I just made an account for x10 hosting then tried to use FTPbox. Then deleted everything because it pissed me off for being slow. I later went to my lithium account ftp. I went away from my laptop for like 1 minute later came back and deleted the "testing" folder thinking i was still on the x10 hosting ftp and now is trying to revive my stuff back. :suicide: [editline]21st September 2011[/editline] Oh ya, i have a svn that i made for fun that i have my updated files. :v: yay for backups???? no svn. [editline]21st September 2011[/editline] And now im posting on wrong threads. :suicide:

I'm learning Javascript using jQuery for my Web Design 2 class and I am working on my first assignment which is to make a div appear when you click on another div (bonus points for animating it) so I'm just trying to figure out how to select divs. HTML [code] <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="custom.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="RE4"> <a href="http://www.google.com" >I just hope these guys don't keep respawning...</a></div> <div id="RE5"> Oh, alright. We're good. Alright - Alright! Tombstones? I just want to see the end of this puzzle... </div> </body> </head> [/code] jQuery [code] $(document).ready(function() { $("#RE4").click(function() { alert ("Dude, dude, slow the fuck down."); }]; }); [/code] My jQuery code isn't successfully finding the div I call RE4. What do.

Ah! I didn't notice that. Thank you very much. [editline]21st September 2011[/editline] How would you suggest I make the first div something you can click on? Or should the .click() do that for me? If so, it isn't working for me and I've done something wrong.

Hmm.. If that would fix it then something is wrong with my code because it didn't show the second div.

This is probably a really silly question, but are there any good free web hosting sites? I don't have anything special I want to host, but I certainly don't have the money to pay for a site. Just something I thought I'd ask...

Anyone experienced with Code Igniter? How would you go about matching the password a person entered at login with an encoded one in the database? Or do I not encode the password in the database? My login method inside my controller: [php] // yadda yadda if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) { // if form has not been run or has errors $this->load->view('template', $data); } else { // if form has no errors and has been submitted $user_id = $this->User_model->check_login($username, $password); // returns empty if no id if(! $user_id) { // if no user id $this->session->set_flashdata('login_error', 'Invalid username or password.'); $this->session->set_flashdata('encoded_password', $this->encrypt->encode($password)); // testing purposes redirect(base_url() . 'user/login/'); } else { // if user id exists // set session variables - need to make a user library for this kind of shit //$this->session->set_userdata('logged_in', TRUE); //$this->session->set_userdata('user_id', $user_id); } } [/php] In my User_model class: [php] public function check_login($username, $password) { $query_str = "SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username = ? AND password = ?"; $query = $this->db->query($query_str, array($username, $password)); if($query->num_rows() == 1) { return $query->row(0)->id; } else { return FALSE; } } [/php] If I needed to decode the password in the database, I'd need to do it in the model somewhere.. but I don't know. Edit: Figured out that a unique string always gets a new encoded string unlike md5 or sha1. Therefore I was checking their password with the encode function expecting it would always match with the database password. THEN I found out it can decode different strings that are the same thing. Maybe I should read up on the manual more :]. New code: [php] public function check_login($username, $password) { $query_username_str = "SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username = ?"; $query = $this->db->query($query_username_str, array($username)); if($query->num_rows() == 1) { // username exists foreach($query->result() as $row) { // each column will be turned into array of $row[] $decoded_db_password = $this->encrypt->decode($row->password); } if($password == $decoded_db_password) { return $query->row(0)->id; } else { return FALSE; } } else { // username doesn't exist return FALSE; } } [/php] God I've come a long ways.

Where did facepunch get their icons for the rating system? I've seen them on so many sites, but don't know where everyone is getting them.

how would one assign checkbox options a value so when you check them and press submit it adds up the values and displays them on another page? [editline]22nd September 2011[/editline] in html all the methods I've found use javascript

[editline]22nd September 2011[/editline] in html all the methods I've found use javascript[/QUOTE] You cannot do addition with HTML, you either have to do it with javascript, or on the back-end. With PHP, assuming all the fields in the form should be summed: [php]$total = array_sum($_POST);[/php]

Sigh forgot the MySQL database when I backed up my site after the Brohoster crap. Lost almost a year of Wordpress posts (which detailed a school project i worked like 100 hours on). sssssssssssssssssoaölflaskjf

[quote]this might sound silly but: im trying to pad some text thats in a div header so that it isnt in the corner [img]http://1337.jp/_/2011/09/Screenshot-2011-09-22_17.19.54.png[/img] padding:5%; gives me [img]http://1337.jp/_/2011/09/Screenshot-2011-09-22_17.20.32.png[/img] [/quote] oh i get it now i made a h1 and styled the h1 instead of the whole div and now it works :pwn:

I might be misunderstanding how absolute positioning works, but I thought it was supposed to use its container as the origin (or whatever), but I'm doing it and it's just using the top left corner of the browser. [code] <div id="aside"> <ul> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:50px;">Bremerton</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px;">Port Orchard</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px;">Vaughn</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:250px;">Lakebay</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:300px;">Gig Harbor</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px;">Artondale</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px;">Purdy</li> <li style="position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px;">Belfair</li> </ul> </div> [/code] I'm trying to get names of places on a map line up right, I'd rather not put them on the image, so that all the text has the same look. Sorry if this is dumb, I'm not a web dev or anything, just making a website for myself. [editline]22nd September 2011[/editline] Of course, when I ask I figure it out, I just had to set the containers position to 'relative' I guess.

Relative is in relation to the container; absolute is in relation to the page.

[QUOTE=Octave;32430020]Use relative positioning. Relative is in relation to the container; absolute is in relation to the page.[/QUOTE] no relative is in relation to the position it would normally be, absolute is supposed to be in relation to its container, but I guess you have to tell the container it's position is relative, although I thought it always was. nvm static is default

Hello, I'm just coming in here as a small question on SQL (mysql) So if my table is like this [code] X/Y/Z/USER/ETC 1/1/1/benjojo/123 1/1/1/Jane/123 1/1/1/benjojo/123 1/1/1/forman/123 1/1/1/benjojo/123 [/code] How do I get back from a query [code] user/count benjojo/3 jane/1 forman/1 [/code] Is there a easy way to do this in one SQL statement?

How can I create something similar to the like/dislike ratio bar on youtube? Lets say I have 1 +'s and 2 -'s like this: [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/2r3dzpv.png[/IMG] How could I make a bar go in a ratio of 1:2 like this? or any other ratio.
