Section 2. The Process

We made the mistake of worrying too much about the look of the website rather than the actual code and work that needed to be put in behind the relational database, and we ended up having a lovely website with a tiny search bar that did nothing thinking we were way ahead of everyone else. When we finally realised how behind we were we made a login button to make it relational, however it didn't properly work until the very end of the project. Our main complication was getting the login to actually save the inputted information. When we clicked on the login button nothing would happen. We also came across plenty of struggles such as not getting the search bar to indicate where the search would be located. What we planned on doing was typing in something into the search bar, that being the input, for example, 'blue dress' then when the submit button is pressed it will take you down to the section of the page that had a blue dress, that being the output. Which would show that the information inputted was saved. But that still didn't work for us. So we decided to leave that and come back to it at the end if we had time. The HTML, CSS and Java Script were all doable, the sqlite was the hardest part of the entire code.The relational database was indeed our downfall. We spent less time attempting to configure it and more coming up with ideas that will create a relational database which also fit in and can be applied to our website. We believe we started too complicated -for example we thought of ideas such as making a shopping cart and researched this however we soon concluded we had no time for such and that it was too complicated. Finally at the end of our project we realised our main problem for our login button not working. In our code we made it that the button was supposed to call a function when it was pressed, but we never actually made that function so nothing was happening. I think we were overthinking it so much that we didn't even realise that the problem was as simple as that. So we began to make changes to the project to try get the login button to save the information we need. Thankfully,we finally realised where we were going wrong and rectified the mistake in relation to the login button.However our sign up form which is meant to be our connection for the relational database still doesnt operate 100% successfully.However we still do have a relational database as our UserDetails table and LoginDetals table are connected joined by the use of ID. The project meets the brief's requirements, including the relational database, which we have two of (the search bar and login system).
