ubikuberalles' Blog - New version of the Powerball Picker

RSS Bot · December 20, 2006

I've completed version 1.2 of the Powerball picker. Here it is.

As you can see, I've made a number of changes. First of all I added more content by including a picture from the official Powerball site and a link to the latest winning numbers. I've also changed the look of the Powerball display.

The biggest change, however, is the ability to display new numbers without requiring a refresh of the page. A simple click on a button will now do it. This new ability is possible thanks to some code provided by Cybergoth. Thanks!

I learned a lot about Javascript with this little project. A lot more than I would have by simply reading a book (or even the w3schools tutorial I just finished). I'm done with the Powerball Picker (although I may port it to Flash 8.0 Actionscript) and so I must think of another program to implement in Javascript. Startrek on Javascript? A possibility I may consider but I'll want to implement a simpler program first.
