this is my version of the card game page, but where the card facing down is a random card, not the established heart card. i spent a few min. hitting the same card to see if they would eventually match, but then i got bored. I think this code should work, should is key. Prof, i will email it to you as per the webprog instructions to see if theoretically it would work.

Deja vu. Thought I commented on this, but maybe not. It sends the following as the realcard: cards[0]. Hard to match that with a 1 through 5.

Visualize the dice...I must say this challenge has given me the most grief since the class began. After about four days of trying and talking to classmates it has finally become a reality. This page has two die, that roll randomly. The Die are courtesy of Jen Rock and her excellent photoshop skills. Thanks to her and her refusal to do another challenge, this assignment has been completed.

This is a link to a helpful tutorial page that defines some of the types in database. none of the examples in the lecture are text, but in the challenge the data is primarily text which lead me to believe that the type should be text. I received an error message when doing this. As I searched to find troubleshooting help I found that the varchar type also includes text.

WOOHOO!! Glad to get this up and running! The comments are displayed at the bottom of the page.

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

Here is my first venture in MySQL. You can leave comments on the bottom of the slightly restyled recipe page. Can't view them yet (that's phase 2), but they insert into the database.

This is my page recreating the dice.

I got my blueberry muffin recipe page to add some reader comments that had been collected on the database from my previous coding that populated the database.

An attempt at the Fibonocci sequence. I couldn't seem to get it to separate into lines, but if you look at the page source it looks great. Thanks to these guys for getting me this far: http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fibonacci_sequence

I hid the form to fill out a comment on my recipe page. If you click on "comments" the form will appear.

This is a fake profile consisting of four pages that share the same CSS. In some universe, it could pass as legitimate.

A 5- question quiz about Connecticut. User can enter name, answer questions, see list of their answers as well as a list of the correct answers. Still trying to figure out how to total the score. Both pages validate. I tried to code in an error message if you failed to fill out one of the answers, but I couldn't get the code to validate, so I removed it with disappointment.

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.

This site is fantastic. I'm linking directly to the CSS reference page, but really the entire site is useful. It has HTML, Java, PHP, XML - everything! But in particular with this week's challenges, I found the CSS parts to be quite beneficial.

Wikipedia always seems to come through for me. This page describes "masups" and gives many examples of where they are and how they are used in everyday life.

This site answers your most basic and simple beginner questions such as, "What Does HTML stand for"? If you have no experience building web pages this site will be a helpful start.

This page has a number of assorted questions and answers regarding php and MySQL. Good to browse through should you find yourself stuck on something.

I was browsing through the web and found that there is a "Viewable With Any Browser" campaign. Has anyone heard of such a campaign? It really stresses the importance of designing text and images that do not require the "this page is best viewed with Browser X" message.

Similar to something I bookmarked in module one, this page does a great job explaining CSS in its most basic terms. It is short on words, but long on meaning, which is what I tend to seek out when learning something new. The following line (which is very similar to something Alex said in the lecture) really helped me put CSS into perspective: "The coolest thing about CSS is that you can link to an external style sheet, and this sheet can change the style (font size, color, link color, link hover etc.) on your whole Web site just by editing the one style sheet."
