example source code
celebrityinfo.php

JavaScript for celebrity info
first pass example

Code to generate celebrity information block.

There is a little arrow button. If the user clicks oon the arrow, the timer stops on the current celebrity and the information block on that celebrity is fetched from the server and inserted into the web page. If the user clicks on the arrow again, then the celebrity info disappears and the timer resumes.

Notice that this is a design preview rather than working code. This serves as a static placeholder until the real software is written. This allows testing of the functionality of the JavaScript and AJAX in isolation of the building and testing of a real celebrity information block.
