  • what "kind" of gallery?

    I really like the clean look of JUST the slider with left/right that show when you go near their respective edge of the image for homepages. If its a gallery page on a site, I think the big frame with the thumbs below is the best.

  • IE not displaying site correctly...?

    It looks exactly the same in IE9 for me. What is wrong with it in IE for you?

  • Sold To Date Counter

    I agree with Andy. If its a eCommerce site, I would imagine it has a database behind it. Just count sales of the item and echo it out.

    I'd use tags inside the table cells if you really needed them, otherwise set the styles via the tags (which for what you are doing, would work fine). Get rid of the

  • !doctype is screwing with my animations!

    Try this as your base: http://codepen.io/Pmac627/full/xKfwb It works in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. The positioning of the elements differs by a few pixels, in each, but that is unrelated to the animation.

  • !doctype is screwing with my animations!

    Also, remove the double content-type meta tags. First you set it UTF-8, then you override it with ISO-8859-1 EDIT: So, I made those changes to an offline version of that page you linked and now it stopped working in properly in Chrome, although bot…

  • !doctype is screwing with my animations!

    Start by reordering your animations as per @Paulie_D 's suggestion and add to the top of your page. I did that and it made the animations start to move upward, though its still not exactly what you want, its a step in the right direction. I wo…

  • which is the best shopping cart software ?

    OpenCart. I used osCommerce on a project and it was horrible. More than half the users couldn't stay logged between pages, the backend was a pain to use and in turn teach to the clients. Ended up moving over to OpenCart which utilizes the MVC …

  • What are you listening to while you code?

    It depends on the project and how well its going. I tend to lean towards hard rock when I'm on a hot streak, classic rock or country when I first start or am on a nice casual/steady roll. When I get stuck on something, I tend to switch over to …

  • ::selection will not work at all

    Would the fact that the script @Paulie_D pointed out (jquery.fancybox-media) be causing an issue because it was missing an extension? Not sure if it might have held a necessary component to the date holder? Probably not, but I figured it was worth p…

  • CSS Long Files

    @TheDoc - using bgcover() and @include bgcover in your example above, is that also preprocessor only CSS or is that something you can do with plain old CSS? I was under the impression that stuff like that was not available in plain-jane CSS. Sorry f…

  • Sticky Menu

    z-index is just a third dimension to align the element by. Think of it as distance from the the screen/behind the screen. By setting the z-index higher than everything else, it essentially tells the element to float overtop it, rather than trying to…

  • Sticky Menu

    I just used firezilla to play around with it but the following got what you desired. Add these (or change these) values in the two rules. #menu-wrapper { position: fixed; z-index: 9999; } .content { top: 53px; }

  • How do you include more advanced languages into your Web Development? (ie. Python, Java, C++, etc.)

    Focus on PHP, JS, CSS, SQL and HTML. Thats all you need for just about anything spectacular on the web these days. And if you can write/read those inside and out, picking up a new language doesn't take as long. You'll have the concepts dow…

  • Calling a string in a link

    Perhaps try echo $email; instead? Good call, @traq. I can't believe I missed that as well. Try to echo $email somewhere on the page to make sure that it actually contains a value.

    Keywords aren't the only thing that influence Google results. While I still believe it is good practice to use the keywords meta tag, it holds little weight with search engines these days because of misuse. From source view it looks like your …

    @NSR - It shouldn't matter where you put the IE redirect page. But for easy use, put it in the same directory. Make sure you add a redirect back to your main site if the user HAS IE9 or above (or another browser) so that people don't direc…
