Full Page Background + Pattern
the issue is the contains only the content of the page, whereas fills the entire viewport. on pages shorter than a full window, you're gonna get the problem you describe.

CSS3 Accordion as nav
to be honest, i wouldn't suggest using pure CSS for an interaction like this. you should try a jQuery accordion instead. #1 reason being this is webkit-only, meaning you're making the menu unusable to the majority of your visitors. #2 b…

Website Feedback
last i heard, custom CSS cursors have very limited browser support. and when they are supported, they usually only accept .cur files. can't seem to find anything to back this up though. but if the client is running IE8, then i wouldn't wo…

Purchasing domain for client
i'd have to agree with @TheDoc on this one. it's always best to make them get it themselves. should they want ownership of the domain later on, domain transfers are a pain.

New website for Poker iPhone App...feedback?
great overall. the interactitvity of the phone is awesome. pretty cool, unique idea. some ideas for improvement: 1. make the logo on the default iPhone screen more interesting. right now it doesn't give much visual interest until you click on …

css background gradients
attach the css to the html tag instead. the body tag ends where the content ends, whereas html will always be at least the full browser height.

CSS3 multiple columns question
yeah, what @TheDoc said. css3 columns is meant more for columns within a single piece of content, similar to what you'd see in print formats like newspaper and magazines. more importantly, it's safer to stick to a traditional layout with…

no js, just css slideshow
like @brightonmike said, cross-browser compatibility would be a major issue, which is why we're cursed to rely on javascript for the time being. there are some css-only slideshow solutions that do work cross-browser, but they are very limited …

Why I am not allow to generate the font-face kit for myriad pro
cufon basically creates an entire font rendering engine in javascript to display custom fonts. @font-face just points the browser to the font file so it can render the font. as a result, cufon generally looks better (especially on windows) but is m…

Scrolling iframe on iPad
to my knowledge, mobile safari doesn't allow scrollable divs using CSS's overflow property. i'm not sure if iframes behave differently. my best idea would be to use something like http://cubiq.org/iscroll to create a fixed-height, s…

Internet Explorer Styling Problem
Compatibility Mode forces IE8 to render as if it was IE7, so this problem is visible to all users on IE7. the problem is, when setting "float:left;" it's also applying "display:block;" which is causing the issue. what i&…

Huh? Gradient backgrounds Remove border-radius in IE9???
question: what is "-goog-ms-" for? never seen that prefix before.

Header line
@fourize - inline-block doesn't behave right in ie7 and lower; it renders as a block element. i'm 99% sure (can't check, i'm on a mac) your dotted line is getting covered up for geriatric internet users. if you care about ie7 us…

Header line
i prefer: Header ...and CSS'ing it similar to how you guys have done. this way, you don't need to mess around with changing display attributes of elements. plus, i am paranoid of div-itis. but yeah, whatever works.

Need some suggestions.
lol, this is a joke right? something's not adding up. i look at this and i see advanced CSS affects such as box shadows, rounded borders, linear and radial gradients, scaling and transitions. you're even using @font-face for the icons. an…

CSS Noise
i don't think you can achieve this through pure css. since you can't really randomize the dots, it's always going to end up looking polka-dotty. i'd love to be proven wrong though.

iPhone VS Android
iPhones are definitely more reliable and have a smoother experience out of the box and have the luxury of iTunes syncing. biggest drawback is the iron clamp of the AppStore and iTunes. Androids are much more customizable and open, and recently have…

Google Fonts rendering issues
you're going to run into the same issue with any @font-face solution (google fonts, fontsquirrel, typekit, etc.) the thing is older browsers on windows use windows' font smoothing, so some fonts will look like crap. a classic example of …

XML ON Websites!
from my experience, many recruiters tend to just list every possible web technology in job postings, whether they're actually relevant to the job or not. don't let that list discourage you from applying. chances are only half of those &q…

Archives page is mysteriously styled in ALL CAPS, why? why?
body tag has a class of "date" which has text-transform: uppercase; in it's css. everything in the body will be uppercase as long as this class is on the body.

make sure you get a mini-DisplayPort adapter when you purchase the laptop, otherwise you won't be able to connect it. the mini-DisplayPort is the only monitor port on MacBooks these days, which is kind of annoying, considering that no monitor…

Body font-size: 100% reset

Problem with font on Macs
Impact is a native font on Windows, OS X 10.4+, and even iPhone. @font-face shouldn't be necessary. Looks fine to me on my Macbook. However, Impact is intended mostly for headlines, at smaller sizes it renders like crap. Have you tried scaling…

Best mac for webdesign?
@aaronsilber - didn't sting, was just worried my point didn't get across, which i'm still not sure it has. i don't think anyone could argue that a client would refuse to hire you based solely on what laptop you use. Your choic…

Best mac for webdesign?
@springlab - i didn't mean to sound derogatory with the "status" comment. when you whip out a macbook, you're instantly perceived as a serious design professional. can't really get that same intangible effect from a thinkpad…

Best mac for webdesign?
if you're concerned about price, get a pc. if you're concerned about status, get a mac. as long as you don't get a netbook, it's pretty hard to get a new machine that can't handle the duties of web design.
