ah

I'm trying to have this draggable modal keep its click-to-dismiss background covering the whole page at all times

By default, it sizes to 100%x100% and stays like that through dragging

which means are areas that become unclickabble and no longer function

I was hoping to make it so I could just extend the bacgkround, but it's the whole .modal class, so I have to try something weird

So I set padding-left: 300px and margin-left: -300px

That works fine

It extends the backdrop area and keeps the modal opening in the same spot

However, if I set it to even 1000px and -1000px, it messes up, and sticks the modal 30% across the page, touching the top

AAAAND IT WORKS NOW?!?!?!?!?

oOo____OoO

Seth

do I need to repaste the gif?

Zacharee1

I'd say so!

:p

Nothing changed and now it works

@Seth I've seen that one before: still funny XD

Seth

so TIL that there is a band named CSS. And they have a song called "I love you". Weird.

@Zacharee1 it's always funny xD

Zacharee1

That is weird

Seth

LOL cssisawesome.com

OK

I'm backing my live website revision up and uploading the new one

@Seth would you be willing to test Modals? (You'll need JS enabled)

Seth

I guess.

Zacharee1

2:25 AM

thx

Serg

@seth @Zacharee1 what happened ?

Zacharee1

@Serg messed up pings and the like

also messed up CSS -_-

Seth

@Serg Zach is trying to CSS.

Zacharee1

This download from the @TheBrownOne's server is going at a whopping 50KB/s :p

Seth

And so far it's working quite as well as usual.

Zacharee1

2:27 AM

@Seth and failing. don't forget that part :p

Serg

Hehe, i played with css in highschool web design class. Promptly forgot it once i finished the class with B

And for a laugh of the day...

Seth

haha

Zacharee1

:(

:P

Instead of studying for my test tomorrow, I played with CSS

Serg

I played with css and turbo Pascal but at that time i never even imagined id be years later doing engineering degree, playing with c, java, python, microcontrollers and raspberries

Zacharee1

2:29 AM

To be fair, though, I have no idea what I'm supposed to study

Seth

@Serg how about blackberries? :p

hbdgaf

The only people I know that use blackberries work for, are, or were government types. Nobody in their right mind willingly uses a blackberry.

Seth

Except Roland :P

hbdgaf

There's an exception for every rule. Evidently it's Roland.

Seth

I wasn't arguing. I just don't know anyone except roland that would say that...

Zacharee1

@Seth techyteen.tk

Sorry @Serg

hbdgaf

2:36 AM

@Zacharee1 Why all the "Click me" buttons instead of making the entire surrounding div a clickable. No need for buttons

Q: can anyone tell me what this means?

On a friends Facebook profile their email address has changed to black hole #####(numbers)@devnull. Facebook what does that mean. Did they change email addresses?? Or no longer has a email address

Zacharee1

@hbdgaf Oh, that's actually an interesting idea

@Serg ikr

It means your friend is a showoff

@Seth Take a look at the BB Priv: gsmarena.com/blackberry_priv-7587.php

Aside from the front camera, it ain't bad

Would be awesome if there were more scriting questions, but recently it just seems so shallow

@Zacharee1 thx

Zacharee1

Is there a away to have a transition after hover is released in CSS?

Serg

Also, guys, I'm on mobile, so don't ping me unless it's seriously urgent. Cleaning the message queue on every refresh is a pain

Zacharee1

figured it out

Serg

2:56 AM

But I'll still be glad for pings when I'm not around :)

Zacharee1

3:08 AM

@hbdgaf Can you see if hovering works on those divs now? Chrome says the whole segment of CSS doesn't exist

Ah, it was CloudFlare messing up

Delete that file and everything will be okay. Open your terminal and: rm /home/josh/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml

I am assuming it has deleted some softlink somewhere since my disk space hasn't reduced.

@ByteCommander That's not how that works, you need people with a certain score in one of the two tags you want to merge

I have another, far more flexible and easy to use solution for you! Copy the script below and paste it to /usr/local/bin/dupe-check (or any other location and file name, you need root permissions for this one). Make it executable by running this command: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dupe-check ...
