I hate how the geeks in films can hack into anything the baddie wants within seconds. They always try to use big words like "server" and "firewall" or "protocol", just to make them look clever. Most of the writers couldn't tell me what any of those mean, and come on - those words are not rocket science.

Re: Navigation Bar

@oriclon, thats not what he asked: read the question

make a document that contains my navigation bar and just place a link of somekind so it loads it's contents into the html file?

Only through using a server side language like PHP. You can use an <iframe>, but very bad idea leading to a world of problems.

In PHP, you have your nav bar in a file, and then on every page do include("navbar.html");. Easy as that.

Re: table

Use a CSS file instead, will save you a lot of work:

tr:nth-child(even) {background: #CCC}

Hi All,

I have noticed I've stopped recieving the DaniWeb Digest (without wanting to).

Is there a way I can click to "opt-in" somewhere? I've seen the "Join mailing list" in edit profile, but this seems more for replying to posts etc.

Thanks,

What do you mean by this?

why this page looks good in all browser screen size

Because they are using responsive design. This relies on a grid system and a page that adapts when the browser is re-sized. Start by playing with CSS @media queries.

Re: PHP or ASP.net

Don't forget PHP is a massive language with some of the biggest sites in the world resting on it (including DaniWeb,Facebook,Twitter...).

Agreed, it's a case of what you feel more comfortable with. Personally, I love PHP and its a great language with more support than you could ever need.
Thoroughly reccomend, just not everyones cup of tea.

Warning: He didnt state this but you need to enter your email address for the PSD to be sent to. There is no privacy policy on the site and nothing to prevent selling your address on/spam/ads etc.

However it is possible to do this, but not sure how well it works... http://smallbusiness.chron.com/open-indd-file-photoshop-64749.html

If not, try to download the trial of InDesign just to convert maybe?

Re: Navigation methodology in a gallery

Or you could use a server side language, but you cant have any effects or quick re-organising. But far more useful if you've got lots of items to search through.

Re: Navigation methodology in a gallery

How ?

By having dropdowns like: "Sort by <criteria> <asc/desc>"

And then use jQuery/AJAX to re-order the results. How you go about doing that depends on your HTML.

Re: how to show all data. Only one row showing

Without going into it too deeply, this would probably do as well with concatenating the output into a string on every iteration and then outputting a single string.

That would make things alot simpler I suppose, maybe he should try that.

Re: Delete Confirmation

Just call the plugin in your demo link, and use the following snippets.

Ajust your PHP:

<a href="studentmgt.php?student_id='.$data['.student_id.'].'" class="confirm">Delete</a>

jQuery:

$(".confirm").confirm();

Then just put some PHP/SQL in the link to delete the record.

Re: can we pass values bw php and table

Why didn't you post your code streight away?

my code is below not working

'Not working' can mean alot of things. How is it not working? Any error messages? Explain what bits you know work and the areas you think the problem are.

Firstly you need a <body> tag, and a <html> tag if you haven't already got one. You need to open the <table> tag as well.

Usernames

Hi Guys,

When talking to a friend on here, we stumbled upon a joke, so we thought we'd share it ;)

Please try not to take offence, only light banter ;)

Say @diafol: a non-nonsense pro who's an absolute legend. If you say the name out loud in a slow deep voice, it pretty much says "don't mess with me". But seriously this guy is an ace.

@veedoo: the best name on the site. Say it real quick but old the 'o', whenever I see him post I just find myself calling "veedooooo" lol.

I've already embarrassed myself and offended 2 top members already, but any other names (DW members or not) that sound good to say aloud? Do they resemble their characters?

I wonder how many people start going round the forums calling out the names of their fellow members in silly voices aha

Re: Where to Place the <script>? (Installing Agoda on my site)

Where you have positioned your code is fine, change line 8 to:

<script  src="http://ajaxsearch.partners.agoda.com/partners/SearchBox/Scripts/Agoda.SearchBoxV2.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Keep the SRC all on one line, because otherwise spaces will mess up the URL and you won't be able to load the library.

Re: can we pass values bw php and table

You can pass HTML into PHP by submitting forms or using $_GET (ie. idx.php?var1=XYZ).

You would then do something along the lines of:

<table>

    <?php  
    foreach(...) {
        echo "<tr><td>".$row['col_name']."</td></tr>";
    } ?>

</table>

You need to tweak this snippet to work inline with your code.

Re: What should I have in my portfolio: a crying need for specific examples

A good portfolio shows that you are a good web developer who can produce decent projects suitable for the task.

It really depends on what you want in terms of business. I, personally, would have a rounded portfolio showing I can produce both corporate and creative sites etc. However some people only specialise in narrow areas, which is also cool.

As concrete, you need to show modern development in things like CSS3, HTML5 etc. and sites that look good. Depending on your clients, a knowlege of something like WordPress development is beneficial. You must also, in this day and age, have responsive/mobile design as second nature. Development with things like LESS are also useful I would say.

A photographer client might just ask for a 3 page gallery website, and a medium business may ask for a full-blown CMS theme that they can manage themselves. CMS is a wonderful thing, as clients can get on with their lives without having to pester you with little updates, from my experiance they feel more in conrol.

This is my opinion, but I'm sure other developers with different experiances would say completely different.

Re: Most Reputable Online Courses for HTML5 and CSS3

I'm not a web developer by trade

Yet you have an awesome site with loads of useful web design stuff on it!

I think a potential employer would be most interested in your portfolio which shows your best work rather than certifications.

Definately! Portfolio and have a history of decent clients is absolutely everything, certifications make little difference in web design. Everything is based on how good you are and what you can actually do.
