This Javascript assignment revolved around making a simple Weather web site, and it required use of Javascript math and date functions.

To me, the trick for this assignment was to come up a cool temperature generator. Most of the rest was image and innerhtml updates which we did a lot of in assignment 2. Rather than use links to select cities, I used a 'select' field in conjunction with some Javascript and then modified the DOM to place images and text. Much more interactive that way.

I continued to work on layout techniques and tried out Layer Comps in Photoshop with limited success. Will continue to press on.

Finished. Wow! What an assignment. There are better looking ones out there in the class, but mine was the only one that used the select field to select a city. That took a bit of work in Firefox, and much more so to make it IE compatible.

Update: I was the only one in the class that used the select field. In addition, the temperature generator was really cool. The instructor found a mistake in my timezone calculations and I lost marks big time there. Maybe I should have spent less time learning the cool stuff in order to get the basics right. :(
