DYNAMIC TOURNAMENT TABLE (JavaScript)

A completely dynamic table designed to create a tournament standings. This page uses JavaScript to take in several variables from the user and then make a formatted table.

This table was created for one of my earlier projects in PHP. A friend of mine was starting a poker tournament where he wanted to have his standings updated on the web, for all his players to have ready access to. In an early thought on programming with PHP, I figured that the easiest way to perform this was to parse a text file and go from there. Since then I've changed my mind and decided that MySQL is likely the better marriage for better results.

GRADE CALCULATOR (JavaScript)

Another example of JavaScript where I use more commenting than coding. The principle of this assignment was to take in variables from the user about a class' results with multiple tests (3 to be exact). The OUTPUT link does not work because there is no consistent form of output for this code. Each time this page is run the resulting final page will be unique to the variables put in by the user.

THUMBNAIL GENERATOR (PHP)

This is a page created with PHP to upload image files to my image directory and create a uniquely named thumbnail for the picture uploaded.

Since, if this page was to truly work, anyone could upload a picture to my web site without digression. So, I've changed the folder name in the code. Essentially, this will have someone try to save something to a void space and not to my web site. So, to try and run it, as is, an error will occur on the execution.

The programming of this involved use of the GD library. When I started it, all sites said that GD library does not support GIFs. This may still be true, but it won't stop me from finding a way to make a convenient thumbnail generator for GIFs as well. The basic idea for this was to be a jumping point for my web comic capstone. I wanted to have a site to upload my single images and have them instantly populate the web comic site, without additional tweaking or programming.

DIV & CSS

This web site has been reconstructed using "div" tags instead of tables. Friends currently working with web design, have told me that this is becoming the new convention. Upon my own research, I discovered that the logic behind this was to allow for search engines to find the content of a web site quicker than to dig through the structures of a table. DIV's combined with CSS make for cleaner and more content driven code. To see my style sheet simply click: http://www.douglashensel.com/style001.css
