Hello, 2 questions. 1) Why do you want to use that dreamweaver generated crap anyway? As soon as you start tweaking it, it gets confusing. 2) Why this is so simple and primitive: <script> document.getElementById("button").onclick=function() { input1=document.getElementById("input1); input2=document.getElementById("input2); alert((input1.value)*(input2.value)); return false; } </script> <form id="form"> <input type="text" id="input1" /> <input type="text" id="input2" /> <input type="button" id="button" value="pressme" /> </form> This is just a rough example, I'm pretty sure it won't work on medieval browsers. You have to modify it for production use. Over and out.

What exactly is not working? Because not even looking more thoroughly: depending on configuration of Apache/PHP it might not recognize your opening/closing php tags, why don't you use <?php ?> Try cleaning up a little and see if it works: <?php $rawPhoneNumber = "800-555-5555"; $phoneChunks = explode("-", $rawPhoneNumber); echo ("Raw Phone Number = " . $rawPhoneNumber . " <br />"); echo ("First chunk = " . $phoneChunks[0] . "<br />"); echo ("Second chunk = " . $phoneChunks[1] . "<br />"); echo ("Third Chunk chunk = " . $phoneChunks[2]); ?>

Wait a minute... you have to communicate with them? Dammit, so that's what I was doing wrong... Gonna have to break radio silence.

Creating something from scratch is always more beneficial. From experience point of view.

Well, for starters I would get my own domain. A web developer without his own domain is like a driver without a car. Having a blog on your own website enables you to show some fancy tricks, especially if you're leaning towards cutting edge stuff like HTML5 and CSS3.

Slow ban user and Hell ban user. I am evil.

Of course. Just as some of us have perfect eyesight and some have to wear glasses from little days. You can't really grow 2 meters high if it's not in your genes now can you? Some genetic features are just less noticeable than others, those are the features I talked about.

As an engineer I have to disagree too. Talent is a physical feature, it's genetic. Saying that "Both individuals can reach the same level." is like saying that I can paint as good as DaVinci if I practice my ass off, but we all know that's not true. Specific physical features (talents) that can't be learned include: Absolute pitch (music) Artists eye or hand or whatever you call it (art, drawing, sculpture, etc) Photographic memory There are probably more.

"you might not be great" is like saying that "this guy might not be great in ballet because he weighs 120 kg". I played for 15 years with 5 instruments, I composed my own music and I have an Absolute pitch. I know what I'm talking about. Read on the first answer: here. Note the words "impossible to learn".

I seriously doubt it. There are 2 professions in the world that require talent: music and art. If you don't have the musical hearing you're never gonna be a good musician. The same goes for artistic types - if you don't have "artist's hand" you'll never be able to draw, hence be a good graphic designer or whatever. There was a dude in my highschool class who drew "The last supper" replica with a damn graphite pencil on his desk - that's what I call a talent. And no matter how much I "practiced" I couldn't draw $hit. P.S. I had Gibson SG Special faded, good old days, heh.

I'd like to know that too.

The code is: <form> <textarea></textarea> </form> This is a very basic code example. How it looks, well you can style in css so it will look whatever you want it to look. You can make it look like a native windows notepad if you want to. The question is what do you wanna do with that text? Depending on that you're gonna have to use Javascript/PHP/MySQL or NASA encrypting software.

I could but I don't think I should. There are a lot of underaged users here.

These are the FACTS. I'm not paranoid, far from it. I'm jut aware of what's going on around us and affecting us. And the people who think that "ignorance is bliss" will never understand this. Because of such people, those in power are just getting more bold. Thinking that governments and corporations do not try to control us is just incredibly naive.

It's not about god damn CCTV's. It's about governments and corporations tightening the grip on us, it's about trying to suppress P2P, it's about data usage caps, it's about secretly monitoring us, it's about trying to suppress freedom of speech (Wikileaks, etc), it's about unreasonable abuse (Sony vs Geohot). These are the reasons why groups like Anonymous and Lulzsec exist.

So what about my node.js and three.js tutorials? :|

I got two words for you: node.js and three.js

Your layout is a terrible mess. You're using a mixture of tables and divs with obsolete inline properties. Also some text symbols like "|" are not in any text tag, like <p>, thus you have practically no way of controlling their behavior. Why don't you use unordered list (<ul>) tag for menu links like everybody does? That way would be able to control it more.

I don't understand what's the fuss is all about. There are technical solutions, alternatives to cookie tracking. Browser fingerprint + IP gives all the tracking you need, saving users data on the server of course, not that this is a problem anyway. As for google analytics, they're gonna have to adjust to the current trends or go away. And as for old ignorant stupid fat and corrupted EU bureaucrats they can go screw themselves, their turn is coming, think Anonymous, Lulzsec.

I once had myself coded a live twitter feed on my site. You have to dig into Facebook API and see if they provide a way to access the data. If they have some sort of XML or JSON interface than you're cool as long as you know your way around PHP and Javascript. If they don't, however, you can always resort to screen scrapping your own facebook page, however that's a bit more advanced.

Pointer.

That's because you're using table layout, and not only table layout but also rowspan and colspan which is used for tabular data and not for layout. Also there's like a million &nbsp's so there might be a million reasons why it wouldn't show the same in IE and in other browsers - they all have their (different) default line heights. My guess is you've used some drag'n'drop website editor? Like Dreamweaver CS3 which generates super poluted code. The website is a huge mess. My advice would be to throw everything out and start with a nice div layout. However, if you still want to condemn yourself with a table layout - you're gonna have to use conditional comments + ugly css hacking.

You can always do such a thing in a "controlled environment". You find a relatively fat company, detect the holes in their system, give them a brief and polite warning and just enough time to hire you to fix it, otherwise you screw them by throwing the info to the scriptkiddies or something like that. Why shouldn't we get paid for what we work our asses off? It's the capitalist way. Antivirus companies create the viruses and sell us antivirus soft to protect ourselves, and on and on - this $hit is going on in practically every major industry sector. So I ask again - why should we starve while they get fat?

You can always have a separate page in a separate dir with an index file. That way your url will always look like this: yourdomain.com yourdomain.com/about/ yourdomain.com/services/ etc. This is a common practice nowadays, looks quite professional and I believe it even influences SEO if there is such a thing.

If you're gonna have index.php in the directory it will be set as landing page by default, however, if you have both index.html and index.php in the same dir - by default index.html will be prioritized. And by the way, by default neither of the files will be seen in a browser's url field from a user's point of view, for example, if user enters www.yourdomain.com and your home page is index.htm/html/php, user will only see www.yourdomain.com unless he goes to another page that is not index. From a professional's point of view, index.php will not look more professional, it will just say that the website is most likely dynamic and not static. However, for example my website's landing file is(was) index.html, but the very website works as a massive ajax application which is way more complex than your usual index.php routine.
