Lesson 5-Delayed Proposal, Basic Layout Ideas, Talking with Client

This lesson, we learnt that the proposal deadline had been delayed to the week afterwards. However I had already submitted it.

After this lesson, I managed to hold a casual conversation with my client about the website whilst we sorted through his photos to find good photos that would then be posted on the website (which he then gave to me on my thumbdrive)

Q: So would you prefer the layout to be more normal and standardized or more fun and casual?
A: Well, since my current website is rather simple and standardized, perhaps making it a bit more interesting would be a good idea.
(from this question, I now know that I have to really spice up my website to make it interesting.)

Q: How would you like a comments section for the photos? And a login sytem?
A: Yes, that would be extremely nice for the students.

I think that covered the most important questions of the conversation. I can't remember any more.

Anyways, during this lesson and in my own time I managed to create....

This was created during class time and 2-3 break times as well as some of my time on the school bus. Working on the school bus was extremely difficult. The sunlight would get in and in order to not damage the lifespan of my laptop battery i decided to lower to brightnesss of my screen, therefore, i was basically typing blindly and hoping it worked. This is probably an extremely bad habit as it will probably damage my eyes. In the end it failed because of the huge typos i made in my css. For example i would do this....
HTML
<div class="title_history">
</div>

CSS
div.title_hisotry
{}

Typing errors like these would prove fatal to my project. Therefore, i will never work during my time on the school bus again.

Anyway, I used this website as a reference because i forgot how to align things and I had to align the login box i had made using the tutorial

I was able to learn about transparency.I was able to create semi transparent boxes which was very useful in creating...

After playing around the code, i managed to figure out the tags i didnt understand. For example...

Height and width mean the height and width of the textbox. 100% means the entire screen (i learnt that from http://apptools.com/examples/tableheight.php)

top, right and left mean the distance from the edges. I managed to edit this and add my own knowledge of css and html to create...
