JS Keyboard Nav Jan 10, 12, 5:56 p.m.

This is killing me. If you can offer some insight, I would appreciate it.

Using JQuery, Javascript: The desired effect is that when user hits arrow keys up or down, page is scrolled (animated) up or down 300px. It works fine, except in FF, where it kills keyboard, i.e. Command-N, Command-R no longer work.

$(document).keydown(function(e){
if(e.which == 38){ $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() - 300});}
else if(e.which == 40){ $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() + 300});}
return false;
});

Is GitHub reliable? Nov 17, 11, 10:53 a.m.

I'm weighing the positives and negatives of remotely hosted JS files (on GitHub) vs. locally hosted files (on my host's server).

This isn't for a huge site or anything, just my folio.

Anyone have a thought on this?

24-Hour Website Crit Apr 8, 11, 8:47 p.m.

Brethren.

I would love to get your comments on a new portfolio site I am working on. I have some further changes in mind already but at this point I just want to get your first impressions.

I really want to hear ANY FEEDBACK - anything that comes to mind. As you browse through, what are the things that make you go 'huh?'. What are the things that make you go 'ewww'?.

*Not all of the client links have content so if click on something and it sends you to the top of the page, that means there is no content for that section yet.

Rip'er apart. I'm leaving this up for 24 hours only.

Poll: Top or Right? Jan 23, 11, 3:31 p.m.

I've been working on a portfolio site and need some feedback. Below are two versions, the difference being the position/functionality of the secondary nav. Only the first project links are functioning:

Option A: http://www.sisuhome.com/1200/ind…

Option B: http://www.sisuhome.com/1200/ind…

Any preference for position Top or position Right? Reasons? All feedback is welcome.

Detect Browser Size Jan 18, 11, 9:56 a.m.

Mates, looking for some script (Javascript?, CSS?) that detects browser window size (not resolution) that says something like:

if browser width < 1200
hide ("#div)
else
show (#div)

Seems like there would be something simple...?

New (?) Burberry Jan 14, 11, 10:45 p.m.

Just ran across the Burberry site... pretty amazing:
http://us.burberry.com

m.site.com? Jan 7, 11, 10:01 p.m.

Say you have a portfolio site, and you want to create a mobile version...

What are the options?

I know creating a Media Query and applying a seperate style sheet but he resulting URL is still the same www.

How do you create an m. site?

CSS Nerds Jan 4, 11, 10:29 p.m.

CSS Nerds, I could use your help...

I've posted a simplified version of some code I'm using for a site here:
http://sisuhome.com/example/

In the example, I have a main container. Inside the container are 2 DIVs (blue), each containing and image and a 3rd DIV (yellow rectangle) that I'm floating just outside of the container using a negative position.

The problem is that even though I'm floating the yellow box out of the way, the first image within the first blue DIV is being pushed down (the same amount as the height of the floated DIV). I'd like the image to slam up to the top.

I've been trying a bunch of fixes for this (display, clearfix, etc) but cannot figure this out.

Help?

iPhone vs. ? Sep 1, 10, 9:43 a.m.

I'm over the iPhone because of reception issues.

What do you think are the best alternatives...?

And, since every other phone won't be an Apple product, will I still be able to sync with iTunes, iPhoto, etc..?

Or, will I need to port everything over to the Google cloud model?

Thoughts?

Javascript Grrrr May 27, 10, 11:37 p.m.

I'm using this tooltip:
http://flowplayer.org/tools/tool…

One of the configuration options is: relative: true

This is meant to position the called 'tooltip' relative to the links PARENT element. For some reason it is still positioning itself relative to the link, not the parent.

Anyone know what is going on here? The WORK link calls the tooltip: http://sisuhome.com/help/

WTF: Should be Easy. May 15, 10, 1:46 p.m.

I'm roughing out the code for a web site and would like a seperate style sheet for iPad/iPod users.

This is what I'm using:
<link media="only screen and (max-device-width: 1024px)" rel="stylesheet" href="css/ipad.css" type= "text/css" />

This seems pretty straightforward but for some reason my ipad specific styles are loading on my desktop too, even though the res is far above 1024. The only difference between the desktop and iPod/iPad experience is that the List Item navigation would disappear.

You shouldn't see the nav, because the ipad css is loading as well, which removes it.

INSPIRED: Where They At May 13, 10, 4:17 p.m.

Maybe you've seen this but I didn't see it in the archives. This is truly an inspiring project:
www.wheretheyatnola.com

The content is original, historical, and untapped.

"Photographer Aubrey Edwards and journalist Alison Fensterstock, over the course of 18 months, photographed and interviewed more than 40 rappers, DJs, producers, label and record store owners from the New Orleans bounce and hip-hop music scene. This archive includes original portraits and interview excerpts, original video and audio, and collected artifacts including vintage records, tapes, scene snapshots and other ephemera."

POLL: Type on the web May 5, 10, 11:12 a.m.

Looking for some informed opinions here....

Say you have a paragraph of text on a web page and the last word in the paragraph is a link.

The link is indicated by a color different from the rest of the paragraph.

Here's the question: Should the period following the link be rendered in the link color or the paragraph color? In print, I'd say yes but not sure what the rules are for web.

I looked here (http://webtypography.net/) but this topic isn't mentioned.

Flash Player Q Mar 29, 10, 12:05 p.m.

Can someone play a SWF from their PC without an internet connection and without the full Flash application installed?

Of course they would have the latest Flash Player downloaded from the Adobe web site.

JQuery ToolTips Mar 28, 10, 3:01 p.m.

Working on this page:
http://sisuhome.com/new/cycle4/

I'm using a tooltip for the nav (white square in upper left corner) that is being triggered onmouseover.

Is there anyway to trigger the nav to show when the page loads too? I'd like it to show for a few secs and then hide itself.

JQuery scrollTo issue... Grrr. Mar 26, 10, 1:35 a.m.

If you could help out, i'd truly appreciate it.

I am working on a site, designing and developing at the same time using JQuery - cycle, localScrool, and scrollTo.

I have 2 links posted, one that works in FF, Safari, and IE: www.sisuhome.com/new/cycle/

And another that doesn't work in Safari (and probably not IE): http://sisuhome.com/new/cycle2/

Why is it that when I add more links (more than 10?) to my nav (and js) the scrolling doesn't work in Safari?

Any help would be suuuuuper appreciated.

Font - Duh Mar 25, 10, 1:21 a.m.

What is this font again? "Serif _____"...

iPhone: Fed-up in SF Mar 5, 10, 11:12 p.m.

The iPhone reception in San Francisco is absolutely horrible.

What are the alternatives?

My biggest concern is reception and compatability with my MacBook Pro.

Do any phones stack up to the iPhone when it comes to Apps and compatability with iPhoto, iTunes, iCal, etc?

Are any phones compatible with this software?

Visualisers - So hott right now. Feb 17, 10, 4:30 p.m.

Looking for links to information 'visualizers' similar to these?

http://www.wereallfans.com/

http://www.mtv.com/netstorage/mt…

I'm being asked to design one right now - not for Twitter but for the "Top 10 popular search terms and articles" on a web site.

Any inspiration would be appreciated!

Flash Q - Load ANY .swf? Feb 5, 10, 3:07 p.m.

Hey Y'all. Is it possible to get one .swf to recognize another .swf regardless of file name (but with .swf extension)?

I'd like to be able throw two swfs in a single directory and have one swf (parent) load the other swf (child) but without knowing the childs name.

Sounds like kidnapping, I know.
