Sites with our javascript & ajax going live

Short version Just a few links to sites powered by our javascript and ajax

When we started offering javascript and ajax programming few months ago, we had no idea that it’s going to be this big. At first, there were just fancy menus and popups… then scrolling divs and animations… and now, we are getting more and more orders for full javascript/ajax applications.

Here are some of them that succesfully went live:

New showcase and return of WordPress themes

Short version We’ve updated our showcase with some sites and lot of effects, and we’re offering WordPress theme coding again

The outsourcing nature of our work keeps us from displaying most of it in our showcase, since most our clients are the designers who wants their design in their own portfolio.

However, that doesn’t mean we can’t make our showcase look good. So, check it out, NOW!

How to fix 1px background centering error in Firefox using jQuery

Short version If you already have jQuery included, fixing 1px background centering error in Firefox is easy – just detect Firefox and change background’s horizontal position to 49.99% while leaving 50% in all other browsers

Although i’ts nice to blame every coding problem on IE, Firefox has its share of bugs too. One of those is 1px background centering offset. It goes like this: when you try to match centered body background with the background of your centered div, you get 1px offset whenever the browser window pixel width is odd. For even width, background centers ok.

There is no way around it in css (some tutorials say that you just need to add 100% height to the body, but that doesn’t work) but there is a simple solution using jQuery (or any other library which lets you change the css property of an element). Agreed, including jQuery just to fix this is an overkill, but chances are, you already use it for something else in your page. Read the whole thing

Photoshop stuck with cursor hand – blame lifehacker’s Texter app

Short version If you’re stuck with hand cursor in Photoshop or any other program, just uninstall Texter or any similar application you installed.

A few days ago when I opened my Corel Paint Shop Pro to edit some small image, I was shocked to see my cursor is stuck on hand, and nothing I tried could change it to normal. Everything was blocked and I couldn’t do anything. I said – well, whatever, I’m in a hurry, I’ll do it in Photoshop.

No luck. Photoshop’s cursor was stuck on hand too. Read the whole thing
