My site's Google map is very slow! When ever you do anything, zoom in or out or move the map, my loader spins for too long. I was told it is probably because everything is programmed to load before it will display. Any ideas?
Heres mine
My Map
Heres one i would love to replicate, it is very fast. Follow link below and click "Map" in top right emnu bar next to "List".

May be your api version are old, please make sure and then use latest loading supported version....
Use this version
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&v=3.5
instead of this
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCONGB2LuIR6U3cT63dnC5IOzRWKWAGWAI&v=3.exp&sensor=false&libraries=places
(any...)

So in short, i dont mess with Joomla at all (been a few years) and today i get a "hey can you fix this" problem which ive dedicated too much time to and i cant seem to figure out the problem. i definitively need help
The website is http://www.inrecordtime.net
The problem is that, the slider doesn't fully work and by "fully" i mean that, everything is in place, ive checked paths and replaced the original files with updated versions, also changed out the google hosted cdn version of jquery with a local copy, checked image paths etc....and nothing.
What happens is that when the page loads, the first image on the slider loads, but the slider doesnt "slide" its just one image in place.
Ive tested the images on firebug and they load fine.
Ive removed the parameters in the slider and left it as a regular function call like jQuery('#slider').nivoSlider(); and nothing.
i placed back the parameters and within the slider, one of the parameters is startSlide
and this parameter instructs the slider to start at a specific image in the list.
currently its at "0" which is the first image, when i change it like so startSlide: 2 for example, and then reload the page, the slider starts at the second image (which indicates the not fully working part of it all ) but again, the slider doesnt "slide".
I suggested to the higher ups that instead of mixing it all up, to let me hard code it but that was shot down because they want them to be able to change the images.
Im really lost so any help or code or suggestion etc, i humbly appreciate.
Thanks in advanced.
Based on the errors that are popping up in my console, you likely need to update the jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js file to a later version, which you can grab from here: https://github.com/gilbitron/Nivo-Slider/blob/master/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js
The version you are running relies on the live function in jquery, which was deprecated and I think is now removed, hence the errors being thrown now that you use the latest jquery version. The new version of nivo slider has been updated to rely on the new on function of jquery and should run.
Looks like your version is located here: http://www.inrecordtime.net/templates/IRT/scripts/nivo-settings/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js

i made a WordPress page for a client, and for some reason it is taking over a minute to load the page. The only thing that I could think of being the problem is the amount of photos that he inserted into the slider up top on the home page. It looks like all those pictures need to load before anything else pops up. But then I click on Contact or any other page that has no real images to speak of, and the problem is still there. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this. thanks!
Like #David said, its the initial request (the source for the page) that is giving you the issues. This means it is unlikely an issue with hosting, and most likely an issue with your code. I would go through any plugins you have installed and disable them one-by-one, and slowly start commenting out your own custom dynamic code bit by bit, till you see what is taking so incredibly long. Then rewrite/excise that code from the site.
Start With the Basics
Keep the number of WordPress plugins you use to a minimum
Get a Proper Hosting Provider
Remove Unnecessary Code From WordPress Header -> http://goo.gl/yfRcF
Use firebug and click Network tab to check loading speed for each files
Check Suggestion how to improve website speed -> http://goo.gl/FtiX3
Install WP Super Cache plugin -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
*If you use gallery try to use image thumbnail rather than load whole images size
i am not sure that this is the right place to ask this question, but i will anyway. i have only been working with html / javascript & jquery for about 2 months, but i have learned a little.
this is what i am trying to do. i have a free image gallery that i managed to included in a website i am trying to make. the gallery works fine, and i have set it up so that on top of each image is a button that fires a short .mp4.
it works fine, but when i click the gallery button to show the next page of pictures (about 15 per page), there are my old buttons. i think, just maybe if i could figure out what js or jq function id being called i may be able to swap in new buttons.
but i cannot understand what is happening. i looked for an onclick, but what they use is a bunch of "this" statements. i am pretty sure they are using an anchor tag to flip the page, but i can't figure out what is being called.
so i came across this site, and after about 10 attempts, finally got the thing to let me join.
i'm hoping i can post the code and maybe somebody could tell me what is happening.
i guess this wasn't much of a question, just an appeal for assistance.
Are you asking how you can debug your code? If you are using Chrome, you can use its Javascript debugger. Similarly, Firebug is a good developer plugin for Firefox.
I have an April fools prank in mind and I will probably need some time to figure it out, so that's why I'm early:
I want to install an extension in the browser (needs to target botch FF and IE, so a cross browser implementation would be best) of my friend so that if he hits the news page he is visiting every morning, a fake image will make him think that he has been selected. The problem is, that I cannot just swap the images. I have to use the actual image from that website and put his head on the body of someone else.
I do have some graphics guys that can do that sort of stuff. My problem over here is to hook into the rendering process and do my own alterations to the image before it gets rendered. That is, taking the image, doing stuff to it and then passing in the modified image to the browser so that it is being redered instead of the original one.
Is that possible using extensions? If it may be only possible with eihter FF or IE, I might get him to use the browser of choice but I'd highly appreciate your suggestions, code snippets and starting points for research. Are there browser extensions that can do similar stuff?
Cheers everyone. There is a lot of reputation in that game so I don't care if it takes weeks or even months to complete the job.
Thank you guys, looking forward to suggestions!

I think your intentions are harmless, but I must warn you: not all people may find your prank funny. But if you are sure that your friend will enjoy such a prank, it's really easy to set up.
You can use BFilter with site-specific filter to replace the image URL (it is very easy, just look at its examples and documentation). So when the user tries to open the web-page he will see your image instead of original picture. BFilter can be used as transparent proxy. I do not know how to setup transparent proxy in Windows, so you have to figure this part yourself. Alternatively, you can configure all installed browsers to use your filtering proxy.
You can use any other filtering proxy instead of BFilter.
I have searched and searched, but didn't find what I was looking for, so sorry if it's already there. I did a photo blog for a friend and used to implement jQuery Jazyload (http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload) to load all the pictures along the way, however, it doesn't work in all browsers anymore and he stopped developing it. I heard of http://www.sebastianoarmelibattana.com/projects/jail/, but it will need a lot of extra text and code when you have 500-1,000 pictures on one site. Also I want to be able to load the images lets say 1000px, before they appear in the window.
Do anyone have suggestions/solution or else, to get the problem fixed?

It is the part of automatically removing image src which does not work anymore. Version 1.5 released Dec 23, 2009 provided alternative where you must alter HTML and store image url in original attribute. I renamed it recently to data-originalto be HTML5 friendly. I also updated to documentation which better explains how to use it.
But yes. The way Lazy Load used to work is not possible anymore. Before you could just drop in the JavaScript and it handled everything automagically. Due to changes in new browsers you now must alter the HTML.
PS. Lazy Load is not dead. It was just orphan for a while.
