Image stop being responsive as a child of a <a> element - image

I am trying to make the logo to redirect to the homepage, but when I put the image in an anchor its responsiveness doesn't work. I am using the "Simple Blog" template from here https://www.ampstart.com/templates
<a href="/">
<amp-img src="/images/logo/logo.svg" width="435" height="61.3" layout="fixed" class="my0 mx-auto " alt="Logo"></amp-img>
</a>

Try changing the layout type of amp-img from fixed to responsive.
I seem to recall possibly having some issues with SVG and responsive, but I could be thinking of something else. If responsive doesn't work try intrinsic.
See the tips and tricks section of the amp-img page for more info.

Make entire div clickable

I am trying to get the whole div clickable and this works but only with a straight link to another site. Is there a way to make it work with this text in it also:
<div class='reddit' title='Share Us On Reddit' onclick="window.open('http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=httpsFwww.example.com&title=XXX is Cape Breton's Homepage. Start Your Web Search With Beautiful Cape Breton Island')">
Thanks

This probably isn't a thing you need to rely on JavaScript for
anymore. Since HTML5, this is perfectly valid:
<a href="http://example.com">
<div>
anything
</div>
</a>
And remember you can make links display: block; so sometimes you
don't even need the div.
<div style="cursor:pointer" onclick="document.location='evenidontknow-page.html'">
<h2>Full Div Clickable</h2>
</div
The above code helped me very well, and this will not require any extra code.
Using a tag may solve the problem but we need to add extra code to it.

Bootstrap has a feature called "Stretched Link". From the documentation:
Make any HTML element or Bootstrap component clickable by “stretching” a nested link via CSS.

Can you control pinterest's "find image" results?

Rather than add Pin It buttons through our site, I would like to simply control what images show up in Pinterest's "Find Image" results if a user decides to pin one of our URLs.
As of now, "Find Images" allows the user to scroll through the images it finds on the page so they can select which image to pin. The "found" images start with the first jpg in the html file, I'm assuming (could that be a bad assumption??). On our site, this forces a user to scroll through about 15 navigation and promotion images before arriving at the featured product image. Is there any way to specify this image to show first in those results? Maybe through a meta tag, or by adding a class or id to the element?
Without a public Pinterest API, this seems like just guesswork, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this, or solved this. Thanks.
A lot of search results including the Pinterest Help Center talk about using nopin in HTML elements, which is invalid HTML. What they don't document is a data attribute to the same (well formed) effect.
<img src="foobar" data-pin-nopin="true" />
Adding the nopin attribute will exclude the image from appearing on Pinterest:
<img src="..." nopin>
I solved this by simply loading the image before all others in the page. In this case, I gave it width="0" and height="0" (you could also give it style="position: absolute; left: -9999px; top: 0;" just to be sure).
This won't break the page layout, but will force Pinterest to find this image first. The only downside is that the browser will load the page a few milliseconds slower, but if you're reusing this image later in the page anyway, you should make up for lost time then.
Pinterest will find any images from <img> tags (it will ignore CSS background images) that are at least 80px x 80px.
The order the images show up on in the Pinterest list is determined by the order they are specified in the HTML.
As you have discovered, you can alter the CSS of an image to "hide it" without actually hiding it by either moving it off the page with absolute positioning or 0 height and width. Any images that are set to display: none will not be picked up by Pinterest.
You can instruct the share preview to only grab specific images from the page by using the “image_include” configuration option. First, set image_include to your desired class name (id selectors are not allowed, only class selectors), then add that same class name to each of the images on the page that should be grabbed. For image_include, don’t add the ‘.’ selector. Here’s an example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {
image_include: "at_include"
}
</script>
Once image_include has been defined with a class, add that class to the desired images on the page. In this example, the only images on the page that will be grabbed, will be the images with the at_include class (img1.jpg and img3.jpg).
<img src="http://www.example.com/img1.jpg" class="at_include" />
<img src="http://www.example.com/img2.jpg" />
<img src="http://www.example.com/img3.jpg" class="at_include" />
I was reading this blog which suggests the following:
Use the global no pin flag to prevent pinning on the whole site
Manually add the Pin It widget to those images you want to make pin-able.
Given Pinterest's webmaster tools appear to only have a blacklist, rather than a whitelist option (that you are seeking), this could be a possible solution. Another stated benefit of this is you can also supply suggested pin text through the Pin It widget.
Only downside to this I guess is that it may break the user's own Pin tools. Pinterest does allow you to supply a custom "denied" message, so I guess you can say "please use our site's pin buttons directly".
I've tried this, and it works. It seems like a decent approach, at least until Pinterest sees fit to add some better tools, such as an image whitelist option. The main drawback is needing to add Pin-it buttons on every image you want to enable for your users & your users may be annoyed that they can't pin anything.
Unfortunately, there is no way to mark several images on your page as preferred, but you can mark one image to stay at the top of your images when someone pin it. Specify this meta-tag in <head>:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/IMAGE.jpg"/>
I have not found official confirmation for this feature, but it works great with addthis sharing plugin.
Add this script before the actual call to pinterest. And set images that you do not want to show with a class called 'nopin'
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config =
{
image_exclude:'nopin'
}
</script>
<div id="toolbox" class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tumblr"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest"></a>
</div>
</div>
If anyone is using AddThis, please check this thread: http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/1570789
AddThis has some, uh, unique functionality that affects the image picker presented. As in, when there is only one image on the page, it ignores the defined og:image.
If you set that lone image to be excluded, then the image picker won't show any images for selection.

