You can see the differences between the content modes here:

![enter image description here][1]

Redraw mode works as Scale to Fill mode. 
But there is a difference in how they are drawn when view geometry changes.
Scale to Fill mode uses already rendered content while Redraw mode renders the content again.

If you are talking about *UIViewContentMode*, the following is from the [Doc][1].

***UIViewContentModeScaleToFill***  
&gt;Scales the content to fit the size of itself by changing the aspect ratio of the content if necessary.

***UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit***  
&gt;Scales the content to fit the size of the view by maintaining the aspect ratio. Any remaining area of the view’s bounds is transparent.

***UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill***  
&gt;Scales the content to fill the size of the view. Some portion of the content may be clipped to fill the view’s bounds.

I&#39;ve seen this [post][1] already and tried everything I could to change the padding for my placeholder but alas, it seems it just doesn&#39;t want to cooperate.

Anyway, here is the code for the css. (**EDIT**: This is the generated css from sass)

    #search {
      margin-top: 1px;
      display: inline;
      float: left;
      margin-left: 10px;
      margin-right: 10px;
      width: 220px;
    }

    #search form {
      position: relative;
    }

    #search input {
      padding: 0 10px 0 29px;
      color: #555555;
      border: none;
      background: url(&#39;/images/bg_searchbar.png?1296191141&#39;) no-repeat;
      width: 180px;
      height: 29px;
      overflow: hidden;
    }

    #search input:hover {
      color: #00ccff;
      background-position: 0px -32px;
    }


And here&#39;s the simple html:

    &lt;div id=&quot;search&quot;&gt;
      &lt;form&gt;
        &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; value=&quot;&quot; placeholder=&quot;Search...&quot; name=&quot;q&quot; autocomplete=&quot;off&quot; class=&quot;&quot;&gt;
      &lt;/form&gt;
      &lt;div id=&quot;jquery-live-search&quot; style=&quot;display: block; position: absolute; top: 15px; width: 219px;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;ul id=&quot;search-results&quot; class=&quot;dropdown&quot;&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

Pretty simple? the placeholder is off for some reason but when you try to type in the input field, the text is the aligned. It seems that you can only change the color(for `webkit`) of the placeholder, but if I try to edit the padding of the containing input, it wrecks the design of the input! *pulls out hair*

Here are screenies of the placeholder and the input field with text input:

![placeholder][2]
![text input][3]


**EDIT**:

For now I have resorted to this [jquery plugin][4].


It works right out of the box and it fixes my chrome&#39;s problem. I would still like to uncover what the problem is (if it has something to do with MY chrome or something)

I&#39;m pretty sure it&#39;s not the styles since John Catterfeld reproduced it with no problems, so I&#39;m hoping someone out there could still point me to the right direction as to why this is happening to me(my client&#39;s chrome as well. So this is probably native to Chrome/OSX if John is using windows)

HTML5 placeholder css padding

I have a multiproject build and I put a task to build a fat jar in one of the subprojects. I created the task similar to the one [described in the cookbook][1].

    jar {
      from configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
      manifest { attributes &#39;Main-Class&#39;: &#39;com.benmccann.gradle.test.WebServer&#39; }
    }

Running it results in the following error:

&gt; Cause: You can&#39;t change a
&gt; configuration which is not in
&gt; unresolved state!

I&#39;m not sure what this error means. [I also reported this on the Gradle JIRA in case it is a bug][2].

I&#39;m working on a web app. How can I send push notifications to iOS users when there is new content?

How can a web application send push notifications to iOS devices?

I&#39;m trying to explore the posibilities with running a native web-app on different platforms using HTML5. Currently, an `&lt;input type=&quot;date&quot;&gt;`field just opens the standard soft keyboard on Android and iOS. I suppose that in the future the mobile OS&#39;s soft keyboards will include date pickers and such - just as `&lt;select&gt;` invokes the native select today.

Since this isn&#39;t implemented on either Android or iOS, but is implemented in native UI, is it possible for a web-app to invoke the native date picker, i.e. when clicked on?

