This is a more advanced tutorial on using Ajax and PHP to extract a list from a MySql database that can be done in a way that an ordered list can't provide. After you've created the database, you use PHP and Ajax to drag and drop data in the order you want it extracted, then you can save the data in this newly-defined order.
As all my other bookmarks have been, this page explains in wordy English (but understandable) what Ajax is. After reading this page I think I have a better understanding of what it is....actually implementing it might be another story though...
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 place a comment/link on this page above the YouTube video (http://www.tizag.com/ajaxTutorial/index.php). It's a great site that has more general info regarding the use of ajax with php, forms, and browsers. Good for newbies like myself!
A smart article that reads almost like a novel, or maybe more like an engaging scholarly paper. It won't teach you how to implement Ajax/Javascript; rather, it will help you put it all into perspective a bit more.
Here's an interesting site I encountered looking for CSS cheat sheets. I'm not sure how useful it might be, it because the entry is dated 2006. But the eye-candy on the page attracted me.
Although we are not there yet, I found this site by Google to be very interesting. The fact that Google lets you play with their code and run scenarios is amazing. The code playground seems similar to what we see in firebug - you edit the code and see an output. It allows for Google to operate on a whole new level and interaction. Allowing people to freely test your code and learn from it, mow that's cool.
w3schools does a great job once again with their tutorials. I often find myself here at w3 when I run in to a problem. They usually do a decent job shedding light on many issues depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
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
This is my final project.
all the pages validate, and i have included the little icon the validation page provides you.
I have used ajax and php on the first page to display course information when you select a course from the drop down menu.
on the courses page, i have included a javascript validation to make sure you fill out all the fields if you want to submit a rating and comments. The php automatically displays the comment once posted.
any questions, just ask! Thanks for everything
This is module 6-e. It was a little tricky to do, but what I found interesting was how there were a few ways to do it. You could connect to a database or you could do it through making individual files. This module is for Northeast sports. Enjoy!
This website I found helpful for this module. I like the beginner sites that explain the simple stuff from the start. I would recommend this site to not only beginners but to web developers as well, it is always a good idea to review the basics.
Here is my ajax project for challenge 6-e. The goal is to teach a person in a new city the names of their home teams.
My saving grace was this tutorial--
http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Build_an_ajax_Dropdown_Menu
This website has a ton of tutorials and codes. It also has explainations and is a great way to search for ideas and get a sense of what kind of code you will be producing. I would recommend this site to anyone in this class, I wish I would have found it earlier in the semester.
