[QUOTE=kmlkmljkl;40667424]Wouldn't this be better in the creationism corner? It's not exactly web-related. Anyway, you might want to try [url=http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/]WhatTheFont[/url]. [editline]16th May 2013[/editline] ... is there anything wrong with w3schools?[/QUOTE] If you take a look here, [url]http://w3fools.com/[/url], it'll explain everything.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;40668532]If you take a look here, [url]http://w3fools.com/[/url], it'll explain everything.[/QUOTE] w3schools is fine enough for beginners and a quick reference website imo

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;40668532]If you take a look here, [url]http://w3fools.com/[/url], it'll explain everything.[/QUOTE] They removed the examples?

[QUOTE=gokiyono;40674888]They removed the examples?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I think they fixed just about everything that's on there.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;40674935]Yeah, I think they fixed just about everything that's on there.[/QUOTE] I see. It's just not good to say "Don't use this" without saying why. (It makes you seem like a douche.)

[QUOTE=gokiyono;40674950]I see. It's just not good to say "Don't use this" without saying why. (It makes you seem like a douche.)[/QUOTE] Well, nobody did that. He referenced w3schools with *don't hurt me* and kmlkmlkSOMETHING wondered why, and we explained?

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;40674935]Yeah, I think they fixed just about everything that's on there.[/QUOTE] The fact that they let blatantly wrong and outdated information stay on the website for as long as they did is reason enough to not use it ever again. Nothing is stopping them from doing the same shit again.

[QUOTE=The freeman;40668626]w3schools is fine enough for beginners and a quick reference website imo[/QUOTE] This is just the problem. Beginners don't need to see bad and/or outdated information, which could lead to bad coding practices later on in their carrier that could have been prevented by educating them on those things.

So I have a problem with mongoDB. I can't install it. I want to install it in my site itself, this is the most "root" folder I have access to. [img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/ScreenCap_2013-05-17_a_22.53_.01_.png[/img] I put it into a folder inside public_html, unzipped it, tried to run it, got an error saying: [quote] ERROR: dbpath (/data/db/) does not exist. Create this directory or give existing directory in --dbpath. See [url]http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/startingandstoppingmongo[/url] [/quote] So I made the /data/db/ folders inside the mongo /bin folder, still didn't work. Then I made them inside the folder one level up from /bin. Then one level up. Then at the most "root" folder that I could, still no dice. I searched around and it says that mongoDB will try to make the folder in C://data/db I don't have any admin access to the server and I'm not on the list of sudoers either so I can't make that folder, it's preventing from finishing my development. Any help? So tl;dr version: Can't install mongoDB because it's got no /data/db/ folders. Can't make those folders because I'm not an admin or a sudoer. What do I do?

Hey, so I have made a little website just for my Garry's Mod server so it can have pages like donate ect but when you join the server a derma panel come up and the page is slightly to the right, how would I go about centering it? I am pretty sure this is not lua related.

How well paying are web dev jobs? Maybe I'll be assed to learn proper javascript if webdev jobs pay good.

No, like freelancer work where you get paid for the project you give to a client, not company-restricted.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;40741281]No, like freelancer work where you get paid for the project you give to a client, not company-restricted.[/QUOTE] It pays well if you know what you are doing. Don't get in to it just for the money, because freelancing is a lot of work. You have to have a lot of business and marketing chops to do well too, you don't just get to decide you're a freelancer and then magically make lots of money. Freelancing is also a lot harder if you're a decent dev but a bad designer or vice-versa unless you find someone who's skill fills in your gaps to work with.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;40741281]No, like freelancer work where you get paid for the project you give to a client, not company-restricted.[/QUOTE] I charge anywhere between $20-$60 an hour depending on what kind of work, and most have told me that's pretty cheap compared to others

I'm having a CSS issue with the z-index on my WordPress themes navigation menu, when in a mobile or small window view the dropdown will draw behind into any menu headings below it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yOYkCtL.jpg[/IMG] I think it might be something to do with "position: relative;" in one of the classes (pretty certain the z-indexes are correct) but I can't work out what exactly is wrong. The site is [url]http://space-facts.com/[/url]

I don't see anything wrong, is it fixed whatever it is?

[QUOTE=Worre;40762442]Put higher z-index for elements [B]#menu-item-823[/B] and [B]#menu-item-821[/B]. That should fix it.[/QUOTE] They were higher originally before I started fiddling with the CSS, I've set them back but something still isn't right.

[QUOTE=cjone2;40762611]They were higher originally before I started fiddling with the CSS, I've set them back but something still isn't right.[/QUOTE] They work fine for me when I set those elements' z-index to 40. Try to put this to the javascript console and check if the result looks good. [CODE]document.getElementById('menu-item-823').style.zIndex = "40"; document.getElementById('menu-item-821').style.zIndex = "40";[/CODE]
