IE8 overflow:scroll bug

Since this wasn’t immediately apparent to me when googling “IE8 overflow scroll” I figured I should post the solution to get more awareness.

Using overflow: scroll; and a max-height on an element causes the entire webpage to display white. That’s right. On any element.

Changing the overflow to auto fixed the problem.

I hope that helps anyone in the future. I hope that the world can stop using IE8 soon. How ridiculous.

An Experiment On My Site’s Homepage

I decided to mess around with CSS3 animations to make a link to this blog from my website’s homepage. It is complete overkill and serves no real purpose, but it taught me quite a bit about using functions inside SASS, and different CSS3 animations and transitions.

Things That Go With Web Development: (But Not Really) - jQuery Waypoints & K. Flay

This topic is the first idea I’ve had for this blog.

The idea is that I’ll post something development related; something cool that I’ve come across, a helpful fix to a common problem, a website that interests me, something like that, and pair it with something that else random that has nothing to do with web development.

I’ve been using it on my most recent project, and I learned that you can combine functions on different waypoints to modify the same element. Doing so allowed me to stick a sidebar block within only the content area:

For the passed 2 weeks I’ve been obsessed with K. Flay. Her songs have been stuck in my head constantly and have given me perfect fuel for my coding...

First Entry - What is Svbtle?

Welcome to my Svbtle? I guess? This blogging platform is super strange, so I thought that I would give it a try.

I’ve never really been much into blogging. Not knowing what to talk about, between web design, development, video games, movies, tv, art, dinosaurs, goings ons in the world, it’s been hard to really focus that into a meaningful blog.

So this is my attempt at posting… stuff? I guess. We’ll see how it goes! Here’s a picture of the greatest man alive: jeff-goldblum.jpg
