FF3 1 pixel background shift

2009-11-21T22:35:06Z

Several of my web sites have a background image centered on the page. Then I have a title image centered in an H2 tag over that. Everything was fine with IE and FF2. When FF3 came out, I'm noticing my title image is shifting 1 pixel to the right. Then has nothing to do the width of the browser (ie even or odd pixels wide). Here is one of the web sites in question: http://chiltonlogging.com/ Notice the whole title image is shifted to the right 1 pixel, making a 1 pixel strip on the left. Any ideas how to fix this?

Wife committing adultery

2009-11-21T05:41:06Z

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum, and would like to request prayer for the salvation of my wife, and the preservation of my family. We have been together 15 years and married for 11. We have two children, a 7 year old girl and 9 year old boy. In April of this year, my wife dropped a bomb on me by telling me she was in love with a married man at work, and no longer loved me. This was after she and I celebrated our 11th anniversary in Jamaica, and spent time strolling hand in hand on the beach talking about our future together. We lived upstairs/downstairs for four months while she tried to sort out her feelings. She continued seeing the other man throughout this time, and I was subject to telephone calls between them as they told each other they loved one another...it was too much for me. She moved out of our matrimonial home in August of this year, and continues the affair. We're sharing our children 50/50, and when I'm away from them my only solace is to turn to our Lord and pray continually for their return. Just today, my wife announced she plans to introduce the other man to my children and that he would "be playing a big part in their lives." He worships his own "internal God" and does not recognize the one true God...my wife was raised as a Catholic, but is not practicing and I believe she's turned her face away.

Please pray for both my wife and her lover...for her clarity, and for all possible barriers to be raised between her and him. She considers me to be sanctimonious and holier than thou because I'm taking this time to draw closer to God and bring my children with me...although I haven't preached to her, I have told her I'm praying for her and that God has a plan that does not include divorce or the destruction of two families (ours, and the other man's).

Thank you, and God bless all of you.

Your brother in Christ.

Looking for examples: fixed header

2009-11-21T01:53:03Z

I've been mocking up some ideas for a new design where I work, and one of the ideas was to have the masthead and main navigation be always fixed to the top of the window (similar to what I've done with the menu on my jQuery plugins site at http://jquery.kuzemchak.net/). The way I figure it, that will keep our logo, sign in/out links, and search (extremely important to our site) ever-present to the user.

Everyone I've shown this to thinks it would be a neat feature to implement, but I was asked to find some examples of other sites on the Web using something similar to this. So, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any good examples. I realize that most examples will probably be blogs, portfolios, etc. and while I am cool with that, those who requested this will probably want to see "bigger" sites. Personally, I say "why do we need a precedent? let's do something different!" If anyone can post some links if they find any examples, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks a bunch!

Intro video for church's theatrical production

2009-11-21T01:50:08Z

Our church, Gracepoint Fellowship Church, hosts a major theatrical production once every two years called "Gracepoint Live" (otherwise known as G-Live). This year's theme is titled, "Undo," as in, we are unable to undo the past.

The production itself was held on April 4th of this year, and while the DVD will eventually be pumped out by sometime late this year, our intro video is up online. Please let me know what you think!

Introduce Yourself

2009-11-21T01:42:58Z

Well, even though the rest of this site is still in development, I think this forum is pretty much functional. While I pretty much know everybody who's registered for the forum thus far, I realize that many of y'all might not know each other. So, feel free to post new topics, etc. even before the site's officially launched.

Update: In case it's not obvious, the site is now launched. Feel free to introduce yourself here!

Prayer Request

2009-11-19T16:56:06Z

Hi all. Haven't posted here in quite a while, mainly because our lives have been consumed with things beyond our control, esp stressing about escrow. Now that it's closed we've been thrown another huge curveball. I was concerned about our new condo being near power lines, so I bought a gauss meter to do some readings.

