    Would be grateful. Confused as to why it works on a phone and not on an iPad or a laptop. Thanks

  • Content not staying within container

    I think you've misunderstood me. Ive not asked about anything to do with the vertical aspect only the horizontal. I DON'T know why the slider content is overextending the RIGHT side of its container. Thanks for looking.

  • Content not staying within container

    Really?? On my desktop and a friends iPad, the slider content (text and image) is extending the right boundary of the section container. The up and down movement is the fx resizing of the panel due to the different amounts of text which the clien…

  • Need some feedback for my website

    Lovely site and I agree - I really like what you did with the hxgn hover. I'm not sure about the slanted nav on the subpages, its a little distorting.

  • Lynda.com course - Create and Edit Custom Theme

    The problem was down to a page.php script in the theme which I didn't realise was there, so I just needed to update that script. Always a good call to revisit the template hierarchy, thanks.

  • Menu toggle for mobile site

    Well, thanks alot for your help. Hopefully someone will have a look or maybe I should start a new thread as this seems to be an issue on phones only?

  • Menu toggle for mobile site

    I made the change you suggested and I like the way when you click a menu item and the page scrolls down, the menu closes automatically. Did not expect that but it is a nice feature. However, I still get a usability problem on phones only, not iPads…

  • Menu toggle for mobile site

    Those changes work nicely thank you. One problem - when testing on an iPhone 4 there are some usability issues: when the menu is toggled open and the user clicks on a menu list, the menu then doesn't toggle closed nor do any of the other menu…

  • Question about Design view vs Code editor

    A good text editor provides features such as colour coding different languages and highlighting syntax errors in your code. Another useful feature is that it will enable you to hide portions of code you're not working on thereby making it easie…

  • function in php

    No - the function as set up allows you to insert to the table 'article'. You could broaden the function by accepting tablename as an additional argument. But you would have to change how the sql query is set up as well as ensure the field…

    Hi I had a similar problem on a website I built using Anything Slider with a javascript dropdown menu which I resolved using jquery.noConflict. Try implementing the noConflict variable on one of the other scripts (i.e. not the Anything Slider one).…

  • Anchor not working

    I've tested the site on Firefox, Safari and Chrome and it works fine on Safari and Chrome. If i disable javascript on Firefox then it also works but javascript is essential to the site so does anyone know a workaround? Thanks.

  • Anchor not working

    Interesting suggestion, but unfortunately neither option worked. However I have now tested the original code in Chrome which is working but not working in Firefox. Will do some more googling on this but in the meantime... Any other ideas?

  • [Solved]Anything Slider navigation

    Thanks Mottie, I had to play around with the css positioning but the general concept worked a treat. I love this slider as it is a lot more flexible than some others I've used. I just need to learn to use its features better.

    I appreciate that you've taken a look. The problem is when hovering over either of the 2 right most nav items (about and case studies) the nested list doesn't appear. Good point about the links and the script - which I've removed. I …
