Final Assignment. Interactive, customized Google map of the Quinnipiac campus. Color coded and packed with photos, links and more. The page includes a cascading dropdown select menu (from module 6), so you can see which buildings hold which departments. You can get to more of the official QU website from this page as well - I included the QU's site rollover menu bar. Enjoy the summer!
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.
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.
I created a Connecticut news source page with a form. First pick the medium, then choose the news organization. Like many of my classmates, code came from
http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Build_an_Ajax_Dropdown_Menu. Seeing if I can adjust to add jquery.
A form that includes fields for name and email, and a dropdown select menu. Name (at least 1 character) and a properly formatted email with @ and . are required. The form doesn't actually send any information (since that wasn't required), but after you fill it out, it brings you to a thank you page.
Test your JavaScripting skills using the w3schools.com Tryit Editor. See what happens in side by side windows. Learn the basic formatting of JavaScript statements, blocks and comments. This site seems like a good place to practice, if you know very little about coding JavaScript from scratch.
Just wanted to share this example of a database powered by MySQL. It includes thousands of records for restaurants health inspections in Connecticut. It's dynamic and updated regularly with new reports. I didn't build it, but I admire the developer who did. I only helped with the HTML/CSS display
An online training course from Web Developers Notes that explains the MySQL commands to create database tables: rows, columns, records, assigning unique id numbers to individuals records. At the news organization where I work, developers have used MySQL to create databases for Connecticut high school football and basketball statistics. The stats are all displayed in tables - check it out at http://data.courant.com/highschoolsports/basketball/home.aspx
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!
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.
I retooled my green smoothie recipe with a cascading style sheet for all elements. I have multiple divs, an image that "floats" to the right, and a fixed background image.
