Welcome to the website of La Salle Robotics Team 1350, also know as the "Rambots". We are one of thousands of teams that compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition, open to any high school student willing to sign up. FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is an organization that promotes engineering in a fun, competitive, sportsman-like way. Each year returning members, along with new members come together to solve various mechanical and programming challenges that FIRST assigns. Founded in 2004, our team consists of 7th and 8th graders from our middle school PEGASUS program up to 12th grade seniors. Since then, we have had various teacher and alumni support. La Salle Robotics Team is located at La Salle Academy Providence, Rhode Island. We are fortunate enough to have the support of Brown University and Professor Jerry Daniels who grants us the use of Brown's Prince Labs and equipment. This website contains many documents such as the 2007 FIRST manual, pictures from past years, and interesting tidbits of information about the FIRST Robotics league and our Team 1350. Have a look around to get to know us better, browse, and have fun!
As you can see, I have the color picker now working. Just 6 more UI buttons left!
I\'ve been working on the post ui. Man this is annoying! I\'ve pretty much resolved all the dropdown menu issues. They work awesomely now! (with just a slight compromise)
I\'m still working on finishing all of the stuff in the UI bar. I\'m on the color picker right now. In the meantime, I\'ve added a js calendar on the date bar, so you can easily pick any date recently before or after the current date.
Oh by the way, I changed the index page php script a bit to be like the aboutus one. It works more efficiently and fixes a few bugs. :D
Issues left to be resolved are:
| IE Fixes - addtable function, all addTag functions are messed up, check cursor positioning functions too... *sigh* >:( |
| new post edit - make sure added tags with no text are not erased |
| auto paragraphing minutiae - iron out paragraphing inconsistencies... ;_; |
| special characters - like > must be converted and reversed |
| image uploader - hmm, seems interesting... |
| table and list insertion - i dunno. o_o |
| add undo button - probably with javascript undo history thingy |
***** FINAL TODO LIST *****
[ ]Make HTML UI for posting functions
[ ]Populate Updates and template page tables with content
[ ]ADD POST SWITCHING FUNCTIONALITY SO THAT ONE MAY SWITCH POSTS IN NORMAL PAGES. NOTE - THIS MEANS THAT EVERY TABLE MUST MANAGE IT\'S OWN ID ;_;
[ ]Add full admin privileges option to rest of website
[ ]Scouting

I have javascript text-insertion working for a few buttons. It's ugly since I'm using my own lousy auto-paragraphing algorithm. (It differentiates between single line breaks and paragraphs ...barely) In summation, it works but it's ugly.
I'll start working on specialized functions such as image uploading and text-size now. Oh by the way, I need to figure out how to manipulate the cursor so it stays where it is clicked.
for(int i = 0; i >= invalids.length; i++)
System.out.println("You are stupid.");
Assert("You neglected to mention the sleeper sofa.");
while(true)
{
I like waffles.
}
.
You know, it really isn't paradise in a pre tag. Double line breaks are filtered out as paragraph tags and less than signs are taken as the start of a tag, causing the removal of many innocent pre residents. You can come up with the solution to stop this meaningless carnage.

Should I put in syntax highlighting?
This is a blockquote. Wurd. IMMA TYPIN' TYPIN' TYPIN'TYPIN' TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN'TYPIN' TYPIN'TYPIN'

Okay! I found a solution to putting in tags such as pre and blockquote that are block tags and break the paragraph. It's cleaner too!

Ugh...
I forget the '/'s in a preg_match regular expression and I lose my post data... ;_;
I think I was talking about something to do with the HTMLPurifier? No! That was last post...
Uh... Must have been the posting UI. Anyway, I'm working on auto paragraphing right now so that the text-alignment tags and other such tags will work. This is ANNOYING. And HARD.

I NEED TO ADD FUNCTIONALITY TO SWITCH THE ORDER OF POSTS. AAUUUUUGGGH!!!
I've been working on other parts of the website since HTMLPurifier and the html input system is problematic.
Heh, got HTMLPurifier to work! I had php's magic quotes enabled. I read about it somewhere but for some reason, I ignored it. :P
Also, the html input is going to be problematic. I don't even know how to use javascript to manipulate selected text. (Although I don't think this will be the hard part) How do I get [pre] to work? It splits the paragraph tag. I'll have to find a workaround (I think it involves 'a' tags and display: block).
Well, for good news, I've made some progress with the general website template. I've started the format for the About page. This new data also allowed me to perfect the last part of the navigation bars (finally!). They now show anchors correctly using a finished populateNavMenus() function.
Umm.. That's it for now... ;_;

I now have to refine the posting system. I am about 24.1% done with the entire website.
(The pre tag is breaking the auto-paragraphing system) Machine code is no more! z00b sdfjafjdajdsf jsadfkjasd fjksa djfka jdsfksad
Ugh, I didn't know there was so much code involved in making something like this. It's kind of messy because I should encapsulate it more into constituent functions, but it'll work. I think it is good enough for this website.
Haha! After a week of bumbling around I restored the website to its former state. Now I have added HTMLPurifier! A bit bloated, but man, does it work! Mwhahahahhaha!!!
