html5 boilerplate - need help -- stuck with lot of CSS issues.
The forum tends to muck up code if you don't wrap it correctly in code tags. Try using CodePen and putting your code there. It will be easier for us to help you. http://codepen.io/pen/

How to Achieve This Functionality without the Use of Adobe Flash
I might be wrong, but I remember an article somewhere that talked about IE and some kind of flaw in the browser that allowed others to track your mouse movements. I'll see if I can find it.

How to work out Conversions from PX to Percentages
@Paulie_D - got it! There was a problem I was working on in the past where another member graciously helped me out and the solution was using vh and vm units...unfortunately since I have to support IE8 it was an unrealistic solution. :(

Approach towards building a portfolio
Yeah. Perhaps my general statement was too vague/broad and I didn't intend to insult any designers out there or demean their work. Again, I'm a developer, not a designer. I'm handed a project with mockups and I make it work. But certa…

Approach towards building a portfolio
@chrisburton, I don't really think the rudeness is necessary - I attempt to help people on here just as you do. I think that there is a need for people that call themselves designers to have a basic understanding of what can and what can'…

Approach towards building a portfolio
To expand on what the above folks said, if your portfolio is going to show a ton of animation using css transitions and javascript and focuses more on the movement of the elements as opposed to their aesthetics, then you're probably leaning tow…

How to work out Conversions from PX to Percentages
To be honest, px to % is not really something that happens in the real world. @Paulie_D, care to expand on this? In my experience it's used in font sizing quite a bit. Unless I misunderstood what you meant. Here's a handy converter. …

CSS framework crutches!
Sometimes the best way for someone to learn something is to take apart what someone else has already done and then put it back together (how I learned to build computers for example). I say as long as you understand the parts you are dealing with a…

Disband the W3C by Matthew Butterick
Yeah, pretty much what I thought...except nicer.

Disband the W3C by Matthew Butterick
@chrisburton Python was actually my first programming language before I moved on to C++, C#, and then to front end web development. The syntax is supposed to be easier to understand and read because it's very close to a human readable language …

Disband the W3C by Matthew Butterick
He's got some good points - but I think he generalizes a bit much. For supposedly knowing how to program, he makes a really poor case for it (or doesn't really understand it). I was with him (mostly) until he started droning about using P…

Thoughts on design and copy
I like it :) Love the subtle animations and transitions especially. Very clean. Also, cool croc story. :)

What do you suggest?
Also check your spelling and grammar (see: stoping in the first ad). That first ad looks like it was pulled from the 70s or 80s. To me, it just looks old/outdated and not very interesting.

What is JSON? And should I be using it?
Well, there is this Most of the json I've used has been in combination with ajax calls to controller actions. (MVC3 framework)

Video vs Text tutorials
I prefer text/screenshot based - a combination is ideal. Since I'm doing a tutorial to learn, I'm obviously not going to move as fast as the teacher is in the video. Kind of a pain in the ass to pause and play, pause and play, take a note,…

What is JSON? And should I be using it?
I used JSON to pass data when I was checking the number of active users in a db for a community. The data would then be used to populate a counter control that did a cute animation whenever we got new signups. Just an example but yeah it's han…

Anyone recently mess with Drupal?
I have a friend that works at a Drupal shop. Sad to say, he can't stand it and everyday is a challenge as it has a lot of oddities that other CMSs don't have. I could find out more for you if you're interested.

jQuery plugin callback and 'this'
im getting 10, 10, 10. EDIT: Okay so on FF it doesn't work at all. And yes, on Chrome it's showing your error.

HTML editor as a job?
I agree with the folks above. Most employers/potential employers will appreciate your honesty more than if you lied/exaggerated and then couldn't perform your job.

Next step in Web Design career path
I'm with @chrisburton - guys, the more free crap we do for people, the less seriously people will take front end developers and web designers.

Opinions on CSS Frameworks
Right there with @wolfcry911 and @TheDoc. I use normalize but I absolutely hate having to reverse engineer other people's stuff or deal with the unnecessary bloat/crap classes that are present in many frameworks.

Website Input
Yeah it's just showing up as "serif" font for me.

Website Reviews
Overall, I like the theme. Very clean and easy to read. A few suggestions. 1) The hover states in the secondary menus are hard to see so I don't really know what I am clicking on. 2) I would fix the item listings so that "Add To Cart&quo…

Is it ok to re-position elements outside their div?
I think I might take a look at my existing layout first and see if there is something more fundamental I am doing incorrectly or poorly before just slapping a position:absolute on it. In my experience there is typically a better way to do something …

Last Round: Thoughts on my latest site
For the surf thing...is it a mandatory part of the site? If so, make the label a bit more clear as to what it is ("surf" is kind of vague) and make it a click event instead of hover. For the menu items, I agree with @Paulie_D. Same with t…
