this week task of me is to finish testimonial on sunday

after new schedule we confirmed on Wednesday, I am going to finish testimonial by Sunday. So i am now developing the testimonial.

new schedule

Because I saw the schedule has a bit brief, didn't describe details, So i create one more with exactly date to finish which part, and now going to send to max and dennis to check.

i think Dennis has a bit overconfidence, he always do his work in last min, and he always said:"ok,ok, should be fine." But finally, he doesn't come out with his work on time. We can show sympathy for him because he has Five units in this semester. So now, max and i decide to get back the main function to do, will give Dennis to do sub system.

We originally conform to use VB.net, and Dennis said he is fine for any language, but when we meeting to check our progress, Dennis comes out with his work in C#, then we ask he why, he just said he doesn't like VB.net. So now max and i need to change to C#. And we just told Dennis next time remember to communicate with us first.

this week for the main menu

i hv spent four days of this week to do the menu, i do so many research on Menu control in asp.net2.0, coz i need the image in the main menu which can easy be modified later, coz the client hasn't build their Suite yet, so they can't provide the photos for the website at this moment, they want to edit by themselves later on.
Finally, i use static item template to do this, i put two hyperlink control in one item, one with image, and one is just text, and both bind it to sitemap file which can be modified easily, after that code the hover style.
This main menu finally works ok, but may need to test more, and need to do a page for client able to edit sitemap file.

And now, there is another problem, the page layout works perfectly in IE6.0, but when i open in Mozilla, the layout is totally wrong, just like the following.
i think there is difference of div tag between IE and Mozilla, after i google this, i found the mozilla calculate the div width and height from the content, and IE is calculated from the border, that 's why the text move up and overlap the image. now i am searching the solution of this problems.

Functions

max is developing the customer side booking function, dennis is developing the admin side booking function, then i am going to finish the CMS function, then i will move to upload image function. hopefully, we can finish at the end of this month or a week more.

Still Developing

So far is ok I think, but just a bit slow, coz i am just still setting up the CMS stuffs, and need to do research how to do this CMS. Finally, we decide to do in XML. Luckily, I hv tested and tried successfully of binding data from XML to asp.net and manage it.


By the way, coz Dennis, our development manager, absent last week because of sick, so we can't discuss how we separate and develop the sub system of Arlyia. Then max and i just do some research and think how we implement the sub system.

I think we will plan which sub system should be done in when this week, so we can finish implement the system earlier and start testing.
