I created a wordpress website using the theme Photo from wpexplorer. Everything looks great in Firefox and Explorer, but when viewed in Chrome, the website navigation disappears (sometimes). Sometimes it loads just fine. But upon reload, the navigation disappears. How can I fix this problem for viewing the website in Chrome. http://testhouseforgovernor.com
This is a known bug for Chrome. Its become most prominent within Chrome 32 and there are still some issues within Chrome 33.

There is one suggested fix out there:
body {
-webkit-animation-delay: 0.1s;
-webkit-animation-name: fontfix;
-webkit-animation-duration: 0.1s;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: 1;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
}
#-webkit-keyframes fontfix {
from { opacity: 1; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}
It just tells Chrome to re-load the font's opacity which is where the problem lies.

Ok so I am applying a parallax/ken burns effect on an image but I am not convinced the method I am using to do this is that good. It works well on webkit browsers, but is not very smooth on firefox and does not work at all in IE
It's pretty simple I have a background image in a div and on window load I apply a class called pan that changes the background position.
Would anyone have any ideas for a way of achieving this effect that would be SMOOTH and pan nicely.
Here is the site http://dev.touch-akl.com/xmas/
#banner{
background-size: 100%;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:0 0;
padding-top:35.15625%;
-o-transition-duration: 10s;
-ms-transition-duration: 10s;
-moz-transition-duration: 10s;
-webkit-transition-duration: 10s;
}
At one point I even had a small scale on the .pan class that looked great in chrome but was even worse on firefox
#banner.pan{
background-position:0 160%;
}
here is the free plugin for the ken burn effect you can download it
here is the demo
I have some objects in an animation which are continously animating in a rotation back and forth using css3. To do this I have created a declaration like so:
#-webkit-keyframes wiggle {
0% {-webkit-transform:rotate(12deg);}
50% {-webkit-transform:rotate(-6deg);}
100% {-webkit-transform:rotate(12deg);}
}
And each object I want to use this for I do the following:
.p4, .p5, .p6 {
-webkit-animation-name: wiggle;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
}
Since I want some random between each of the objects I have the following altering animation durations:
.p4 {
-webkit-animation-duration: 5s;
}
.p5 {
-webkit-animation-duration: 7s;
}
.p6 {
-webkit-animation-duration: 8s;
}
And so on...
This works ok - (only testing in Chrome so far). But it doesn't seem to be very optimal.
I would like to know whether there is a faster way to achieve this. Or a leaner way. I believe I could perform this with JS but I'm not sure what is going to be more lightweight on the end users resources.
Is there a better way to achieve this sort of basic animation with less resources - and if so, how?
In addition to this, if I were to create this same animation using jquery for example, how could I actually test the memory usage required? I found something recently to test memory usage of tabs but it appears the results are inconsistent. ie sometimes 1 tab is using more memory than the other and vice versa even though the code remains the same.
Thanks for any pointers.
Stick with the CSS3 animations if they work as intended, and if needed do something in JS as a fallback for non supporting browsers.
Replacing the CSS3 with JS is not really leaner or less resource intensive, quite the opposite as CSS3 seems to have smoother animations and in some browsers will use hardware accelaration and the GPU, something not possible with JS (at least not easily).
All in all you'll end up writing more in JS, and perhaps use a library or plugin for rotating animations as well. It will be less smooth in most browsers, and use more resources as well as JS will have to set the css tranform values several times each second for a somewhat smooth animation.
Im designing a Wordpress based site for a client and was wondering if it is possible to have the pages load then open/close from the center like the iPad?
The site will essentially look like an iPad with icons inside of it that lead to the other wordpress pages. Is this effect possible?
Thanks
I would definitely advise using css transitions otherwise it will be incredibly slow.
Just include some CSS and toggle the class.
.app{
width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;
-webkit-transform: scale(.0);
-webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
-webkit-transition-duration: 500ms;
}
.app.opened{
-webkit-transform: scale(1);
}

