jquery fadein/out Mar 15, 10, 6:18 p.m.

So I'm trying to do something which I figured was pretty simple, and for the most part, it is.

There is only one thing that is throwing a stick in my wheels.

I am using jquery to do a fadeIn/Out hover effect on a div, this is the snippet of code I am using:

$(".navblock").hover(
function () {
$(".infooverlay",this).fadeIn("f...
},
function () {
$(".infooverlay",this).fadeOut...
}
);

When .navblock is hovered over for the first time, the overlay just appears, it doesn't fade in; however once I mouse out and any time I mouse over it again, it fades in and out as normal.

Mind you, I'm JS retarded, and am trying to just follow along with tutorials, is there a reason why it's not fading in on the first mouse over?

Many thanks in advance!

One App - Multi Domains?? Mar 15, 10, 2:42 p.m.

Does anyone have any experience with using multiple domain names to load a single installation of an application on a central server? Is this even possible? Basically I have the exact same site on a few different domains, with the only exception being their corporate logo.

Is there any way they can retain their domain name but i can move everything onto one server and get it all feeding from a central source? What do you think?

Biz Cards in Miami... Mar 15, 10, 2:13 p.m.

...but online vendors are ok too. Looking for a cheap, but accurate printer. Got a handful of cards to print for a client, probably a quantity of 500/per. Right now they're using U-Printing but the quality is kind of shotty and their trimming is off. I'm in LA but would like to either print local in Miami or online. Any recommendations?

Month in France & Spain Mar 15, 10, 12:10 p.m.

My wife, son and I are spending a month in the far south of France near Perpignan, close to the Spanish border. Barcelona is 2 hours away and we'll be spending several days there and lots of time in northern Spain as well. We'll be there from late May to late June.

I'm looking for recommendations for what to do/see in that area: food, art, specific beaches, towns, sights... anything really.

Also, how do I go about getting cell phone service in that area for a month?

Thanks!
