  • Background color not showing in IE8? Why??

    One other thing that might help is clearing the floats you have set on your menu items. There are a couple methods to do this. First is you add a div with a class of clear (class could be anything really) after the list item just before the closing…

  • A general question about making a template responsive

    I think the best place to start is a Google search, and ask questions on forums when you run into specific issues. :) Best of luck!

  • Responsive @media points

    They should be in order starting from your widest media query (800px) on down. In CSS any change made to an element below an already set value will overwrite whatever was initially set (with a few exceptions). Therefore by putting them in order, w…

  • IE not respecting z-index

    I've tried removing all positioning possible and using negative margins, but header was still hidden behind .sub-header no matter if I placed the header tag above or below .sub-header in the markup. Probably just due to the nature of sliders re…

  • IE not respecting z-index

    Ah! It must be the IE10 engine that solves this. I just tried this from my PC at home via a screen share and I can replicate your findings in IE10 after setting the browser mode as well. Users without IE10 will still see the issue however, which wi…

    Is there any other solution to this? I need to use z-index in my layout to get the desired effect and in IE9 and below my sub menu does not display outside my header. http://69.195.124.81/~marinali/ The site is responsive, so if you're using …

  • From Wordpress to Kirby

    Welp, I'm on board. This Kirby business is kinda great. The versatility! The options! I might be in love with it. The panel interface I could see be being really user friendly with proper blueprints as well. Only gripe is I was unable to make …

  • problem with media query

    One thing I might suggest is not using position absolute unless there is a specific need for using it. So on your elements like #content and #content img position absolute should be removed; they should stay in the page flow. They may clear up some …

  • Download Link Doesn't Work

    You could either zip the mp3 and serve that as the link or give people instruction to right click and save as.

  • CSS Vertical-align challenge

    Welp, traditional tables are certainly out of the question here. I think display: table; will be best as the site is going to be responsive... more freedom as the display gets smaller. Let us know if you need any help implementing that method! @jo…

  • CSS Vertical-align challenge

    I guess the question now is what exactly @begetolo is using this for. If it's for layout (say something like columns in the footer), and the site is responsive, display: table; would be the clear victor because of the lack of true control over…

  • CSS Vertical-align challenge

    Less browser support to be clear, but display: table; and display: table-cell; are also a solution. However, see this article by Chris: http://css-tricks.com/css-tables-are-not-a-solution/ I agree with him in this case. Granted while personally I …

  • Css menu

    This looks like a job for jQuery! Also I agree with Chris here, use a span instead inside the list item.

  • CSS Vertical-align challenge

    Ok, so you want dynamic width and vertical alignment in the middle? In this case, instead of trying to find some oddball CSS solution that may or may not work/look the same in every browser why not just use a table? Web developers treat them like …

  • CSS Vertical-align challenge

    One method you could use is set the five divs to display: inline-block; and vertical-align: middle;. Only issue with this method is support in older versions of IE. That said you could just make float a fallback for IE and call it a day! Let me kn…

  • Drop down menu prob

    Back when our company used Joomla mainly for sites I would always use the Superfish menu extension for dropdowns. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/menu-systems/drop-a-tab-menus/6731 Hope this helps.

    This is interesting, I've noticed those jagged lines before too. It'd be really cool if browsers could implement some form of anti aliasing.

  • Peaceful Revolution: A unique site we just launched. Thoughts?

    I love it man, very clean! The company I work for designed our site with a somewhat similar approach (large images with opaque content areas). I think it's catching on. Fun to develop sites like that too. Kudos for the HTML5 elements as well!

    Best way do do this is edit the theme files and place your slider inside this php code: Anything in this area will only display on the home page. Be sure you place that in a part of the theme that makes sense and wouldn't break your layou…
