/*

selecting and traversing exercises

- get the third list item (hint: eq())
- change its color to red
- change the color of the rest of the list items to blue
- *without doing another selection*, find the div.module
	and remove the class module
	
- get the h1
- store its text in a variable
- use the stored text as the text for the first 
	list item
	
bonus points:
- change the background color of *every other*
	table row (hint: use :odd or :even)
*/

/*

manipulation exercises 

- add five new list items to the end of the unordered list (hint: for (i=0; i<5; i++) { ... } )

- remove the odd list items (hint: .remove())

- add another h2 and another paragraph to div.module

- add a new div.module to the page after the existing one; put a copy of the existing unordered list inside it.

/* 

first: create a .js file in the js directory. include it in the index.html file at the bottom of the file, after jQuery is included

animation exercise: slideshow

- use index.html
- move ul#hero to the top of the page, above the h1
- cycle through the list items in ul#hero: fade one in, display it for a few seconds, then fade it out and fade in the next one
- bonus: create a nav item under the slideshow showing how many images there are and which image you're on (2 of 3, e.g.)


animation exercise: reveal

- use index.html; working with div#blog (you may want to add a couple of headline/excerpt items to the div)
- write css to initially hide #blog p (you can just do this in the head)
- make it so that clicking on a headline in div#blog slides down the excerpt
- make it so that clicking on another headline slides down its excerpt, and slides up any currently showing excerpt

/* 

first: create a .js file in the js directory. include it in the menu.html file at the bottom of the file, after jQuery is included

ajax exercise: menu
- use menu.html; working with ul#menus
- create a container div where you'll put an html response (up to you where this goes; you may want to make one for the lunch section, one for the dinner section, etc.)
- bind an event to #menus a
- this event will need to get the "hash" portion of the URL of the clicked <a> (hint: get the href attribute, then .split('#'), then use the second element of the resulting array (myUrl.split('#')[1]) )
- use the hash to build a URL for the ajax request: html/stirfry.html, for example
- send an ajax request to the URL
- use the response of the request to populate the container div you created

ajax exercise: specials
- use index.html; working with div#specials
- append a div after the form; this will be where you put information about the special once you receive it
- write code so that changing the choice in the select menu sends an ajax request
- the ajax request should point to json/specials.json
- the ajax request should expect to receive json back from the server
- use the json response you receive to add some elements to the div
- you may want to look at json/specials.json to see the format of the data you'll receive
