When using AJAX to load HTML and inject it into the page, i ran into some weird behaviour from chrome where the images would not show up, this was inconsistent bug. once in a while after refreshing the page the images would appear.. or not (?!)

fiddling around with the css/jquery  code didn’t help much. finally I found my problem – I had  img{ display : inline-block; } in my general CSS which for some reason was causing problems with chrome. once I’ve set the display to “inline” everything was fine and I was happy again… so happy i wrote this post!

I’ve made this little html-jquery app for HP (HP SmartStream Solution Showroom). apart from all the IE bugs I will not go into here, one very peculiar behavior from chrome was extremely annoying. when going into the video page  (example: https://www.hpwsn.com/showroom/#/s-34/video) SOME of the thumb images would no load, once i refresh the page SOME of the images would load and some won’t. checking the Developer Tool resources tab i could see all images are loaded and accessible to the browser – yet nothing shows on page, (chrome only).
Let the testing begin:
1/ change the path of the image in the Dev-tool>elements and reset to first path – WORKS!

2/ disable “margin” in css – still no image

3/ disable – enable “float” in css – (yes, I have float:left on the images) – WORKS!

ok so Chrome don’t like float, i can live with that.

my solution:

<img src=’some/image.png’ class=’someImage’ />

jquery:

$(“.someImage”).load(function() {

$(this).css({
“float”:”left”
});

});

Inspired by both spiritual elements and contemporary concepts, Shirley Lev combines high-tech techniques with traditional silversmithing.Lev designs and manufactures her creations by means of a unique combination of digital media and traditional silversmith’s techniques.

Until recently these items where only available on selected shops as the Israel National Museum shop, The Tel-Aviv Museum shop and a few high-end e-commerce site like uncommongoods.com, as of april 2011 Shirley Lev is launching her new website which will function as an online catalog for her latest work and a boutique Judaica shop.

“I photograph the images that will appear on the designed object, process the imagery and use photochemical etching to imprint the images on the metal.”
This technique enables the designer to achieve very high levels of accuracy on miniature, intricate designs. These can then be rendered on very thin metal surfaces creating a texture similar to lace. The result is both contemporary and exclusive in appearance.
Beneath the metal design, Lev integrates colored surfaces that emphasize the texture and lend a vivid quality to the ornaments. The end result has a delicate colorfulness, elegance and warmth.
