Project Update 10/21/13

     We haven't had a group chat in a while and the fact that I've missed some classes recently doesn't help either, but last time we spoke, I mentioned that I'd work on the script and webpage for the groups test results. It turns out, the only thing I had to write in the script (at least for a Windows command line script) was

    start groupwebpage.html

This automatically starts whatever default browser is set on the clients computer, and loads the specified html file. Of course, the file has to be local for this to work, but you could do it with any website as well. E.g.

    start http://www.google.com

This works the same way. I think it recognizes the http tag and automatically starts whatever program is associated with the protocol, or at least this is what I have read online. So after realizing that the script itself was very easy, I decided to go ahead and work on the webpage. I don't have much yet, but I'm going to be using css styling and hopefully some cool HTML 5 elements as well. We'll see what I can incorporate. I'm thinking something like, if all test cases are successful, display some silly .gif and play victory music in the background or something.
