vCards and hCards

marlyse — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:53:45 +0000

For a while I was battling to get hCards working, meaning not only styled correctly, but that they could be downloaded and translated into a vCard in the process. The usual problem would be an “no hCard” error. Once I finally understood the reasoning behind that, I still ran across the problem of an incomplete [...]

By default, older versions of Safari will not apply even the most basic CSS styles to <input type=”search”> fields. If you want to force Safari to treat your search field like a normal text field (so you can apply your own CSS styles), add this rule to your stylesheet: input[type="search"] { -webkit-appearance: textfield; } Thanks to [...]

A lot of people seem to have problems with iPhoto suddenly being unable to read JPG files. A lot of suggestions floating around, from checking sRGB declaration and permissions and corrupted iPhoto or disk and whatnot. Here, the culprit is the iPhone. Doing a HARD RESET fixes the problem (in many cases). To do so: [...]

While working on my latest theme I suddenly noticed that the PAGE TEMPLATE selection dropdown menu had disappeared on me. This in WordPress 3.0.4 – first time this happens you’ll scratch your head wondering if you went daft. But no.

Do NOT comment in PHP with a // double slash if you are using the closing tag on the same line, instead use the /**/ type of commenting. I am amazed of how many people do that, forgetting that anything after the // will be considered part of the comment and thus nullifying the closing [...]

Remember the times as a child when the game on long travels was to either call the state plate of a car correctly or it’s make and model? I feel just the same while following the Tuts+ screen cast tutorial on jQueryMobile: “Look at all these icons at the bottom of the screen in his [...]

Nice and clean solution from Dalton Rooney to get your sub-menu list items hidden if the parent item is not clicked: .widget_nav_menu ul.sub-menu { display: none; } .widget_nav_menu .current_page_parent ul.sub-menu { display: block; } .widget_nav_menu .current_page_ancestor ul.sub-menu { display: block; } .widget_nav_menu li.current-menu-item ul.sub-menu { display: block; } .widget_nav_menu ul.sub-menu li.current-menu-item ul.sub-menu { display: block; [...]
