Issue: I have problems with this page: http://kivusandcamera.com/blog/ The page loads with a proper layout, but then the two blog entries "jump" to the left behind the navigation bar. I have spent a good bit of time trying work through the various CSS, inspecting it with developer tools, etc..., but I have reached a point where I feel like I need some help. Any advice would be appreciated.
Background: This is just a basic Wordpress theme that I am trying to customize for a website, so I am not 100% sure how
Additional Information: Though I am passingly familiar with CSS, I have done hardly any work involving responsive design, media queries, etc... Basically, I am saying (1) I would not be surprised if it is something really simple that I am missing, and (2) if something could be done a better way, please feel free to let me know.
UPDATE - It looks like this issue might be Javascript or JQuery related. Basically, a style attribute is getting injected into one of the div tags. The style attribute used an absolute position, with a certain width, and I have no idea how to modify it.
UPDATE #2 - It appears the issue happens with any pages I set in the theme to "Full Width" (see also the http://kivusandcamera.com/about page.) I think those pages must get processed differently by JS layout framework that is used. Again, I still haven't figured out how that is all happening.
Turns out there were two separate issues:
(1) The JQuery auto-layout framework was resizing the various page columns with the assumption that the navigation bar was the same size as the individual columns of blog entries. That caused an issue that had to be solved.
(2) The full page CSS had to be updated to reflect the lack of a resizing navigation bar.
Ultimately, these issues were very specific to the this particular Wordpress theme, so I doubt full description of the solution would provide much of a benefit to the community. Thank you to everyone who helped lead me to the solution.

Sorry, if there's not enough detail in this initial post, my web-development skills are relatively limited, so I'm working with a web developer, if you need any extra information though, it shouldn't be a problem getting hold of it, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Our site is using sections as opposed to pages, and the problem we're having is getting the content to centre vertically in each section. Obviously this has to be dynamic based on the user's resolution:
http://demo.ekarsh.com/crimsonnight/assets/js/KamiDrop_v1.8/index.html.
The site is built using a combination of HTML5 and Javascript.
Once again, any advice would be appreciated as the site's not really usable until this has been fixed! Thanks :)
Without any code it's hard to help but I would take a look at something like: http://zerosixthree.se/vertical-align-anything-with-just-3-lines-of-css/
You will probably have some other problems when the content is taller than the browser size but with some media queries, and possibly some JavaScript, this can be solves as well.
Good luck!
I would like to ask if there are any examples related to Polymer's animated pages ( http://www.polymer-project.org/docs/elements/core-elements.html#core-animated-pages ) and how we can build a similar demo using the resources provided in the Angular/material repo (https://github.com/angular/material).
I would like to achieve http://www.polymer-project.org/components/core-animated-pages/demos/music.html but I don't want to use Polymer since I would like to use Angular.
Can you please provide me some directions in order to start?
What they typically do with Polymer is have two connected elements which shows only one and when you perform some action, the other gets shown (from display: none) and animates from certain dimentions to its final form. Sometimes elements also shift but it depends on whether the content is able to move to its new position or not.
You have to work with css transition, transform and display. Sometimes even custom animations. And you are mostly changing multiple divs to their final form. I think the most difficult would be animating colors (from white to pink or from yellow to green for example) as those are most difficult to do (performance-wise).
If you look at the example you've set (final link) you see there's a list of items with a detail div and once you click the item you show the detail and transform the contents to its final dimentions.
Just know that these things are pretty hard if you aren't very much into Angular or HTML/CSS/Javascript.
The framework of Polymer for Web is very much a work in progress and i wouldn't be surprised if it took a few months to get similar results for both native and web.
You can take example from things like this: https://medium.com/tictail-makers/giving-animations-life-8b20165224c5 or https://www.polymer-project.org/apps/topeka/ or http://codepen.io/collection/amheq/ . And don't forget to speed it up by using some bootstrap theme like this http://fezvrasta.github.io/bootstrap-material-design/ or something.
I've been struggling with the same problem as there isn't much to go from right now. You stated the Angular project but that will take time. If you want to do it now, you have to do quite some work (if you do, share it with us), but you might be better of with postponing this until most of the bugs and problems have been solved.
Thats what i'm doing now.
I find my problem a little bit difficult to ask about, because I don't know how to explain it or how to even start searching for an answer. I will try here because I'm really stuck and I know Stack Overflow always helps me find a way to keep going and learning. See if someone can open my eyes.
What I'm looking forward to is to achieve a similar effect as the navigation in uzik's page: (see the grey banner at the bottom? well, that). So, yes, I know how to overlap two divs and just slide one or the other on top using jQuery. In fact, there's this demo that shows how to do that and more beautifully (very interesting link to keep ;) ).
But my problem is something else. Notice that when you click on the slider that will overlap the main content, the url changes. That's what I would like to achieve and I don't know if both divs (main content and overlapping content) are on the same page and the url is being changed using some js; or if the overlapping div is, in fact loaded from an external source.
In my case, I would like to load from an external page. Say, for instance, someurl.com and someurl.com/blog. The aim is, having both preloaded (I guess) to slide one on top of the other.
Is this even possible? I would like to think it is. I can follow js and jQuery instructions more or less, but need some guidance as to where to start off searching info, specifically on the loading content from some other url part.
Any tip is appreciated.
Kind regards, Bea.
It looks like my problems never end with this site. I'm using jQuery to pull posts tagged "_featured" into the sidebar on a Tumblr blog. I have it calling the title of the text post along with the image included in it. Unfortunately, no matter what I try, this breaks the equal height columns on any page where the content column isn't longer than the sidebars.
I've tried different methods of achieving equal columns (I'm currently using The Equal Heights jQuery Plugin since I'm already using jQuery on the site. I've also tried the padding/negative margin trick and good ol' Faux Equal Columns using a background image. I figured it would be easy to solve it by using the jQuery plugin and wrapping the function call in a $(window).load(function(), but it's still hit or miss (mostly miss right now for some reason).
If anyone has any suggestions, please, save my computer from being thrown. The obvious solution that I'm thinking might work would be to have the JS calling the featured posts to also include the image size, but I'm not sure how I would do that.
The JS calling the featured posts can be viewed here and the site itself is at escapebadmusic.com.
Thanks again, everyone. I think I say this just about every time I post a question, but the help here has saved me a lot of time and frustration. It's always appreciated.
Try running EqualHeights after dom has finished changing.
(to be more specific - you should run EqualHeights after doc.ready, and after you add your image, or changed anything in the dom that affects heights)

I'm wondering how the top navigation was programmed, From the source code I see javascript but I am hoping someone could recommend a resource / tutorial in learning how they built both the top navigation and the siding feature.
Many thanks.
You should investigate Path.js ( https://github.com/mtrpcic/pathjs ) as the url's suggest they are using it.
I doubt anyone has written a tutorial on how Denny's made a website.
But through some playing in the console, I found they use jQuery, which comes with many effects. To bring the navigation down, they probably use something like..
$('#navigation-button').mouseenter(function () {
$('#navigation').slideDown();
});
I have something similar set up here.
Don't use any of that code directly. It's just quickly written garbage. It'd need quite a bit of tweeking for production.
It's easy with javascript/jquery. Create a main div with fixed witdh where you put all your pages (menu, home, etc) and overflow:hidden. Then, with jquery's plugin Animate slide the position of the div's content.
Search for jquery controls. There are several available on the net free of charge which help you get this functionality.
