@chrisburton just don't go rackspace even for a small site. Pretty sure they only have 1 data center in Dallas and their virtualization sucks... I ping out alot at peak hours. Ps I'm forced there because a client uses americommerce. I s…

Weird loading problem in Chrome
I'm on my phone atm, loads in mobile chrome every time. Have you tried this on another machine/ip with chrome? With inspector open (f12) do you get any "script has been paused" events? The text/mime call shouldn't effect it....ch…

webfonts vs websafe fonts and alternatives
And a random thought to keep in mind - kerning is important. Almost all fonts will look rather unfinished at display size... until letter spacing is adjusted just right. That's the big "secret" of typesetting hah. Css can sorta kern …

webfonts vs websafe fonts and alternatives
@Zoom caslon, garamond, and gothic are examples of very established display faces. (as opposed to block faces like arial or times). Gothic you may recognize - its such a clean font. Been around since the 40's. Things like the proportion of low…

webfonts vs websafe fonts and alternatives
I guess moral of the story would be stick with tried and true Web fonts (further pimped with css text shadow), lean and mean non-reliance on any display services, and buy the industry standard design faces for your icing on the cake.

webfonts vs websafe fonts and alternatives
Yeah for this example, but all fonts too. Web safe fonts are simply dynamic antialiased and flexi-proportion as opposed to software based rendering trickery. Humans have spent the last 90 years perfecting linotype Inc as an example.... To make it …

webfonts vs websafe fonts and alternatives
Hmm I don't understand why you would rely on a 3rd party at all for fonts. Seems overkill. There's plenty of optimized types out there, that can be loaded via your own management system from your own server. Maybe I'm missing somethin…

Switch grid function
If .class is 50% then you can use div.class as the override for 100% Dunno if f that helps your script but that's how you would override that class by granular means

I'm also using rackspace... Not by choice. I'm not impressed by their network performance.

Wrap elements to top instead of under
Hmm I guess if it were a perfect CSS world, they'd do reverse wrap order too - ie while collapsing, the first element gets wrapped instead of last element. Think RTL languages, everything gets swapped except nav tab wraps :) white-space: left…
-
Wrap elements to top instead of under
Yes true, that's how I usually do it, but I want something that works across all inlines this time. Its not just for navbar. Consider a tabber box (desc, specs, warranty) on a products page. Or tab buttons across the top of a user account pa…

Wrap elements to top instead of under
Consider all the tabs/inline menus out there, combine with fluid width era, use for squishing down data in reverse gravity.... and we see why such a tag would be GREAT news

Wrap elements to top instead of under
Hmm yeah im thinking it's gonna have to be scripted up. it'd be like and element gravity tag if it existed. Its just dumb, ive waited literally 6 years for a css solution hah. I tried all kinds of tags, neg margins, whitespace, clears, …
