Hello,

Here's the link to my final project. It's mainly a portfolio of my artwork, but has additional art-related features:

Overall this final assignment was good practice and review of a lot of the things covered in the course. I'm sure my code is more complicated than it should be in parts, but I think this will get better with time. I look forward to seeing everyone else's projects tomorrow.

Class 8 Homework - Blog

Hello,

I was able to get everything running but was not able to set one of the cookies/get the "user_id to work (setting a foreign key). I followed the examples from the authentication example and blog example (updating last class's assignment using a combination of these). Perhaps the "global" feature prevents one from setting multiple cookies. In any case, here's mine:

Homework - Class7

I too found this difficult. I scratched my head on this one so much that I should be bald right now. I’m becoming very familiar with PHP errors though.

I was confused about where the register page should be redirected if the fields were not empty as the Process flows indicate it should go to the Login page and the blog post mentions the Homepage. I've chosen to send it to the Login page.

This was more than enough to get through for one week. Although there's obviously a lot more one would want to do, such as creating a logout (as Bryan did), making sure usernames are not duplicated, a function that expands the container div as pictures are added, etc.

I was able to get almost everything to work per the instructions; there were a couple of things that I was stuck on: 1) getting two images on the same line/row without repeating the same image to do so. 2) how to show the "Uploaded by " only when there is an image. I’ve left a second div (without the 0, 1, 2 index reference) there for now, so I can go back to this when I find the solutions. There are no doubt better ways to have done this in certain instances, which might be more obvious once I tried to add additional features.

I've used loads of comments for my reference, so it might be a pain to look at, but I've taken advice from the tizag tutorial and will no doubt find this useful. I also want to thank Mimi for the killerphp video tutorial reference (we might have received an email about it as well from someone else). Although some of the teacher's HTML is not that great, the videos are very informative and easy to follow as a refresher.

Here's my version:

Once I figured out the javascript in accordance with the "display" property in the css, the rest was pretty much review.

Class 3 - Homework Assignment

Hello everyone,

This wasn't so easy, but I imagine it becomes so with time and practice. A few things I couldn't figure out were:

1. How to get a background image on a dropdown box (applies to the Home City dropdown form in the Blackbook design.
2. How to use a magnifying glass for the submit button (in the search form for music videos in the MTV design comp)...perhaps this is clipart that was put in...still not sure how to do this though.
3. I still can't get the colors exactly right...perhaps they are shades of colors, but I'm not quite sure how to play around with that to change them.
   

One thing I learned when looking for a style for the checkbox icon in the Blackbook design ("I'm going here") is that the screenshot must have been taken from Safari/a Mac, as these checkboxes display differently in different browsers - I don't think it's possible to make it look the same in Firefox/IE unless perhaps viewing on a Mac - still not sure. I checked this in Firefox as I was working on it, so it looks best in that, pretty similar in Safari and not so great in IE:(.

Background colors for assignment2

Hi Bryan,

I thought that Silver for the border (#C0C0C0) and WhiteSmoke (#F5F5F5) for the background color (where there is a background color) were the closest match I could find. Mine's still in progress, but you're welcome to have a look at what I have so far to view my colors. I basically used the reference on W3schools and tested several before I got these.

Regarding, the "ul" factor for the second line, I used divs instead, but perhaps mine is more complex...and I'm seeing problems between the way things are displayed on IE and Firefox with this section, so I've definitely got some tweaking left to do.

Hope this helps!

Class2 Homework Assignment - Actor's Home Page

Hello everyone,

Here is my solution to Step 2 of the homework. I went about it in a similar way to Bryan, using four containers (3 within a main one). And I played around with the sizes of boxes a lot to make things fit. I also used absolute positioning for the containers. I had 17 CSS entries, but did not need to use more than one“clear entry”.

Please see my basic wireframe here:

Step 2

For applying design techniques, I have used a friend of mine (since she is an actress) as an example:

I did not add "place an order" as I thought one would either use the quick order form or choose what they wanted from this page, then place their order.
