Three boxes, two roll over, one falls out

So this is an article to note an oddity when I was working with a Yootheme template called "yoo_sync". Some clever scripts (both mootools and jquery) using the equalize method to make div layers the same height, and in this case, the same width. It isn't so much a miscalculation of 100% divided by 3 that leaves 1 pixel...

Slideshow div layer through a window

This article is a quick note to myself on the idea of a slideshow with the MooTools javascript framework. Basically, I want to create a div layer that I can see through (like a window with no glass) and for all the flashy stuff, to only appear within the boundary of the parent div layer.

Our Purpose

This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
