  • wordpress nav issue (advanced)

    In terms of creating a WordPress site without page reloading (using window.location.hash), check out: http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/81-ajaxing-a-wordpress-theme/. In terms of the hash not being removed when you go to another page, I think…

    Any chance of a CodePen so we can fix it and send back to you?

  • Contact Post not displaying information

    @traq I was suggesting that we see the entire page (not only the form).

  • Contact Post not displaying information

    I don't know how @traq would feel about this but I personally think the easist way for us to sort this out would be for you to upload a zip somewhere with everything in it so we can put it on our own test environments and play around with it un…

  • Height of the footer element

    Could you post your code somehow please so we are able to troubleshoot in our own browsers? Unless you are using an unsupported browser (where it will display: inline) the fact you're using the footer element shouldn't make any difference…

  • RTL in Markdown!-WordPress

    Still, if this is the only option, you could post it via an AJAX call, couldn't you?

    I think it's a trifle unfair to brand DreamWeaver as not being a code editor. It is a code editor but just also happens to have a ton of extra bloat. Even for people who just use the coding portion, it does bring some niceties such as the fact …

    This thread has some good info about a JavaScript port of Markdown that added right-to-left support: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2258028/rtl-in-markdown/.

  • Basics of SEO - Please advise.

    I agree with Chris's post that the main focus should by past practices: http://css-tricks.com/common-sense-seo-checklist/. Even though it's an old article (4 years seems ancient in the web world), I think the down-to-earth perspective is u…

  • Smooth mobile navigation sidebars

    Personally, I think you're better off using CSS3 animation for this unless legacy browser support is a big issue. As they are integrated natively, they will perform better in the default browser than some JavaScript that has to take account of …

  • Building a Book

    What you are describing is spookily similar to the feature-set of FlippingBook. The only 2 major downsides are the a) the service costs money and b) it does use Flash. However, depending on your point of view, these compromises may be acceptable giv…

  • Creating an input toolbar in admin cms

    What you're looking for is a WYSIWYG editor. The most popular are: TinyMCE (what WordPress uses): http://www.tinymce.com/ CKEditor: http://ckeditor.com/ XStandard: http://www.xstandard.com/ You would then initialize this on whichever fie…

  • Feedback on my website?

    I love the simplicity! Given it's a personal site though, you might consider adding a photograph of you in the header to create more of a "one-to-one" connection with the visitor. This kind of approachability progression is useful if …

  • Critique of web-app

    Love the smooth interface and the sorting options... Is there any particular reason why you chose to have an entrance screen? Most of the time, I feel like if you go to a website it's because you want to use it and having to confirm this on th…

  • How can I reference an Img in a Script?

    Couldn't you set the image dimensions in JavaScript when loading the ad (via element.width =) using the name of adBanner to select it or am I missing something?

  • Website not displaying text?

    Ok. To clarify this a little... Each piece of content that goes in the sections is not within the source of the page itself but is instead loaded in with some kind of JavaScript. It looks like @TheDoc is correct in that blue.html is the file that c…

  • MAMP 2.1.2 myPHPAdmin recommends a newer version - 3.5.7

    I'm no good with complex server stuff really but the method you described of simply replacing the directory in which it was installed with the new version seems to make sense and has clearly been used to good effect in the past: http://stackove…

  • Anyone done a PHP Breadcrumbs nav you can point me too >>

    If you want breadcrumbs to be automatically generated (I'm guessing you do), this makes the assumption that whatever system you are using to manage the site organizes it into a logical structure that you can leverage to create links based on d…

  • Styling Header

    That's called a clearfix. It makes sure any containers with only floated elements inside of them (the header in this case) do not loose there height. More here: http://www.webtoolkit.info/css-clearfix.html

  • Styling Header

    I think you just needed to remove the static width on #search-form so that it just knows to use the remaining space on the line. Here is the fixed version: http://codepen.io/tomrogers123/pen/hveqr

  • Critique My Site

    In terms of the design, I'd agree with most other people as far as the 90s vibe (although when it's a personal site a bit of individually could be a good thing). I am a particular fan of the navigation and the :hover transitions. Perhaps t…

  • Wonky Sub-Sub Menus in IE7

    I think I might have found the issue. According to IE's developer tools every list item in the dropdown menus has float: left applied to it. That would explain why they are displaying inline and not going full width. To overcome this, you might…

  • Contact Post not displaying information

    So, if you're going to use @traq's code raw you need to change the method attribute on the form tag to "post" instead of "get". I know you're having issues with styling but let's get the form working before w…

    Down again for me too.
    Comment by tomrogers123 February 18 permalink
  • Contact Post not displaying information

    Due to the fact that you had the inputs inside of labels before, you're actually styling labels with styles that should be moved to inputs.As for the functionality, when did it stop working? Was it when you changed the PHP? If so, you need to …

  • Why is this div jumping outside the wrapper?

    It'll take some time but try to figure something out for you.
    Comment by tomrogers123 February 18 permalink
  • Why is this div jumping outside the wrapper?

    The problem is #mail need to be position: relative to set a context for the absolute positioning within. You can't do this though because the container itself is set as absolute and so changing it would screw the whole thing up.

  • Input Display Error

    The value attribute is the text that actually shows up on the button. You're using a background image to label the image so you need to hide the web text. Adding font-size: 0 to the button solves it.

    I know you probably don't want the labels to be shown but they need to be in the markup for accessability reasons. You could remove them from display with; #contacts-form label { position: absolute; top: -99999px; left: -99999px; } As …
