There is no way to style the options in a select box in Android/iOS, right? I can't find any definitive documentation from Google/Applecode:

I'm unsure if I'd actually use the code it generates for production, but for comps it looks pretty amazing. kedo fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Jul 24, 2013 |

Good news: nobody has been able to make a WYSWIG editor that works as advertised, and a lot of people have thrown lots and lots of time and money at the problem. Obviously we have to wait and see, but there's so many corner cases and oddities for developing something other than single-pages that while this might be a great tool for helping get a base layout up and running, I wouldn't get all depressed just yet.

Yeah, I was mostly exaggerating. But I do think that markup is one of the easiest 'problem' related to webdev and sooner or later someone is going to code something able to produce 'perfect' or at least serviceable code.

Yeah that Macaw thing looks pretty amazing. What was the name of that software that set up some kind of virtual web server really easily? I feel like the word 'up' was involved somehow. Alternatively: what's the easiest / simplest way for me to set up everything necessary to run Wordpress on an old Ubuntu laptop so that I can do some theme development stuff locally?

Thanks both. Vagrantup looks pretty cool, but it's not quite what I remembered. Anyway installing apache / mysql / php was easy so I'm all set.

If you do the math of when upgrades were released and what an upgrade usually costs, it's actually cheaper month to month. They're no longer planning major versions you have to upgrade to anymore; they release features when they're done.

I've been a creative cloud user for about a year now and it's the bee's knees. I no longer have to worry about out dated adobe software, and I was able to use my old product key for a discount. Plus I have access to everything, and some of the preview apps they are working on are cool. Once they release typekit functionality on the desktop it will be even better.

What 95% of people who complain about Creative Cloud mean (and I'm not implying Flaggy is one of this group) is "Awwwwww crap. I might have to start paying for Adobe software now... " I haven't used it yet (I use Sketch.app now for 99.99999% of my design work) but if the pricing seems steep to some, just add a month of it to your bill per project as a line item "Adobe Cloud Access... $X.xx"

" I use Adobe products at work and we do pay for ours, but our boss is of the mindset that if its month to month we are getting ripped off. He is one of those people who likes the feel of a tangible product in his hands. Of course he is well over 50 so that might have something to do with it as well. I mean we still use CS5.

CC is a ripoff if you like to A) own the software you pay for and B) skip versions. Otherwise it's fine. iirc they're eventually hoping to do away with selling stand alone versions at all, which a lot of people hate for various/obvious reasons. Anywho. My whole studio uses the Creative Cloud and it's a-okay. Too bad the pricing sucks. e: Also I took great pleasure in ripping Adobe a new rear end in a top hat in the satisfaction survey they sent around a few weeks ago. I'm sure my words pierced the heart of some Adobe executive somewhere... "My god, this kedo fellow called our business practices abhorrent. He's so right, how can I continue living this lie?" Yep. That's totally what happened. I'm sure of it. kedo fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Jul 24, 2013 |

Macaw looks amazing, but I doubt we'll ever get a 100% perfect WYSIWYG editor, ever. Even thought I'm loving it's abstract, Photoshop-layers palette-style approach, I wonder how well it would handle a non-traditional layout.

It's time to talk about email campaign services! I have used Mailchimp in the past and really liked it, why would I pick someone else? vv That's what I thought.

Hello again, In my first faltering steps into web development I have stumbled across something which I can't get my head around. I'm trying to learn jQuery and Javascript in general, via codeacademy, and say I have code like the below: quote:$(document).ready(function() { there is a ) at the end. There is no corresponding ( anywhere above it. Why does this work? Is this intended? Is it just a quirk of the language that it needs to be there? Sorry, I expect my question is very, very basic, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right so here is a question... I just got an entry level job for a web development company debugging clients systems. I have no idea what I am doing. So far I have come across a few techniques and I am wondering if goons know any I should look into. So far techniques I have used include real time trace logging, ?showXml=1, and a couple tools; WinSCP to browse and edit live code with notepad++ and mRemote to handle many connections. Are there any tips/techniques you guys find invaluable? Any articles or books I should read? If this generates much response I'll start a thread.

Loads of jagged edges and other poo poo, and you usually have to implement some really stupid hacks to 'fix' them up. e; Or just sit around being like 'oh well, guess my fonts are going to look like the dude who cut the blocks had the shakes.'

I'm trying to use JavaScript to pull in reddit submissions. Using this works fine and pulls in the submissions, but it responds as though no one is logged in and uses the default subreddits: code:
I have almost no idea what I'm doing. Anyone have suggestions in how to make my code above pull in items as though I'm logged in? I've been looking around trying to figure out how to use the reddit API with JavaScript and have found nothing. I would guess logging in through the API first would fix it?
