2) Script URL (on DD):

3) Describe problem:
Hello
I am student in web design and in order to pass an examination and successfully complete my course, I must build a website. Then I will show my website to some employers offline in order to show my web design skills and find job. For example, when I will find an employer that will be interested in my work, I will send it to him through email (such as sendit.sharefile.com).

Am I allowed to use any codes on your website (dynamicdrive.com) concerning my situation ? Is there copyright issue ?

Thank you for your help
Kind Regards
Michael
