A Side Note on Google, Chrome and Dreamhost

While I enjoy some of the perks of Google Chrome and thought it was going to be my dream browser, it is starting to show some cracks. It doesn't handle the Javascript rounded corners as nicely as Firefox and Safari. Of bigger concern is the problems I've had with Yahoo email when in Google Chrome. I thought it was Yahoo at first. But I am beginning to think Google has rigged Chrome to mess with Yahoo. Some days I can't access my Yahoo email at all, but if I switch to another browser everything is fine.
It'll be interesting to see how Chrome plays out and if it can fine tune some of it's imperfections.
Another interesting tidbit: I took a survey from Dreamhost and they asked me if I would leave stay with them if they were bought out by Google. Dreamhost selling out to Google would be a big drag. I have to say, I absolutely would consider a departure. Dreamhost has amazing service, a great product, and incredible support. I can't imagine any of that would survive a buyout.

A11: Rich Text Editor and Upload

I installed the RTE in class and pasted the code in at home. That didn't take very long. We also did the upload element in class. I just had a typo to fix. I ran a test and it works. It took me a few minutes to understand that the numbers associated with the RTE were actually table IDs and needed to be unique. I am now troubleshooting a few different issues:
1) I would like the RTE to actually edit text that exists rather than just add to the existing text. I don't know if this can be done without going into mysql and putting each paragraph in the table.
2) I would like not have a separate editor for each paragraph, but have one editor to edit the text of a page. If I do plug the text for each page into mysql, can I include HTML in the table to take care of paragraphs and the like?
3) Still trying to figure out how to assign different user permissions for table access in the admin area. Can't figure out the magic.
Hopefully can work them out!

A10 and Thumbnails

Chapter 6, homework 10, the extra credit thumbnail piece, and Test 7 took about 4-5 hours. I also did some reformatting of the upload form, admin page, and the 3 separate lists for the menu boxes. The homework went well and was very clear. All of my questions are outside of the scope of the assignment and I sent in an email.
I'm looking forward to taking it to the next level.

A8 and A9

Assignment 8 - Paging. It didn't take very long to complete. Maybe 15 minutes after fiddling around with number of pages I wanted.
Assignment 9 - Admin Page. I completed this assignment in class. It was relatively straight forward, though I don't understand how to change Table access permissions for separate users with nmEdit. I do understand that I create separate versions of nmEdit for various levels of access, but not sure how I then associate those separate versions with the admin page so that when a lower level user logs in the lower level access version of nmEdit attaches.
