I have am using an image button instead of text for a submit button here and I have used text-indent -9999px to "hide" the text value. However, in IE7 that text is still showing over the button. I tried making the text transparent but that didn't help. Is there something I am missing here? HTML: <form action="news.php" method="post">...
Hi all, I am using the jquery datepicker and I formated my date as "yy-mm-dd" and from PHP my date format is "Y-m-d". I did an alert and viewed the selected date in the "onSelect" event for the datepicker. Within this event I am using ajax via the jquery "load" function to load content into a div. My problem is very odd behavior! For som...
I'm running a Rails app on Heroku, and I'm trying to port over all inline Twitter requests (namely oauth authentication) to a Node.js app, because when Twitter is slow, since the Ruby server is blocking, the Twitter requests clog up my app. (My average request takes about 50ms, but my average Twitter Oauth request takes about 1500ms!) T...

I have tried the following (preview): $('hello').observe('click', function (e) { e.stop(); }); $('hello').observe('click', function (e) { alert('click not stopped!'); }); However, when #hello is clicked, the alert box still appears. I do not want the s...

Hi I have a element, which is absolute positioned and has a fixed height. This element has a lot of child elements, which could change their contents, and in consequence their height. The problem is that the container element doesn't auto expand to fit its children (because of it's fixed height and absolute position). How can I can re...
I have a bunch of divs with weird id and each of them contains a video. They're actually video embed codes but they're not usual to me.

I've uploaded that with the aim of using jQuery's .load() function to pull it into every article. It works in IE7, but not in Firefox or Chrome. Can anyone help fix it? <...
I have a site which uses largeish (60-100k) background images which vary from page to page. When the user loads the page for the fist time, the page content is loaded first and the background image appears a short time after. This is, I understand, intended behavior in browsers but it makes the page loading look quite "bumpy" on slow...

A third-party supplier is providing me with some XML, that one of my applications is happily processing. For debugging reasons, I want to look at it, but it doesn't display anything in the browser, and I (and other members of my team) have to viewsource to look at the (ugly) XML. This sounds like a classic use-case for XSLT, I thought. ...

I (stupidly) double clicked the attachment, which opened up IE, and which contained javascript that ran and took me to a malware site. Some interesting facts: (1) When I create an...

So, I have to determine page type in a proprietary CRM, using JavaScript. The only way to determine the page type (that is, the only consistent difference on the front end) is by examining a script tag (out of many list) whose src attribute begins with /modules/. In a list of a dozen or so script tags in the header, each page has a lin...
