Some Javascript stuff would be cool. I suck at Javascript.
Dreamweaver CS3... works pretty good
Love is the answer
What is that supposed to mean? I am going to do tuts on things that cannot be "pre-manufactured" with settings on Dreamweaver. That would just be pointless.[TUF]Catbox wrote:

If someone has never done any basic HTML before, the starting place should be before HTML and CSS integration.
A lot of people reading your tut, if linked from this site, would be familiar with bbCode and that could be a good place to start since HTML tags can be very easily compared to bbCode.

couldnt he extract them on the sever? save the upload time? I dont wanna come off as a dick but a lot of this info is out there. Maybe Zimmer should have tests along with the tutorials. Anal, yes. But It would be a good idea IMO to filter out different levels of user. And to help people pick up on small gems they may have missed.liquidat0r wrote:

Awesome. I downloaded punbb vs1.2.26 or something 2 hours ago, wanted to upload the zip file to my server but I couldn't install/open it.
For noobs, maybe we could cobble together common cpanel functions and maybe some basic explanations of shell commands & what not? That way, we could kinda develop a best practices list as we go along. Im more than willing to help put stuff together, the question is should I?
Erm, Golgo, you would be surprised how many tuts out there fail at getting the explanation across. I am not claiming that I can get it across, but I can at least try.
Why should we go into servers and functions when some people don't even know how to build a site?
What is the point of that? Also, Cpanel is self explanatory - a monkey on drugs could get around it.
I should have tests? In saying that, what do you mean exactly?
Users around here stay around here, so why not have a BF2s tutorial, instead of telling them to go find one somewhere else. I want to help people here, I get lots of requests over xFire and it would be good just to put a couple of tuts up so I don't get spammed half as much.
I just think it would benefit the community and would allow them to develop their own websites while allowing me to help them individually and criticise. You can't do that in a large site with tuts. Here you can. I can help them all the time and show them other ways of doing it. Instead of them following a silent tut on another site.
It's called interaction.

omg nerd chat. =x
I know you aren't on CSS yet, but I have seen some style codes that have this " !important " inline of a style code
E.g
Why is it used?
E.g
Code:
.postleft dl { font-size: 1.2em !important; }Believe me, I have tried some tuts that left me scratching my head. Maybe I misunderstood or you dont want any help, but I guess I was proposing to help organize guides or something like that.Zimmer wrote:

As far as the tests, maybe more of an exercise or something so people could show off what they learned in said tutorial and go over bits people didnt understand. More of a collaborative thing than a hard test.
And I didnt mean to tell them to go find it on the internet, I guess the topic of websites is pretty expansive so its more of a question of where to start.
I was never opposed to interaction, it beats the hell out of not having anyone to bounce ideas off of.
Ah, see, on many CMS and forums, there are generally normal rules defined for a certain Class or Id. If you want to simply overwrite that CSS then you use "!important". This will override the other class rule and automatically put the one you did as the one that you can see.PhaxeNor wrote:

Quite simple, really. The "important" part is self-explanatory.
Golgo, I would be more than happy to get some of your help. Currently incredibly busy with projects, so the more help the better.
Okey, so if I have a large CSS file and can't find the line im looking for I can just make a new one and add "!important" and it will override the current one. Cool Thanks for the reply ZimmerZimmer wrote:

Kinda. The order in which CSS gets applied to your code is more complicated than Zimmer has touched on.PhaxeNor wrote:

If you want to really explore how CSS rules apply to your page and which ones are being "over ridden", I HIGHLY suggest you 1) Get Firefox and 2) Get FireBug. Once you have firebug installed, go to your page, hit F12, enable firebug, and then click the "Inspect" button and select *anything* on the page. After you've clicked something, check out the CSS panel to the bottom right. You'll see what I mean.
Thanks Chuy, will take a look at that
