Dr. Golbeck, I successfully added a background picture in my page. However, the picture shows different sizes on different screens. Sometimes looks weird... I googled and found these codes: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>hello world</title> </head> <body> <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:-1"> <img src="bg.jpg" height="100%" width="100%"/> </div> It turned to be even more weird. Is there a way to solve this problem? Thank you very much! |

Professor, how would you like us to submit our usability studies? Did I overlook the obvious?

Email is fine (you're right - it's not mentioned on the assignment)

Susan - let me know what your questions are on that assignment. People often seem to have trouble with it, but there is no hard part or hidden difficulty. The assignment spells out exactly what to include and you don't need to do anything beyond what's listed. Still, I realize it may be unclear. Just let me know if you have specific questions. If they are about the assignment in general, this is the right place to ask. If they are about your assignment/work specifically, email is better.

Professor Golbeck-
In the Forms lecture you mentioned that we can find the cgi link (http://zaphod.mindlab.umd.edu/cgi-bin/reflector.cgi) in the lecture notes. Does that refer to the Forms pdf chapter? Typed the cgi link from the lecture, but am curious if I am overlooking specific lecture notes.

Professor Goldbeck-
I have an additional question about the t6 assignment. I am confused about the db.html file. How do we present our database design and queries in html format?

For the database design, list the tables and then the fields in each table. You can do this as a list or make an HTML table for each database table and show some sample data that would go in the table.
For each query you need, just describe it in a few words and below that give the SQL code for the query. Feel free to plug in example data where your user input would go.
Does that help?

If you look at the source code for the example in the database lecture (called "HTML Forms Example") you'll see the form reflector working there.

How do you view the Source Code on a Mac?

Professor Golbeck-
Thank you for the db.html explanation.
I have a follow up questions specifically for the lib.html page. Should we focus primarily on building a page where the librarian can input answers. That is, do we not need to build in how the librarian would view the question submitted? I understand how to input information into a form, but without the database how do we program how to import information? Actually, same goes for the answer.html page.

Right. Just make up an example question on the librarian page and have a box for them to enter the information. You don't need to worry about how the question gets there or about putting the answer in the database. For the answer page, just show a sample question and answer.