Good news is, it seems like our power lines are the low voltage kind and has little effect on the condo, BUT what I did not consider was that the main electrical panel is on the other side of our living room wall. If I get close enough the readings go off the charts. What's more, the master bedroom is on top of the living room as well, and I'm getting some hot zone readings there too. Needless to say, we're really stressed and depressed. After spending all this effort into buying a place we now feel uncomfortable living there -- even though the research about EMF effects are rather controversial. But I don't feel like I can afford to take that chance. I called to have an EMF specialist come by to consult, but even I don't know what will happen.

Worst case scenario, I might considering selling the place. Actually, I'm starting to lean towards that, because I can't imagine how I will feel safe in the place. Not only do I not feel safe there, the potential remodeling costs have shot through the roof, and that's pretty depressing as well. At least the good news is we haven't started any remodeling yet. And if we do sell, I don't know how I'm going to tell our parents. I don't know if they'll get mad.

Prayer for wisdom and guidance much appreciated.

Renewed Prayer Request

2009-11-17T22:50:55Z

Since last I posted about my wife, much has happened. She completed her final chemo treatment on the 13th of October and then began arrangements to begin radiation. We were told she would have 35 treatments over the course of 7-1/2 weeks, finishing up near the end of December. 3 days before her marker appointment, she started experiencing a pain in her back that was reminiscent of her breast tumor pain. She mentioned this pain at her marker appointment and, because she was having a PET scan done the next day, her marker appointment was rescheduled for 2 days after that. On that day we learned that her breast cancer had spread to both lungs, had been present before her chemo had started and was incurable. 5 days later the oncologist told us the cancer will spread to other parts of the body and with successful treatment she could expect 1-2 years of survival, without success only months. With my job going away at the end of December, we are in dire straights.

We know that all of this is in God's hand and His plan for us is in motion. We don't know what that plan is or what other challenges are coming, but my wife will be going home in the not too distant future.

Please pray that our faith holds and that we remain vertical in our focus, that my waves of depression subside, and that she and I can make the best of the time we have left together.

Fatherhood

2009-11-17T12:33:08Z

I have recently become a daddy, my son is 6 weeks old now and things are getting so much harder. My wife is overly worried about our finances and she has a right to be. We can't say we live from paycheck to paycheck, because she hasn't been working for over a month because so many people have been sick, and I am a freelance designer, struggling to find work, and find time to make sure I am passing my classes. My grades are dropping, and my faith is always running on low, and I always feel like I fill the tank just enough to go on for a few more days, or a week or so.

It's been a struggling balancing my life as a husband, father, designer, and christian. I need some prayer, and definitely some wisdom. Life has been stressful, really stressful, and we are hanging on by a thread as it feels like.

JavaScript Calculator - Comma problems

2009-11-14T14:47:57Z

I've got a simple JavaScript calculator that's causing some problems.

It works great when I don't use commas, but when a comma is added the calculating breaks. Also, it would be great to automatically add commas to the end result number.

The calculator can be found here: http://www.canyoncreekonline.com/amazin … alculator/

Prayer to Overcome Cancer

2009-11-13T16:08:50Z

A friend of mine recently told me that her husband was diagnosed with cancer. Without getting into specifics (respecting their privacy) she did say it would be okay to post here, and ask for prayer. So, please pray for them, as they go through this difficult time. Also, pray for healing, be it miraculous or through skilled physicians, that he may be cancer-free.

Honest opinions required

2009-11-10T11:58:47Z

Hi there

I've been working on our new church website design for a long time now and my eyes are starting to bleed with disappointment. I would appreciate it if someone could have a look and give me an honest opinion even though it isn't quite ready i.e this is the only page!

Meant to be launching in a couple of weeks and I'm getting cold feet on the design as to me it seems to be lacking something to make it special (it looks a little old fashioned to my eyes)

Multiple EE Calendars on one page?

2009-11-10T02:02:54Z

I am total EE noob and I was following along with Boyink's amazing tutorial over on http://www.train-ee.com/ but I have run into a small problem. The calendar in boyink's tutorial uses only one large calendar then you cycle back and forth from month to month. On the website I am working on they want two calendars side by side, the current month and the next month. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

Thanks for your help - Zane
