Overcoming live() events and stopPropagation

As long as the parent element detect that the event was triggered by an anchor, it stop executing.

This is a method to replace stopPropagation() function which doesn't work in live() events.

$('body').live('click', function(e) {
// bail out if this event was triggered by an anchor
if ( $(e.target).is('a') ) { return; }

// do cool stuff down here
});

jQuery Animation: Queue, Stop()

When ".stop()" is used, all specified elements will stop their animation immediately and allow the next queued up animation to execute.

$('li').stop().animate({...code....});

By inserting "queue : false", we can stop the animation from queuing up in the animation buffer.

$('li').animate({...code...},{queue:false},1000);

To combine usage for both methods,

$('li').stop(true).animate({...code...});

Simple IE6 Hack/ Fix Cheat Sheet

This is a very basic guide for IE6 fixes/hacks. Do not try to attempt to understand why IE works in such mysterious way. Just copy and paste. Be happy.

Problem:

Incomplete/ Disappearing Borders

Solution:

Add in the property "position:relative" to the containing div

OR

Add in the property"overflow:auto;width:100%;"

Problem:

min-width

Solution:

width: expression(document.body.clientWidth <> 1279? "1000px" : "auto");

In human language: If screen resolution width less than 1024, change width to 800px. If screen resolution width greater than 1279, change width to 1000px;

Problem:

No padding-top nor padding-bottom for anchors(links)

Solution:

Add property "display:block" to the anchors

Problems:

Floating elements causes divs below it to cluster-fuck with them

Solution:

Stuff "clear:both" up those div's nose

Go Home IE6!

Done by Robot Johnny. This picture is shown as a denial message to IE6 users who had chance upon momentile.com. There is also a little message included in the css file

  "This is not being lazy. Momentile is for entertainment and I just can’t justify taking the time to hack my way to IE6 glory for a user that is too lazy to upgrade their browser. It’s time to push back."
