Bad Exam, Bad!

[ctuck]

I feel like I totally blew my Programing Design exam I just took. I really need to go over my notes more, but I have not had any time to put to studing. The hardest question, worth 25 points, I just kinda gave up. The question was: Write a subroutine. Given a number (like "3456"), add them up ("3+4+5+6 = 18"). If possible, use recursion

I used to program. My dad teaches computer science. I hate programming. *shudder*

I like programming, it's still frustrating. I program for the web in Javascript and PHP. I hope to move on to C++, but I don't know if I'll take it too far.

See, I wish I didn't hate it so much, because then I could make some cool stuff for my site. I can read it, but can't do it myself.

Right now I'm simply trying to make the site itself, and having issues because I haven't fucked around with templates in DreamWeaver in a couple of years.

I really don't know what to make of Dreamweaver andother programs like that. GoLive and Dreamweaver are good programs that are very helpful, but I've learned to do just by code. That works well for me. If yo want advice or just can't figure out something, I'll be glad to take a look at for ya.

I code everything by hand, and just use Dreamweaver to apply templates. If there's a better way to keep certain elements in all the pages the same (like SSI), I'd love to know how to do it.

If I want every page to look the same, I build a template HTML, and I use CSS to carry the formating. I'm not really familiar with Dreamweaver, does it do something different?

Re:

I don't mean formatting; I use CSS for that, as well. I mean the menu and headers/footers. They should all be the same on all the pages, with the main content of the page the only thing differing between them.

There is a way to do that, a few actually. If you have the ability to use PHP you can do it like this:

Using this, myheader.htm will appear everywhere that it's called on. I think there is a way to do this if you can't use PHP. I will have to research how, I think it's .

lol. The code doesn't show up, dearest.

Try this, the iframe tag:

Some older browsers don't support iframes. If they don't, the iframe will not be visible.

I hope that comes up, but you can also go to: The Iframe Tag to see what I'm talking about.
