Thanks for the suggestions, but I've already implemented a system from above, as I posted I like the idea of a program that can use close-key sensing to determine actual suggestions, but I think it would take a LOT of work and I still have to HTML the rest of the site and build the flight-booking system by mid-march.

I also added the ucfirst() function to the search suggestions, thanks for the idea! I have now replaced that with a similar function I found called ucwords() which will work better if the airline should ever decided to fly to a place with a two-word name.

Would people who have been following this thread be interested in testing out the booking feature when it is done to suggest improvements?
Yeah, sure!
I also

I'll be happy to do a little testing once it comes out. smile

I think you should do at least 2 scanners.

- Method 1 scan
-- continue if no match was found
-- but if a match is found, return it
- Method 3 scan, cap at: 75%
-- continue if no match was found
-- but if a match is found, return it
- at this point, there are no scanners to scan left; record as not matched

RETURN:
- if misspelled but matched, alert "Did you mean (match)?"
- if misspelled and not matched, alert "What did you mean?" and let user select from a list and try returning the correct spelling selected from the list
- if not misspelled, don't alert anything special

The time has come. I need a load of bookings on the site. The site isn't finished and it hasn't been beautified yet, but the booker is working and I need some data to get it tested smile

Booking requires your email but this won't be used anywhere. You can enter something else if you don't want to share it, but if people confirmed that they received the first draft of the booking confirmation that would be very helpful!

I was astounded to discover that for this coursework, our code is NOT being looked at or marked. That's right. They don't care about the code as long as it looks good and works. I spent AGES on systems that allow more flights to be added etc and they're not even going to see it!

So do we need to do anything for you?

If people want to book flights, you can do so.

Cool site!
I won't show my mom the thing about children on your lap, or she might go crazy. tongue
You should make the bookerbutton a submit, so enter works. And flightresults.php should have POST data.

Hardmath123 · 2012-03-26 05:34:20

I booked a return trip which returns before it leaves, you may want to patch that up. tongue

The way content changes so fast whenever you press a button or edit a text box it weird. Two suggestions there:
1. Use CSS boxes to give each section a fixed structured height so that the whole page doesn't change in size when you, say, un-check the insurance button.
2. Make the snippets of text which change based on your inputs a different color or size or font so you aren't confused when you see something flicker below the screen.

And how about supporting dollars for Americans?

Anyway, good job, keep it up! smile

Hardmath123 · 2012-03-26 05:39:38

Also, the question mark background on the info page it distracting and makes the page hard to read. But I love the animation, that's really cool. big_smile

For some odd reason, I can't get that URL to work. hmm

Is this what you meant? http://www.accidentalgames.com/webair/

EDIT: Whoops! I'm flying from Bristol to Bristol...you might want to fix that.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

What thing about children on laps?

I agree about the question mark, I didn't put it there.

I hurried the booking code a little but I didn't realise that you could fly into the sky and land again in the same airport, thanks for pointing that out!

The thing about holding a child. She's very into safety. Not important. tongue

LS97 · 2012-03-26 11:19:03

May I suggest a drop-down with suggestions based on the first few keystrokes, for the quick book?

scratchisthebest · 2012-03-26 16:11:24

Hmmm... clicking really fast on all the tabs on the FAQ page opens more than one, then closing one closes all of them.

The finished site was marked today, we got 13/15 which is pretty good considering all the glitches, but we still got the highest mark in the group!

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

So, rounded, you got an 87%. Not bad! Did they give feedback as to what should be improved?

Hardmath123 · 2012-03-27 02:37:28

PHP automatically put it into scientific notation.

No feedback, which I think is a real shame. My group lost most of our marks because our admin system was terrible, we only really had time to concentrate on the front-end tongue

Thanks for all suggestions and tips everyone smile

And yet I can't help but feel this has gone really off-topic.

I'm not sure setting the title as 'chocolate? Did you mean Bristol?' really defines any boundaries for what is offtopic smile

Though judging from the first page, it was intended to be about string-matching. But then, that chapter is closed, and we're talking about the big project now, so I think it's fine. smile

Hey Sparks, wouldn't this do better in one of the forums you rarely (for now at least) venture to? tongue Guess which one. xD
MAC

sparks · 2012-04-10 06:50:52

Are you talking about the coder's shed? I think this discussion is more or less over anyway, I've documented my code and it's been discussed a bit tongue I'll try and get over to the coder's shed more often soon smile

sci_test · 2012-04-10 06:52:35

No, here on Scratch. tongue Try highlighting the blank part of my post, the answer's there.
And yeah, please do!
