I couldn't bring myself to add these entries on the bottom of my existing module 2 website - instead I went back and added links to the existing pages to this 'new' page, which echoes entries from a data table created entirely in myphpAdmin.
PS - my boyfriend actually hates The Land Before Time. I was just having a little fun.
Recipe with comment form - much love to the Head First PHP & MySQL book, whose fabulous chapters 2-4 were very helpful, and kept many tears away. And love to Erica, for letting me know that creating the additional user was a MANDATORY step. <3
This is a Guestbook for my photo site that I made back for module 2.
i wanted to have the entries be displayed like a blog, with the most recent posts displaying on top of the older ones so in the SELECT.... i used the ORDER BY feature to do this.
i also noticed that everytime i loaded the page, an empty posting would show up on the guestbook, so in the SELECT i had to specific WHEN something specific was happening... aka.... when the name field was filled out. that is why there is a *required next to the name input
I can't believe it. I actually figured this out!! After staring at it for about 2 weeks, I finally saw what I did wrong! Wow, do I feel some major relief! Enjoy the dropdown, folks. I know I will, now that I made it work.
Here is my first venture in MySQL. You can leave comments on the bottom of the slightly restyled recipe page. Can't view them yet (that's phase 2), but they insert into the database.
For this class and all my web hosting experiences, I have only used Bluehost.com web hosting services. They make it so simple and easy to host your sites - multiple sites are really easy to host ( a folder file system). You can upload to the server using FTP or a secure web disk if using a mac. Sites are then hosted on 2 platforms - public or private. Thus allowing for secure areas for additional site functionality. What is also great about this service is that I have a file server wherever I go - no longer do I need to worry about carting a flash drive or disk with me everywhere, all I need is my computer. They are 100% reliable, was easy to transfer my domains to them and host all my pages. Definitely recommend it.
It looks as though 2 other people submitted sites on color charts, so variety's purposes, here's a site that provides information on various web browsers. It's a bit of a learning experience -- did anyone else know there is a web browser called Firebug or Opera Dragonfly??
I took my recipe html file and tried cleaning it up. After numerous attempts to fix my code myself, I clicked the "Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy" button. HTML Tidy basically truncated my table-specific CSS and aggregated it at the top. I suppose I'll learn how to do this myself when I begin on Module 2. Instead of changing the original file, I saved a new one to show to the code difference at http://marie.nfshost.com/recipe2.html
HTML Tidy is a lifesaver--as long as you look at the changes and can figure out why they have happened. (It also makes it prettier, if you use the "indents" feature.)
This is my attempt to help others who are trying to create a task that spits back random images instead of just a random number (the Dice module). I used a screen shot from a w3schools example, and I also used 2 screen shots of my own work to assist others. This saved time in writing the code...
updating this page on my photo site from module 2, I have changed the layout a bit. I have also added buttons to show and hide the description of the pictures. I really like this show/hide feature. I feel it will come into good use when i have alot of text, that i dont want overwhelming a user unless they want to read it all.
the jquery home page and tutorials are very very helpful with great, at least i think so, examples/demos/references to using javascript and jquery
Dude! And after we talked about that common error, too! But as with the others, I'll count it as "close enough for gov. work."
Note to everyone: the Fibonacci series *starts* 0 1 1 2 3 5 ...
Less than half of yours do :/.
What works:- crumb trail still exists, the infamous bulleted list still exists, and all course/ program information is still up there.
What doesn't work:- No pictures or logos.
I added a menu bar to my recipe page. Now, the page links to "Other Recipes", "Other Soups" and "College Inn," all with dropdown options linking to external sites.
I forgot to add that I used this site as a reference for the Menu Bar: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/
A friend of mine also helped me with the positioning of the nav as well.
Here is another website with some CSS tutorials and templates. I've specifically bookmarked a page on how to create basic horizontal menu in css. Hope this helps!
