I think this should be a simple problem. But as Yawatide said, you will need to provide the url of the website in question so that we can inspect the source code and solve the problem

@Slyr0x, what are u telling me? Thank God I never pay. You know I dont want to specifically specialize on hacking, but I will really will like to know about it very well. Not for commercial purposes, but for personal use. I will be owning some web applications that will demand high profile security and encryption. I think i will have to reconsider CEH and make more research on which one to do.

@Slyr0x, by the way, i will be through with CEH by next month. I will try to hack your website.

@OP, you said the server is not yours and that you actually hacked the cpanel. Now, why are you mad at Slyr0x when you have dirty hands?

You are also missing my point. The certifications you are talking about are given my foreign organisations and groups. The certifications are not given by any organisation in Nigeria, let's say Computer Society of Nigeria. So let me give you this scenario to evaluate. If you have a software company and there is a vacant to be filled. If someone with a first class degree in Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and someone with a professional certification apply, who will you employ?

It does not matter Whether one has a university degree or professional certification, what matters is result. Can the person solve a problem?

Certification is not taking over university degree. What is taking over both certification and university degree is entrepreneurship and your ability to show result. Google founders were both Computer Science graduates. Mark Zukerberg never took any certification exam. He was actually studying computer science before he went on to found facebook.

An entrepreneur doesn't need both certification and university degree to succeed. He rather employs people with these qualifications. But if one wants to work as an employee, and he can afford university education, i advice he get university degree first. You can always get certification anytime. But you cannot always get admission and time to spend years in university to earn a degree.

Are you talking about the standard of education in Nigeria or you are saying that certification is better than a university degree anywhere and anytime?

Here is my point, if one can afford a degree in Computer science or Engineering, especially abroad, he should go for it. And then take certification exams along the line. You cannot pursue Master's in any university anywhere in the world with a certification no matter how advanced the certification is.

But if one cannot afford a university education, then by all means he should focus on informal education by learning online and then take certain certification exam.

Dont forget also that most certifications are done by private companies like Oracle, Microsoft and Adobe. For instance, I am pretty good in working with Adobe Photoshop. But there is a certification for it called Adobe Certified Expert (ACE). I see it as a corporate fraud. The exam will not teach you anything about photoshop. Just to test your knowledge and then if you pass the exam you will be certified. Then next year, you will be required to sit for the exam again. If you refuse to pay and sit for the exam again, you are no longer certified.

Again, I want you to know that I know that in some circumstances, a professional certification can make all the difference between landing a job or not being considered for it at all. However, in other circumstances, it's not really useful and most hiring managers will look for experience or skill over a set of letters after your name.

University degree is not a must and professional certification is not a must either. One can succeed in life and become the best he can be without both. However, if one has both, it will be great. And if I am to choose one, I will choose university degree.

In summary, I can say that a person who through hard-work and discipline honed his skill in programming or in whatever will always beat one with an impressive degree. But here is the catch. What happens when the former has a degree? He will be unparalleled.

eddiebruk: As much as you have gotten a good explanation about CS, And computer CE, i think it will be a total waste of time and resources going into those areas when it comes to Computers, the IT world has made things so easy that Certification in a particular IT field is what matters most now, besides Nigeria other countries do not offer the two courses you just mentioned but rather they have made the system so easy for you to go straight into what you so wish to study be it Software development or Computer Hardware as well as Networking, MSCT, COMPTIA A+, COMPTIA N+, CISCO, And many other professional courses are available to take you through the professional studies of a particular IT course, an Internationally Recognized Microsoft Engineer/Comptia A+ Professional earns more than a Nigeria computer engineer, if the Nigerian so called engineer doesn't have a Certificate to show his professionalism, so why waste 3-4years studying computer engineering when you can actually complete the professional course for a period of one year, there are only two accredited test centers were you can take your professional test in other to be certified in Nigeria, you can visit www.testout.com, www.comptia.org to get more information about these professional courses that dont just get you an international recognized IT Professional certificate but also make you a licensed computer Technician otherwise known as computer engineer in Nigeria. which means no matter where you go around the world, you are eligible to get employed by any IT industry/company...you can use Google to do some research so as to understand more about these IT course i just mentioned to you.

