  • WordPress Pages and Posts

    What you want to do is make a category called events and just mark related posts with that category, so then you could go to mypage.com/categories/events . It says categories in the URL by default, but you can set it up to just show the category nam…

  • Can someone please tell me how they do this?

    Something like that could be done with a combination of CSS transforms and height/width properties and/or JavaScript, as you can explicitly set the height and width of images and they'll stretch however necessary for example: or using classes/…

    Sorry I don't feel like busting open VMWare at the moment to inspect, but here's some great reference links for IE's CSS bugs: 1. IE CSS Bugs That'll Get You Every Time - CSS Tricks 2. IE Bug Explorer - PositionIsEverything.net …

  • running 2 loops?

    Nice looking site there. Anyway, first always check the Codex for other answers before asking, it's the best way to learn. If you tried other avenues then make a note of it. ;) Now, give this a try:query_posts(array('category__not_in'…

  • Featured Content Slider

    I would blame it on one of two things: either you're perceiving it to be longer because it's the first slide or it is actually taking longer because it has to wait for the script to load before it starts doing anything. The CSS should deci…

  • Hide Div if Screen is Smaller than 1024

    CSS Media queries are slick, although not supported in IE 8 and lower. Chris made an article that includes a jQuery (& raw Javascript) method for what you're trying to do that would be supported in any browser (if you care): http://css-tric…

  • In need of a reliable PSD to XHTML/CSS Service?

    @soap This is getting off topic, but it's just semantics really. Many will use Web Developer to include design and coding/marking-up. I do both myself and use that title, but in my opinion it's acceptable to design for the web (be a web d…

  • one column no sidebar

    What do you mean by "all over the page"? Do you mean for it to expand to the size of the browser?

  • Newb help with JS

    This is definitely doable using jQuery. One term that's often used for it is "Coda slider", as the technique apparently was popularized by Panic (Mac OS Developer) on their Coda site: http://www.panic.com/coda/ There are many resourc…

  • Portfolio Site Feedback Required

    Tom, I can tell you have an idea of the art direction which is at least a good sign. Brianallen and maximus hit on a lot of good points that I agree on, although I have some further *suggestions* to help you make a more cohesive design: -Add sugge…

  • Wordpress "More Articles". How to Link to/access Blog Archives?

    You can make a custom template and use it on a new Page in Wordpress. Just use the wp_get_archives template tag in the template wherever you want them all listed. Example: /* some divs, ect. */ /* closing divs, blah, blah */ Make a new page u…

  • Editable Invoice --including tax to total

    Glad to help, although did you see that I cleared the older post added a new post of what it should be? It's based on minimum change to the original script Chris made.

  • Editable Invoice --including tax to total

    Forget that last post, I should've looked at what you were actually using. Sorry about any confusion caused. All you need to do is add a bit to update_total and a small event checker for the checkbox. Below is the code you should actually use: …

  • Problems using JQuery with Wordpress

    I'm fairly sure that once you put the code to enqueue within functions, Wordpress will automatically load that script into the head of the page, so it's not necessary to put in the header.php file. Also if your reference to the jquery.cr…

  • Why IS this working?

    Well if you're just submitting either one without entering any text of course it will do that because the PHP script is already inserting "Name:, Phone:," ect. which is the same default text you have in the boxes. Nice looking site b…

  • Why IS this working?

    Did you by chance add the Thanks page as a custom page in the Wordpress admin? I'm not positive on the inner workings of Wordpress but it seems to me the server (Wordpress) might be replacing the location of the php file with an existing page t…

  • alternating text with jQuery

    Wrap what you have between $(document).ready(function(){ and the closing }); in a function, such as colorChange or whatever you want, and then set an interval timer below it to call the function, like this: var colorLooper = setInterval(function() …

  • Larg textboxes

    If you look at the structure their forms are fairly deep in HTML: https://skitch.com/jfreehill/rywtb/twitter-create-an-account#lightbox They are styling those boxes using CSS in two different style sheets, one that apparently they use on the whole …

  • Organic Tabs do not switch between tabs

    That's odd. Typically using the $() wrapper is supposed to do the same thing. Is there another library maybe interfering with it?

  • Organic Tabs do not switch between tabs

    The HTML/PHP looks alright so I can't really say what the problem would be without seeing a live example test. As cybershot said it sounds like the Javascript isn't being being loaded or called. Try using a debugger like with Firebug and s…

    Edit: Updated jsFiddle example to be more clear and functional. This can be done with the setInterval function native to JavaScript using a 'global' counter. I created a fairly raw example here at jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/F3eaW/3/ …

  • jQuery - Selector (div + variable)

    Have you used a javascript debugger? First off, it would be best to check if the variables are even grabbing an element using that syntax. I would test this by removing the for loop and give 'iter' a set number. Then use the Firebug debug …
