  • Wordpress Posts Image

    Hi Cybershot, Maybe it is a bit of a longer way. You can just use 'the_meta()' or 'get_post_meta($post->ID, 'key name', true);' which will bring in any post or page custom fields but they have to be 'inside…

  • Wordpress Posts Image

    This is done with Custom Fields. These can be a bit scary at first but here's a bullet proof way if you've never done it before. Add this to your functions.php in your theme inside the php tags. function get_custom_field($key, $echo = FA…

  • 'MAIN BODY' Moves on navigation button press

    This is caused by the scrollbar appearing when your page is longer than the window. You can either set the height of the html tag to 101% so the scrollbar is always there or do this. html { overflow-y: scroll; } The later won't valida…

    Hi, I don't have IE6 in front of me but I reckon it's got something to do with the top 10px margin on the tags. Get rid of that and put a top margin on the instead. Give the a height of 11px too. I could be wrong but give it a try. T…

  • scrolling an image across a web page

    If you check out the site in Firebug you'll see that the gifs are being moved with a bit of custom javascript. Some simple margin adjustments make the fish look like they're moving up and down. The clouds are being moved with a simple an…

  • Javascript help anyone?

    Hi Urban, I'd recommend using one JS framework to avoid conflicts. jQuery allows you to use jQuery() instead of the $() to avoid these issues but I'm not sure about Mootools, etc. Both jQuery and Mootools have a range of plugins that wil…

    My understanding of Javascript comes from Actionscript in Flash. They're syntaxs are both pretty similar. Loop in Actionscript for (var x:Number = 1; x < 10; x++) { ***** something here ******* } Loop in Javascript for (var x = 1; x <…
