Scientists
The main page for the Scientists category has a table that provides an overview of the three scientists who our website focuses on. Basic and interesting attributes are highlighted in this table so as to act as a quick reference on each individual. The eight categories include picture, name, date of birth and date of death, discoveries/theories/inventions, accolades, field of study, influences, and biography. Each scientist has a link on their name which navigates the user to the page for that scientist. Wherever it is relevant to the individual scientist, this table also includes links to other sections of the webpage that highlight those topics.
By clicking on the column names of the table, the user can sort the table in ascending and descending alphanumeric order based on the content within that column. This provides the user with ease of finding certain topics. This functionality is implemented using a JavaScript
The table is paginated using a J-Query script which defines the displaying of three instances per page.
The individual page for each scientist has a detailed account of the overview of the scientist. This often includes their various accomplishments in the fields they participated in and a little bit of history about who they were. After that included is how they relate specifically to the invention or discovery they are paired to. This includes a bit of history and a more detailed account of how they came about discovering or inventing their great invention/theory. This gives a more in depth view of how they operated as a scientist and often how they interacted with others.
