going once I found the right site with a validator form. I tried multiple places, and after getting stuck and having to tweak a bunch of things, I finally settled on this basic form. http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol6/javascript_no4.htm

Almost, but lets me through with a fake email...

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.

This tells you the basic information that users need to understand JavaScript. It spells out in simplest terms that JavaScript uses to work on sites and computers that access the site.

here's the 'home' for my 'rate my class' project. as of this posting, i've got the structure of the site all laid out, it just needs some cascadingly stylish touches. i didnt use any javascript on this yet either. i just wanted to get something posted in time for the class deadline. each class has its own php page, which pitches and catches to itself, and its own mysql table. the nav drop down links directly to each course. enjoy!

updating this page on my photo site from module 2, I have changed the layout a bit. I have also added buttons to show and hide the description of the pictures. I really like this show/hide feature. I feel it will come into good use when i have alot of text, that i dont want overwhelming a user unless they want to read it all. the jquery home page and tutorials are very very helpful with great, at least i think so, examples/demos/references to using javascript and jquery

Cool!

NO - This is not my final project, but I thought this was a really cool mashup to share. It uses Google street view and Twitter. The view changes with the Tweets, depending on the location of the Tweeter.

Wow, cool mashup!

View my guestbook. The page validates. Newest entries appear on top. YAY!

FINALLY! Sign the guestbook on my quiz from module 3.

apparently other people got the code from webmonkey too? here's my stab at their ajax voodoo... since i'm one of the few here who dont work at espn (ha!), i picked something other than sports

got this form to validate fields. the script i found also highlights the fields you foul up, and also gives a different message depending on if you put in an invalid email address, or just left it empty. cool!

Simple livin' and high thinkin'...one of these days, I'll get Java, but it won't be this semester!!

my pitch and catch for comments on the recipe. pitcher is 'recipe.php,' catcher is 'recipecomment.php'

Here is my take on explaining how to approach a challenge from Module 3 that was particularly challenging for me.