I want to say you are wrong. CS and CE are still offered by universities all over the world. In India, they call it BCA (Bachelor's of Computer Application) and it's for three years. And if you want to do the Master's (MCA), guess what, it's another three years. And I tell u, guys are doing it and coming out equipped. If you have opportunity to study a degree in a university especially abroad, please dont fail to study it. If you have a degree in Computer Science from a good school and you end up getting a professional certification, the person that has only professional certification cannot stand you. Again, most tech companies like Yahoo, Facebook, Microsoft and Google do not employ people that merely have certification. They always require that the applicant be a graduate of computer science. But if you are sure you are an entrepreneur, which means that u will not lift ur certificate tomorrow looking for a job, then i suggest you do a professional certification and then go and study MBA in a business school.

MIT, one of the best schools in the world still offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science till tomorrow. You cannot just rule out a university education that centres on computer science or computer engineering. And by the way, do u know that certification is a way some big tech companies or organisations 'officially and corporately dupe' people with their money? Most of these certification craps are done by Microsoft, Oracle and Adobe and all of them are champions of close source application. Do you need a jquery certification to start writing stunning effects with it? Do you need python or php certification to develop robust and scalable applications? And mind you, you will keep paying and renewing these certifications every year or bi-annually.

Do you know you can learn medicine if a medical doctor privately coaches you for 2 years? But ordinarily, it will take you 6 years to become a medical doctor? Why is it that people are not asking for the 2 years private coaching? Do you know that most auxiliary nurses are most experienced and knowledgeable than trained and qualified nurses? But these auxiliary nurses will continue to be mocked and paid 10k per month while a nurse that went to nursing school is respected and paid 100k.

There is nothing like best course. it depends on what u ar pursuing.

There is a difference between computer science and computer engineering. However, the difference is somehow overlapping. But in a simple, short and clear answer: Computer Science is basically about software development while Computer Engineering is mostly about hardware development. If u dream of developing web and mobile software, u will hav to follow CS. If u want to learn how develop computer processors, ram and stuff like that, u wil have to follow CE. Both are overlapping becos as a CS student, u wil be exposed to some hardware studies and as a CE student, u wil also learn some bit of programming.

^ Yes sir.

We are planning to run a web design promotion and so we decided to launch a facebook ad for it. I came up with this landing page: http://www.ctrlshiftstudios.com/web-promo

What do you think?

Pls you can go ahead and like us on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ctrlshiftstudios

Thank you.

You have no SINGLE right to hold a client website folder. After designing the website and you are paid, you should handover the website folder and cpanel login details to your client. That is what he paid for. Those that have not asked you are those that know nothing about website stuff. For instance, I have clients who know nothing about the cpanel of their websites. I have access to the cpanels till tomorrow. All they care is to see their website running. But if they ask about such details tomorrow, I will gladly hand them everything.

As for how much you should charge, consider what the previous person pointed out. Dynamic website varies and clients are not same.

peejaycafe: I was browsing google.com.ng with the keywords Nigerian escorts looking for escorts agencies in Nigeria where i could get a companion...

You should be ashamed of yourself first. Then after discovering that you have no future if in this 21st century you cannot get married and face your future, but to be searching online for a girl you will commit foornication with. You want us to make the website disappear from google, but you dont want us to pray for you so that you will be delivered from sexxual bondage.

Keep searching on google for escort agencies. You will be tired one day.

@OP, you are really making these things to be difficult for you. And you will end up straining yourself. Just do this html tutorial once on your system and copy everything and post at once. Stop posting today, then next week u post, then another week u post. You have finished the html in the other thread, now get the whole html part and post here. And go face css. You have to know what you have decided to do and if you dont want stress, you have to do this tutorial once and post, then you can focus on answering questions that will arise.

