Alien Sightings

Background

The extra-terrestrial has come to Earth and the details of sightings have been collected from eye-witness reports.

Objective

Write code that will create a table dynamically based using data records of alien sightings. Provide users the option to filter the table data for specific values using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and D3.js.

Tasks

Automatic Table and Date Search

• Create a basic HTML web page.
• Using the UFO dataset provided in the form of an array of JavaScript objects, write code that appends a table to your web page and then adds new rows of data for each UFO sighting.
• Organize table into columns for date/time, city, state, country, shape, and comment at the very least.
• Use a date form in your HTML document and write corresponding JavaScript code that will take user input and search through the date/time column to find rows that match.

Multiple Search Categories

• Using multiple input tags and/or select dropdowns, write JavaScript code so the user can to set multiple filters and search for UFO sightings using the following criteria based on the table columns:
  1. date/time
  2. city
