Kevin's Week 5 Report

Right now I am working on getting the drop down buttons to display various options for the user.  The challenge in doing this, is that I must get the different drop downs to communicate with the database.  I am having trouble getting the buttons to access the data within the database.  The way it works is that the user will first have to select a year from the drop down.  To display the available years, the drop down button must access the database and determine which years are available and then display it in the drop down menu.  After the user selects a year, the month drop down button must access the database to see which months are available within that year.  It can then display those months to the user for them to pick.  This process continues until the user has entered in the desired time period information.  I will have to add in a "Submit" button as well, in case the user only wants to view monthly data, then they should leave the day and hour buttons blank.  I cannot get the radio button without the submit button to take them to the next viewing.  If I do it this way, then there is possibility for error as the user can click the day radio button before entering in the specified day, and no data will show up, so the submit button I believe will be a better setup.  I am also working on the same type of format to add and remove graphing lines of different sensors to the graph.
Once I have this step complete, then I can start making the website look more user friendly.  Then I can begin testing out how to take in data from the ethernet connection instead of getting it from a random value source.
