Unfortunately, I have to use IE 8 & 9 for our application.
My people want a rounded corner box.
OPTION 1 : Use border-radius and 'edge'. We will get rounded for people with 9 but not 8....
OPTION 2 : Just go with a rounded image like we have for years, this will look the same in both browsers...
Here's my question - are there any drawbacks to using OPTION 2 BESIDES the loading time for the image?
If one zooms into the page, the rounded image will look pixelated. If you want to, you can use CSS3Pie for rounded borders in IE8, however html5please recommends against.

I have a layout that keeps occurring in my codebase, that I'm not able to style properly with react-native flex only.
I want to have a top and bottom container which initially should both take half the screen space. The bottom container should grow with it's children and the top container should shrink if need be.
I've created a snack with the code here, where the layout behaves as it should, but it's using a workaround via onLayout: https://snack.expo.io/#domir/center-problem
The same problem is easily solved in web via flex: 1 on both containers. In react-native if I have flexGrow: 1 on both of them, they only divide leftover whitespace.
E.g. Currently for a display height 1000 a top container will get 400 while bottom container will get 400 + 200 when a 200 child is placed there when using flexGrow: 1. What I want is both to get 500 until the bottom container has 3 children with 200 each. Then I want the top container to get 400 and the bottom to have 600.
Not sure if there's a way to solve this JUST with flex (probably not) - and I'm not sure what your requirements are, but here's a way to solve that without using onLayout but instead just use maxHeight percentages:
https://snack.expo.io/#sudoplz/center_problem_maybe_solved
All I actually did was I used the existing counter value you had in that snack, to modify the input of maxHeight
The top parent is now styled like that:
maxHeight: `${Math.min(50, ITEM_HEIGHT - counter * ITEM_HEIGHT_PERCENTAGE)}%`
which means that until the bottom parent is full, it's max value will be 50%, as soon as it's full, the maxHeight becomes less and less gradually (depending on he number of children on the bottom view)
In my snack I also got rid of some unnecessary views you had, not sure why they were there.
Here's how that looks like now:
Would that work for you?
As you can see below, the maxHeight solution does not work quite well on a real device. Some of the lower boxes are cropped off or overflow the screen.
Although the solution does not have to be with flex only, I do have a flexible container at the bottom. It contains text and a varying amount of error messages. The yellow space would contain whitespace and the green container would contain some text input. On large screens, this is not a problem, but for small devices, the error messages can take up quite a bit of space and I'm not able to calculate the size of the lower parts in advance.
I would like to have 2 absolute layouts that overlay each other. Like having 2 pieces of glass on top of each other where each overlay can have it's own controls and behavior. One absolute layout doesn't work for me because I want each glass (per say) to have it's own behaviors for sizing and such. Xaml is preferred.
What about 2 page on top of eachother where the page on top has transparant background where you can click through?
I have never tried it out but I think it might be possible with this package:

Good luck!
A way to do this is to enclose both absolute layouts in a parent absolute layout. Zorder becomes important for touch and gestures
I have developed an app using iPhone 5 storyboard. The storyboard contains many views and I haven't used any constraints on any of the views.
What I am trying to achieve is to make the iPhone 5 storyboard expand to fit on iPhone 6 and 6+ without the need for any constraints, is this possible?
I have read many answer on SO already which lead me to believe that it is possible to get it to work but have not yet succeeded.
I don't have any launch images set, and I ticked the 'Use Size Classes' box for the storyboard.
Why is the storyboard not auto sizing for the iPhone 6. It's driving me crazy.
I hope you can help me,
thanks.
Have you tried using the Autoresizing feature? Uncheck the size classes box and you will see the option to use autoresizing under the measurements section to resize your storyboard for the 6 and 6plus.

You wont have to use size constraints since you're only making it for the iPhones
Click the "Use Auto Layout" checkbox shown below
Also here is a link to the size of the Launch images you should be using for the 6 and 6 plus.
One way but not recommended. Don't add splash screen for 6 and 6+
If you don't add the splash screen for 6 and 6+ OS will automatically scale all your UI.
The default auto resizing masks, which you probably have, have a fixed top and left margin and a fixed height and width. This would give you all the views packed into the top left corner as you are seeing - the flexibility is all in the right and bottom margins.
You're seriously better off using constraints (even adding the default constraints will probably get you most of the way there) but if you insist on sticking with auto resizing, you need to set fixed left and right margins and flexible width. Height is a bit more difficult, you have to decide which elements will fill the extra space and have flexible height on those.
To ensure that your app supports multiple screen sizes (instead of just scaling up the smaller interface) you should add a launch image .xib file which is much easier than using lots of images.
This may sound strange, but I don't understand how designers determine the image widths in their bootstrap layouts.
Consider the following template:
http://startbootstrap.com/templates/blog-post/
The 900x300 placeholder image is clearly not 900 wide on desktop 1080p monitor. It only ever gets shown full size when the browser is around 1000px wide.
Q) Am I being dense here? How are these widths determined/decided upon?
This is important as I want to make some designs using bootstrap, but obviously I want to make sure I select appropriate image widths.
Many ways to do this, but simplest is to use Chrome's "Inspect Element".
1) Right-click on photo and choose "inspect element". Scroll down until you see diagram of it's dimensions, padding etc
2) Adjust browser width to max out photo width (in your example it's between 990px and 1200px)
2) Keep editing the the placehold.it image-width until the inspector diagram stops changing photo width (see attached photo). This tells you the max threshold, in this case is 940px.
FYI, you can also try to determine knowing your column widths, padding, margins, and assuming you have properly reset nested column padding, but there is a lot of assumption and calculation there, so I tend to use the inspector method, at least to confirm.

Still pretty much getting started with Xcode and Interface Builder. I made a UI screen with several 'label' fields to display random data. But when I change the label color from the screen background color, it looks awful because they're perfect squares. Is there a way to round the corners for labels?
Thanks!
Quoting from another SO answer:
iPhone OS 3.0 and later supports the cornerRadius property on the CALayer class. Every view has a CALayer instance that you can manipulate. This means you can get rounded corners in one line now:
That post has a pretty detailed description of how to implement this behavior.
