You should do the five recommended exercises. Do the optional exercises if you want more practice.
Exercises in the Explore section are more challenging. You may need to use HTML and CSS that isn’t covered in CoreDogs. Get ready to Google!

The data comes from the CIA World Fact Book.
There’s lots of data. You can copy from a file with the table already created. It will save you a lot of typing.

Create a page that helps people learn about dogs. The page shows four breeds beginning with B. It should use a <table> to show the dogs.
When the page loads, it looks like this:

Figure 1. Opening screen
When the mouse moves over a dog, two things happen:

Figure 2. Mouse over
When the user clicks on a dog, details of the breed show:

Figure 3. Show details after click
All of the text is from Wikipedia.
When the user moves the mouse off the dog that was clicked, the details are hidden. For example, this is what happens if the user moves the mouse from the Bichon Frise to the Basenji:

Here are the dog images:




The following code might save you some typing.
$('#dog_details').text(
'The Basenji is a breed of hunting dog that was \
bred from stock originating in central Africa. \
Most of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking \
world place the breed in the Hound Group; \
more specifically, it may be classified as belonging \
to the sighthound type.');
$('#dog_details').text(
'A Bichon Frise (French, meaning "curly white lap dog") \
is a small breed of dog of the Bichon type. They are \
popular pets, similar in appearance to, but larger than, \
the Maltese. They are a non-shedding breed that requires \
daily grooming. This lack of shedding makes the Bichon \
Frise a hypoallergenic breed, which is a very good dog \
for people who have allergies.');
$('#dog_details').text(
'The Bloodhound (also known as the St. Hubert hound \
and Sleuth Hound) is a large breed of dog that was \
bred originally to hunt deer and wild boar, later \
specifically to track human beings by scent. It is \
famed for its ability to follow scents hours or \
even days old over great distances.');
$('#dog_details').text(
'The borzoi is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus \
familiaris) also called the Russian wolfhound and \
descended from dogs brought to Russia from central \
Asian countries. It is similar in shape to a greyhound, \
and is also a member of the sighthound family.');
The \ is JavaScript’s line continuation character. It lets you split a statement across lines. Mainly it’s used to split long strings, to make them easier to read in a code editor, like NetBeans.
