[QUOTE=xianlee;41510635]Thanks, Ill try it at work tomorrow, also I'm wondering on this website: [URL]http://www.kiddicare.com/[/URL]

You know on the navigation bar how a grey line "|" separates the different categories, whats it called or where can i find the code to learn it myself?[/QUOTE]

They've used a border on an element, specifically this code:

border-right: solid 2px #f3f3f4;

I would learn a bit more before trying to implement however.

[xianlee]

Ok thanks, is it not easy to do then? I'm thinking of making my own website but not sure what to do for the navigation bar yet

It's relatively easy to do, it just depends upon how you're planning on doing your navigation.

For example, with the following HTML:

<ul>
    <li>1</li>
    <li>2</li>
    <li>3</li>
    <li>4</li>
</ul>

You could use the following CSS to add a border between the list elements:

li + li {
    border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
}

It is more contextual than anything. [url=http://jsfiddle.net/exJKC/]Here's something you can play with.[/url]

cURL PHP is shitting itself on my CentOS dedicated server, it didn't do that on a shared hosting in a VPS, what gives?

[QUOTE=01271;41514197]cURL PHP is shitting itself on my CentOS dedicated server, it didn't do that on a shared hosting in a VPS, what gives?[/QUOTE]

What is the issue? Getting errors?

Make sure that the PHP cURL module is properly installed and is being loaded.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

[01271]

It is properly installed.
curl
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5
It seems that overall my server is not downloading items at any reasonable rate, it's exceptionally slow.

Have you tried running cURL from command line? Same results? It could be a number of things...

I'm so tired of managing all my websites. I really should hire someone to do it for me.

Is there any services where I can put in a SVN URL and set up a container (like PHP with curl etc) and it will just manage it. Scaling as needed?

I would manually host them all on somewhere like Softlayer, on a single server.. but in my experience Softlayer just null route the traffic if the server gets ddossed. Which is terrible.

What I'm looking for is somewhere totally managed, that scales with traffic, so if I get ddossed it just throws up more servers and copes - and costs me more money. So I don't have to do anything.

Sounds like [URL=https://www.heroku.com/]Heroku[/URL] and [URL=https://www.appfog.com/]AppFog[/URL].

Although you'll have to use git to deploy on Heroku [url]https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git#using-subversion-or-other-revision-control-systems[/url] and I'm pretty sure AppFog uses it's own cli.

Ok, well, if you want equal width elements in your navigation bar, this is how you'd do it.

[url]http://jsfiddle.net/exJKC/4/[/url]

It feels empty because "Home" takes up less content than the others.

If you don't want them to have equal widths, then it is likely you'll have to manually set widths for each navigation element.

What's wrong with using CloudFlare in front of your sites to absorb the attacks? It's free and wouldn't require an assumingly expensive service that'll throw up more servers to absorb the attack.

I think garry would be better off with their pro plan, if he were to get cloudflare.

You're looking for a platform as a service (PaaS). I know you've used AWS in the past, they have their own service called Beanstalk.

Agreed, $20/mo (and $5/mo for each additional site) is much cheaper than what he's looking at

[01271]

I can't curl, wget or otherwise download the steam api on my server. It works with my key on my browser but not on my server at all. I managed to make it wget up to 29% but then it stopped. Any ideas?

I'm trying to set up a web comic style of site, and I'm using wordpress.

I have no experience in making a custom theme for it, so I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good theme for a kind of comic style site, or any tips for me.

I was thinking some kind of slide where you can scroll trough recent comics (they're made on a A4 paper) and then some way to explore more, but I'm not quite sure.

I'm using wordpress because I like it apart from HTML/CSS and so on, and the way the comics are gonna be published is kinda blog like, but it shouldn't look too much like a blog. Really hard to explain but any help would be appreciated!

Cloudflare is fucking terrible. They want $200 a site to enable 'real' DDOS protection. If you don't pay the $200 this happens (I was on the $20 plan at the time).

[lorde banana]

I'd imagine $200/mo is still cheaper than what you're looking at though.

Have you tried Prolexic or Blacklotus? I've not tried either personally and apparently prolexic is quite expensive.

Regardless, most DDoS Protection services are $200+ if you want proper protection.

I have the following setup,

        <table>
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>Description</th>
                    <th>Show Capacity</th>
                    <th>Prices</th>
                    <th>Allocation</th>
                    <th>Actions</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody id="allocations">
                <tr class="allocation">
                    <td><input type="text" name="description" placeholder="Description"/></td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="showCapacity" placeholder="0"/></td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="price" placeholder="0"/></td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="allocation" placeholder="0"/></td>
                    <td><a class="remove-allocation btn btn-small btn-inverse"><i class="icon-white icon-trash"></i></a></td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td><a id="add-allocation" class="btn btn-small btn-info">+</a></td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>

And these scripts,

$('#add-allocation').click(function () {
        $('<tr class="allocation"><td><input type="text" name="description" placeholder="Description"/></td><td><input type="text" name="showCapacity" placeholder="0"/></td><td><input type="text" name="price" placeholder="0"/></td><td><input type="text" name="allocation" placeholder="0"/></td><td><a class="remove-allocation btn btn-small btn-inverse"><i class="icon-white icon-trash"></i></a></td></tr>').appendTo('#allocations');
    });

        $('.remove-allocation').click(function () {
            $(this).parentsUntil("tbody").remove();
            removeFunction();
        });

Now I can add new rows fine, but when it comes to deleting them, I can only delete the original...

It's a damn shame DDoS protection is even necessary; people suck.

Hey guys, still never managed to get such menu done even using css transform.
Any suggestions please?

Can you use css3 in your project? I can easly make it for you so you can see how it's done.

Mainly, the new blocks don't automatically get that function assigned. You'd have to use .on or .delegate.

I tried .on but it didn't seem to work either, but here's my working version with .delegate:

        $('table').delegate(".remove-allocation", "click", function () {
            $(this).parentsUntil("tbody").remove();
            removeFunction();
        });

Use that instead of the second script.

As much as I love CSS3 transitions, I try to avoid using them because they don't work in firefox
