Tax Example/ Mail Example

I have been working through some of the samples in this book.

The first one was a tax example:
First link is the final tax form in english, second in swedish chef.

http://76.16.47.80/js/dojoroot/bookOfDojo/samples/taxform/my_finished_swchef.html
http://76.16.47.80/js/dojoroot/bookOfDojo/samples/taxform/original_form.html

The last link is the original form before any changes. I'd like to update the tool tip on the swchef example to have swedish chef instead of english, as the tool tip is still is in english.

Based on an earlier discussion I had today I have done just that. When discussing how to change the content of the inside of a tag, I looked into the innerHTML function. It was done in the example, but for all fields except the tooltip. I had to install and use Firebug to debug as well, because I'm multitasking. =) Here is the result:

So that is the same example from above, but I have added the tooltip done in swedish chef as well.

The second was a mail reader:

This one is not finished, but I seen tons of potential for changing various things and adding functionality, so I will be revisiting this.

Playing with Dojo

Christmas has passed and New Year's is almost here, so I can finally get around to playing with some web stuff.

I started out by doing a quick install of dojo:
and moved on to a rousing Hello World example:

For my next example I will have to think of something more creative and interactive to do.








My web server has a fresh copy of dojo installed at http://76.16.47.80/js/dojoroot.

The two examples above are here:

Upgrading to 1.1

Tonight I'm upgrading my local machine to version 1.1. This weekend I will upgrade our main server as well.

So far I have:

• Downloaded all the new assests, tools and server
• Installed all the new tools
• Now installing the software required for the server (mysql, jdk, etc.)
• Setup cygwin, mysql, and Java
• Started the server
  
• Ran the sample world to test.

So my home machine is ready with 1.1 now!

FI Planning

Today I updated all of our tasks. We are moving steadily toward our 1/7 deadline. At this point we need to wrap up our tasks in progress and concentrate on making the best show possible for the folks over at Multiverse, in hopes that we get one of six slots and get floor space at GDC.

This morning I updated our meeting minutes, our dotProject deadlines, and created manual backups of all existing assets.

Assets:
/var/www/manual_backups/fi_alpha_assets.2007.12.02.tar

World File:
/usr/multiverse/config/manual_backups/iw_a0_1.2007.12.02.tar

Server Config:
/usr/multiverse/manual_backups/bin.server.cfg.2007.12.02.tar

I also moved all of these to our local FTP server just in case:
