  • Best Free CSS Editor

    @ChristopherBurton -- competitive or not, Sublime SFTP is a great plug-in -- easy to set up and use, with many nice options. It is a boon for ST IMO and I find the $16 price reasonable for the functionality added.

    Beta blues or not, it's really a great idea/site. There are a lot of interesting ideas up there.

  • On load change css/hyperlink

    Forgot to mention that in the method I describe above I generally eliminate the hyperlink, keeping only the menu item: About News Contact Us

  • wants bold arrow pointing north east in css

    One way to do it would be to go here and search "arrow" -- you'll find dozens of them. Select the one you like, include it in your HTML and rotate it in CSS to make it point NE.

  • On load change css/hyperlink

    I've always done this by creating a separate style for the link of the "live" page and applying it to that li. For a site with only four pages, that's not a heck of a lot of work. That said, if there's a simpler way of doing…

  • ST 2 question...

    Well, I found a solution. Here are key bindings for the accents used in French, minus the cédille ("ç") which already works, and that allow me to keep the traditional Mac key combinations mentioned above: { "keys": ["alt+`…

  • Is it okay to transition the entire page on full page load?

    That's a nice way to avoid that FOUC ("flash of unstyled content"). The reason I opted for using display:none in the CSS of my site was for the same reason: when I had jQuery hide the content, you got a brief glimpse of it *before* it…

  • Is it okay to transition the entire page on full page load?

    Just went and took another peak at the site you link to with JS turned off. The pages load normally, so the designer is probably serving you a "straight" page if you've disabled JS, and an "enhanced" page if you've got …

  • Is it okay to transition the entire page on full page load?

    Personally I like the effect and use it, though I implement it differently (with "display:none" applied to the body in CSS and a jQuery fadeIn). I just posted a question about what to do about the "js disabled user" yesterday and…

  • For JavaScript disabled visitors...

    Nevermind, TheDoc. I looked into it a bit more and found that I am using modernizr. So, I added the "no-js" class you mentioned to my stylesheet, added: beneath the opening HTML tag and it works like a charm. I've learned somethin…

  • For JavaScript disabled visitors...

    Thanks for your reply, TheDoc. I've been toying around a bit with solutions like the one you're proposing, but don't understand what you mean by it happening automagically with modernizr. Could you explain? For the record, I'm u…

  • Order of elements in "head" section of html document

    Thanks for the comments. And if I had a bit o' script, it would appear just after the JS call before closing the body, like so: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js">

  • Proper CSS Code for Drop Caps

    Take a look at this page, from the venerable CSS-Tricks website, or this one for explanations on how to create drop caps for the web. And, technically speaking, since your initial cap doesn't drop below the baseline, it's not a drop cap. …

  • "Fade to black" effect

    Thanks, Senff -- there was indeed a space after the final semi-colon. I removed and that did the trick. And thanks, karlpcrowley -- I should have verified the code. I appreciate the speedy replies!

  • "Fade to black" effect

    I wasn't working with a live page, just one on my desktop. I did put the page up at: http://mindmadebooks.com/new_test.html and got the same results. Thanks for your help.

  • "Fade to black" effect

    Thanks for the suggestion, karlpcrowley, but I get the same results: no problem in JSFiddle; no go in browser. Also, I suppose you meant that I should use:   in the otherwise empty div?

  • CodeBox, anyone use this app. Opinions ?

    I use it and like it quite a bit. I had tried a couple of other snippet managers, including Snippets, before settling on CodeBox. You can set up your snippets in libraries if you like, organize them in smart groups, tag and annotate them, etc. You …

  • Questions re host switching following recent GoDaddy/SOPA flap

    Well, I feel somewhat the same. The fact is, I opted to go with GoDaddy simply because a close friend recommended them to me when I was first starting out and I really didn't have any ideas of my own as to what I should have been looking for in…

  • Image consecutive fade in effect

    Here's a nice sequential fade in for divs, so it would need to be reworked slightly for image fade-ins: http://jsfiddle.net/RExZs/1/ It's a nice, smooth one.

    I tried a few code management programs (including Snippets) before settling on Codebox. I think it's really well done it suits my purposes nicely.
