I’m still new to jquery, so I haven’t had the opportunity to make god use of it. It’s a library for all the javascript commands. They say it best on their website:
jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.
if you happen to check it out let me know what you think of it…
We added code today to scroll through the months. Here’s what it breaks down to:
<xsl:if test="/__ROOT__/_get/month >= 1">The above means if the value of the month is greater than or equal to 1 (January)
<xsl:value-of select="//link_prefix"/>reports-simple-cash-flow&month=<xsl:if test="//_get/month <= 10">0</xsl:if>
This is to fix a glitch that gives the software a problem scrolling from 09 September -10 October
<xsl:value-of select="/__ROOT__/_get/month - 1"/>Causes the arrow to decrease the month by 1
<xsl:if test="not(/__ROOT__/_get/month >= 1)"><img src="{//path_prefix}/images/buttons/out_d.gif"/></xsl:if></td>This line tell is if the month is January (month 01) do not allow the user to continue to scroll.
We have been slowly switching over the formats of our blogs to using the K2 template. As I create the new headers the general size has been 780×200. Once they have been saved in a web format jpeg, we’re ready to upload- go to site admin, presentation, K2 options- scroll to the bottom and find Header. From there browse for the new header image and select. Then once it is uploaded go to the select an image drop down and select the new upload. Refresh and there is the new image.
I’m talking about the program called Dreamweaver. For those of you who don’t know. Dreamweaver is a web development application developed by Macromedia. Dreamweaver helps you design web pages using a GUI rather than having to go through the hassle of writing the code yourself. However, it is possible to edit the code yourself if need be.
I just recently started to take a crack at designing my first basic website. So far Dreamweaver has been a lifesaver. I have been trying to write the majority of the code myself, but when I’m stuck on something, I’ll use the GUI and then take a look at the Dreamweaver generated code. It’s somewhat of a cheat sheet when I get stuck in a rut.
I understand that even though Dreamweaver is a great tool, once you get more advanced in your web design you have much more control over your pages by writing your own HTML. So overall I’m really enjoying Dreamweaver, but I don’t want to rely too heavily on it.
I am currently attending ITT Tech and at the moment am enrolled in an HTML class. I’m about 5 weeks into the ten week course, and am learning a lot. Right now I know most of the basics and feel pretty confident that I could put together a small, fairly basic website. I know how to work with tables, apply fonts, add images, add styles, and work with CSS to a small extent.
