SOFT6008 Comments

I left a note called notefromColin.txt in each student's dropbox.

A number of students appear to have uploaded nothing yet.

I've pasted all of the comments here in case other students might benefit from them. They are in no particular order.

I was hoping to see how your assignment was going.
But I couldn't find it here.

You seem to be making progress but I think you are a small bit behind schedule.
Concentrate on meeting the minimum requirements.
For the topping selection it makes more sense to use checkboxes
and toggling the visibility is a bit of a long way around.
See the Tatyo Head example 2 on the blog. It does what you are trying to do.


Your pizza page looks great and you have a lot of it done already.
The total box you are using to display the price is editable. This would allow the user to set his own price. It need not be a text box. You could use a div and modify the innerHTML, like in the phone checksum example.
I'm not sure if the plain setting belongs there. It's a bit confusing. Unless sleecting it unchecks all the other boxes (that would be inpressive) you should remove it.
Check the values being sent to the PHP server for the drinks. It seems to be sending numbers.
You still have a bit of a ways to go. But you have nearly met the minimum requirements. Concentrate on those and make sure you meet them. Then try the visualization using the Tayto Head examples as a template.


You have made a lot of progress. But you are a bit behind schedule at this stage. Te validation functions are not being called when you click the buy now button. Wrap up the validation activities in a single function and call that when the button is pressed. That should help. Make sure that your functions return values.

The pizza guy might look beter against a white background. But as it is, it looks great.
You need to start putting the pieces together. I think you are a bit behind schedule.
You are getting there though. well done.


You still have a ways to go with the pizza assignment.
You are a bit behind schedule at this stage.

Where are the details of the Php server? What example?

In the example called Form Validation. But the PHP server is only visible inside CIT.
