(CSS) Stop CSS Opacity From Affecting Child Elements - jonhenshaw

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 07:35:45 UTC

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 - jonhenshaw

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 17:34:08 UTC

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 - jonhenshaw

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 16:20:35 UTC

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).

(CSS) CSS PNG Image Fix for IE - jonhenshaw

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 08:22:32 UTC

The selector portion of the CSS rule targets which XHTML tags/classes this rule will be applied to. At first glance, it looks like all img tags as well as all tags with a class of "png". Youâ€™ll notice the * html in front of both of these. Wait, there is no â€œanytagâ€ preceding the html tag, so this wonâ€™t get applied! True. For all non-crappy (that is a pro term by the way) browsers, this rule wonâ€™t get applied. However, since IE6 is a pile, it thinks that there is a tag before the html tag, so it will apply this rule. Great! Now IE6 is the only browser that will use this rule.

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:35:24 UTC

(Textpattern) Reverse the Default Page Title Order in Textpattern - jonhenshaw

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:30:47 UTC

Textpattern's default page title markup -- txp:page_title -- always places the site name in front of the individual page name. This is irritating, because I prefer to have the interior content title come before the site title itself -- it just makes more sense that way and it's a lot more search engine friendly. Use this code to replace txp:page_title on the page template to get the desired effect.
