Webmonkey, which I found while doing in ICM 501, is a great resource. I like the fact that it is at the "Primate" level of skill and yet has a 4-out of-5 banana rating. For those who aren't into coding and have a hard time remembering what kind of tags go before what you want to do, it's great to have open in a different window to reference.
When choosing text and background colors, it's useful to have a hex code chart to make sure you're choosing the color you really want.
I like Webmonkey's chart because the color boxes are a little bigger than most other charts. Plus, they also provide the HTML coding to change the background color in case you forget.

The Web Developer's Resource
Good call on WebMonkey. That was one of the first sites I ever used when I was learning HTML in undergrad. I loved it! Plus, how can you not love it with a name like that!
This site is about how to make an HTML document. It provides information on tags and provides an example of a simple HTML document. It is useful because it is very simple and easy to understand.
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
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.
Here is a form where you can pick your favorite pop singer out of three choices. After you pick you favorite pop singer then you can pick their best song. Enjoy!
Some code taken from http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Build_an_Ajax_Dropdown_Menu
This site lets a user select a genre and then choose a movie from the dropdown. The movie choices repopulate as you select a genre.
I had help/got scripts from this site: http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Build_an_Ajax_Dropdown_Menu
Here is my page for challenge 6-e "Ajaxed up". Instead of using a sports theme I decided to do it on some of my favorite actresses. Hope you enjoy!
The code used was found on http://adamv.com/dev/javascript/http_request and http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Build_an_Ajax_Dropdown_Menu
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--
