Bootstrap - Mobile View Issues.
@rgcouk, thanks and take care!

Bootstrap - Mobile View Issues.
Wow, I was really cranky yesterday and I apologize for that. I won't let that happen again. @rgcouk, Again, I apologize for all of this. You're right, it's not wrong to close your tags that way. I haven't done layouts in tables …

CSS framework crutches!
@rgcouk, I'm sorry for jumping on your about that, it's perfectly fine for you to develop however you want. As for your other comment, I've actually never coded in Notepad, I learned with Macromedia Homesite. Don't stop using the…

Bootstrap - Mobile View Issues.
@rgcouk, it's old syntax. It's xhtml and not html5, so why not get up with the times and do things the way they're done now? If I hung around in the old days, I'd still be designing with tables, but things changed to CSS layouts,…

Bootstrap - Mobile View Issues.
@CrocoDillon, It is valid, but it's from xhtml and xml, which is not needed in html5. To each his own though, right? Lol, I'm just cranky today and little things are bothering me. Sorry guys =)

Bootstrap - Mobile View Issues.
You're using a framework that you know nothing about. You're closing your meta tag with " />". You need to learn about the modern web. If you're still closing tags that way, then you're missing the fundamental unders…

CSS framework crutches!
I get that. Use them as references, learn from them, etc... All I'm saying is, don't rely on them in place of actual understanding. I'm only basing this on many forum posts here where people are using them, then asking why simple thin…

CSS framework crutches!
That's perfectly fine, I'm only speaking to the ones who want the easy way out, then post a million questions about why things aren't working. I understand having questions, but I see so many questions about such basic things, that if…

The best iPhone for responsive development of all iPhones ?
Two words, "device agnostic". Never design for devices, design for content. When you're resizing your browser and the content starts to look jacked, make a breakpoint and fix it. RWD means the content is "fluid" all the way …

Visitors with switched off JavaScript
I don't take that into account when building websites because I figure those users are used to not experiencing things properly. I really haven't looked at any stats on it, but for now, I don't think about it.

Which is the "best" boilerplate?
@Paulie_D: Here's a very quick and messy example of what I was talking about. Of course, it's better when you have a real layout to plan so it's not as messy as this. Most of the time you can create grids with the existing div or p ta…

contact form
You really need to have some required fields like "email", so you know how to contact the person back. As for anti-spam, I prefer using the "honeypot" method rather than captcha, so the user doesn't have to do anything extra…
-
Which is the "best" boilerplate?
@AndyHowells, the thing I don't like about the method you mentioned is this: If you use the class .one-quarter at desktop, it makes sense, but at a tablet size, it may be 50% and at mobile, you have it set to 100%. The class naming doesn't…

Opinions on CSS Frameworks
I've never had to use one and probably never will. The one time I looked at several of them, it was a bloated mess with classes that didn't make a lot of sense to me. I like to think I'm pretty good with CSS and I actually enjoy writi…

TypeKit vs Google Web Fonts
I have Typekit as part of my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, but I still use Google Web Fonts because I may not always want to keep my Adobe subscription and then what happens to all the fonts on all the sites I've created? They get kicked b…

How to open a link in new window with a header?
You can do it in HTML using iframes, but they were weird even back in the day, so I wouldn't use them. You also used to be able to do it in HTML using server side includes (SSI), but I don't know if that still works these days or not. Eith…

The right approach to web design and web development
I hear you. I was lucky to work for people who believed in me for a really long time and I got to grow and learn and try new things. I recently tried to transition from freelancing for 7 years to working a regular job again and I worked for a guy li…

The right approach to web design and web development
Sometimes the best way to learn new things is to get thrown into it! It can be overwhelming, but just stick with it because the web business better than having to learn how to flip all the different variety of burgers out there!!!

merging javascript in one
Yep, you can just copy and paste all of the scripts into one file. I usually do this by leaving a line space in between each script, so I can see where each one starts and ends. This way, you can make sure everything's working well before you m…

Margin Extends Beyond Parent
I've had issues with this in the past and, while I understand why it works this way, I still think it's kind of weird. I'm not sure I like that the browser "assumes" what I'm wanting instead of just letting me define ex…

CSS media queries for telephone numbers
Awesome, glad to help!

CSS media queries for telephone numbers
At higher media queries, you could change the number to something like this: .phone-number { color: #000; cursor: default; pointer-events: none; } Obviously, make the color match whatever your default text is, but the number will stil…

'DRY' HTML vs OOCSS Approach? Better to have less HTML or CSS code?
I've always done option 2, but I just read an article about slower css performance that way, but I think it's a really small hit for most small-medium sites. It's preference more than anything, but I like keeping my HTML as clean as …

Web Page Critique / Suggestions
@Atelierbram, I actually did consult a female designer on this, who selected the Oswald font. I know the typography could be better, but we pretty quickly picked a "heading" font and a "body" font just to break things up a bit. I…

Web Page Critique / Suggestions
@rightok32, When I get back to my laptop, I'll look at some of this stuff more closely, but I really like the "less padding" look of the navigation (it makes it much sleeker). I've looked at it for so long, that everything starts…

Web Page Critique / Suggestions
@rightok32, I kind of agree with you on the header/footer. The header has a lot of blank space and I wasn't sure what to fill it with. I went through several menu ideas, but decided to try to keep it simple since it was a simple one page site. …

Web Page Critique / Suggestions
Great tips, thanks! @rosspenman, Thanks! @howlermiller, adding the "for" attributes makes total sense, so I did, as well as "required". I'll have to go into Photoshop later to remove the border from the images, but that ma…