Link to anchor tag on a different page not working in Firefox

I have a link at the bottom of a page, and its purpose is to link to an anchor on a different page. It doesn't seem to work in Firefox (at least, not in v8). Instead, on load it goes right to the very bottom of the page.
Any help is appreciated!
Source: http://msi.emsix.com/news/1900/1/Six-in-Ten-Employers-Hope-Health-Care-Reform-will-be-Repealed.aspx (the "Susan McIntyre" link at the bottom)
Anchor markup:
<h3 id="mcintyre" name="mcintyre">Susan McIntyre</h3>
Try adding the following code:
<a name="mcintyre"></a>
<h3 id="mcintyre">Susan McIntyre</h3>
This works correctly if I disable javascript.
It looks like what happens is that the scroll is done before you use script to collapse away a bunch of the content. So the final scroll position ends up wrong.
If you're collapsing the content away async, that could do it...
If you are unable to create <a name='%hashName%'></a> anchor, consider this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window.location.hash).append('<a name="' + window.location.hash.replace('#','')+ '"></a>');
window.location.href=window.location.href;
});
I know it looks weird, but works fine.
Since today I haven't heard about div anchor tags. Are you sure it is proper to expect such kind of behaviour from browsers?

Starting ColorBox slideshow using a link

I would like to have a page with both an image gallery and a slideshow. The slideshow should be started when I click the link, the normal ColorBox should be used when I click one of the images.
What I do now is group all the images with a rel. For the slideshow link I use the following code:
<a rel="slideshow" href="#">Display slideshow</a>
In the configuration for colorbox I define rel as the rel I use for the images. This works almost, the problem I have with this is that I get an extra empty page at the beginning.
How can I start a slideshow of an image gallery, using a text link?
I searched for how to do this for a long time, and finally found the answer on - where else - the F.A.Q for Colorbox. The example is worded a bit differently though so it wasn't as easy to find as you might think. Especially if you're asking question in these terms, like I was.
<div style="display:none;"> <!-- optionally hide this div -->
<a rel="gallery" href="/slideshow/one.jpg">Caption 1</a>
<a rel="gallery" href="/slideshow/two.jpg">Caption 2</a>
<a rel="gallery" href="/slideshow/three.jpg">Caption 3</a>
</div>
<a id="openGallery" href="#">Display slideshow</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $gallery = $("a[rel=gallery]").colorbox();
$("a#openGallery").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$gallery.eq(0).click();
});
</script>

Displaying links to Weather sites and other widgets

What is the best tag to use to display widgets such as links to weather sites and Google maps? My old website used <span> with src= very satisfactorily, but src= isn't available for <span> in XHTML1.1. I've tried <img> and <iframe>. <img> only displays a red cross. <iframe> displays the widget OK but there is a difference between IE and Chrome, which both display it as I want, and Firefox, which puts a visible border round the widget, which I don't want. By the way, I would prefer a non Jquery/Ajax solution.
Using frameborder=0 fixes the problem.
