I would think it would be opposite. Let people use what they know how to and really give it their all. They are handicapping everyone to a beginners level of design just because everyone doesn't use the same language? Why not make everything (in a reasonable manner) available? Web hosting companies do it. That's beyond the point, I just think it's stupid.
Learn some JavaScript. There are enormous amounts of scripting sites dedicated to JavaScript which most are free. Get an idea of something to do and look for examples. Don't copy some one's code but take key features and make something new. I created a "MP3 DJ" application that heavily uses JavaScript to work and it's like nothing I've seen before on the web. Couldn't do it without JS.
I know, that really pissed me off when I read that. I had a lot of plans, but I had an idea for a workaround. since they say there servers dont have php, what it I put all of the php on my server, and just included it into the webpage on oracles server. that way, the server my stuff is on should execute the php, not sure if they would get mad about that or not.
But yeh, I dont see why they have to handicap everyone, with this competition it isnt the best team wins, and in one part of their faq, they say that there should be a programmer on the team...and if JS is the best scripting language they are gonna let me use... oh, and get this, only 50mb of space... There rules seem outdated to me.
and no, afaik, we will have no control over the server as far as a cp or shell access goes, all we will have is WebDAV access for file transfer, they dont even give us ftp.

So pretty much, what they're saying is the competition is about who has the most useful content. We wanted to do this site sort of like P2L and make it like a tutorial site, where each of use would write 20-25 tutorials on our favorite programs strecthing from PS, to C4D, to Dreamweaver, but we can't host all those images and/or video with 50MB . So, does anyone know of another competition like this that may give use some more freedom?

we might be able to still do it, if it was txt/image only, then we could probably do around 10 tutorials each on the progs with images. and it depends on what they say about remote hosting.

Yea, but thats if we have absolutly no "junk" files on it. Like the PSDs and stuff would all have to be on your server. BTW Air, go on AIM.
What is fair use as far as using an audio file on a website. I know for productions such as commercials, you can use 30 seconds without having to pay royalties or anything afaik.
We have an instrumental of a song, I want to get a 30 second clip and find a spot that loops, so it sounds longer than 30 seconds, would that be legal? Does anyone know about that?
Okay, I have a logo for us, but to trasport it to C4D and make it 3D, I need it to be a single custom Phoshop Shape, or a single pen line. I used a brush to make it, so I can't define it as a custom shape, and I can't draw with the pen tool for crap, so if someone could help me out and either trace this in pen, or define it as a custom shape somehow, I'd be really grateful. Thanks guys.
Ok, I didn't want to start a new thread, but I have a small problem I can't solve. Andy's been working with me and we've been considering ways to make custom input boxes, like the one on DeviantArt. We can't use server-side, and I don't want to use flash for this. I had a little idea that he could align and invisible input field over a photshop graphic, giving the illusion that someone is typing into the photoshop graphic, when really, they're typing in a transparent input field. So is there any way to make forms transparent? CSS or HTML would be nice, but anything thats not Server-side is okay.
