when you make a post to this forum, it should mean that you are having a problem that you are at your wit's end with. you have searched all the engines and news groups (and all posts on this forum) with no luck in answering your question or giving you the information you need.
the people that answer questions here have gained the knowledge they have through research and work. trial and error. you will never learn to code by having others do it for you.
i see so many people here using this forum as a proxy for their career. "You too can be a web developer with the new InfoLeech2000. Simply tell people you are one and then connect to this site!" it would be the same as me starting an automotive engine repair shop and taking every job i have to the mechanic down the street to ask him how to fix it. it might go something like this, in fact:
Me: Yeah, uh, i got this car from a customer and it gave me a problem starting it. what's wrong with it?
Mech: umm... sorry Mr. Ambiguity, but i forgot to eat my psychic flakes this morning. wtf are you talking about??
Me: sorry! uhh, well, when i turn the key it never turns over! what could be causing this?
Mech: ok, why don't we start with the basics. what KIND of car is it?
Me: oh, it's a 1972 Chevy Nova. do you think the green paint is what's causing this? let me repaint it and see if that helps.
Mech: oh dear lord... wait wait, don't do that. have you read the @!%$& manual?
Me: no, but could you please help?
Me: *bump*
Me: [back to top next day in a new conversation]
