  • the zero (or negative) height problem of elements inside an initially hidden container

    phew, that was a long title. But it took me a while to figure out too. basically, I was working on creating a grid with list elements having the same height. I had done this before on Save22’s older version, and had made a function for it: function same_height(container) { var items_height = []; $(container).each(function() […]

  • bootstrap: two toggle buttons on the nav bar

    Problem: Both menus on the mobile version collapses when the buttons are pressed. You only want one menu to unfold at a time.  Found a fix here: http://jsfiddle.net/gNUEx/ Modified the code a bit: var navbar = $(‘.navbar’); navbar.on(‘click’, ‘[data-toggle=”collapse”]’, function(event){ var $target = $($(this).data(‘target’)); if(!$target.hasClass(‘in’)) $(‘.container .in’).removeClass(‘in’).height(0); })

  • front-end to server-side workflow

  • responsive design and client pitches

    Right now, I’m testing out waters with a potential client who is requiring me to submit PSDs of 4 different resolutions (mobile phone, tablet, “medium” desktop, wide-screen desktop) and I’m taking around four hours just trying to design for 1 resolution of 1 specific screen.

    *lobby calls* Ron: are we expecting a guy named J? Everyone: huh? No. Ron: *on the phone* no, we’re not expecting anybody. Lope: do you want me to go and check? Ron: ok. Three minutes later — Ron: Oh. My bad. It’s the SEO guy

    wordpress codes: advanced custom fields and grouping select repeater fields

    Here’s an example of a repeater field on WordPress: Basically, I wanted the page to render the service names under the similarly-labeled service labels.