Atiku and 7 governors walked out of the PDP national convention to shoot themselves at the feet at Shehu Yaradua Centre in a bid to factionalize PDP. But what Atiku and his boys did not know is that their action is an express cruise to victory for Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan(GCFR).

It is no news that at the Special Convention of the PDP yesterday, the Turaki of Adamawa, Nigeria's former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar apparently sensed the obvious failure to secure his political interests in the convention, quickly made an eye contact and body signs to his boys, the dissident governors and co, and the result was an immediate walk-out in watery protest that resulted in forming a purported new PDP. This inglorious exit was certainly insignificant as the mammoth crowd remained same; indicating their poor followership in the party.

I have studied and analyzed this infamous move of Atiku and his boys and considered the event and possible resultant effects. By this, I see the birth of infamous 'new PDP' as clear signs of GEJ's shortest cut to Aso Rock unhindered. It is totally clear that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the nation's electoral umpire will NEVER recognize 'the new PDP' and its leadership making it impossible to field-in candidate in 2015 election. Again, with Atiku as leader with presidential ambition under this unpopular platform, and if it later leads to Peoples Democratic Movement, PDM chaired by one of Atiku's aides, which will actually be the end of the road that leads to nowhere near presidential villa come 2015. In the other hand, the major opposition to the GEJ's and PDP, All Progressives Congress, APC is already in internal squabbles over who flies the party's flag in the 2015 presidential election. In this case, the old trojan horse, the 'professional' presidential candidate of all seasons, Gen. Mohammed Buhari and others of northern extraction are already on ground to tear the zone (North) in pieces to the advantage of PDP.

Already, GEJ's men are in full control of five out of the six geo-political zones. The North-East for now is the zone yet to be occupied by GEJ's political network. Taraba, Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe and part of Adamawa states of the North-East are in GEJ's safe hands. In Katsina and Kaduna of the North-West the fresh air is still full blown. While Jigawa, Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara are opposition's stronghold, though of no much import as GEJ emerged without them in 2011.

North-Central for sure is GEJ compliant with Kogi, Plateau, Benue states, and Abuja FCT, leaving Nasarawa to its fate while Kwara and Niger states are still indecisive. For South-South and South-East zones, they will always remain GEJ's indisputable fertile ground and ever untouchable by the anti-GEJ. The South-West states certainly have no strong interest at the centre. The guys there are contented with the control of the regional states and will of course repeat their 2011 miracle for GEJ.

This position is logically and objectively x-rayed.

Atiku has just made the greatest mistake in his political career by trying to factionalize PDP. He has failed to understand that what this means for him and his governor boys is that they are sitting on the fence.

*******************************************************************

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR) is the best president Nigeria has ever had. Sentiments apart. But do you notice how INEC is freely exercising their duties independently without GEJ interfering? If it were OBJ, who is a judge to rule and order PDP and INEC to recognize Andy Uba as the authentic governorship candidate for Anambra gubernatorial when the National secretariat which is under the president favours another candidate? Goodluck Jonathan is an evangelist of rule of law. We must forget sentiments, religion and tribalism and throw our weights behind him come 2015.

God bless Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR)!
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!

I am aware that if US strikes Syria when Britain, China and Russia have said no, there will be grave consequences. Obama is aware of that. This is why he's waiting and delaying to order for a strike. Obama is handicapped because US greatest ally, Britain has backed out of the plan to strike Syria.

However, I do not agree for a second that Assad is not responsible of the chemical weapon that was used against innocent and helpless civilians. The rebels couldn't have gotten a sophisticated weapon like that. From where? We are not talking about grenade bombs here. We are talking about Chemical weapons, which Russia and Iran, the two greatest allies of Syria possess.

US is not a war-monger country. If after thorough investigation and ongoing scanning, and it is discovered that Assad indeed used chemical weapon against his own people, I believe it is wise for Obama to order for a strike. Syria should be punished for crossing the red line. It is against international law to use chemical weapon during war how much more a civil war.

