What would be cool is to have a webpage where the first thing the user sees is fullscreen ( example a picture ) but still be able to scroll down to see more content.
here is a bit of a modification from a stackoverflow solution
(stackoverflow solution http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8264499/css-min-height-100-with-multiple-divs?rq=1)
I just converted it to not have a header or a footer. and added content beyond the first screen.

A simple but cool effect with minimal HTML and CSS and no javascript.
This works in most modern browsers ( IE not included )
hover over the iphone to see it "phase out"
Feel free to use the code on the fiddle.

Heroku promises minimal config for rails devs, but out of the box, it has taken a bit of research to get it working right with Win8
especially since rails seems to have mysql as the default... weird choice imho.
Beyond following heroku instructions there are a couple other steps.
Firstly, I can recommend getting aptana set up, it has a default rails project that has most things setup.
next in postgres you have to set a role for your project to use. my role is called example and i setup it with just about all privileges on to get things going.
In Aptana, create a new Rails project.
from the console terminal that aptana creates install a couple gems
gem install pg
gem install activerecord-postgresql-adapter
in Aptana in your project make the following changes to config/database.yml
Remove the setting for the sqlite3 and replace the settings for your postgres db.
( example needs to be replaced with your settings. )
adapter: postgresql
database: example_db
username:example
password:example
host:localhost
encoding:UTF8
then in the Gemfile in your project remove
gem 'sqlite3'
and replace with
gem 'pg'
lastly in the command line console of Apatana, type
rake db:create
hopefully thats it
created a directive that works on the window scroll ( it could updated to work on any element though ) html usage
where "service.scrollY" MUST be a variable within a service. Services retain their state and values, controllers are recreated every time they load and clear their values so you cant use them to store persistent data. the controller has a scope variable pointing to the service. directive js
app.directive('ngKeepScroll', function ($timeout) { return function (scope, element, attrs) { //load scroll position after everything has rendered $timeout(function () { var scrollY = parseInt(scope.$eval(attrs.ngKeepScroll)); $(window).scrollTop(scrollY ? scrollY : 0); }, 0); //save scroll position on change scope.$on("$routeChangeStart", function () { scope.$eval(attrs.ngKeepScroll + " = " + $(window).scrollTop()); }); } });
Its been a long and enjoyable project. The results are great even if i do say so myself.
