Anyone have experience with optimising layer compositing in Chrome for Android? I've moved a lot of an app I'm working on over to using translate3d to prevent layout paints where they aren't wanted, and performance is excellent on iOS, desktop chrome and Firefox. On Chrome for Android however, I'm hitting a composite layer calls lasting a full second. Firefox on Android has no such problem. Anyone got suggestions on how to get Chrome behaving well with 3dTranslate.

CSS3 Glitter Star Effect PONIFY ALL THE THINGS JavaScript Starfield that follows your cursor and probably will make visitors motion sick after a while Also look into mouse cursor effects.

Why settle for confetti or fireworks when you can be both cheesy and a few months behind the times? Put some lovely snow on that page. points++ if you include a three month late holiday greeting in a glitter font.

I'm coding up a website in CSS for a friend, and he wanted to do this sort of design for one of the pages. (The colored sections aren't going to be in the final product) Anyway, the areas I've outlined in green boxes are to be the borders. However, I've looked online and I've only seen CSS tutorials for "homogeneous" borders. Like if I wanted the vine scroll to wrap around the entire frame, I could do that. However, I also want the design at the top and bottom to appear. I'm a bit stumped at how to do this elegantly. Or should we just settle for making the whole frame a single static image?

You're going to have a Bad Time unless the container with the border has a static height. Trying to have it repeat and terminate at the right spot is going to be nearly impossible otherwise. One image would work, however if you'd like to cut down on file size you could make the top and bottom both individual images, and then repeat the left and right borders as background images on a div with a set height that's a multiple of the image's height. Heavy emphasis on set height.

My css is pretty good, but I have a friend who would like a tutorial in css/html basics and I'm not really sure what to point them to. Any suggestions? Is the net Tuts+ tutorial the way to go? (it's the only one in the initial set of posts that explicitly mentions css)

Thanks for the tips, guys. I think we'll just settle for the simple "single static box" solution.

Thanks for all the suggestions for adding some bling to my webpage, it was a big hit at the office I'd include a screenshot of what I ended up with but it's for a private intranet site... Got another questions...is there another wysiwyg editor library that isn't abandoned? I've been using https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5 but it doesn't look like anybody works on it anymore.

I want to build a set of dynamic forms. They should be "dynamic" in the sense that I'll want the user to be able to add fields for various things. I don't want to save any of the information entered in the form, but I do want it to be flexible enough to (eventually) do the following: * Print the form (easy enough) * Email the form in a readable format * Export the form as a Word file * Output the form to an API For now, it's enough if users can print and email the form. Last thing: it needs to render in the browser. No special server-side stuff like PHP. I want people to be able to download the Github repo, click on index.html, and use the forms on their own computers, if they way to. I'm thinking this means incorporating Javascript, but I'm hoping there is a forms package out there that I can just use, instead of starting from scratch. Any you recommend? Here is what I have so far, just using basic HTML forms for placeholders while I work on the look and feel: http://lawyerist.github.io/law-practice-forms/index.html Robot Arms fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Mar 20, 2014 |

As far as I'm aware a js solution for a mailing form doesn't exist. You can create a mailto: form but it will open the users email client to send data.

I guess I should have said it could be done, but that it was a bad idea. According to his link: quote:These are generic law practice forms. You can bookmark this page and use them right here, create your own fork in Github, or download the files and use them on your own computer or website (see README.md for help with this). However you use it, we would love your feedback. I'm not really sure I understand the appeal of this. It looks like a standard contact form with a few additional fields. Unless it spits out data in a special format required by law offices I don't know why people would use this vs. a standard contact form through WordPress / whatever framework they are using. Maybe samglover can elaborate.

He's going to make a boilerplate generator for a law firm, that's just the initial client intake form that will take that in and spit out their terms of engagement. He's also presumably going to make dozens more for the different filings they do.

Well if it's only going out to non-technical folks you could use Mandrill and just base64 encode the API key and be careful with who you give it to. Your average legal aide probably isn't going to care enough or go through the effort to figure out what all those numbers mean (if they ever even look at the source code). e: Or you could require the user get and use their own API key.  e2: Or you could get some cheap hosting and just point email to a PHP file on your server which could do the actual sending. This all really depends on how public you're going to make this tool.

Oh My Science posted:I'm not really sure I understand the appeal of this. I'm trying to build a fairly simple set of standard forms that I wish I had for my own firm when I was practicing full-time, and that I think other lawyers will find useful. I will add more forms once I get the basic framework done, but the intake form seemed like as good a place to start as any. What you may not realize is that many lawyers are actually just going to want to print this out (to PDF, if they are a bit more tech-savvy) to put in their paper client file. (Many lawyers do this on a legal pad, and are lucky if they can find their client's phone number when they need it; others use a Word document.) In other words, print.css is more important than letting lawyers email the form to themselves. Although eventually I'd like to recruit some of the practice-management software vendors to integrate these forms into their systems. All of those systems allow you to enter this type of information (hell, so does Outlook), but they are not process-oriented, which is the piece I'm trying to work on. I'm not trying to change the world; just put together a useful bit of code and put it out there for free in the hope that a few other lawyers will also find it useful. Anyway, figuring out how to allow the user to add custom fields is actually the most-important thing I need. I just want to put a + symbol below the email fields, for example, and when they click it, another email address field shows up with a select box next to it.

Looks like a candidate for a SAAS platform. If you were to provide this service with a proper backend you could do whatever you wanted with the data and then some. As for adding additional fields that depends on what your backend looks like. I could point you towards a bunch of ruby on rails references for this but I don't know what you plan to use. --- You can cheat. Have 5 email (or whatever) fields in the source code and hide them with JS. Have a button that toggles their visibility. Don't do this with a DB.

Yeah, if I was going to do this I would probably offer it as a sinatra app with no database hosted in ~the cloud~, just let the company that has paid you for it log in and use that to set up the address the emails for that user go to. You can use something like prawn to very easily generate the PDFs.

I'm going to try to keep from using server-side stuff for a while, because I think people are going to want to download it for local use. But I could be totally wrong about that, and I'm not sure that will be viable in the (not-very-)long run, anyway.

samglover posted:Cheating is a great idea, actually. Just be aware that we're guessing at the maximum # of fields a user may need. Unless you go crazy and add 100 extra hidden fields (which is crazy) you may run into edge cases where someone wanted 6 email fields not 5. You would know what the realistic limits should be for that form, and make sure you notify people if they hit that limit (hide the + button or a flash message).
