In a time where our country is divided on the nessesity of war, please put thought into the negative words you utter about our soldiers; at least on this day if not any other. Please think about not only brave soldiers who have laid down their lives in battle, but the ones who survived to bring them home and their loved ones who were left behind! - Russell Brown

 

 

I ran into this little gem this morning and I was stummped. FireBug wasn't even showing an attempt to call any images, ruling out server side issues since the image calls were plainly in the source code.

Turns out some how my local host got added to an exception list for loading images; I didn't even know FireFox had this feature.

  1. Tools » Options
  2. Content Tab
  3. Make sure Load Images is Cheked
  4. Click the respective Exceptions button
  5. Remove sites that shouldn't be in there

I had about 8 sites located in this exception list, all but one made no sense why they were there. I can only assume that there is some hot key or trigger that causes a site to get tossed into this bucket.

I needed to adjust an accordion to make it look more natural and less snappy. I found lots of "how to use" easing pages with examples obviously but the differences between many of the easing functions like Exponential, Exponential, Linear, Quadratic, Quartic, Quintic and Sine are so small that watching them one at a time yields nothing helpful.

This little app should be helpful in comparing the different options you have. Tweaking options are limited, but enough to give you a good idea of what one to use. I excluded Elastic and Bounce from this example since they were very different from all the others and play a very obvious role/function.