But again, I know Obama is facing several choices. The fact that the rebels have link with Al-Qaeda is one reason Obama will not make the choice of supplying weapons to them. Again, Americans will not agree for US soldiers to be on ground in Syria because of resources and men they have lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. If Obama strikes, Russia and Iran may be provoked. Iran is Syria's strongest ally because of the role Syria played during their war against Iraq.

So, I know that whatever choice Obama makes, the consequence will be grave. However, I believe if it is proven that Assad indeed used chemical weapons against his people, Syria should be punished. I think this is why Obama is delaying any military action. He wants to get more coalition and clearer evidence.

Drfash: I want to become an hacker buh dunno where to start 4rm sum1 pls help

Start from getting your grammar correct.

Yes, people that came newly to urban area from village and then opened an email account which was even opened by a cyber cafe attendant. These people still fall for this kind of old scam. That is why these guys keep using and recycling it. Many are still falling for it.

Here are world's longest domain names. I didn't click your link, but I know because you are a desperate blogger, yours will not be any of these longest domains.

According to domain registrars, the longest a domain can be is 63 characters starting with a letter or number.

1. http://www.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com/

2. http://www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com/ (This one is even a free email service.)

3. http://www.thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.com/

4. http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/

Number 1, 2 and 3 are 63 long. They are the longest. Number 4 is 58 long.

What about the world's shortest domain name. Well, there are many of them, but if you are not a big multinational company, you will not be allowed to have a domain name that is less than three letters unless you have millions of dollars to pay. Average domain name starts from three letters (which is nearly impossible to find again because they have all been registered) and above. One letter domain, which is the shortest domain name is reserved for the Ogas at the top.

Google has purchased the shortest possible domain name to make it easier for Chinese users to find Google: http://www.g.cn. And interestingly also, http://www.g.com.

Along with most other single-letter and single-digit domain names are reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. The IANA is the master arbiter of domain names and addresses on the Internet. There are a few one-letter domain names out there, though: http://www.z.com is owned by Nissan, http://www.q.com by Qwest, and http://www.x.com is owned by PayPal. Etc.

Desperate bloggers everywhere.

What do u want to know about NIIT? You are taking a course with them and you want to know about them from me?

It's a pity you forgot your username and password. Which is not possible except u are lying. If I leave NL now, next ten years, I will still remember that I used GraphicsPlus as username.

Sorry, if we shocked u. Next time when u leave a forum for a long time, when you come back, try to look around before you create a thread and not just jumping in to write whatever you like. And mind u, as u pointed out, forum is not where u say whatever u like or create any thread u like. That is why we hav moderators who check our excesses and delete useless and spammy threads.

My brother, u are welcome back to NL. Now, u can face reality.

Instead of been focused planning how to make something out of your own life and career, you are busy here trying to analyse someone's business. Keeping waiting for Seun to inform you that he has bought an SUV. You think everybody is like Linda Ikeji that showcases her car on her blog.

I believe Seun is cooking something. Most importantly, placing ad on Nairaland should be done by the advertiser and he will pay with Credit Card. I know there are still things Seun need to fix and I know he's aware and hes working on them.

So telling us to start analyzing his income and bla bla bla, is not necessary. A lot of threads have been opened here trying to know what Seun's income is or to compare NL and Linda Ikeji's blog.

^^^ Owerri to Aba is trek-able. There is a hotel by the left called PowerLine Hotel. They charge 1k. Goodluck.

teemy: still trademarks, that is why adultfriendfinder and facebook fought over facebookofsex.com and facebook won. they own face and book.

And who says someone cannot own axis and security?

You guys are not serious. Go and register google.net or google.info and facebook.ng

It seems the site is now online.

But I have a question.
Who is: http://axissecurity.com.ng
And: http://axissecurity.com

Is it safe to use the name of a US registered security company and also use their exact url, save for the .ng difference?

Again, are you sure this client of yours is registered with appropriate regulatory bodies and recognized by security agencies since the company sells handcuffs and other security gadgets?

Apology accepted.

On a serious note, hear is my advice if you want to learn html, css, javascript and php.
