Feel free to discuss any aspect of the coding contest here, along with posting any questions you may wish to ask.

Two questions: 1) Is var myVar = (something > something_else) ? something_if_true : something_if_false;one line or two? 2) "I will expect the host for the server side data to be hosted however." <- Does that mean that we have to provide a host for the server side code? Regardless of the answer to that question, can we simply zip everything, then put it up for download, considering the numerous free hosts.

1. Ternary operator only counts as one line. 2. For my testing of the code, you should host the code. There's a good chance that a MySQL database/table will be required, and therefore it's more difficult to test it then. I would also have to then go through and update every instance of the URL throughout the code. Not to mention that different server settings would cause problems. Now, if it's not MySQL, but is flat file driven, I guess it doesn't matter.

New question: can we create a new page to edit the profile from instead of using the Modify Profile page? (similar to the banner chooser here.)

When the total lines is increased to 3000 with server side, does that mean 2000 for client side and 1000 for server side, or can we mix and match with 2500 client and 500 server, or 1500 each, etc.?

You may, assuming it seems to be a function of the profile. Technically profile editable means in the profile, but either works. When the total lines is increased to 3000 with server side, does that mean 2000 for client side and 1000 for server side, or can we mix and match with 2500 client and 500 server, or 1500 each, etc.? Mix and match. I may drop out of the contest... I'm not sure.... Why? You've got nothing to lose.

Well, if you've somehow forgotten, i can barely code the simplest of things

So the "beginners" can't use server-side coding? In that case... can we switch levels?

Well, if you've somehow forgotten, i can barely code the simplest of things You should still do it though because you will learn a lot. I happened to think of some cool so I'm having a lot of fun. I'm still not sure what I will do that will affect other pages yet however. So the "beginners" can't use server-side coding? In that case... can we switch levels? Chris let him so I have a better chance of winning.

This may sound stupid, since it should be secure anyway, but how important is the security of the server-side coding?
