Change font-style when user starts typing
I assume you don't want to use JavaScript to solve this? Could do an on change event using JS.

Height of the footer element
If you haven't specified a footer height then you're probably not clearing your floats if the footer is collapsing. As a simple test add overflow: hidden; to your footer element. To properly clear checkout http://nicolasgallagher.com/micr…

font-size : PX vs EM
Just to add a little extra to this, I use REM's instead of EM's as the math gets complex using EM's. REM's base themselves on the HTML font-size. So nested font-sizes don't get exponentially bigger/smaller/more complex. If…

Feedback on screencasts, pretty please!
Part 9 is now up! I know I promised Wordpress this time but needed to finish up the styling and sort out the responsive side of things! Video 10 will absolutely categorically revolve around Wordpress!

understanding grid templates in photoshop
I know what you mean about padding on containers etc, especially on page wraps for example where you have a background and want some spacing inside it. If you're building responsively, or at least building with percentages this problem will fi…

Remove Content after (
Could even use attribute selectors if the labels are set up properly. input#check-you-want-to-hide { display: none; } label[for="check-you-want-to-hide"] {display: none;}

Remove Content after (
You could use nth-child in your CSS to hide them.

Critique My Site
As @melindrea said, it's just a bit 90's. Colours are a bit dull and typography is super boring, I'd definitely recommend looking into those aspects. I think what you need to consider is that being a developer it's always hard t…

Frameworks are handy, but I'd recommend using the above linked ones as guides to help you to build your own. Nothing trumps custom builds.

Feedback on screencasts, pretty please!
@patrickzdb - Absolutely, that's what I've done with Part 8 (1&2) it's a double length one but cut into 15-20 min chunks. Regarding plugins and stuff, absolutely, the only real one that I'm using that others may not have is …

Feedback on screencasts, pretty please!
Hooray, 2 new videos up as we ramp up and get ready for Wordpress. Thanks to @chrisburton I decided to do a double video this time, so it's around 15-20 mins each, or 40 if you watch them one after another! Part 8 (1/2) Part 8 (2/2)

Converting address into Google Maps link
Got it - http://codepen.io/andyunleashed/pen/CGkpf Edit: I just realised I completely missed the point of what you're trying to accomplish! Didn't spot your original codepen, will have a look at that as well, but the text input turned int…

Converting address into Google Maps link
I think you'll need to translate any breaks or gaps into + symbols to create this. I recently did a "Get Directions" input on a customer site and it literally posts the plain text address via GET to http://maps.google.com/maps so you…

Would anyone be interested in a twice a week live screencast teaching you how to build websites?
Hmm, the only App I use that is on Windows is Sublime really, but that will be a pretty long tutorial anyway. MAMP & Codekit for example are obviously Mac only.

Would anyone be interested in a twice a week live screencast teaching you how to build websites?
@chrisburton - No worries! Appreciate the feedback. I've settled on about 15 minutes now as a base. I appreciate theres a demand for lengthier videos but theres a few reasons for keeping them short. Namely to make it more accessible to people w…

Creating Designs without Photoshop
This is exactly the reason I hired a graphic designer for my shop. My skill set is code, I'm not artistic in the slightest. If you can't do, hire or outsource!

Long option element in Select breaks (pushes out) layout on mobile
Why not set a fixed width on the select? Or a max-width on a mobile size media query? Most smart phones will actually not dropdown but use native scrollers, for example, the iPhone anyway, so it may benefit.

why to write this below line in css and what is meaning of these line
Note that you don't have to use the shorthand, I actually prefer doing it long hand, for example; .box { font-family: xxx; font-size: xxx; font-weight: xxx; } It's perfectly valid this way and I find it easier to read and c…

[Solved] trouble adding responsive embedded content on codrops tutorial demo
From the look of it the video is responding when reducing the width but you haven't positioned it to the center or made it a bigger width than 600px. You need to add margin: 0 auto; to center it, and/or if you want to stretch it out adjust the…

Should I Care About Making My Site Fit on 1024x768 Resolution?
Are you using fixed widths at different breakpoints? Realistically the smartest way to build responsively is to use percentage based widths and simply (as @chrisburton said) stick a max-width on for the top end. That way you're ensuring it wi…
