what kind of fucking web dev forgets a doctype.

Edited:

the first thing everyone should type in their html file should be

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>

then why are you making someone a website when you have no knowledge?

Edited:

what do you call yourself?

Sprite · 10th January 2012

Because it pays? I'm a wage slave, what can I say?

They call me Orion... but you already know that ;)
As far as my occupation?

Code:

#top-widget-area #top-podcast,
#top-widget-area #top-left,
#top-widget-area #top-right,
#top-widget-area #top-center {
	background-image: URL;
        float: left;
        margin-right: 14px;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        padding: 5px;
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 1px;
	border-color: #ffffff;
}

The <div> tags calling on those id's refuse to load the image. They'll load anything else I throw in there, but I cannot get div tags to support a background image.

I got this legal question, I am making a Tumblr blog template and I want to know if it is legal for me to use the 960 Grid Library and distribute it, it is protected under GNU and MIT licenses. I am not going to sell it. Do I need to give a copyright notice? I looked at a website that used it and I see no obvious markings about it.

The library:
http://960.gs/

Website that uses it but doesn't give reference to a library:
http://fedoraproject.org/

Still need advice here please!

alright, firstly, the green box needs a scrollbar. It's a div.
Second, it needs to not go out of bounds like the blue one does.
Info is blue, main is green

Code:

#info
{
	background-color:#0053ff;
	position:fixed;
	height:513px;
	width:255px;
	margin:auto;
	top:255px;
	left:-769px; 
	right:0;
	z-index:2;
}
#main
{
	background-color:#3F0;
	position:fixed;
	height:513px;
	width:769px;
	margin:auto;
	top:255px;
	left:256px; 
	right:0;
	z-index:3;
}

1) overflow-x:auto;

2) word-wrap:break-word;

you should really never use position:fixed unless you want something staying on the same place as you scroll down the page.

my screen height is too small and doesn't make up the whole page.

1. yeah thats what I want
2. Dunno what to do with this. Your window is really small? I'm working with a 1024 x 768 default, since 800*600 is too small to work with.

also, what method do you suggest when putting Blog, Music and Contact on the very left above each other?

Let's talk about Responsive Web Design.

Obviously mobile devices are getting more and more popular, so my thinking is that I need to wrap (no pun intended) my head around fluid-grid systems and frameworks that will let me start to design for websites that adapt themselves to look good in any device.

Been doing some reading this morning and came across a list of a bunch of responsive web design templates and frameworks at http://designmodo.com/responsive-templates-frameworks, but I'm curious to know if any of you who have experience in designing responsive websites have a personal favorite, and if so, why?

Right now, I'm looking into the "Skeleton" framework just because I've seen several developers use it in their websites. Curious to hear other people's input on this!

**kragmars102** · 11th January 2012

I'm fairly sure they use PHP to get the server's statistics then take that data an create in image through PHP. that's why the image source is someimage.php and not someimage.jpg

Code:

  function checkForUrls($body) {
    $reg_exUrl = '/(http:|https:|ftp:|ftps:)\/\/[a-z0-9A-Z.]+(?(?=[\/])(.*))/';
    preg_match_all($reg_exUrl, $body, $matches);
    $usedPatterns = array();
    foreach($matches[0] as $pattern){
      if(!array_key_exists($pattern, $usedPatterns)){
        $usedPatterns[$pattern] = true;
		$img['exp'] = explode('/',$pattern);
		$img['len'] = count($img['exp']);
		$img['ext'] = $img['exp'][($img['len']-1)];
		$img['ext'] = explode('.',$img['ext']);
		if(in_array($img['ext'][1],array('jpg','jpeg','png','gif'))) {
		  $body = str_replace($pattern, "<img class='fromlink' width='520' src='".$pattern."' title='".$pattern."'/><span class='_src'><b>source: </b><a href=".$pattern.">{$pattern}</a>", $body);
		} else {
          $body = str_replace($pattern, "<a href=".$pattern.">{$pattern}</a>", $body);
		}
      }
    }
	return $body;
  }

The above takes urls in normal test for e.g. "This is some test with a link to google http://google.com" and it would turn it into a link. this works, for unlimited amount of links. However when it comes to using links such as: http://ezyimg.info/cdn/ECIJF7QX.jpg it works, but when there is multiple links such as http://ezyimg.info/cdn/ECIJF7QX.jpg http://ezyimg.info/cdn/BI9PEPUM.jpg the result is as followed:

Code:

<a href="http://ezyimg.info/cdn/ECIJF7QX.jpg" "" http:="" ezyimg.info="" cdn="" xhgbdz7u.jpg="">http://ezyimg.info/cdn/ECIJF7QX.jpg or http://ezyimg.info/cdn/XHGBDZ7U.jpg</a>

SOLVED.

Probably better to be a freelancing web designer rather than a hourlyrate web designer.

Fuck! :D
Found my ass in a job where I'm paid $12 an hour to create website designs -_-'
I'm not even front end savvy

Opinions on "freelancing vs hourly rate"

I'm thinking freelancing... considering it pays better

Dear Mac People... Do you see what I see?
For some reason the "As Recommended By:" box is not appearing on my co-workers' mac-laptops.

This link ( http://myproviderwebcapital.com/heal...tal-financing/ ) should look similar to this image

I'm working an internship... (one I actually asked to work for free)
I'm not bitching about being the 99%. That's why I'm trying hard to make innovations that make life easier for all.

I've worked for $18 an hour before.

Anyone have any extensive knowledge on .htaccess?

I've got a rule set up which moves all non www. traffic to www.domain.com (google.com > www.google.com)
Is there anyway I can insert an exception? I.e. if the url is domain.com/blog/wp-admin/* it won't force it to redirect to the www. version?

I'm using a shared SSL certificate, and I've managed to get it working but only when the url is non-www. But because I've got a rule which redirects all non www. to www. it fucks the entire thing up.

This is the snippet I'm using in my wp-config, it might make more sense.

Code:

define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://domain.ssldomain.com/blog');
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-content');

**jaybuz** · 13th January 2012

Remove the www rule. It's pointless and makes your url longer.

I wish I could, It's not my decision though. The company I work for are really into the www. I have no idea why though. Apparently it's good for seo?
