    Overriding browser styles with forms

    The best way to handle customized select boxes is by replacing the select with a custom setup. With a little JS and CSS, you can turn an unordered list or definition list into a select-style box.

    Linux advice

    I go back and forth between Windows and Ubuntu. Sublime Text 3 is definitely a good IDE. It's my go-to. Since you're on Linux, take some time to familiarize yourself with the command line. When you've done that, start using GruntJS or GulpJS to speed up your workflow. This can be done on...

    How do I save code in a database and have it spit it back out without changing it?

    Assuming you're using PHP, give this a look: http://php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php

    contact form action php

    You've added your action URL to the name attribute. Change name to action and see if that doesn't fix it.

    Web designer question

    You could probably find someone with intermediate experience who'd work with you for that price. Time-wise, if they're reasonably capable with Wordpress already, and they're creating custom themes from scratch, you're looking at a good 40+ hours and that doesn't include content or things like...

    Maybe I missed it, but what exactly are you wanting to build?

    TUTORIAL: Using Floats (Floating Divs)

    The idea is to use inline-block in place of floats. Because inline-block takes up height and width as defined, like a block element, but not the entire line, as in inline, the nav elements (assuming that's what you're talking about) will sit next to one another. I've found that the project...

    Calc() is a great css property!

    I've been using calc quite a bit the last several projects. Browser support is pretty deep too. I use border-box for everything, but it doesn't include margins, so calc helps clean that up as well.

    Anyone willing to help me learn?

    That's true, but it never hurts to have something to drive toward. Darcey, the big thing here is that you have a long way to go before you'll be ready to build something like this. I've been at this for a long time now, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to go that deep. That isn't to say you...

    css/jquery responsive effect

    If I understand your question correctly, what you'll want to do is use percentage distances as opposed to pixel-based ones. That, or use JS to calculate the distance before the animation fires. Give a more specific example, and I can help you a little better.

    Responsive css help please

    I wrote about this a few months back: http://ronaldroe.com/solving-common-design-problems-using-css-calc/ The 4th use case is the one you're needing.

    Video Without Youtube?

    I'm going close this thread, not because anything wrong has been done to this point, but because I think it's fair to say that any helpful answer provided will essentially be aiding illegal activity.

    Any idea what is the best or common WP naked them for 2014 ?

    I was being sarcastic, and pointing out that the best starter theme is none at all. I use separate header, footer, sidebar, etc., files, as well as a functions file. I just start them from scratch with the HTML you see there.

    Best hosting for sm business in $20-50 range per month.

    Sorry for the delay on that delete. 2 jobs plus going to school is a bit of a time suck. Don't think I've ever seen someone copy/paste an answer from another thread on the same forum...

    Oop

    Funny. That's the exact opposite of me. I "cut my teeth" with jQuery, which I used as a leg up into JS. jQuery is just a big JS object with a bunch of methods. "$" is the reference to the object. The selector in the parenthesis is just an argument passed. The .whatever is a method inside the...

    Oop

    Lynda does have some good tutorials. OOP is a funny thing, though. Some people can learn it no problem. Most people struggle with it until it just jumps up and clubs them in the head. Others just can't get it. I'm in a Java class right now. Thankfully, I had the advantage of going in...
