Coding

I've started work on coding an online survey.

My first idea was to have someone draw a background and some icons (I have very limited drawing skills) and then I would code the negative icons to disappear when clicked. The code would record which negative icons were clicked in what order. Next the positive items that people wanted ( in ranked order) could be dropped into place.

This worked and I had it coded and working in a couple of days:

 However, the drawing was terrible and all the artists were busy with their own questions so I changed my idea and used photography. I went out originally to find positive objects that I could use to be dragged and dropped but I couldn't find any. I instead found all of the negative icons I was looking for and more.

This was the result:

I then played around with code and the different options I had. In the end I went with a simple mouseover image change and ranking system. I think this works better because it doesn't detract from the images which are pretty striking.

Here it is:

All that was left to do was programme the survey to record the information which it did using an array: 

Andy took over the second part of the question which asked what people wanted in the area.
