Programmer, Software Engineer...

Thanx mahn. I learned how to make a search bar and it might be small but im excited to learn more. the search bar functioned correctly and website is coming along well but this has to pause for a month or so. starting with exams in 10 days and wil be busy for the next month or show but I will be back and full force:D

I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far, it shows that you may have a passion for programming after all.
 
Thank you SPS but is that enough for me to get my website to work and on to the web?

If you want a website to be viewable on the WWW, you could look into creating a WordPress/SquareSpace site. Both options allow you to delve into the nitty gritty stuff, making it a great way to test what you've learnt.
 
Hey when I console what I've learnt I found the following:
HTML1423: Malformed start tag. Attributes should be separated by whitespace.
curtis.html, line 49 character 32
HTML1423: Malformed start tag. Attributes should be separated by whitespace.
curtis.html, line 49 character 56
HTML1423: Malformed start tag. Attributes should be separated by whitespace.
curtis.html, line 67 character 160
HTML1409: Invalid attribute name character. Attribute names should not contain ("),('),(<), or (=).
curtis.html, line 67 character 160
HTML1409: Invalid attribute name character. Attribute names should not contain ("),('),(<), or (=).
curtis.html, line 69 character 7


I want to know do I have to fix it or can I continue?
 
If you want some basic hosting to screw around with give me a shout via pm and I'll stick you some space on my VPS so you can have a play around with FTP html/css/php and whatever else in a live environment.

You just need a domain name :) (or if that's still a little beyond your knowledge I'll sort one out for you).

Did you figure out the http://www stuff ? (you had it slightly the wrong way around)

As to the above errors, you will need to fix most of them, sounds like point one to three are because you've done something like <div class="hello"size="10> where it should be <div class="hello" size="10"> (note the space between hello" and size) the last 2 look like you've missed out "'s or haven't closed them properly

I'd need to see the code to tell you.

I'm not there yet. I'm still busy with my html and the errors + I don't have everything I want on my website e.g: gallery for picture, sign up and sign in are not working.

When i'm ready I will consult you but that will properly be end of exams (somewhere in June)

No, I need help. but ill try and figure it out

Doesn't have to be ready, just gives you something to play with and put it live and online so we can see it and/or help you.

Whenever you're ready bud, it's a 2 second job to setup.

http:// stands for hyper text transfer protocol, it basically tells the browser it's receiving a text file to be interpreted usually html which stands for hyper text markup language. This is, in it's most basic form, a kind of xml document (these days, xhtml or html5) the browser reads this and displays it accordingly.

if you had ftp:// that's a different protocol, called the file transfer protocol, which is used for transferring files, your browser wouldn't grab the files contents and display it, it *should* download it as a file, to you computer, or, display the contents of a directory to download it. I.E. used to (still does?) display these pages, but most modern browsers don't (security reasons)

the www. bit is called the subdomain, this is part of the url before the first dot, the bit after that dot before the .com or .co.uk or .org etc is called the top level domain or tld. You can point different subdomains to different places which are all attached to the main top level domain. for example
www.overclock3d.net goes to the main website, where as forum.overclock3d.net goes to a sub-folder in the main website directory which is forums. using subdomains makes having different 'chunks' of a website easier to manage, neater in the url structure, so instead of www.overclock3d.net/forums/ it's just forum.overclock3d.net

(hope that helps)

No worries again, hit me up if you need help

Thank you much appreciated.
 
I hated studying IT. I like my IT job but studying was a really painful experience for me.
It's not an easy thing to study. Programming is easy, Networking is easy, Webdesign is easy, but all that maths you will have to learn during your time at university will really burn you out, unless you're into that kind of thing.

BEWARE: Everything said above was a subjective opinion! Your mileage may vary.

maths like high standard (mathematics) or lower standard (mathematics literacy)?
 
just a headsup innocent, i got your email pm, but I don't check that very often (pure chance I saw it) just send me standard forum pm's in future :)

I'll have you some hosting setup by the end of the day.

hiya dude, I can set you up hosting, but the domain name will cost money, so you need to buy one and then I can set it up for ya :)

How do I pay because I only have a saving account and money is tight at the moment because of university and my pc I want. but how much do it cost and I can make a play as soon as im done with the web development course and i'm ready with my site?

Domain names are not that expensive. I pay £6 a year for a domain name that I have registered.

There are a plethora of places where you can register a domain name e.g. 123-reg, GoDaddy, HostGator, to name but a few. Pick a name you like and SuB will take care of the rest. You don't need to worry about anything else.

I have a domain but its .nom.za and I can get .co.za but it ask the following:
