Things you can do with a database if you only find a good enough reason to do them

This one is a "progress report". In this particular case each entry is a module under development and each module has three components. Each component may be assigned the following statuses: Not_Started, In_Progress, Completed, Maintenance. The main point here is the visual effect in the list view. The effect is produced by adding to the css template css classes with the statuses as class names and background-color definitions (e.g. .Not_Started {background-color:#ff6666;}), and adding to the td element in the table of the list view the class property with the fields value (e.g. <td class="||item1Status||">||item1Status||</td> (|| stands for square brackets))

Itamar, thanks for your database activity idea - the list view looks great! 
Any chance you could provide a template of the database to make it easy for others to use your idea?

Sure I'll post it soon. By the way this idea is probably more a teaching tip and trick then a teaching strategy so perhaps it should be moved to the "Teaching tips and tricks" forum. At any rate I have a couple of more TYCDWDIYOFGERTDTs which I'll post sometime soon next to this thread wherever I find it.

I'd love to see the preset for this very interesting database setup and idea also. I realize I'm pulling on an old thread here, but please post the preset if you still have it at hand. Thanks!
