Use z-index: 5; - should work.

[QUOTE=kragmars102;33498639]Use z-index: 5; - should work.[/QUOTE]

I'll try that when I get back to class, thanks.
EDIT: I just tried it on a little test page I just made, confirmed working. Thanks a ton more.

[kragmars102]

All good! :)

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;33497904]One more little question, what is ::hover? I know of :hover, but not ::hover. I can't google it because google thinks the ':'s are operators.[/QUOTE]

:: is for pseudo-elements (like ::first-letter, ::before, etc.) while : is for normal selectors. But that's just a naming convention, either method works (Although it's neater and shows you're not dealing with a real element in the selector)

<?php

class simplify {

	function loop($input) {
		
		while($this->detect_whole($input)) {

$simplify = new simplify();

<?php
require_once "inc/simplify.eq.php";

//should turn 0
echo $simplify->find(100);

the output doesn't load O.o

How would I go about making that in CSS/HTML? There isn't really a big range of information across the net that teaches you how to design well using CSS.

I think I'll just take a shot at doing it with images and hope it doesn't go horribly wrong

[Votix]

is [QUOTE]<img src="image.jpg" onmouseover="javascript:this.src='image2.jpg';" />[/QUOTE] a better way of making a rollover than using CSS? some opinions would be nice.

[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;33507161]extreme php code[/quote]

Oh bloody hell. You're all writing long pieces of PHP code and I'm asking about rollover images. I feel dumb.

I personally would use functions.

Inline javascript is bad, so no that's not a good way to do it. Do it in your CSS. CSS is for presentational code, and that's what a rollover is.

[editline]30th November 2011[/editline]

[ManningQB18]

How hard is javascript to learn? Versus, say, CSS? I'm getting better at CSS very quickly and I'm wondering how soon I should pick up javascript and how long it will take.

[bbang]

[QUOTE=Octave;33510296]What is it that you're trying to do?[/QUOTE]

i'm trying to make a script that simplifies equations.

[ManningQB18]

Alright, Totally confused now. What is wrong with this CSS? When I hover over it, it moves instantly instead of over the course of 2 seconds. I'm using the latest public release of chrome and I haven't optimized it for other browsers because of this.

	
.menuitem {
	transition: width 2s background-color 2s;
	-webkit-transition: width 2s background-color 2s;
	z-index: 5;
	float: left;
	margin-top: 50px;
	background-color: #C00;
	box-shadow: -10px 10px 10px #333333;
	-webkit-box-shadow: -5px 10px 6px #333333;
	width: 120px;
	height: 50px;
	font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;	
}	
	
.menuitem:hover {
	width: 250px;
	background-color: #FFF;
}

EDIT: Fixed, I have no idea what I did wrong here, but I tried copying the code from w3schools and it started working

[Octave]

[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;33511565]i'm trying to make a script that simplifies equations.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but I feel like theres a simpler way to do that, I mean you're matching against the same regexp every time and then decrementing the divisor by one... why not just put that into a loop with a loop counter that decreases each time...

[Ac!dL3ak]

isn't there a whole thing against w3schools

[mobrockers2]

[QUOTE=Ac!dL3ak;33512118]isn't there a whole thing against w3schools[/QUOTE]

Yeah, though I don't see why. It has helped me so much.

[bbang]

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;33512133]Yeah, though I don't see why. It has helped me so much.[/QUOTE]

really? When I tried to learn from w3schools, i really learned nothing... Well, I guess that was when I was trying to learn php and such.

To say the truth, I don't think I learned html and css from places like w3school or htmldog. I learned it by copy and pasting. :v:

I do agree that they should not pretend to be the W3C and their certifications are pretty much bullshit, but most of that is stuff is pretty minor. I'm going to continue using W3Schools until I find a central resource that has more information and ways to learn it. I've learned all of my CSS knowledge from there and I'm turning out pretty well.

It's difficult to locate the content you're after, as it's all mashed vertically onto one page with no kind of navigation or visual cues.

[bbang]

trying to find out how to use regex :tinfoil:

'/^\.?\d+(((\.?|\/?)\d*)?(\^?\d*(\.?|\/?))?\d*)/'

would this work for decimals, fractions, and powers?

. = decimal
/ = fraction
^ = power

Been looking at getting a VPS, I'm constantly checking lowendbox but nothing has really poped up, I'm looking for probably 512mb RAM, Disk space doesn't affect me too much, and bandwidth; a decent amount really, I've always gone with plans that have unlimited so I'm not too sure on usage. FanaticalVPS looked pretty decent or dotvps.net, what would you guys recommend?

I could've sworn there was a thread with recommended hosts but I can't find it.
