A "return false" could prevent this. 

But in your case, you specifically tells browser to go top:

...images/pdc-brochure-low-res.pdf" target="_top"

Apart from the target="_top". We don't do nested anchor links.
 

You may want to clean up your codes, and perhaps pick up a habit switching 
between view source and visual mode when work in Dreamweaver.

It does. With limitations though - you just can't do anything too fancy. I 
actually tested the phone briefly when visited a client who owns a Mobile 
Phones and accessories store and is a reseller of a few known Carriers, I just 
wouldn't dare ask my client do a browser check for me :-)

A heads-up for media queries fans, it does not support Media Queries. You can 
use   though.

Hi Fellow Web Master Friends,

I'm creating a web page and need help with Named Anchor Links.

Problem: when clicking on a roll over that is linked to another a

   In Firefox 3.6.13 on Linux it goes directly to the anchor.

   See other problems:

the each of the four tabs: Diode Dose Multisensors, Ion Chamber Dose

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Browsers Defaults
on where you land on a page when clicking on the links?

Your feedback and help is appreciated.

tried the emulator here (on a windows laptop) a few weeks ago and
javascript doesn't seem to work in it.

Does javascript work at all on a real windows 7 mobile browser?

Re: [WSG] Lightbox++ and mobiles etc

2011-01-18 Thread Joseph Taylor 
If you're using a lightbox you must have some javascript in there 
somewhere so:


You can use javascript to detect your viewport size and only fire your 
lightboxes if it's of a certain size.

Try it the other way around: lay it out in mobile first?

Re: [WSG] To or not to here is the question!!!

2011-01-18 Thread dionisis karampinis 
IE8 uses 102% CPU resources and the site srcolls relatively slow! The
problem is with 'having a scroller or not' in general and the inefficiency
of  is that is being used for presentation and not content
structure! Thanks for your reply Antony, but as 45% of my target users will
use IE i need something extra lightweight!!! Found this
http://www.talkincode.com/examples/javascript-marquee/horizontal-scroll.html,
which looks pretty clean and fast... any proposals much appreciated
folks Thanks a lot!!!

[WSG] To or not to here is the question!!!

2011-01-18 Thread dionisis karampinis 
Greetings to everyone,

I prepare a web project (wordpress), where my boss desires a horizontal news
ticker scrolling from left to right at the top of my header!!! It is
something i would not propose to anyone to do, but unfortunately i have to
do it..

Initially i used the li scroller from
http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html,
which is extremely slow and uses huge CPU resources, especially when
using
it with IE8, but almost the same thing happens with Firefox, Safari, Chrome
and Opera... I cant figure out if this a .js problem or something to do with
wordpress loop (as this is a custom loop which creates an unordered lists of
some particular posts).

At the same time  seems to do the job, extremely fast and without
'eating' my CPU's resources!!! I know that the particular html tag is a big
NO NO these days and a not semantic element whatsoever...

The situation is really tough as i need good performance and at the same
time, to only use semantic elements in my code!!!

If anyone has been through these problems before or knows anything about it
i would really appreciate it!!!

Best regards and many thanks to everyone!!! Have a good day.

have a problem since I've made the structure elastic and the grid shrinks to 6

on the small screen and I wondered if anyone has solved the problem of how to 
stop the lightbox working on small screens? Media queries? 

All suggestions welcome.

Many thanks,

  Try it the other way around: lay it out in mobile first?
  @media only screen and (max-width:480px),only screen and 
(max-device-width:480px) {...}

http://chelseacreekstudio.com/fa/Thanks David,I've done that, no problem. But 
for 'normal folk on larger screens' I want the lightbox to show the larger 
images. I don't want two sites . . .??Bob
