Clickable / Un-clickable phone numbers with media queries
Thanks! I think that will work perfectly for what I need. You've always been such a great help to me and others around here @Paulie_D, so thanks for that as well!

Pointer Events Question
LOL, yeah, that's a way to do it alright! I just wish there were a cleaner way of doing it...

Why Macs became trendy among Web Developers?
I remember Macs being popular among designers back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, before the web became mainstream, however, when the web did become mainstream (around 1994-ish), I would argue to say that most web developers/designer…

Something weird
@Meta_Ing That's really interesting and weird at the same time, thanks for sharing. @Hompimpa It's neat because I love magic!

Something weird
I actually wanted the H tag to partially overlay the image, which I know how to do, but ran into that weird issue in the process. I was really just wondering why that was happening more than I was wondering how do do what I was doing. I appreciate …

Something weird
@ChristopherBurton - I was trying to do something like this. @joshuanhibbert - Haha, I thought for sure you'd be able to tell me the reason was because of some obscure anomaly in the css spec on how block level element backgrounds are rendered…

floats and widths and border boxes and stuff
Ah yes, that makes sense. I guess it's better to use %'s for margin, so I can easily subtract them from the width %, rather than trying to figure out how 10px subtracts from 60%... Thanks!

Need help choosing a hosting company.
Media Temple has been my web host since the mid 2000's and I've always been super happy with them. Also, if you go to the "Deals" section on this site, you can get 20% off, which I used and now only pay $16/mo. Their customer ser…

What is the advantage of tableless html?
Ideally, I believe an html page without any CSS, should look like a well structured and easy to read written document. It shouldn't look much different than a document typed up in a word processor, since the whole idea of most pages is just to …

Which font sizing is best? EM vs PX vs %
At the root, (insert your number here)px, 1em, and 1rem are all the same. After that, it breaks down to whether or not you want to stay relative to the root (rem), or stay relative to the parent (em). For me, I like having one base number (usually 1…

Line breaking H tags
That's what I was doing originally, but was trying to accomplish a similar thing without adding the extra span markup. I'm thinking that's probably the best solution though.
-
Line breaking H tags
I thought about that too, but I wanted the h1 to be a single sentence when styles are turned off, or if the document gets printed. I wish there was a way to target the text after the br tag, but I can't think of a way.
-
Line breaking H tags
True, but I was thinking about being able to style the second line separately also.

Best practices for dealing with lightbox effects on responsive sites?
There's fancyBox, which is a responsive Lightbox-type script that works pretty well. I'm kind of getting into the same school of thought as @cmcp is in and ditching that idea as well. It was cool for a while, but I think there should be c…

CSS formatting preference
Yeah, I like the idea of not telling the browser what not to do also, but sometimes the browser defaults screw with things, so adding the zero margins make it specific. I guess then, if you use normalize or a reset, you're telling the browser a…

Responsive Web Design: When to use px vs. % on margins and padding?
I don't use heights very often, but will use padding/margin to adjust height. I use % and px for top/bottom margin/padding and things work just fine. % gives a more proportional look, whereas px gives a more predictable look.

Borders and border-radius/hover state questions
I added a mix of the suggestions and got it working. I even took away the ul styling for fun! I really like the idea of the first/last-of-type, I just wished it worked at least in IE8 because I don't like adding classes for weird things like th…

Borders and border-radius/hover state questions
The corners of the hover color are protruding outside of the rounded corners. Thanks for the other info.

Borders and border-radius/hover state questions
I've done it before with a class, but I don't like adding to the markup like that. I also try to, at least, support IE8+, so I'm not sure which is better. I tried using the same idea to fix the hover state from extending beyond the bo…

How to be Fluent in English ?
You can practice listening by watching English shows or movies with subtitles, or listening to audio books while following along with the printed version. As for practicing speech, I'm not sure, except for maybe just talking to yourself! Good l…

How a 1px border affects percentage widths
@joshuanhibbert, box-sizing worked perfectly and seems to have pretty good browser support as long as you add the appropriate -prefixes- where necessary. I tried what @wolfcry911 suggested too, but when I add padding to the img tag, it makes the rig…

How a 1px border affects percentage widths
Haha, oops, I was messing with js earlier and commented the CSS wrong! Funny that it worked though. Anyway, I'll take a look at the link you posted. Thanks for your feedback!

Minimal Responsive Image Gallery
Thanks, that helped! I have the thumbnails positioned correctly with the appropriate media queries, now I just need to figure out the best way to display them when clicked.

A Fully Responsive Website.
Yes, definitely make the widths and side margins %'s so they're fluid and then you'll be able to see where you need breakpoints much easier, plus it will flow so much more gracefully.

How to mark "this" up with proper HTML5
I looked at the the html5doctor.com site and it looks really good, so I'll have to read through it more. Thanks again for all your tips!

How to mark "this" up with proper HTML5
Thanks, that's helps put a new perspective on it. It's tricky sometimes deciding what constitutes using a "section" or "article" tag, as the definitions are kind of vague right now. Also, would it make sense in your Cod…

Responsive web design
I don't have Windows XP anymore, but does it automatically update to IE8 when you run Windows Update, or do you have to manually update it?
