This is a link to a helpful tutorial page that defines some of the types in database. none of the examples in the lecture are text, but in the challenge the data is primarily text which lead me to believe that the type should be text. I received an error message when doing this. As I searched to find troubleshooting help I found that the varchar type also includes text.

With this code, you can scale your form intensive site to hold thousands of text boxes and have to ability to remove text boxes all at once.

To paraphrase Denzel Washington's character in "Philadelphia" (Heck, this may even be a direct quote considering I've seen this film so many times... ): "I want you to explain it to me like I'm a two-year-old." This site does just that! When I am learning a new skill, I want material that is utterly foreign to me to be Kindergarten-ized as much as possible. I would not be the least offended if I saw the following (and hopefully with pictures!): "See Spot mark up the plain text document. Mark up the plain text document, Spot, mark up the plain text document!"

Hi Dr. Halavais. How do I get a web host? I'm having trouble seeing if I have one.

I have a couple questions. They are highlighted within the sticky notes in the text regarding downloading problems also: When downloading Notepad++ do I need both the binary and the source files? When I attempted to download Jing I received the following error message: The NTVDM CPU has encountered illegal instruction. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to get around it?

Questions about web-view using TextWrangler

Oh my gosh, it works. After two days of trying to figure out why perfectly good code wouldn't work, Dr. Halavais told me that I had to zap gremlins in my PHP text, because the text was imported. Anyhow, I'm currently teaching my freshmen a book called A Long Way Gone, and since I need to find interactive ways to keep their interest buoyant, I thought this quiz might actually work in my own classroom. Thanks to Jen Rock and Dr. Halavais for their help in getting this accomplished.

Here is my updated recipe page; CSS version. This new one has a gray background for the main page and white to make the actual recipe stand out. The main title stands out against the other headers by color and size. All headers are in a sans-serif font while body text is a serif. Also, the links have a rollover feature and are a differnt color than the body text.

I did this page for my personal web site. If you have seen the first, rough draft so to say of my sight, you will notice I have taken out the links as I am working on the site. But the links to the past projects work fine. If you click on the plus sign, you will see a description of the project, and if you click on the minus sign, the description will hide. I liked this idea because with all the descriptions on the page, the page looked too text heavy. This method allows the user to pick and choose which site they want to know more about, while not being overwhelmed or distracted by other text.

I asked 2 questions related to Javascript.

At the 17:23 mark in the first video of the JavaScript module, I asked if Professor Halavais could clarify some text on the screen. However, the text may have been blurred out deliberately since the surrounding text is fuzzy but not as bad. Just don't want to miss any important steps!

Its interesting that javascript is fading off the design of html pages, yet it is becoming a key tool for flash programming...maybe javascript was just misplaced in the early development of the web.

This website is also from w3schools. And this involves changing colors of text, background etc. It shows examples like the book does and is very easy to follow.

After way too long of attempting to figure out how to make this page, the light bulb finally lit up (dim, but it turned on). Instead of just numbers rotating randomly, I incorporated images of dice. I also implemented CSS stylesheet for the background and text. Also, instead of a using the brower refresh button, I added my own :-)

I was browsing through the web and found that there is a "Viewable With Any Browser" campaign. Has anyone heard of such a campaign? It really stresses the importance of designing text and images that do not require the "this page is best viewed with Browser X" message.

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!

:) I thought I was the only one who would be amused by the name alone! I didn't realize this site was years old. Thanks for vouching for it

This site has some cool tricks such as styling options for ordered lists, double block quotes, gradient text effects and more.

Here is a 4 page site I made for upcoming Connecticut concerts for the month of February. I included a splash page that includes links to Toad's Place, Mohegan Sun, and The Webster. On each of the 3 venue pages, I included links to the venues' official website as well. Then, I included text about upcoming concerts. I purposely didn't link back to the splash page, thinking that once the user is into the venue sites, it wasn't necessary to return there.

This HTML tutorial website provides examples of how to create basic tags, format text, and add links. This will be helpful when learning how to write your own HTML.

I am happy to see the 25 things :). However, you need to save the file as plain text. Microsoft Word is probably not the best place to edit HTML, but if you do, you need to make sure you save it as plain text, and not as HTML.

Do I have to have a fancy HTML editor? No; matter of fact, you can instantly create your own HTML page just by using your favorite text editor (such as "Notepad" in Windows).

This page is just a basic intro/course description for an HTML class taught at UC Berkeley. It's really just a few sentences, but it's one of those short on words/long on meaning pieces of text that I admire because it gets to the meat of what HTML is all about in a very intelligent way. What struck me, though, was the line that states: "... it's valuable to know HTML even if your day job involves working with a content management system... " I work with a CMS all day! As I've mentioned before, I work for CNN.com and mainly produce interactive features and such, yet I know shockingly little about them there Internets! This course will hopefully help me bridge that gap between the material I am comfortable with, and that which intimidates me.

This is the section of lecture 2-2: Text Mess that I added a comment to. I hope you will check out the link I added if you are interested in how you can incorporate what you know about design aesthetics to what you are learning about CSS.

I added a comment on video 2-2 re: the div tag.

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.

My 3-page site. Coming up with the content for these challenges seems to be my biggest challenge. I guess that's why they say "Content is king!" My first two pages feature photos, hyperlinks and text. The last page includes a embedded video that I uploaded to YouTube.
