  • Should I tell client that I will be using a paid theme for their website?

    Hi all, Thanks for the responses. The quote I've given the client is based on using a theme, so I'm certainly not trying to overcharge them nor be dishonest. My concern is more that when the Client chooses the Theme, they can see the pric…

  • How can I feed content from one webpage into another??

    Thanks for the reply. Do you know if by using Fetch you can manipulate content? For instance fetching only the first 20 words of content from a div, or can you only fetch an entire div or url?

  • How can I feed content from one webpage into another??

    Hi sorry if I've caused confusion. It is not a Wordpress site that I am referring to. It's just a regular HTML/CSS website. To clarify what I am trying to do, I'll use an example... I have a web page with a list of products with a s…

  • JQuery Banner Bug - Help Needed

    Hi, well spotted on the .slideshow's width. I corrected this, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. The frustrating thing is that it works on my computer locally, but not when I upload it. Any ideas?

    Hmm... Sorry that doesn't seem to work either. Can I check if I'm possibly doing something wrong? I could only find $.fn.scrollspy.defaults = { offset: 0 } I changed this to the code you suggested in the previous post but this hasn&#…

    Hi Josiah, Thanks for the speedy response, that's worked perfectly. I have also noticed that on This Page when you select one of the hyperlinks on the A-Z, and it goes to the anchored link, some of the page is hidden behind the header navbar.…

    Strangely I can't actually see the location of this code in any css or php file in this Wordpress theme. I can see it here .navbar-inner, .navbar .fill { background-image: -khtml-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#CAEDFA), to(#8…

    Thanks Paulie. I tried looking at the code to see i there was anything that referred to the glaring pink gradient I am getting but couldn't find anything. Out of curiosity have you looked at the CSS to see where I am going wrong? Pretty much g…

    Hi Senff, thanks for your input. I can now see what's happening with the navbar being sticky. I hadn't noticed this before. The reason I am wanting the logo above the navbar is because my client doesn't want the black/white branding …

    Thanks Karl, I assume you meant position: absolute!important; Anyway, that didn't work either. As I'm using Bootstrap there is a lot of code in the stylesheet so I'm wondering if I need to amend this elsewhere

    I just tried changing it to absolute in the following piece of code .navbar-fixed-top { position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1030; } However this didn't work. Do I need to change it somewhere else? Also I tried adding…

    Hmm... the files are definitely there but as I'm working on the site in Coda on my machine. I think it's to do with the way that I am linking to them. The links like this below just don't work. I'm sure it's something qui…

  • Embedding Licensed Fonts which can't be downloaded

    Hi Chris, I'm interpreting it as a font that is not available via Google Font, @Font Face or any other web font library. As far as I am aware Klampenborg isn't currently available through any of these services

    Hi Chris, yes that's correct. We'll only be using this for headings and would be lighter in weight than using image sprites

  • Embedding Licensed Fonts which can't be downloaded

    Hi, I'm not tied to using @font-face if there are any other options available? The important thing is that I can use a custom font, which we have purchased a license for, and secure it so that it can't be downloaded. Any ideas?
