Yeah, the user won't be able to see the graph when he is offline. That is fine.

The idea is that the user enters the grades, closes the browser, comes back the next day and continues entering grades without losing any information. All this without a server.

Yes, its what you are thinking: make sure that the next one you place does not overlap any of the existing ones. I don't think there is any better way.

How do you stop the overlap of divs with absolute positioning?

I have a way in mind, but it's not a good way.

You can check which constructor created an object.

d.constructor == Card

or

d.constructor == Deck

How do we distinguish between a Deck and a Card. typeof returns object for both.

Right now this is how I'm going about this:
function Card(suit, num) {
this.getClass = function () {return "card"; }; and the same for deck

then simply calling objectName.getClass()

wrong?

The 5th edition is a monster update. You can read the author's details on what is new. Basically, it is a lot of new info regarding the DOM and Ajax. It is a really good reference book.

However, you can get all the same information for free from places like gotapi.com and reference.sitepoint.com. The book is good for those of us who like to sit back and read. Flanagan does a really good job at carefully explaining the ideas while the websites are much more succinct in their explanations.

For javascript: the definitive guide is it best to get the most recent release?

You can get the 2006 release for $20+ship or $1.00 for the 2001 release on half.com

I'm fine with paying more if there are important updates.

Thanks for the info! I did not know they were using the book.

Yes, MART 380 is excellent for people interested in design. CSCE 242 is about the development of applications. However, I still think software developers should know at least a little bit about good design.

Jason agreed to talk about the basic web design do's and dont's. In other words: web design for people who want to do the minimal possible design.

Do you know any server details such as can PHP be parsed and which version/php.ini configuration?
