You know you’re a nerd when you’re excited to learn about making lists, tables, and forms with HTML5! Interactive elements are still new to me and I’m looking forward to learning more about them.
For my revised future resume, I used <ul> to create a nested unordered list of my job descriptions and imaginary achievements. I used <table> to create a list of references.
I was excited to learn about elements like <search> and <form> in the class discussions. I wanted to use them in my resume, such as allowing users to search my resume for keywords or letting them answer the question, “How did you hear about me?” Alas, I quickly realized that while I could create the face of the interaction using HTML, I needed JavaScript and a server to post the search results and collect the users’ responses!
Someday, JavaScript. Someday…
I searched for a different interactive element to use and found <details> and <summary>, which enabled me to collapse and reveal my profile photo with the click of a button! Special thanks to MDN for all their examples!
I’m pleased with how much I remembered and learned over the past two weeks. I’m looking forward to learning more in Week 3!
