  • Diamond with an outline

    Okay, so that version above works great in Webkit, but not Gecko. FireFox 18 on Mac flips the diamond into an hourglass. Fun times. I'll update again once I figure it out. -Jacob

    Thanks guys! Here's the version I'm running with right now: http://codepen.io/jacobdubail/pen/LciCJ I'll have to use an image fallback for .no-cssgradients, but this should work pretty well everywhere else. -J

  • Diamond with an outline

    Thanks for the great discussion, everyone. This is mostly a challenge to myself. I can generally determine when an image is necessary (or a good idea). As this isn't a logo or a re-used element, I wanted to try to create it using CSS. I don…

  • AnythingSlider in Wordpress - Populate within loop

    Hey @flycessna72, What do you mean by "populate the slides dynamically within the loop"? It sounds like the plugin might not be the best thing for you if you don't want your users to create new slides in the dashboard. -J

  • AnythingSlider FX Builder

    Fantastic! Really slick. I think that would be great to implement into a preview for the WordPress plugin so admins could preview their FX before publishing.

  • jquery help

    The way jQuery works is that when you apply a method to a jQuery object, as in your var statement, it returns a jQuery object. Basically, when you declare the var $about, you are running the load() method on the #loadContent jQuery object. If you …

    You had a horizontal scroll bar that scrolls 3 pixels for no apparent reason. The text-shadow on the nav items was overflowing the view port, causing the scroll bar.

  • Portfolio and blog {Critique please}

    I like it. The background isn't too in your face; obvious, but not obnoxious. You have an overflow problem with your main nav. You either need to tone down the shadow, or move the nav element to the left 3px (at least in FF 3.6.8 on a mac).

    You are probably running a custom loop with the query_posts(); function. This is known to wreck paging. Check out this link to fix it: http://stylizedweb.com/2008/08/13/query_posts-pagination-problem/ Good luck!
