10h	comment	Add css class to WebPart placeholder div Can you post your relevant .NET code? Would make it a lot easier for us to help.
1d	comment	SharePoint 2013 theme engine issue applying selection background color. IIRC, for IE8 you could try the MSFT proprietary filter property. See my updated answer.
Apr 8	comment	How to use relative URL for image in Master Page? Honestly, I have no idea why it fails on your side. Did you try the example included in the link I mentioned? Anyways, it looks like you already accepted another answer so I guess your issue is resolved.
Apr 5	comment	Enable-SPFeature doesn't work, but activation via Site Settings does. Why? In this case make sure all the resources you use in your code are accessible on the production machine. Sounds like there's something blocked.
Mar 13	comment	Setting ContentEditorWebPart ContentLink property to absolute path Been there, tried it. Unfortunately both fail with the usual "Cannot retrieve the URL specified in the Content Link property. For more assistance, contact your site administrator."
Mar 13	comment	Setting ContentEditorWebPart ContentLink property to absolute path Excellent point! Will try and report back here.
Mar 13	comment	Can a sandboxed WebPart access SPWeb.AllProperties @Fox, thanks. Done.
Mar 12	comment	Can a sandboxed WebPart access SPWeb.AllProperties Thanks for the heads up, Amit. but since one of my requirements is to build accessible solutions (no matter if sandboxed or not), client-side JavaScript-based SharePoint 2013 Apps are not an option.
Mar 12	comment	Can a sandboxed WebPart access SPWeb.AllProperties Thanks! I forgot to put my external HDD into my travel bag hence I'll not be able to check that code until I'm back from my road trip, but it sounds like it'll be the solution. Though I'm not sure if the methods write to SPWeb.AllProperties or SPWeb.Propterties. Too bad I can't mark both replies as answer...
Mar 12	comment	Can a sandboxed WebPart access SPWeb.AllProperties Thanks for taking the time and running some test code for me, Fox. Much appreciated! The full trust proxy approach sounds like the way to go. Unfortunately, Office 365 doesn't allow a full trust proxy (FTP) farm deployment and I guess other SharePoint hosting companies don't either. Well, well, back to the drawing board. Marked it as answer even tho FTP isn't an option on Office 365.
Jan 13	comment	HTML placeholder attribute is not a valid attribute Please update your original post with the detailed error message and which version of SharePoint and Visual Studio you are using.

Nov 1	comment	Display navigation from another site collection Thanks for clarifying, eirikb. Much appreciated!
Nov 1	comment	Display navigation from another site collection Mind shedding some light into the dark why the "horrible way" is so horrible? Just out of curiosity ;-) Reason I'm asking is that I was looking for such a way recently without altering the masterpage but rather adding a WebControl via AdditionalPageHead.
Oct 18	comment	Programmatically set homepage in Sharepoint Foundation SharePoint Foundation doesn't include publishing features hence the link you posted doesn't apply as it uses SharePoint Server features. Just FYIO.
Sep 3	comment	Multiple master pages or layouts? This approach will not do what the OP want because it will hide the complete footer and not only the search field. The DIV with the search field needs to be wrapped into its own feature and activated on the main page only.
Jun 28	comment	SPF2010 Blog displays “Alert Me” for anonymous users I'm in progress moving to another country without having access to my development VM. Please remind me by end of next week once I've settled down. Thanks!
Jun 19	comment	How can I hide the light blue bottom border on Web Part headers (on hover) and the border around the active Web Part? See my updated answer
Apr 28	comment	SharePoint Foundation 2010 - Production I was under the impression that for SharePoint Foundation 2010 (and WSS v3.0) a SharePoint FIS license is not required, did this change from SharePoint 2007 to 2010? Also from what I read, if you host SharePoint Foundation 2010/WSS v3.0 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition an Internet Connector license is not necessary either (otherwise I'm getting into trouble soon) when using SQL 2008 R2 Express. Can you shed some light into this? TIA!
Apr 25	comment	How to change the width of the PlaceHolderLeftNavBar to be longer without editing the master page? Are you really using SharePoint 2007? Please update your question with more code of your current masterpage.