This would make it possible for us to stop using JavaScript libraries like jQuery mobile and YUI.

If my question is in any way unclear, please tell me. Thank you in advance :-)

How can I test an iOS application on my iPod Touch without registering for the Apple Developer Program or jailbreaking my iPod?

Neither is a viable option at the moment.

I&#39;d like to test on the device itself instead of the onscreen simulator to see how it performs on an actual iPod.

How do you change the text of the button and disable a button in iOS?


change text of button and disable button in iOS

I know you can do this with a UIImageView, but can it be done to a UIImage?  I want to have the animation images array property of a UIImageView to be an array of the same image but with different opacities.  Thoughts?

How to set the opacity/alpha of a UIImage?

I am loading an image to an imageview with mode as &#39;Aspect Fit&#39;. I need to know the size to which my image is being scaled to. Please help.

How to know the image size after applying aspect fit for the image in an UIImageView

I&#39;m trying to draw some thumbnail images at a fixed size (100x100) using `UIImageView`. I&#39;ve set the frame size of my image view to be 100x100, and set the `contentMode` to `UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill`.

My understanding is that this should cause the image to be drawn at the size I set, and the image will fill the area of the image, and clip any portions of the image that are outside the size I set for the image view. However, the image is still drawn larger or smaller than the 100x100 size that I set for it.

If I set the `contentMode` to `UIviewContentModeScaleToFill`, then the image is drawn at exactly 100x100, but it&#39;s distorted to fit into those dimensions. Any ideas why the aspect fill isn&#39;t clipping as expected?

Here&#39;s my code:

    _photoView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:photoImage];
    _photoView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
    [self addSubview:_photoView];
    
    CGRect photoFrame = _photoView.frame;
    photoFrame.size = CGSizeMake(100, 100);
    _photoView.frame = photoFrame;

To better illustrate, here&#39;s an screenshot of what I&#39;m seeing. The green squares are the `UIView` containing the `UIImageView` I&#39;m working with. I&#39;ve set their background color to green, and the frame of the view to 100x100. As a test, the `UIImageViews` are sized to 50x50. As you can see, when using the `...AspectFill`, the images aren&#39;t sized to 50x50, and in some cases are offset from where I&#39;d like them. When using `...ScaleToFill`, they&#39;re sized correctly, but the image is distorted.

UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill not clipping

I have a UIImageView that allows a user to place and hold an image until it can be saved. The problem is, I can&#39;t figure out how to actually save and retrieve the image I&#39;ve placed in the view.

I have retrieved and placed the image in the UIImageView like this:

    //Get Image 
    - (void) getPicture:(id)sender {
        UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
        picker.delegate = self;
        picker.allowsEditing = YES;
        picker.sourceType = (sender == myPic) ? UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera : UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
        [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
        [picker release];
    }
    
    
    - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage (UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo {
        myPic.image = image;
        [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }

It displays the selected image in my UIImageView just fine, but I have no idea how to save it. I&#39;m saving all the other pieces of the view (mostly UITextfield) in Core Data. I&#39;ve searched and searched, and tried many bits of code that people have suggested, but either I&#39;m not entering the code correctly, or those suggestions don&#39;t work with the way I have my code set up. It&#39;s likely the former. I&#39;d like to save the image in the UIImageView using the same action (a save button) I&#39;m using to save the text in the UITextFields. Here&#39;s how I&#39;m saving my UITextField info:
    
    // Handle Save Button
    - (void)save {
    	
    	// Get Info From UI
    	[self.referringObject setValue:self.myInfo.text forKey:@&quot;myInfo&quot;];
    
Like I said earlier, I have tried several methods to get this to work, but can&#39;t get a grasp on it. For the first time in my life I&#39;ve wanted to cause physical harm to an inanimate object, but I&#39;ve managed to restrain myself. 

I&#39;d like to be able to save the image the user places into the UIImageView in the application&#39;s documents folder, and then be able to retrieve it and place it in another UIImageView for display when the user pushes that view onto the stack. Any help is greatly appreciated!
