i spent entirely too long on lj. i was comfortable enough over there, inertia and laziness keeping me from bothering with switching to any new internets word type service, but over the last couple weeks their ad nonsense has been fucking my browser over, and making their pages take upwards of a minute each to load.
i don't remember the last time there was anything on lj that was worth waiting for a minute of loading time to read.
so, here we are.
fucking arcane web dev. nonsense for the week:
if, in the fullness of time, you get ambitious and decide to have a nice css dropdown menu on your site, and that menu is directly above a omg kickass flash anim or movie, you may find that the menu is going to be a bastard and drop down behind the flash movie.
the fix for this is as follows: toss these wmode values into the batch of embed tags for the flash object. <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="includes/flash-movie.swf" wmode="transparent" ....
wmode is not recognized by dreamweaver, so it's not going to help you with this one, but these will get the menu to behave and the movie to still play.
dude, you don't remember that one time that ian bitched on his lj about like everything ever? you can't tell me that wasn't worth waiting forever for
ReplyDeleteyeah, that was almost as good as when he called me a fag every time i talked to him.
ReplyDeletei should seriously reconsider this whole deal.
