  • What's behind the scenes?

    To me it just looks like it has it z-index'd and then uses scaling as you scroll. Once it reaches a certain point it just hides the page so it makes the effect that you're scrolling in and as a page passes it fades behind you. That's…

  • Image/span fade-in with JS and CSS swapping.

    I'm using CSS to have spans linked to links that change on hover of a list item. I'm using JS to swap images on hover of a list item as well. I'd like to make it so they both fade in and out when they swap. If you need any more info…

  • [Solved] Website dimensions?

    There is, edit your the thread post and there should be a check box for it. If you're going to get into responsive websites, I suggest using Boilerplate as a skeleton. http://html5boilerplate.com/

  • Ie8 png problem

    Why don't you take all the images, and put them into one? Less HTTP requests, less PNGness, less hassle, more win.

  • Load Social Share Buttons on mouse-over - techcrunch

    You could have two divs on top of each other that, when you mouseover the initial one makes that one invisible and the one behind it appears. You would need to use Javascript as well to implement it. But, this method wouldn't save you on the lo…

  • could i get some direction on the playlist/player of itunes website

    I don't see any player on the link you provided, maybe it's because I'm not logged in or something but seeing as I never use that website I have no idea where to even begin to look for the player. There are lots of guides on how to m…

  • Media Queries: CSS vs HTML

    Yeah, I'm debating not doing it at all really. It seems as though the development of the products has come to the point where it's pointless to absolutely need a media query to assist the devices in rendering the website. So long as it fu…

  • Pre-loading images advice?

    @thomas Sometimes when people have a lot of images, the pages load time becomes excessively long. I know for a fact that websites that use the parallax effect functionality that it always takes ages to load because it's general very image heavy…

  • Pre-loading images advice?

    Quicker way? Probably not. I think you may be able to load them from a folder, but I wouldn't know how to do it. I wouldn't worry about it though, I'm sure it'd just be more of a hassle than writing all of the links out in the J…

  • Pre-loading images advice?

    @pinandmountme A solution to that would be to just keep the script on all pages. In the end, the single HTTP request really isn't a big deal and your file really won't change in size considering all you're doing is adding a couple lin…

  • Pre-loading images advice?

    http://imagepreload.comyr.com/ Make sure you let it finish loading on the first page before going to the next one, this will show you that once you've gone to the next page nothing really needs to load since it's just a bunch of images th…

  • Pre-loading images advice?

    Like I said, it will begin preloading after the page has loaded provided the script is called near the bottom of the HTML file.. somewhere before the end of your < /body >. You can use multiple JS files but I don't really see a point, y…

  • Pre-loading images advice?

    Using this script, you can call it on any page and have it preload images on other, image-heavy, pages. I call it on EVERY page on my website, this is because if you do and it loads as they're beginning to browse the website (which it shouldn&#…

  • Testing IE Redirects

    @jamy_za That is one of the aforementioned programs that I used, it glitches out when it tries to redirect and ends up forcing refresh every second. If there's any way to fix this let me know.

  • What license do you "attach" to your CSS?

    Pretty sure if you have the website copyrighted then the CSS by default is copyrighted, but occasionally you will see notes and special ASCII images in CSS files. But personally I've never seen the need to actually put something like that in on…

  • Parallax Scrolling!

    Seriously took it about a minute to load. It looks great though, I'd suggest looking into jQuery Easing (http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery/easing/) to allow for a bit smoother scrolling and such. Possibly Drag Dealer (http://ovidiu.ch/dragdeal…

  • Issue with the drop down menu....

    Like Paulie said, it's lined up with the left side of the menu button. All you need to do is change the width to reflect the width of the menu category above the submenu.
