  • Jumpy jQuery Animations

    Thanks @TheDoc, I should have went one way or another with it...pure CSS or pure jQuery. I guess I'm not too worried about IE8 and below. But, I have seen a lot of smooth jQuery animations and have created some that aren't jumpy like thi…

  • need your feedback about my theme

    @Musama, your theme looks great. Clean and trendy (in a very good way). The only things that I could possibly critique are minute details. You could refine your media queries a little bit. I noticed when shrinking the browser that a few things l…

  • Wordpress install going funky! Dashboard looks horrible!

    Hey @JohnMotylJr, You are not the only one who has experienced this problem. It has been happening to me recently, and driving me crazy. I even tried posting it to the wordpress.org forum and got no responses. This occurred the first time when I…

  • Page Errors and Conditionally Loading Javascript

    Thanks @JoshBlackwood. Just out of curiousity though, becuase this has come up before, are these errors harmful towards performance?

  • Slider???

    I might use the Coda Slider 3 for that. It seems like it would be pretty close in style and is built for content sliding. Although, I think you could probably use pretty much any slider for that.

  • Average time to design and develop a custom WordPress site.

    Yea, I also give myself a lot of leeway on my freelance projects. Just curious though... when you all say that you plan 40-45 hours for a project, are you including all of the time that you spend with the client during the initial stages, loading …

  • Average time to design and develop a custom WordPress site.

    Thanks @jshjohnson and @JamesMD... it's good to know that I'm right on target with you guys as far as time for WordPress theme design/development. Seeing this, it seems like the issue has less to do with my project time, and more to do wi…

  • Dynamic Full Width Background Images

    Thanks @aarongmore that is a really interesting solution that I had never heard about. I'm going to look into making that an easily editable input through the CMS for the client and incorporating it into the site. But, have I gone mad @djdani…

  • Dynamic Full Width Background Images

    Thank you @djdaniel150, I do know about using background-size: cover, and that is a very viable solution, because I really could make the image that loads any size (as I have the original jpg). I should have added this technique to the original pos…

  • Dynamic Full Width Background Images

    @Paulie_D that is an interesting idea about having the file be automatically renamed in the WordPress backend and overwrite the previous file. With that being said, the whole idea of using the CMS is that you write the php that outputs the html. T…

  • Dynamic Full Width Background Images

    @Paulie_D, we were talking about dynamically calling images via WordPress (for clients that wouldn't open CSS files). I think those are the only 2 options, and I was hoping to get more feedback about this. You cannot dynamically call css int…

  • Dynamic Full Width Background Images

    Thanks @Paulie_D, I think I figured out the absolute positioning problem though. The img was absolutely positioning relative to the HTML element, because none of its containing elements were set to position: relative. Once I set the body element t…

  • eCommerce and Streaming Video Resources

    Thanks for your response. The copyright shouldn't be an issue (I believe) because they are the right owners and creators of the videos. I'm not sure if they are willing to dish up a large sum of money for the project though. This defini…

  • no-show in responsive design

    I like your explanation @Paulie_D. I ask though because I've had situations where I've added inline img's that were actually decorations, just because I would have had to add extra markup in order for them to be visible as background …

  • no-show in responsive design

    Ok, so I just listened to Laura's interview last night, and started to wonder the same thing. She was very adamant about designing mobile first...which leads me to think that she sets up her media queries with min-width (for scaling up) instea…

  • Problem With @font-face Webfonts

    Thanks for the response @ChristopherBurton, I just learned a thing or two that I didn't know before, after googleing "font hinting". Would it be safe to say though that web fonts provided by sites like Google Fonts, Font Squirrel, an…

  • Problem With @font-face Webfonts

    Thanks @ChristopherBurton I assume by your comment that these fonts should render as they do in Photoshop (Raleway Thin and Ostrich Sans Bold) or in the case of "raleway thin", as it does on this site. Here are the screen shots of both o…

  • Problem With @font-face Webfonts

    Thanks Christopher... Turns out I didn't make a dumb mistake. What I did was turn the font-weight down to 100 and it looks acceptable (although not perfect). I am now having the same problem with "Ostrich Sans Bold" which is also a …

  • Problem With @font-face Webfonts

    Sorry about that...I made an incredibly dumb mistake. I didn't reference the font correctly in my css. Everything seems to be working fine.

  • Search Forms And Default Browser CSS

    I also just checked out the site in IE 8 and it showed up a little off. The button and the search field are different sizes and they have a small space between them. There must be an article or something out there about making your search form cro…

  • Average clients budget?

    Not to change the subject, but what's a typical annual income of a middle of the road designer/developer? It seems like $75,000 if you can pretty consistently make $1,600/week. I'm not a professional, but would like to be one someday (I&…

    Changing the CSS (border-radius, height, width, etc..) values in Firebug Chrome doesn't seem to change the input field. Any suggestions?

  • Browser Compatibility Issue: h1 overlap with div

    Hey, I'm sorry to bug you again, but the problem seems to have resurfaced and I don't understand why this might be happening (because it was working after I had changed the CSS). Any ideas? Thanks, Sean

  • Browser Compatibility Issue: h1 overlap with div

    Much appreciated wolfcry...it worked like a charm. I'm surprised there's no simpler way to do the ie checks. I used to run bootcamp but was happy to get rid of it when I acquired the software I needed for a mac. Thank you very much!
