Due date portfolio

20 October

Just to confirm the 20 October is a Saturday?

Yes, so those that work can spent the morning finalising before they submit....

If we submit early would we get feedback so that we can correct errors or add
anything that is required that might be missing?

The portfolio is an exam, so I am afraid no.

The portfolio instructions says to add a 9th page (Active Participation) where "you must use a numbered list that contains a copy of all your posts to the forum".
Does this mean (1) I must simply type all my posts into a numbered list, i.e. hard-coded into my program (which will be easy enough)
or (2) I must read the posts as a file into a numbered list (which I have no idea how to do)

Thanks

There are a number of ways to do this... easiest is to do an advanced search of the forum of all your posts using the author option, then copy and paste and order it accordingly.

Hi Mac

I am a bit confused myunisa states that deadline for portfolio submission is 29 October 12 but here I see you said is 20 October 12. Please clarify which one is the correct date for submission.

It is 20 October unfortunately - we do not work on myUnisa dates. I will accept a day or two later, by the Monday.

Hi Mac,

I want to ask about the submission deadline again this time as a confirmation. 20 October is a Saturday, what is the cut-off time to submit? On the last post you said you will accept the submission if it a day or two later by Monday will a student lose some marks if he/she submits say by Monday?

No.

Thanks for the extention. really in need of it

I am almost done with mine.

Hi Mac

Which course would you suggest as a follow up on this one?

Hi Mac
i was really working on My Unisa assignments submission dates but i will try to send thru tomorrow late if that's fine

Have uploaded portfolio.
Maybe I missed further instructions - but do I have to notify some-one regarding the upload?

Hi Mac

I submitted my portfolio. I have 2 queries :

1. I hosted my page on FreeWebhostingarea. For the forms section of webpageI decided to include a server PHP script to email back all the entered form details. Every time this script runs my FreeWebhostingarea account gets deleted. I think because the PHP script is using the mail action and they probably think its spam. I removed this script from FTP so my form will only check validity of fields and not really "post" any data to server. Hope this is OK.

2. This is regarding JavaScript. I decided to make my code modular in sense of splitting my functions in separate .js files. When I link in 2 .js files in one html file I sometimes notice things don't always work. I made sure that all variable names across .js files are unique so no conflict. Also I have seen my java functions work on home PC but on server hosting it does not work if I link 2 .js files in one html file. To workaround this I just included one .js file with all my functions and it worked. Not the ideal solution but I have searched the web and could not find a better way to fix the issue of including 2 .js files in one html file. What is the best solution for this issue? Is it a limitation on JavaScript language?

1. What is important is that you know what you need to do....
2. It can't be - you can link as many as you want... there must be something else wrong, what I do not know as I have never stumbled across this problem.

Hi Mac

Problem seems to happen when you declare two eventHandler functions for same event.

See below function, if I run this only one onmouseover/out event handler will work and sometimes non-work :

1. SwapOut() is in imagerollover.js
2. SwapOutMenu() is in MenuHandler.js

<script type="text/javascript" src="imagerollover.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="MenuHandler.js"></script>

<a href="About_us.html" onmouseover=" SwapOutMenu(0,1)"onmouseout="SwapBackMenu(0,1)">About Us</a>

<a href="Test.html"onmouseover="SwapOut(7,1)"onmouseout="SwapBack(7,1)"><img src="Images/Home/orange.png" NAME="test" width="270" height="243"></a>

Sorry, I though you meant in the header references.

The code in the jsfiles must be where the problem lies. Or the mouseover may lie in a div with display:non which can cause problems. Or browser specific issues. Or. Or. Or. Yes, it does get tricky.

That said, why have two different js files, and why not simply have the js code in the header - it may be an overkill to call two files for oneor two lines of code.

Agreed. If I get some time I will run browser debugger and trace the issue. thanks

hi mac, are you guys still accepting portfolios?

hello,

by when could i expect to see my results somewhere, and my mistakes on the assignment and portfolio.

thank you ^_^

13 December. There is no feedback on "mistakes" as such, because it is difficult to define what is a mistake. That is, we mark your site according to the requirements as set in in the sticky post. Some will do it better, others less better, to put it that way. There is no correct way - if there was, then all sites will look the same!

Ah, then judging from the fact that I fulfilled all the requirements set out by myself (I don't copy others code or believe in cmses or wysiwygs. a web designer designes.), I shouldn't have problems. I am interested to know why it says that I only got 80% on my assignment on myUnisa though.

Jeffrey Zeldman - "Real web designers write code. Always have, always will."

It is a perception mark how you have met the requirements, and that is based on many years of experience. One can put up a neat site, but perhaps the spread of the page content is not quite well laid out e.g. it does not flow. A 10 mark is more than just code - everything is just WOW! It also means I can phone a company now and say employ this person immediately.

Of course that is our perception, but at this point in time we consider ourselves to be the experts and is perhaps more fine tuned to the categories than you are So is does not come down to just your code. The portfolio is really what counts, and for that we make available a precise breakdown per category.

Then I'm grateful for the 80%. Thank you.

Hi Mac

when will results be released for this course?

Thanks