I'm developing an app for the iPad using HTML5/CSS3. I'm not using any framework and am just using whatever is natively supported on the device. I have created some css3 animations to emulate the typical iOS sliding left or sliding right when navigating between screens. Here's an example of the slide left animation which is taking advantage of the iPad's CSS3 hardware acceleration: (the ipad is running 4.2).
/*************************************************
Slide Left
*************************************************/
.screen.slideleft{
-webkit-animation-duration: 0.5s;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
}
.screen.slideleft.outgoing{
z-index: 50 !important;
-webkit-animation-name: slideleft-outgoing;
}
.screen.slideleft.incoming{
z-index: 100 !important;
-webkit-animation-name: slideleft-incoming;
}
#-webkit-keyframes slideleft-outgoing{
from { -webkit-transform: translate3d(0%,0,0); }
to { -webkit-transform: translate3d(-100%,0,0); }
}
#-webkit-keyframes slideleft-incoming{
from { -webkit-transform: translate3d(100%,0,0); }
to { -webkit-transform: translate3d(0%,0,0); }
}
I also have this CSS which I've attempted to use to fix the flicker:
.incoming,
.outgoing{
display: block !important;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
}
This works great until the iPad keyboard is used. After which point all the animations flicker severely.
I've been looking for examples of an iPad HTML5 app that uses the keyboard and doesn't have flickers afterwards, but haven't turned up much. The jqTouch demos exhibit the same behavior on the iPad (although I know they were designed for the iPhone).
I've turned up a few posts/questions of similar questions but have never found a good answer. I've been through http://css3animator.com/2010/12/fight-the-flicker-making-your-css3-animation-bomb-proof/ and the articles linked there but haven't had any success.
Any other suggestions?
Update 1/13 # 9am
I've added this css and it helped a lot:
.incoming *,
.outgoing *{
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); /* This helps with the flicker a lot. */
}
The foreground elements don't seem to flicker anymore, but the backgrounds still do. Still looking for some help or helpful resources on Mobile Safari's memory handling tactics.
Update 1/16 # 11pm
Increasing the z-index as suggested by anonymous. Didn't seem to make a difference.
Update 1/17 # 8:30am
I've posted a demo of the problem here.
The transitions between screens work great...until you tap/click inside one of the form fields. After the keyboard slides up and returns, all the transitions flicker. Go to the URL inside the iOS simulator or on an actual iPad to see what I'm talking about.
This is an old question, but I thought I'd share my experience.
I've been having issues with outrageous flickering (on css3 animations) on the iPad (as well as the iPhone, but in that case only in portrait view). I was able to completely resolve all of the flickering issues by setting :
-webkit-perspective: 0;
On the elements being animated. I'm not sure why this works, but it does (tested on iOS 4.2+, both iPad (1 and 2) and iPhone 4).
Update: I've just become aware of an issue with Chrome when setting the value of that attribute to 1. It works just fine when it's 0, so I've updated the above appropriately.
Looking at your source, the translate3d(0,0,0) isn't applied until the transition starts?
Try
.screen{
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
or
.screen *, .screen{
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
The flicker is probably the hardware acceleration kicking in (it currently only works on 3d translated elements).
I had the same issue, but i was able to reduce the flicker to almost unnoticeable by applying the fix described here and here:
http://code.google.com/p/jqtouch/issues/detail?id=301
https://github.com/senchalabs/jQTouch/issues/issue/130
Basically set the z-index of the page you a are moving out to -1 and after the transistion back to 1
I know this is a dinosaur old question, but there is a solution for this issue and it is quite lightweight and very simple.
document.getElementById('clicked_input').addEventListener('focus', function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
},false);
When i was tackling this issue too, I thought I tried everything - eventually the only thing that helped, was to create a modal window (position: absolute) outside of the app's container div, and also set the app's container div to display:false; when the keyboard was coming up. While it worked it was ugly, I tested everything to see what caused the event and it seemed that when the 'focus event' bubbled up, every 3d transform gets messed up (in flickering and performance).
Preventing the event of bubbling solved this issue completely - quite mind boggling that such a hated bug had such a simple solution?
You're not going to like me saying this, but JavaScript may be the answer you're looking for. I fear that when you bring the keyboard up, the process of rendering the HTML loses priority. With a continually updating script, like a setInterval loop, the iPad will have no choice but to render as planned. Explicit code requires no hacks.
I agree with Ben, you should probably set transforms on the classes themselves as well:
/*************************************************
Slide Left
*************************************************/
.screen.slideleft{
-webkit-animation-duration: 0.5s;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
.screen.slideleft.outgoing{
z-index: 50 !important;
-webkit-animation-name: slideleft-outgoing;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(-100%,0,0);
}
.screen.slideleft.incoming{
z-index: 100 !important;
-webkit-animation-name: slideleft-incoming;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
#-webkit-keyframes slideleft-outgoing{
from { -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); }
to { -webkit-transform: translate3d(-100%,0,0); }
}
#-webkit-keyframes slideleft-incoming{
from { -webkit-transform: translate3d(100%,0,0); }
to { -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); }
}
If that doesn't work, I'd be curious to test if only translating the X with translateX(-100%) fixes the problem. (Not necessarily a fix, because you don't have hardware acceleration without 3D transforms, but would help narrow down the problem.)
Ultimately, there really wasn't a fix for this issue. It seems like form elements in WebKit on the iPad cause problems with flickering.
My workaround was that on the onblur of each form element, I refreshed the page using hash tags to ensure it refreshed to the exact same state. It still caused a "flicker" while it was refreshing, but it did keep the screen from flickering throughout the rest of the app.
I've recently been having the same problem and tried all sorts of complicated fixes. In the end I found the issue was down to the default styling on the input. I fixed my problem by adding the css input{outline:none}. It's prob just on the focus state so input:focus{outline:none;} should work.
