Dynamic, Interactive 2006 NFL Schedule...

[lkkl]

All:

The newest version of my dynamic, interactive 2006 NFL Schedule is now complete!

I have incorporated data from NFL.com and DirecTV.com, while accounting for all byes, games, times, networks, NFL Sunday Ticket channels, etc!!

I like it, but I have to re-size my window every time to make the logos line up.

Thanks :up:

Nice work.
But please, pretty please, don't resize my window. It's a nice resource, but if it always pops a full screen window, then I'll never use it.

It looks great but nothing happens when I click on a team. Should I get a popup window?

All:

Hours upon hours go into this code every year. The reason being because NFL.com and DirecTv.com change their websites constantly, i.e. change look and layout!!

I use VBA (Excel macros) each year to generate the JavaScript code used to populate all the data. Without VBA, manually creating the JavaScript would be a nightmare each new season's schedule.

Regarding the formatting, what browser are you using to view the site?

The reason I ask is because I have tailored the website for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) only since the coding took such an extensive amount of time!!

Regarding the resizing of the windows, the purpose for it is so that the new window opens with all team data, images, and schedules aligned accordingly.

Additionally, the new windows can be quickly closed with the Close Window buttons.

Yeah, always click on all links/images; for each team's schedule, I have provided quick links on the lower left to check out the competitors' schedules for all teams in the same division.

If you want to see the full effects, simply use IE (screen resolution: 1024 by 768 pixels) instead of other browsers!!

Glad you liked it though!

Works for me! Nice job.

Thanks, I am using IE, but my screen rez is different, that's why it's not lining up. Hope you didn't take it as cracks, because I m TOTALLY impressed with what you've done. Can I link to it from my own site?

Here is something for you to try...

Talk about HARD!!!!

Take the IP of the computer used to open the site and based upon the IP, get the location,
and then show the Local Channel instead of the hardcoded channels for your location...

Just look at it as a challenge. I like what you've done.

Billy66,

No offense ever taken; I'm glad to have some beta testers out there... :p Yes, by all means please link to it from your site!!

wmschultz,

On another website, one had suggested tailoring it to the user's location, i.e. time zone, etc. So, for next season, I just may try to incorporate his suggestion for time zone as well yours for local channels.

Good thoughts all!!

Thanks much,

In summary, here is the user's guide:

To view a particular team's schedule, click on their helmet image to open up a new browser window displaying their 2006 NFL Schedule. Additionally, I have provided quick reference images/radio buttons below the current team's crest image to view each division opponent's schedule.

The week radio buttons are used to display in a new browser window the schedule for a given week including all byes and games for each team.

Within all schedules, team as well as week, click on an image to open up a new browser window of that team's official website, NFL.com, or SuperBowl.com respectively.

Nice work. My only real complaint is that the time zones don't reflect the team you're looking at. Don't mind that it's geared toward Pacific users, but if you're going to offer it to the world you should probably tailor each team site to their local time.

but you've already discussed that.
