[QUOTE=H4Z3Y;33236445]Metro is a UI framework, and it looks beautiful ([url=http://www.metrotwit.com/]Metrotwit anyone[/url]); the biggest issue windows is facing when compared to OSX is that OSX actually has a UI standard, which allows people to make pretty, consistent applications. On windows no such standards exist (I think the most recent one is from the XP days) and as a result there's inconsistencies everywhere. Metro is Microsoft trying their damn well best to fix the issue, and I'm all for it.[/QUOTE]
Very well said :)

Today I'm going to try to clean up the code and actually use the MVC instead of putting all the elements into the model file instead of views.
New layout that makes sense. Top navigation bars suck.

Nah, I plan on having social links in that area. Thanks for suggestion though.

Any suggestions are welcome.
Made a 5 minute login system using jQuery, if it succeeds it ajaxes in the page so the user doesn't have to refresh/change pages even once. Good/bad idea?

Should be fine if you add a fallback for browsers with JS disabled.
[QUOTE=RusselG;33255589]Should be fine if you add a fallback for browsers with JS disabled.[/QUOTE]
I'm not really caring for browsers with js disabled, as my site will have heavy use of javascript.
[editline]13th November 2011[/editline]
I mean it will have a warning, but not give any respect to them. :v:
It's a good idea (and a good educational experience!) to make at least the barest of features work without Javascript.
Hint: $("a").click(function() { someKindOfAjaxFunction(this.attr("href")); });
forgot if jquery event functions use this as the element or the jquery wrapper of that element; also not sure this is totally a good idea (you'd at the very least want to filter it to only do that if the link refers to your site, but I'm just in general not sure if this is totally a good idea. Implemented properly it'll degrade gracefully to just sending you to the page; you could add an additional GET parameter to your forum page or somesuch to grab the posts as JSON or XML instead of the full HTML and use that in the ajax, etc etc etc etc)

"javascript security" is an oxymoron by itself, but I think he was talking about a login system using jQuery on the side...I hope.
You can use jquery to send and retrieve data from an external php page, I take that's what you did?

wouldn't it be
[code]$("a").click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); someKindOfAjaxFunction(this.attr("href")); });[/code]

Yeah
And its just a hardcoded password, plus I'm pretty picky about security so I won't leave any (obvious) security holes. If they manage to steal my password they deserve it.

It seems it won't work on chrome.. How does jquery break so easily :v:

Apparently when I store the variable as "status" chrome overwrites it just as fast for some reason. Oh well

Working on [URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6613888/derivative/index.html"]this[/URL], it is a proof of concept for something I drew up in Photoshop.
Everything is looking good, apart from when you click on "Page 1 / Page 2 / Page 3" they scroll along too. I'll correct that when I get more time.
[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;33262189]You shouldn't use such obvious words as variables. You're easily going to hit variables used by the environment.[/QUOTE]
Uh yes you should use obvious words for variables. Especially if its localized. I localized status so it shouldn't have any effect on window.status
Small update. I might join the navigation and footer together at the bottom.
The navigation links and search box will be fixed to the window so they are always in view.

It looks like the page in docking with the navigation actually. I'll post a pic later.
No problem, I just had a double-take when I noticed it.

"Color Psychology and Online Marketing"

Trying to make this:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5PhBe.png[/IMG]
I tried editing Galleria, but because I suck at javascript I couldn't do it, so if anyone can make this for me they get 50 $.
The more button is supposed to open a lightbox with simple left right controls featuring all images, while that thing should only show 6.
I don't think I've received much CC for the site I'm working on.

More padding in the box to the right of the photo, separate the photo and the comments section with more space and make it obvious that you're looking at a comment section and not just random text, and add padding to the navigation bar on the bottom where you select which page of the album you want to see. Also put that navigation bar right under the image, else it'll get pushed way down the page by comments (Unless it's just there for sifting through comments, in which case nevermind)
I like it a lot
