I lied in my last post, I'm still adding new features. I just added a drop down box in the DJ detail page under the points tab that lets the user select which semester they want to see the points for. It will default to the current semester and only allows one semester at a time. I did not make this work via AJAX because I didn't think it was really necessary. I am going to extend this same functionality to the points list, but I may make that allow for multiple semesters to be added together in a single search.

I also started working on a search save/bookmarking system. It will start out for just music searches, but will also be added to the DJ search after I revamp that whole system. This will allow DJs to save a set of search criteria that they can then load up in a single click. I'm actually not entirely sure how I'm going to do this now. The easy way would be to just save the URL to the search with the criteria saved in the URL, but that would make the page refresh and negate the AJAX. The best way would be to save all of the criteria and then iterate through it to fill our the form. This will take longer, but I think it's the better way to do it.

I got the entry editing code in and mostly working. I went with the simple ID of clicking the edit icon and having ELCRo delete that line and move the info to the normal form at the bottom of the page and adjust the clock.

the only problem that i'm having is for songs with ID numbers. I want the lookupalbum() function to run to get the location for the album, but that interferes with the deleteentry() function.

Still trying to find a work around for this.

I added a checkbox to hide the times in program logs so that users can copy and paste to their blogs. I think the checkbox is in a logical place and it seems that at 1024x768 everything on the line with the sorting options fits perfectly. Though now I'm thinking that I need more options, like to hide the album ID numbers and to de-link the song entries. I don't know where to put all of these options! Too much stuff and not enough room!

In other news, I'm still having the issue where other log entries come up. I can't figure it out. I have the same log open in Firefox and IE. The Firefox one is fine, but in IE, it's showing a different log. I don't get it. Refreshing isn't helping now.

I gave up on the .reset() method for clearing forms and decided to just stick with manually clearing each field.
