(CSS) Stop CSS Opacity From Affecting Child Elements

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 07:35:45 GMT

By default, applying opacity to an HTML element will make all of it's child elements (the content inside of the object) to also get the opacity style applied to it. Here's a clever example of how to override that rendering output in browsers. The solution is to create a wrapper and apply absolute positioning to a child element of the wrapper.

(Bash) Howto Convert Filenames to All Lowercase

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 17:34:08 GMT

Line 6 starts a loop (which ends with line 15). The ls command returns a list of filenames which are sequentially assigned to the shell variable x. The if test (lines 8 through 10) checks to see if the current filename is that of a plain file. If not, the remainder of the statements in the current loop iteration are skipped. If line 11 is to be executed we know that we have an ordinary file. Using tr we convert the filename to lowercase and assign the new name to the shell variable lc. Line 12 then checks to see if the lowercase version of the name differs from the original. If it does, line 13 is executed to change the name of the original file to the new lowercase name. The -i option causes the mv to prompt for confirmation if executing the command would overwrite an existing filename. __________________________

(Django) Template Query Debug

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 16:20:35 GMT

I often find something like this lurking at the end of my base templates - it'll show you which queries were run while generating the current page, but they'll start out hidden so as not to be a pain. Of course, before this works, you'll need to satisfy all the criteria for getting debug information in your template context: 1. Have 'django.core.context_processors.debug' in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting (it was there in the default settings, last time I checked). 2. Have your current IP in your INTERNAL_IPS setting. 3. Use RequestContext when rendering the current template (if you're using a generic view, you're already using RequestContext).
