  • EU Cookie Directive - feedback on this solution (on Joomla! 2.5)

  • Pure JS Help with Cookie Tool

    @andy I am not a lawyer, but have read pretty much all the documentation from the ICO and EU about this directive. It is horrible and very dry. The best javascript solution I have seen is the one by wolf-software - http://jpecr.dev.wolf-software.c…

  • Problem with background image

    From the image it looks like you have the default CSS for the body, or whatever you are calling the container (fish tank, perhaps), is set to transparent. Use "inspect element" on your page from your browser (right click, select "insp…

  • Nested Transition runs twice, only in chrome
