The PII stuff is what's going to kill you. I know whenever we deal with PII we have to follow FISMA regulations pretty closely. Log security is absolutely nuts.

Granted, we're a government contractor, so our rules are a bit stricter than private sector folks, but if you can avoid logging any PII that would make your life a million times easier.

How frequently does this issue occur? Can you figure out commonalities based on the timing? Do you have analytics on any pages that are hitting that API?

The lack of response to my Velocity.js question makes me wonder: is anyone using Velocity.js? I just recently discovered it by way of this article. I haven't personally done any performance comparisons, but apparently it outperforms not only jQuery's .animate(), but also CSS animations. The performance section on this page is pretty convincing.

Looking for someone to take Tiny Sort* and another sorting script and apply it to my HTML and XML webpage to create a simple web spreadsheet with columns which you can sort by.

I thought I would be able to do this but it's proven a little above my skill level.

This is NOT homework.

I don't think it'll take that much work so I'm willing to give out a forums upgrade of your choice.

I'm pretty new to coding and have been working on my own sites/apps with pretty decent success - I've got other pages that have simple Javascript and jQuery scripts working fine, so I feel like I know juuuust enough to eventually see my own errors, but I can't work out why the hell this scroll function isn't working. I'm trying to make a div become fixed as I pass a certain point in scrolling on the page, so I only see the base of the div. I initially had the offset().top of a div contained in my header as the "freeze" point for the header, but as it wasn't working, I started simplifying downwards, simplifying variables... Everything is telling me this should work... but it isn't. This is the entire bit of script in my head section:

code:

<script type="text/javascript">

	var scrolling = function() {

		// if the top of the window is greater than the header position, then fix it
		if ($(window).scrollTop() > (header.offset().top - 510))
			{
				$('#header').addClass('.fixed');
			}
		else if ($(window).scrollTop() <= ($('#header').offset().top - 510)) 
			{
				$('#header').removeClass ('.fixed');
			}

	$(document).ready(scrolling);

</script>

And the relevant CSS:

code:

.fixed {
	position: fixed;
} /* code to reuse in several scrolls */

#header {
	color: #2a131b;
	height: 618px;
	z-index: 1000;
	background: url(../images/logo.gif) no-repeat;
	background-color: #fff;
	background-attachment: scroll;
	background-position: center;
}

#header .fixed {
	top: -510px;
}

I've got my CSS in an external file, if that changes anything. Also, I've defined fixed as its own class, because once this scrolling works, I've got a few elements further down that'll involve more complex scroll/freeze/etc patterns. What am I loving up?

2 - it's animating a layout property (left) rather than a layer property (transforms, opacity), so the CSS transitions have to trigger layout with every tick, further exacerbating the performance and sync problem with a CSS animation library.

Is your script executing before Jquery loads? What does your console say? If the above Jquery is being called before your jquery script declaration, that's probably a big source of your problem.

Whalley posted:

I had forgotten to close my function and have fixed up a couple of dumb console errors (including a variable I forgot to declare) but even after getting the console to return no dumb errors like that, I'm still at a loss.

Here's a jfiddle I made for it:

Your math is a little funky on when it should stick and unstick, but this seems to work. You had a couple of problems:

1. You hadn't included jQuery in the fiddle, therefore it wasn't working at all.

2. Your if statement was only getting called once, when the document ready fired. So if you scrolled down the page it wouldn't matter whether or not the conditions of the if statement were met because it wasn't getting fired anymore. Thus, I wrapped it in a function and called it on an interval. You could also do it on scroll, but that means you'll be firing the event potentially hundreds of times per second if the person is actively scrolling, which is dumb.

3. .addClass('className') not .addClass('.className').

Whalley posted:

First, thanks for reminding me I don't need to add in a . in addClass, I feel kinda dumb about that. Also, this is my first time using jsfiddle, I didn't realize I had to include libraries like that.

Secondly, while I've done something of a reshuffling of the stuff you suggested (your code wasn't letting the header scroll at all), now I've got a header that dances up and down the page every two seconds; the #header .fixed { top: -510px; } in my CSS isn't placing my header above the top of the page - I only want to display the bottom 108 pixels of my header after it becomes fixed, not the whole thing. I put in a check to see if the header has the class "fixed" and if it doesn't, only then should it check the top of the screen and run the code... why is it dancing? Is it because of the dumb fixed placement thing that's happening?. http://jsfiddle.net/sarsparillo/te76zwuq/12/

What's everyone's preferred method for optimizing images? I've been fiddling with Grunt's imagemin plugin and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I did notice however that with .pngs the resultant file isn't quite as small as when I use tinypng.com, and I don't see an option to adjust compression level (optimizationLevel doesn't seem to affect the end file size).

It would be more helpful to hear about how he is building those tables now, is he just using an html wysiwyg and saving static files?

bawfuls posted:

I believe so, yes. He does it all in a basic html text editor and uploads static files to update the site. Tables get copy/pasted from Excel somehow.

For reference, this is probably the biggest headache of a table on the site, when it comes to formatting.
