Lab 5 Reflection Journal

            For this lab we had to create a box using CSS and HTML which we will manipulate in various ways using jQuery. First in the lab I created a div which would be my box which would be manipulated later through various buttons that when clicked upon would run jQuery code and animate the box to do various things like moving up and down or grow bigger or smaller or just plain become transparent.
            After creating the box and then moved on to create various buttons and giving each of them specific id's which would come in handy when creating the animations. Finally after all the buttons were created and with the completion of the box then the jQuery came in within my JS file I implemented JQ by also linking a jQuery library to my page which allows me to use jQuery. By using the jQuery animate I was able to manipulate the box to do various things which I found pretty cool. I even made a CRAZY button which did multiple things in order such as making the box move up and down and left and right and turn to a circle and back and grow bigger and smaller all that fun stuff.
            This skills are very important to a web designer as it adds to their arsenal of various code which they can implement to every single one of their projects and know I will for sure try to add animations to my projects because it adds that PAZAZZZ to a webpage which will attract people to my work.
