  • Website Design Advice

    @attilahajzer Just give the submit button the background of your search icon, then absolutely position it over top of the text input making it appear inside. (position: relative on the form itself)

  • Pure CSS Perspective Portfolio

    The fact we can do this stuff with nothing but CSS still blows my mind. I love it, If only Chrome's anti-aliasing was working correctly, even basic transforms turn into a staircase, oh well it's something that will be fixed eventually. O…

  • Need help with new site that was launched today

    The main thing causing all the problems is position: absolute, you shouldn't do that on everything it's even on elements with floats. Read up on other methods or take a look at how various other sites are doing it.

  • CSS-Tricks Design (v9)

    Like the new look for the homepage, I don't know how you can re-design so often! The animated reordering is pretty slick, I completely forgot media queries obey transition! Only thing I miss are the slide-in effects on the footer tabs. The …

  • Web Folder Structure

    @jamy_za How do you manage with just a single sheet? :O I've heard bad things about @import, breaking parallel downloading etc. I have avoided using it (i'm sure performance hit wouldn't be noticeable, just my OCD kicking in).

    Yeah they use image sprites, first time I have heard of that being classified as doing it "fake" but as has already been mentioned CSS transform will do the same thing without images, just not going to work completely cross-browser. And f…

  • Why do people expect to pay so little for software?

    Professional documentation can help, the ol' GANTT chart, scope statement and "sign-off-sheet" (contract, without the word "contract") can go along way in showing you're serious. As I'm sure you've read, unde…

  • Cool vertical parallax page scroll effect.

    I love the way they didn't overdo the effect, left it nice and subtle (obviously looks bad when scrolling with the mouse wheel though). On a side note I totally forgot about the next elders scrolls title, thanks for sticking it back in my sigh…
