Ever wonder how some people have those flawless navigations that catch your attention? They are quick to load, the rollovers aren’t glitchy, and no javascript is used. Wait, no javascript is used? What?! That’s right, this is accomplishable in a very easy and painless way. This way is by using the power of CSS!
The Basics
First off before any CSS is implemented, we must first figure out how to ‘create’ the navigation images. At first it’s going to sound weird, but there is a purpose for this madness! The examples I’m going to use will be from this blog to make this simple. First off, you want to create the navigation button. Your going to put the ‘regular’ button look on the left, and then duplicate it and place a copy of it exactly to the right of the regular button. Do whatever you want to the button on the right hand si ...
Javascript Click to Select All Nov 27 ♦ 1 comment
Well, I was doing some work this morning on displaying the URL to certain items. This of course was to make things more user friendly for people who wanted to paste the url elsewhere within the site. Well instead of just the usual boring "displaying" the url as plain text, I figured I'd kick it up a notch and do some form/javascript stuff to make it a little bit easier for those lazy users. ;)
The Code
Well, first off, I did not write this code from scratch. This code was hard to find and edit, so therefore that is why I am posting it here so may be other people will not have trouble finding it. Again, this code allows the user to "click" on the form element and it "highlights all" of the text. This allows for easy copy and pasting!
This javascript goes at the top, preferably inside the tags. Although this javascript code can be placed pretty much anywhere in the code. It must go before the form field ...
Stupid Blog Bots! And A PHP Script. Nov 7 ♦ 2 comments
This post really has no central issue but I have been doing a few things the past few days to help upgrade d3vious a little bit and make it better.
Spam Robots!
Well for starters, I always check my comments to see who is around and about my blog and commenting and one day I saw 18 comments on my first blog post. Well at first I was thinking, "WOW did everyone just read that or what am I missing here". So all excited, I went to go read them and quickly got sad. What is the reason for this you ask?!? Well besides the 2 or 3 faithful and true comments, there were about 15-16 blog robot comments! Well this pissed me off and because it has happened before but not in this much bulk (last time was like 2 or 3 comments). So what I decided to do about this was add a field to the comments form that asks the user if they are a robot or not. As long as the user inputs "no" "No" or "NO" then there comment will be posted. Anything other ...
An Obamanation? Nov 4 ♦ 2 comments
Well, as everyone knows Senator Obama is now elected president by the people of the United States. Through our electoral college system, Democract Barack Obama won 349 electoral votes, while Republican John McCain won 147 electoral votes. There have been other resounding victories similar to this in our pastime, for example Franklin Delano Roosevelt over Alf Landon in 1936, 523 to 8 votes or Woodrow Wilson over Roosevelt and William Taft in 1912, 435-96. (Source: The Associated Press) Either way, this is not something new as we have seen in our past.
Yee-Haa (Gallop!)
In the days leading up to the election there were so called "gallop" polls that stated the current election status of each candidate for example Obama 53% to McCain's 47%. These polls are clearly just a spark to give the press and American citizens something to gossip about and go by. In my opinion we could do without these polls but the press needs something to feed off of right? My reason ...
RIM Blackberry Storm...Brilliant or Bust? Oct 11 ♦ 2 comments
Well, I know the first thing that comes to mind (especially for you iPhone fanatics) is "oohh a blackberry, EWW" or as some say "crackberries". Well, I have to agree to an extent, but this is only because most are comparing it to the iPhone itself. In reality, what can step up to the plate against the iPhone... Not really any phone at all. At least so far. Anyway so lets examine the positives and negatives that I have been able to uncover so far for this new Verizon capabale touch screen. Oh, and by the way, this phone is supposedly the first ever touch screen blackberry and is expected to be released somewhere in November of this year (08). Verizon slaves lets unite and keep our fingers crossed on this one...
Specifics
Before i get started on the intricate details of this phone I want to first say I got most of my information from PhoneArena. They are up to date with the newest phone ...
