Class #6 Assignment: Add PHP to Storefront

I was able to get this to work with PHP as well as it was working before. As for the coding, I'm sure it can probably be more efficient, which I will focus on during the week. I originally had all my product image tags in an external CSS file which I have now brought into the main file.

The link to the storefront is:
http://onepotcooking.com/scottharlow/class6/junkstore.php

Within the same directory I used several include files:
_header.php
_menu.php
_breadcrumbs.php
_products.php (which contains all the product thumbnails php code)
_footer.php

The only php code included on the 'junkstore.php' file is for the breadcrumbs.

I still need to tweak the JQuery code because I still have issues with the mouseout function not working when you move the mouse too quickly.

Class #5 Assignment: JQuery Store Front

Here's my homework for the 5th class:

I've run into a problem with the mouseout function not working if the mouse moves to quickly. I haven't figured out what specifically is causing this, but I believe it's using an external style sheet for the image sources. I might need to play around with that a bit more.

Week #4 - In Class Assignment

Syracuse was able to win a game in 6 OT, in less time than it took for me to figure this out. In retrospect, it was easy to over-think this. Doing this after the online tutorials was helpful.
For what it's worth, as far as the online javascript lessons: webmonkey > w3schools

Web Form: http://onepotcooking.com/scottharlow/class4/webform_assign.html

Javascript: http://onepotcooking.com/scottharlow/class4/scripts/webform_assign.js


For practice I'm going to try and finish the complicated way I was doing this. But not tonight :)

Class 3 Homework Assignment (In Progress)

I made decent progress on the homework. The first assignment is basically done, all I need to do is play around with the fonts, colors, and a couple of the margins on the bottom section. The only piece that I struggled with was getting the background image into the drop-down box arrow. It's in there, but it's not centered and I haven't been able to position it properly.

The second assignment actually looks much nicer than the first, surprisingly. I'm not sure if that's a result of getting used to the coding or if it's the way I approached it. There were a couple of things I could not do. One was replacing the submit button with a magnifying glass, which I'm assuming is an image we don't have. I used a letter temporarily. The second was the small, silver, vertical column in the right column's playlist section. I'm not sure what this is.

I have two small sections to finish on the MTV assignment, which I will probably just wrap up in the morning.
