Foundation by Zurb

The framework library by Zurb allows for an arsenal of visual and technical effects and abilities. One of the biggest reasons for adding it was for the ability to make use of a grid-system that would allow for styling panels and divs to be side by side without having to manually set each section.

Another benefit is the javascript animations that we used for displaying the search results when searching the poem and lexicon.

There's a webpage file that has some examples of the elements included by foundation - but there are instances that we can see foundation used in the project itself.

Examples of the foundation library can be found on the index page, and indexes page. The buttons and spacing of elements uses the styling and grid system added by Foundation.

When loading a poem, the table styling for alternating coloring for each line is an addition to the styling of Foundation.

Right clicking an item in a loaded poem and running one of the queries also displays a modal that's added by Foundation.

###Jquery

Jquery is added in via script tags to some pages, mainly the dynamically loaded poem pages, and allows us to pull data via XML files and manipulate data with more flexibility.
