On the subject of emails... I don't work on them at my job (actually a deliberate stipulation for me to take the job), but it seems like it has a new design for every email. Is this unusual and causing the poor soul coding the emails more work than there really should be?

All this talk about HTML emails... Don't most clients block images and remote content by default anyway? So your nice designs just end up being a gross mess for most people? e: vvv All images are usually blocked by default, including attachments. Meaning they will appear in the list of attachments but not inline unless the user explicitly loads them. ee: I guess the discussion is pointless, sorry. HTML emails must get a high enough click-through rate for most business to be wroth the cost or they wouldn't bother sending them. Which means enough people manually load them or are on clients where it's not blocked by default. Xik fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Apr 12, 2014 |

Gmail loads images on email by default now, and a lot of people use gmail. However, it is worth mentioning that every email that uses images technically has none until they load, and there's some really clever stuff you can do with that: http://www.emaildesignreview.com/email-design-best-practice/images-off-mcdonalds-leads-the-way-1738/

"I want vertical spacing in bootstrap!" "We need to have it done right and standardized." Would invisi-divs or margin-bottom be a better idea?

2banks1swap.avi posted:"I want vertical spacing in bootstrap!" "It depends" Invisi-divs is most definitely the wrong way to do it, but the right way will depend on what you mean by 'vertical spacing'. Do you mean a vertical typographic rhythm, or "I need to have block A have some space under it so block B isn't touching it"?

Block A -> Block B touching, basically. I'm just going to go with some classes to specify some margin-bottom. Since this is bootstrap, would it be a good idea to define them as percentages/fractions of the gutter size?

I'm getting some reports that Android users are having to re-authenticate for my app too frequently. The app relies on Google OpenID but after Google tells us who you are we create a 6 month cookie for your session. I've never used an Android phone before, but is there anything that users might be doing that would cause that session to go away before the 6 months is up?

I tried to do something similar a year or so ago -- use print styles to typeset my resume. Browser differences aside, I never really could figure out how the CSS mapped to the whatever the browser eventually tried to print. It's not bad for general printing, but I couldn't figure out how to exert the level of control I was used to. If you figure it out, please share.

I've used jspdf for trucking load sheets and it's worked well, without any issues: http://parall.ax/products/jspdf Never tried to print labels but because it's creating a pdf via data-uri you shouldn't have any issues with default styles overriding measurements or anything like that.

Anybody upgrade their Google Analytics to "Universal Analytics" yet? It says "Select an account and a property, then click Universal Analytics Upgrade" but there's no option to do that after I select the property, even though I have the appropriate "edit permission". I don't think I'm already using it since I don't see the "User ID" feature in the Tracking Info section.

For the Mac users in the thread Sketch 3 is out and I really like it. It's a huge update from sketch 2, anyone who needs a relatively cheap Illustrator / Photoshop alternative should try the demo. http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch/ It's on sale for $50.00 until April 21st in the app store too.

No I just tried. I assume you meant selecting one character in a word / paragraph? Symbols are a thing, which seems to be the big selling point. I'm somewhat disappointed I can't share symbols between documents though. Also, quote:If you purchased Sketch 2 on the Mac App Store after March 1st, 2014, you will receive Sketch 3 for free. In order to claim your license key, please email us your Mac App Store receipt and we’ll sort out the rest. Due to the limited quantity of promo codes we have available, we regret that we cannot provide you with an App Store version of Sketch 3 in return, but a serial key that you can apply to our trial to remove any limitation.

In every other graphics / page layout app I've ever used on the Mac (going back probably before half of you were born) if you put the text cursor between two letters and held down option, you could kern with the arrow keys. It's not a huge deal, but makes a pain in the rear end for doing art that will be exported for print.

I have a simple website and would like to add some simple purchasing options with inventory management. Am I better off using paypal's built in inventory management or something like woocommerce? I can write some basic html, but have no experience with wordpress. Prefer not to purchase anything to do this, especially recurring cost options like bigcartel. How easy is woocommerce and a wordpress theme for someone that has no experience with it?

WooCommerce is pretty straight forward and easy to use. If you're going down the 'as cheap as possible' route they offer a few free themes here, although you should be able to integrate it into w/e theme you want. The only time it gets complicated is if (a) you have a complicated product (weird quantities, too many variations, etc) or (b) you need one of the addons for shipping, inventory management, store locators, etc... I hate it when they nickel and dime you for those addons.

Am I better off using paypal's built in inventory management or something like woocommerce? It really depends on what you mean by basic html. woocommerce and Wordpress are both fairly straight forward if you have some understanding of html, css and php. I recommend checking out tutorials on w3schools. Its really comprehensive and once you get the basic syntax of these languages, it won't be hard to transition into other opensource solutions like Drupal and Drupal Commerce. I'm currently working on a Drupal Commerce site and it is extremely powerful. The languages aren't tough if you've got the patience for them. Basic html probably is not going to be enough to skirt the commercial products.

Hello! I'm looking for JQuery help, particularly with JCarousel implementation (http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/docs/cookbook/responsive-carousel.html). I'm such a newbie at jQuery that I'm having a hard time navigating all the variables involved in making this work. It may be quite complicated -- I'm trying to make a full-screen, responsive JCarousel that is navigable via clicking the left or right side of the displayed image, with a fixed header and fixed footer containing links to other information. But, I'm willing to learn for however long someone is patient enough to answer my questions, and even if the end result isn't everything I'm demanding, I really appreciate the help, just in understanding what's going on, for my own sake. I have a wireframe layout I can email to further illustrate what I'm trying to do, plus the code I was trying to frankenstein together without fully understanding it, and a live website with a hilariously not-working JCarousel. Please shoot me a line at GreatJobSA@gmail.com. Thank you!

How about this? http://jsfiddle.net/m97s7/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_animated_properties tells me: "font-weight: yes, as a font weight" so I tried both font-weight: normal etc. and font-weight: 100 etc. Neither seem to work.

Dirty Frank posted:FFS, thanks Alligator. Chrome seems to ignore font-weight, while Firefox just jumps from normal to bold in an animation. This was probably a decision on the browser developers's part, since browsers don't really have any good "mid-bold" rendering at the moment, so it's just going to be an abrupt jump between font weights. Something with text-shadow might get a similar effect, but for now, there's really not much that can be done. Webkit browsers have text-stroke, so you might want to try that out as an alternative.

obstipator posted:Chrome seems to ignore font-weight, while Firefox just jumps from normal to bold in an animation. The problem is likely due to the fact that that font simply does not have that many weights. Firefox traditionally is quite happy to create hideous faux bold styles (though iirc it has two settings for fonts without actual bold glyphs: normal or bold), but Chrome does not to the same extent. Either way, I doubt any browser will be able to make a smooth transition between all those weights even if they did exist.

Is there a name for the "make a container fill the whole height of a screen" thing? Like when a site header fills the whole screen and then the next section comes into view as soon as you start scrolling. eg: https://ghost.org/ I've been doing it with jQuery like this, but wondered if there was a more standard approach: code: ).

I dunno if there's a name for it but they're just using min-height: 100% and background-size: cover to achieve it.
