If you are using FileZilla, right click on the folder, click on “File permission”, & set your file/folder attribute by typing in the numeric value or check/uncheck each box.
answering my own question:
used jQuery to add a class to it on .load.
I am still curious though how something like this can be done in php. I am sure there is a way to do it; it’s just that I am lot more familiar with jQuery.
Any php programmer here who maybe able to provide a clue or should I head over to stackoverflow? 😀
