Week 8 - Fixing bugs, implementing new features, and Javascript

This week I continued expanding features for both the deployment and daily report page. I made my code more efficient by implementing three different ways to display and retrieve data for my deployment page, and I also added a feature so that when you scroll back to past dates on the daily report page, it will show past statuses of instruments (this was the most challenging part of my week, because I had to try many times to get the code right).

I also started learning Javascript this week so that I can implement added functionality to my pages and make them more interactive. Currently I am working on using Javascript to make pop-up comment boxes on my pages so I can save comments back to the database in a user-friendly way. We weren't able to get a meeting with the Astoria field team this week, but hopefully next week I will be able to show them my pages.
