This is an update of what I posted last week as I finally got the email verification to work using a different script. I used countless websites trying to do this, but my script came mostly from this forum: http://forum.hostican.com/javascript/javaapplets-f19/email-validation-t1683/
This site has lots of useful information re: javascript, event handlers, functions, etc. I found it particularly useful in doing the hw for Mod 5. It had so many script options I didn't even know where to start. Worth spending some time here!
I have reached my level of incompetence as far as programming is concerned. I have to use other smarts now. Since prof has already made reference to laziness being a virtue and other folks who have kindly done this stuff before, I am now searching for sample PHP Wiki code that I can adapt for this Challenge.
Large Collection of JavaScript source code. This site features excellent reference material for JavaScript, including a Script archive that is easily accessed from the homepage.
EchoEcho's Javascript tutorial provides a good start on how to learn javascript. I like how they have specific sections the most common uses of javascript(Browser detection, form validation, animated buttons, cookies, drop down menu, multiple link, frameset script, and popup windows).
By clicking on the "Leave A Comment" link the email form appears. I just cannot figure out how to make the email vaidation code to stick. I am still a little confused on where to put the second function script.
After some trials and tribulations I was able to get the form validation script to work with my recipe comments page. This page verifys that the user has entered their full name - no names less than 5 characters or greater than 25 characters, and that the email address is properly formatted. Not only does it let the user know that there are errors, but it also highlights the fields in yellow where the errors exist.
Here I have created unobtrusive Javascript thanks to the tutorials on JQuery. I took three pictures of my dogs and added comments to them that you can hide or show. There were four seperate files created for this clean unobtrusive script including, one for JQuery (leo21.nfshost.com/JQhtml.js) one for css, one for the downloaded JQuery and one html file.
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!
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!
The key to this tutorial is that it is created for "the total non-programmer." This site is a step by step break down of javascript and answers many questions you may have.
One of our challenges is to create a horizontal menu bar, which we did not go over. I am in the process of creating mine now and found this helpful. You might too! Hope it helps!
webteacher.com has an excellent tutorial for learning JavaScript. It starts off saying that it is JavaScript for the non-Programmer and goes through step by step defining terms such as JavaScript, Object Oriented Programming (OOP), objects, methods, properties, events, functions, alerts, forms, buttons etc. It also has a great chapter on Loops (chapter 5). This site shows examples of code and slowly goes through step by step the structure and components of JavaScript.
