Click here to load this Caspio Online Database app.
I just put the HTML into this blog, and I'm not at all impressed. When I switched back to compose view, it just said exactly what it says above. I expected the database to actually be ON the page in some form. I went back and read the HTML, and I was even less impressed. They threw in some javascript to make it look fancy, but other than that, I could have written that code without their help. It's incredibly basic.
I'm going to publish this post and see what happens with these links. I'll come back to report soon.
Oh dang. I take back what I said about that fancy javascript. That's what makes the table actually appear ... In compose view, it just says, "Click here to load this Caspio Online Database app." But once it's published, that javascript kicks in.
I didn't see a place in the HTML to change the width of the table. Obviously that's important. I assume the javascript would need to be manipulated, but since I'm basically illiterate in that, I can't tell. I take that back too ... The table width is fine now. No manipulation needed.
This search form is very similar to the one we created in class today. I changed it so that the drop-down menu would actually read correctly. Other than that, I left it the same. Prototype #4 is done now. Number 5 may be tricky. I'm going to create a Google map of my Caspio data. Thanks to Ben, avid reader of my blog and Caspio expert, I have a couple of hints on how to get started. I have to work on a paper before I can begin the map, but it should be done by the end of the week.
(I just realized that the search form would work better if it actually gave me results. Any tips?)
