System Plan

In the System Plan brief, Alastair mentioned including "an achitecture diagram of how the component technologies and parts of your application fit together", are you all using the web architecture diagram Alastair has been using in class?

My confusion is that I'm not to sure how to implement my additional technologies into the flow of things. I know Youtube and Quicktime are both clientside technologies, but where abouts are they placed in relation to CSS and XHTML?

Semester Break

FYI, for anyone who does have a mac, my screen as gone awol and more line have started to appear. According to work technical people, it is most likely my video card and the advice they gave me was to always purchase an extended warranty.

SPECIAL CHARACTERS!!

In my last post, I referenced PHP code I was having difficulty with. What I noticed after I posted the blog was that the tags I were using were being turned into code by this blog site.

Example, if I wanted to refer to

as a written discussion

, this blog may interpret it as an actually

tag

. By using a special character it should be writtn like this: < h1 > as a written discussion < /h1 > .

To see the special characters, go to this site on w3 Schools

Hopefully this works when I publish this!

Here goes...

For some reason , the vertical menu on the right has disappeared!

I'm not a fan of PHP

I am absolutely lost with the PHP practical this week. I got it to work on my local server, but not on Charlie. Did anyone else have difficulties getting it to work on Charlie?

Basically, I was totally lost by the code and FRUSTRATED as I did not understand any of it.




WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!!!!!!!

All I would liek to do is to create an area on my webpage where people can leave comments, i thought it would be easy to do. I have tried using the

tag and the but encounter difficulty when it needs to be sent to my server.

Any tips?

MARGINS!!!

Hi troops,

so, with margins, is it the pixels from the top of the browser or from another word??

Say this is a margin right now: if we type in 20px in the CSS, does that mean 20px from the line above or 20px from the top of this post???

Week 6

Hi DMT,

thankyou to those who assisted with last week's tutorial. I actually was able to complete 98% of this week's CSS practical. The only element I struggled with was the pseudo class link and making the text change color when my mouse hovered. Any advice?

ALSO, TO MAC USERS: A vertical line has appeared on my screen, has this ever happened to anyone?

In regard to the Macro & Micro report, I'm still a little confused by the 'considerations' provided, for example, what is meant by 'Does it Support the development of accessible systems' actually mean?

I found this site useful for discussing open source technologies:
ZNET

Hey did anyone figure out how to get that nifty ruler tool Alastair was using in class?
