I have an interesting problem.
I was making the solar system for fun, which can be seen here:
http://jessemorgan.me/solar-system/
Everything is working fine until I add Saturn, or anything after Jupiter. When I do that, all background images disappear, however are still being loaded successfully. Then out of curiosity, I added Neptune as well and Saturn's border then wasn't visible.
After debugging, I found that if I lowered the width/height of Saturn's orbit significantly, everything became visible again. That, for obvious reasons isn't a solution though.
It's all pure css/html. I only added jquery for zooming and popups. So hopefully, the solution will be a rather easy one. I'm just not seeing it.
Saturn and Neptune have been commented out, but all of the code remains.
Does anyone know why it's going all wacky?
Just a note and I will expand later... have you run it without Javascript? One of the parameters in your JS code could be funky, which would mess with how far you're "zoomed" in, when you really aren't--essentially cutting off parts of the solar system.

I've been browsing Dribbble this morning and found this nice UI design for a dating app, see screenshot below:
Now, this is an ever growing trend in design and it does look fantastic, but realistically is it possible to code an element that has a horizontal/diagonal gradient and fades out vertically?
If I were to do this I would probably do it using only CSS, which is fine for the colour gradient, but is there a way to also fade the element out vertically. The only other way I can imagine doing this is to generate the gradient as an image on the fly using server side code but I'd imagine that would use a lot of server resources to regenerate on the fly.
Info on other ways of doing it would be great, I've tried a couple of ideas but nothing has actually worked yet.

I have recently taken control of a large website. My problem is that sometimes, on some browsers/ computers, when you navigate between pages (or hit refresh) the entire content loads slightly to the right, then half a second later, jumps back to the left where it should be. The distance is only around 5mm, over the course of a second, but it is noticeable.
Things that are useful to know:
It is a wordpress site, but has only basic functions- The menu contains jQuery but there's little other javascript to prevent loading.
All content is wrapped within a container that is centred using
{margin: 0 auto;}
There are several CSS style sheets, and some major tags such as the container have been defined several times- i even found a discrepancy between the width between two of these, but when fixed everything still jumps.
There are no images on the side that are causing it to jump by being slow to load.
The content only jumps if the content is greater than the screen height- that is, it goes off screen.
Content will jump with my old computer, but will not jump with my new computer, on the same network and connection.
On an older computer content will jump with IE 10, but not when you put IE10 into compatibility mode.
I'm afraid that i don't have the permission to put a link to the website, so i've tried to put everything i know about it here. I know that makes it more difficult, but any pointers to put me in the right direction will help a lot!
Update!
The scroll bars were the problem- I used the answer from this thread: Making the main scrollbar always visible
and all jumping has stopped!
You should simplify the problem removing 'things' until you isolate it.
If you don't have a preproduction or development environment to test make a copy of the page where the problem still exists. Then start removing things. If any div needs some content so the layout is stable replace anything dynamic or complex with simple text or images.
If the problem seems fixed removing something don't think you got it, undo what you just did so it still fails and keep on removing parts or functions that definitely have nothing to do with the problem.
When you have a minimal example that is still failing it will be much easier to figure out what the problem is or if not post the example here so we can help.
So I know that the question of how to make a radial menu has come up before and I am aware that some people have done absolutely amazing things already, but! I have to make one and I can't use anything more than css and js. The problem is, I have to implement the menu on the clients piece of crap drag and drop editor. It doesn't have anything fancy installed and isn't the most wonderful environment to work in.
To make matters worse, it has to be compatible back to IE8. I know. Trust me.
I was initially thinking of using a bunch of divs shaped as triangles layered over each other, but then I would have to cut off all of the tips poking out. Not sure how to do that.
Any ideas?
By the way, this is the triangle idea: http://imgur.com/YcWeOjE
I have a design I'm creating in CSS, and it has started to sort of, er, lazy scroll. By that I mean the scrollbar lags a bit when you are scrolling. What are common causes of this so that I can debug it from my site?
EDIT:
The document has very little content (not even a paragraph), so not much at all. No flash, two images.
EDIT:
I feel so stupid. Improperly formatted background: property was causing the issue. Thanks nonetheless, everyone.
It's likely to be due to heavy processing requirements via css.
(CSS does affect scrolling in every browser) I have seen this scenario many times (the worst case is with SVG). It usually hits browsers like Chrome hard because of it's AA.
There was a great website that detailed the heaviest to the safest properties to use in regards to CSS effects, sorry I don't have the link. Though from my experience I would say to consider:
Gradients: The more you feature or the larger the area they cover the more exponential the rendering calculations. Abusing stops and additional colors also adds to the mayhem.
Border-Radius: Is usually clipping off its internal content whatever it may be. I've noticed differences when excluded.
Opacity can be the main issue if coupled with other css effects. In certain scenarios I've found great improvements when removing opacity or reducing it's usage. As it's not just transparency it's driving it's also for some browsers anti-aliasing text.
Images: The way images can affect scrolling should be obvious, though I've discovered re-sizing imaged from it's native resolution can become a more noticeable factor.
Use of properties such as background-size:; draws huge power in certain situations, a workaround could be to scrap the div, replace with < img > and overlay with a blank div
containing text/ content.
Animations transitions & translations are obvious power eaters if abused, especially animation that loops continuously or re-sizes to the browser via percentages.
Bare in mind someone on a low spec celeron PC will have a terrible experience on a site that lags on your reasonably/ high powered PC/ mac
I'm experiencing a strange PNG issue in my as3 flash project. I am loading a bunch of PNG's into flash which have gradient transparencies.
In early slides, these are displaying correctly, later on in the project, the gradient transparency is showing as a solid black background.
Is this a memory issue? I've been pretty hot about memory clean up. All the images are loaded in using exactly the same scripts, and I can swap the images around with the identical results. It just seems like after a while flash stops showing the transparency right.
Images of my problem can been seen below.

and then after the first level has played:
broken:
broken.jpg (same url as above with broken.jpg at the end (apparently as I am a new user here I can't have more than one url in a post))
I've been search Google for literally hours but can't find anyone experiencing a similar issue.
Any advice very much appreciated.

Ok, I know this is an old post but I too searched for a long time on google and only found this reference to the problem I was having as well.
Anyways, long story short, I fixed my issue.
The problem was I had set the alpha way to high. I set it to 5 and it did something similar to yours. I had to make sure the alpha was always clamped between 0 and 1.
Hope that was your issue as well.
I'm curious if you are loading them on top of each other, and you start seeing buildup.
it's hard to tell what exactly is going on without seeing any code, but here are some ideas
make sure that the BitmapData has
alpha enabled (this is usually done
through the constructor)
if this is a
memory issue (though this doesn't
seem like it is) try using object
pools. the HYPE framework has one,
but there are others too.
Check how they are loaded. I use the casa lib for loading, which makes the handling of the images easier, I load pngs through it and haven't had any issues like this.
post a simplified version of the problem. I've solved a problem countless times where I tried to post the problem, but would simplify it to the bare essentials and end up seeing the cause.
