Thanks for posting your observations, Don. I wonder if it would be possible to link to resources using the URL syntax that Google CDN uses: <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>I'm assuming that would automatically prepend the current protocol. Of course, this wouldn't work if certain resources could only be served over HTTP. I may get a totally free certificate from StartCom. So far, it seems to be the best free option I have found. I think this site uses it, and the HTTPS aspect of the site has functioned just fine for me.

That's something that concerned me. I don't want to make the website difficult for users to utilize; I want to avoid unnecessary annoyances like that. So a certificate from a CA is probably the best way for me to go. Thanks for mentioning that, Don!

No, I am just using a shared server. I couldn't think of a better forum on which to post it. Thanks for your input; I'm looking forward to hearing if you learn anything!

In my current website project, I would like to design a secure area for members. I have built basic login systems before, but I want to build something more secure this time. One of the things I would like to do it route requests using the HTTPS protocol. In my research on how to do this, I have been starting to learn about SSL certificates. As I understand it, in order to create an SSL encrypted connection that users can be confident in, I must purchase a certificate from a certificate authority (CA). I am questioning whether I really need to do this, though. Neither money nor information that is extremely sensitive would be handled in the secure area. The purpose of the website is of a nature that membership would be restricted to those personally acquainted with me, so it's not like they would be using a website with some vague "entity" operating it. They could trust me. Would that make it safe for me to use a self-signed SSL certificate? My only suspicion is that a hijacker could potentially inject a new SSL certificate (not sure if this is possible...) and trick users since neither his nor mine would be signed by a trusted CA. I could just get a cheap certificate, but I would like to avoid spending money on this if I don't have to. Maybe a free certificate would be okay? I'm not sure. What do you think is the best course of action for my situation?

Are you talking about the main background gradient, or the active tab gradients? This is what it has looked like for me: http://prntscr.com/dgpd3 Taken in FF 14, but it's been like that since I created the website months ago. FF doesn't seem to like the % values for the gradient positioning. Shouldn't it work? Am I doing something wrong?

I have a "pushed down" effect applied to active tabs in a navigation bar I made. It works in Opera, Safari, and Chrome. However, Firefox doesn't do the gradients for me. Is this Firefox's problem, or a syntactical error? Relevant code: #header .active { background-color: #eee; background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(-2% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -moz-radial-gradient(102% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(238, 238, 238), rgb(193, 193, 193) 35%, rgb(238, 238, 238)); background-image: -o-radial-gradient(-2% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -o-radial-gradient(102% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -o-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(238, 238, 238), rgb(193, 193, 193) 35%, rgb(238, 238, 238)); background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(-2% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -webkit-radial-gradient(102% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(238, 238, 238), rgb(193, 193, 193) 35%, rgb(238, 238, 238)); background-image: -ms-radial-gradient(-2% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -ms-radial-gradient(102% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), -ms-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(238, 238, 238), rgb(193, 193, 193) 35%, rgb(238, 238, 238)); background-image: radial-gradient(-2% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), radial-gradient(102% 68%, 6% 47%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5059), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(238, 238, 238), rgb(193, 193, 193) 35%, rgb(238, 238, 238));} Site: http://www.alaskavoicesforfreedom.com/about

Git: Staging All Untracked And Modified Files
Fmdpa replied to skaterdav85's topic in Version Control
The Git GUI really simplifies a lot of things. I stumbled through using the Git Bash, and it was a tremendous learning experience. But I still prefer GUI tools over it at this point, for the more complex procedures. -
Git: Staging All Untracked And Modified Files
Fmdpa replied to skaterdav85's topic in Version Control
Actually, when I installed git (from, I believe, here: http://git-scm.com/), it came with a a program called Git GUI which is surprisingly good. If you want an excellent free reference, there is link to a PDF here: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=40026&view=findpost&p=221950 The Tower client looks pretty sweet, but its mac-only and not free. Come on, shouldn't you have a free GUI for a free, open source VCS? -
Beware of outdated javascript websites. There are tons of 'em out there. If you see <script Language=Javascript> or something about Netscape compatibility issues, RUN!

Welcome to the forum!Yes, JS can be confusing to learn, but it is becoming one of my favorite languages as I become more familiar with it. There are so many cool tricks and many practical applications for it.

Something could be done with regex in the PHP tutorial similar to how SQL was included in the PHP tutorial. It could give a basic intro to RegEx and how to implement it within PHP. Then there could be a more in-depth standalone tutorial.

I've really been enjoying Opera Dragonfly. It is web-based, which has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it does affect the browser's speed until you load the console. I believe it is possible to download the Dragonfly script so it is running locally.

Yeah...The only thing that I liked a lot in FF4 (over other browsers) was the addons browser.

And some editors' bad sides outweigh their good sides. The key to choosing a good editor for yourself is to find an editor thats advantages outweigh its disadvantages and where the advantages are strongest in the areas you use most.
