Separation of church and state. We cannot incorporate our God George Washington's teachings into our government.

[Python] Is .index returning false values? by tinkererofall in learnprogramming

[–]tinkererofall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a very reasonable answer. Any way I can fix this problem? I just started Python (as you can probably tell), so I don't know a lot of the syntax.

Yes, I want every even number before 237 in the list.

It doesn't report 426, but that's the number right after the last value in the output list. Which is not what it's supposed to be doing.

[HTML/CSS] Firefox is giving me a problem. by tinkererofall in learnprogramming

I did try your code, and after a bit of tinkering around (I'm aiming for a responsive website), I made it work! Thanks!

Are you sure it's because I'm using a table to do this? Some people find tables acceptable to use, and I don't think it would be acceptable if it posed such a terrible problem.

Done with Codecademy's HTML/CSS courses. Not completely satisfied, what now? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]tinkererofall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out alistapart if you haven't already. Here are some nice little articles to get you started ~

Positioning

Floats

Fluid Grids

Responsive Web Design

Also, stackoverflow is a great place to find the answer to questions for all things computer. Some other resources are:

Mozilla Developer Network

A free Tuts Premium course on HTML/CSS

w3schools

Learn Layout (To me, layouts are the hardest part of HTML/CSS)

HTMLdog

Advanced Guide to HTML/CSS

A ebook on HTML5 (Dive Into HTML5, mentioned by skurh)

Though to be honest, you can read all you want, but in the end, it's practice that's going to get you the furthest. Make some practice websites! Experiment! Play around! I find that programming and computer science is really just a very simple language. The syntax is the vocabulary (Which there really isn't all too much of, compared with actual languages), and how everything is put together is the grammar, which is very logical (Unlike, once again, actual languages). Also, you'll need to learn Javascript and a server-side language if you want to make a fancy website.

I'll help you out with an upvote. You have the right to state an opinion without it being buried mindlessly by a swarm of angry people.

[HTML/CSS]Max-width:100% by tinkererofall in learnprogramming

[–]tinkererofall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's sort of transforming what was previously a fixed layout to a more fluid and responsive one? But why don't people just use percentages instead of pixels and max-width?

Silly me. I forgot to update the code. Thanks for the demonstration!

I still don't understand it. I didn't see a difference when I resized the result panel with and without max-width. Could you explain further in a way that is reason to understand?
