    <p>I have a bit of jQuery that selects a random image from a folder and fades it in within a div on each page load. The problem is the menu div just below the image jumps up into the blank space of the image before the image fades in.</p> <p>What's the best way to have the image div retain height before the image fades in? CSS to "fill" the div before the image fades in? Or load a blank .jpg before the random image fades in? (All random images are the same size 1000px width x 250px height).</p> <p><em>I need to retain the responsiveness of the design</em>, so it's possible the best solution is to preload a blank jpg and then fade in the random image.</p> <p>I haven't included the image and caption arrays for simplicity, but this function outputs the image with the .randomheader class:</p> <p><strong>jQuery:</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $('.randomheader').randomImage(); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; (function($){ $.randomImage = { defaults: { path: '/fullpathhere/headerimages/', myImages: ['image1.jpg' , 'image2.jpg' , 'image3.jpg'], myCaptions: ['Caption 1' , 'Caption 2' , 'Caption 3'] } } $.fn.extend({ randomImage:function(config) { var config = $.extend({}, $.randomImage.defaults, config); return this.each(function() { var imageNames = config.myImages; var imageCaptions = config.myCaptions; var imageNamesSize = imageNames.length; var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*imageNamesSize); var displayImage = imageNames[randomNumber]; var displayCaption = imageCaptions[randomNumber]; var fullPath = config.path + displayImage; // Load the random image $(this).attr( { src: fullPath, alt: displayImage }).fadeIn('slow'); // Load the caption $('#caption').html(displayCaption).fadeIn('slow'); }); } }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>HTML:</strong> </p> <pre><code> &lt;header id="masthead" class="site-header" role="banner"&gt; &lt;!-- random image loads in the div below --&gt; &lt;img src="" class="randomheader" width="1000" height="250" alt="header image"&gt; &lt;div id="caption"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- The nav div below jumps up into the div above --&gt; &lt;nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation"&gt; // nav here &lt;/nav&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>CSS:</strong></p> <pre><code>.randomheader { margin-top: 24px; margin-top: 1.714285714rem; } img.randomheader { max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: none; } </code></pre>

    1. COPut a container around the image with a fixed height. When the image fades in it's height change won't cause flow issues. The fixed dimensions of the container should prevent the flow issues.

    3. COWhat's responsive here? The above image tag has dimensions specified in implicit px units (in the HTML). Responsive layout elements are typically specified in % or em. In what way is the image supposed to change when the browser is resized?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
