Hi all, Im trying to build a web app that will allow me to feed in a list of websites in .txt format. Then go through them one by one to see if they're live and then return back a message if they're live of dead. Ive very little practical knowledge of php so any idea on where to start would be great :/ I guess a good place to start would be to build something that can correctly read the .txt file?

Fantastic!

Anyone?

http://kevintuck.co.uk/downloads/ppcv2/ As you can see, the menu items are just 'sitting' at the bottom of the div container :/

thanks for the reply but the didn't work :/

Ive been trying to work this out for a few hours. Trusty Google isn't really helping so maybe you clever bastards can Here's my code... <div id="menu"> <div id="navigation"> <ul id="nav"> <li class="current"> <a href="#">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">Services</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">About</a> </li> <li> <a href="#">Contact</a> #menu { height:36px; background:url(images/menu_bg.gif) repeat-x; } #navigation { float:right; height: 36px; width:298px; } # nav { line-height:75px; } #nav li { float: left; list-style: none; font-family:arial, helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:0.8em; font-weight: bold; color: black; display: block; } #nav a { font-weight: bold; color:white; text-decoration: none; display: block; padding: 0 8px 0 8px; -webkit-border-radius: 8px; -moz-border-radius: 8px; } #nav a:hover { color: black; background: white; border-top: solid 1px #f8f8f8; padding: 0 8px 0 8px; } My items at the moment are just sitting on the bottom of the div. No additional parameters I can think of will help :/

Bit of both. I can design a good looking website (in my opinion of coarse). But im not afraid to get my hands dirty with the coding (HTML/CSS/Javascript (still trying to master..) and a bit of PHP where needed). I guess the term 'front-end developer' suites most people like me best. The term 'web designer' is very broad nowadays.

I went for a junior job a while ago and the pay was around £18k. £23k does seem a tad on the high side... but if you insist... just send me details of where to apply

@keva161

I made my own website and im kinda a big deal...

I love that analogy

Ive not done anything yet with HTML5.... im looking forward to playing around with it though The media function's excite me...

I was always under the impression that; - Fonts = em's - Anything else (content divs etc) % The reason being is that x's are relative to the machine. So 10 px on your machine, wont look the same as on another monitor.

http://webdevconf.com/ Im thinking about attending as Bristol is right near me and it'll be good to mingle with other designers and get some inspiration It'll be my first conference though so it would be nice to meet up with others who are going..

I love it.. from a design perspective of course One question though... what is the site for exactly??

What are you look for exactly? PM me as im interested in helping, to build up my portfolio.

I don't like the pale blue background at the top of the home page. the further on down you scroll though, the better it gets Overall though, its not a bad job

I use Coda on the Mac for all my coding. But when DIV's sometimes clash. I like to look at their boundaries in Dreamweaver. Can anyone recommend a free program that does this?

Its a very nice site.. it has potential. It has a good idea behind it. A good skill base for building PC's (from what ive read). But, considering most of those PC's on your site are several hundred pounds. I would think twice before giving my details to you. Based on the sites design alone of course. Look at Dell, Apple, HP, Toshiba etc etc.. Try to take what's GOOD about their designs and try to inject some of it into yours. At the moment, it's very, very bland.

Only passed my test last year and still on my first car. A 1999 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.25. Not expensive to drive but I wont upgrade it unless I win the lottery

FF takes an age to load up compared to FF for me (a few seconds difference really but im an impatient git..) I also much prefer the 'feel' of Chrome... whatever that means.

On my MacBook Pro, Firefox has always been sluggish to open compared to Chrome. Chrome FTW!

Her face is rather orange...

Coming from someone who is learning PHP at the moment. I would say that videos are the best way to learn the basics. Lynda.com, Youtube etc... Then get hold of an open source php project and disassemble it. See how it works

Personally, im inspired just by reading a book or by listening to a piece of music. Im also inspired by other designs and trying to push myself to, not replicate them but make them better What does it for you?
