Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Unobtrusive Jquery for webprog-5-e. Nav bar is dimmed at 40 percent, and goes to 100 percent on hover. After hover, it returns to 40 percent. The whole div takes the effect. BTW, this is how I called my div in Jquery: $("#mydiv"). Took me almost 3 hours to find that out. :)

A no-frills javascript validator that checks for blank spaces and makes sure the correct type of character is used. Still thinking about totally foolproof email validation. Not too good for security, though, since javascript can be turned off by the user.

A MySQL cheat sheet from the folks at Added Bytes. It isn't much for specific syntax, but it gives a broad overview. Explains different types of data used in setting up your database table. Also much date and time info, functions, and some sample select queries. Gives a feel for what's involved with the PHP/MySQL combination.

Astrological Pickup Maximizer. Calculate her sign like the best of the lounge lizards. Works great in Firefox, nonfunctional in IE. Still thinking about it - something in the CSS. Bill, dude - your browser is killing me! :) Thanks to Professor Halavais for helping with the endgame.

A lighthearted look at the Fibonacci Sequence, styled with some quick and dirty CSS. Looks OK maximized in Firefox - disliking IE more and more every day.

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?

A group of ten nice PHP instructional articles. The first is a friendly Introduction to PHP tutorial. The entire site (AllSyntax.com) looks like a good resource for ICM 505.

Question on video at around 23:30: While different browsers don't all support the same features, will they at least support basics like flow and positioning in like fashion? I recently had a heck of a time with a positioning difference between Firefox and IE, and I still wonder if it was my code, or the way IE dealt with it.

This links to the menu bar template I used in my Chicken Kiev restyle with CSS. I like it because it has a clean modern look that doesn't look "button heavy". There is a fair amount of code, but most of it is straightforward. I made comments in my CSS sheet to help me remember what was going on. For webprog-2-a.

New and improved CSS version. Also found a menu bar template, fiddled with it a bit, and made comments as part of understanding how it works. Attempting to satisfy webprog-2-d and webprog-2-f.

Thank you! I've been going a little nuts with a few things. :) The menu bar was easy to place in Firefox, but wouldn't position properly at all in IE. I managed to do some fudging, but don't like the result, as I later gave up margins:auto to pin things down. After all that, the two browser renditions still look a little different. Much to learn.

This simple 3 page Guitar Primer attempts to satisfy webprog-1-g, and give guitar curious wannabes the guidance they need to get started right!

Download a .pdf of a CSS Cheat Sheet that looks very much like the one Alex is seen using in his Module 2 CSS lectures. Could it be? :) There are other Cheat Sheets on the site as well.

An old school classic for the recipe challenge - Chicken Kiev. Don't see this one around much anymore...
