Javascript alert boxes are wrapped in Windows 7 with IE 8

I can't count the number of JavaScript alert boxes I have throughout my systems and they have always made the transition between IE browsers from 6 to 8 without a hitch.  Without a hitch until I setup my first Windows 7 machine.  It is a 64 system that has both 32 & 64 bit IE browsers.
It doesn't matter which of the two versions I use, the JavaScript messages that I have so carefully crafted with just the proper layout are now wrapped.  The resultant text in the new W7 popups is almost unintelligible because it is so badly scrambled/wrapped on the new white background.
Since an alert box is simplicty itself, there is no way that I can think of to change the inherent size of the box.
Has anyone else notice this phenomena???   If so, do you have a way around it short of redoing all of the text in the effected boxes???

HMM I have the same problem. My researches suggest that the Zone.Identifier ADS is still being used for the internet zone, but not the Intranet zone. I too can get an intranet location out of IE, but not by querying Zone.Identifier eg using Powershell. This
issue is present in XP as well as Win 7. It appears to extend to trusted zone ids.
One hypothesis is that this is being stored in hidden form to prevent zone ids that decrease security being applied by malware.
I had thought that maybe the intranet zone id was only present during download - but your experiment suggests otherwise.

  • When my Firefox language settings are fr_fr or fr_ca Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly when it is displayed in a javascript alert box. However, it does display it correctly when my language settings are just fr. Please t

    Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
    Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

  • Required = true, but Javascript alert boxes Does Not fire ?

    Hi,
    On my ADF Form (af:form), I have set my attribute : required = true on the adf faces page. (on the entity object, mandatory = true)
    But when I press Submit, I do not get any Javascript alert boxes fired, instead, I just see server side validation error.
    Why the Javascript alert boxes does not get fired ?
    Where is the setting ?
    Thank you for your help,
    xtanto

    Hi Frank,
    I use JDev 10.1.3.1 and it does not work.
    Yes , the required field similar to #{bindings.ManagerId.mandatory}
    I even try to change it to 'true', still no Java script alert, just the server side error.
    What is the possibility ?
    Thank you,

  • Adobe Reader XI - javascript alert boxes appearing behind modal IE window

    Hi - I am experiencing the following issue:
    I am running Windows 7,  Internet Explorer 9 and Acrobat Reader XI. I am opening a pdf document in an IE modal dialog usiing the showModalDialog() function. My pdf document has a simple button which will display an app.alert box. The problem is that the alert box now appears in the back of the modal dialog, something it did not do before the upgrade to Reader version XI. This means that the user is forced to move the modal dialog out of the way to see and to click "OK" on the alert box.
    It doesn't seem like this is limited to app.alert boxes either. I tested on a new WIN7 machine and installed Reader XI. Making sure not to have opened Reader XI, I opened my pdf file in the modal window and it brought up the Reader XI EULA window and it was behind the modal dialog as well.
    Any help would be appreciated, I've tested on multiple machines and the problem seems to be with Reader XI & Internet Explorer 9, running on a Win7 OS. Thanks.

    Hello me_339,
    Yes, I'm also seeing the same behavior in Reader XI, and in Reader X, it works just fine. For the time being, uncheck 'Enable Protected Mode at startup' from 'Preferences > Security (Enhanced)' to avoid this situation.

  • Javascript alert boxes?

    I'm looking to incorporate an alert box which launches when a
    user clicks on exit to confirm the click. Is there an easy way to
    do this within Captivate 2's "execute javascript" command?

    In general, you can close a window with JavaScript but my
    understanding is that it can't be done at all in Firefox 2.x unless
    the window you're trying to close was originally created using
    JavaScript. This would be a deal-breaker for most general-purpose
    solutions.
    If you're sure you only have to deal with IE, then there are
    some ideas in
    this discussion
    thread that might work for you.
    When testing such solutions, it's a good idea to run your
    files from the environment they will ultimately be accessed from
    (i.e., a Web server). Unless you monkey with your IE security
    settings, running JavaScript-enhanced Captivate files from the
    local machine will result in false negatives due to browser
    security restrictions.

  • Acrobat v9 JavaScript Alert Box - any way to add space or line break after each array item?

    I have a Document level Javascript used to identify blank required fields and is triggered on document actions, Print and Save. The script identifies the blank required fields, counts them, and outputs to an Alert box indicating the number of required fields blank and lists the fields by tooltip name. The script identifies the required fields by an asterisk at the end of each tool tip.
    My question is there any way to add a space or a line break after the comma for each listed item?
    Here is an image of the output where the listed items are all run together.
    Here is the code:
    function validateFields()
    //a counter for the number of empty fields
    var flg = 0
    // count all the form fields
    var n = this.numFields
    //create an array to contain the names of required fields
    //if they are determined to be empty
    var fArr = new Array();
    //loop through all fields and check for those that are required
    // all fields that have a '*' in their tool tip are required
    for(var i = 0;i<n;i++){
    var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    var f = this.getField(fn);
    //tool tip is the fields\'s 'userName' property;
    var tt = f.userName
    //test for the '*';
    if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue){
    //increment the counter of empty fields;
    flg++;
    //add the fields userName (tool tip) to the list of empty field names;
    fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
    //now display a message if there are empty fields
    if(flg>0){
    app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
    else{
    this.print();

    Thank you! The alert box array items now have a line break, image below.  You know you have made my day and possibly several weeks as now I have more understanding about how to apply everything I have been reading in the Acrobat JavaScript guide and of course as soon as you pointed out using a "join", that triggered some old-days of working with Access and SQL queries.
    I will work on the required attribute to see how I might reference it.  I am laughing at myself now - good luck to me in figuring it out as I was very stick-in-the-mud regarding the line break issue.
    Thanks again and here is the result of the updated code:

  • Bug: error message in error console if i reload a page while a javascript alert() box is displayed.

    bug: i have an alert("haha"); displayed from an inpage button with javascript, and while the alert message is still open, if i do a refresh i get this error in the error console:
    Timestamp: 2/5/2012 12:27:27 μμ
    Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "prompt aborted by user" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: resource:///components/nsPrompter.js :: openTabPrompt :: line 457" data: no]
    it happens on every site that shows an alert dialogue box
    online example:
    [http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_alert w3schools example]
    press the "show alert box" button and as the alert box is open do a page refresh.

    I didn't realize you could reload in that situation; I thought alert() was application modal. Hmmm...
    In Firefox 13 beta 4 on Windows 7 I still see the error:
    Timestamp: 5/22/2012 7:41:13 PM<br>
    Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "prompt aborted by user" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: resource:///components/nsPrompter.js :: openTabPrompt :: line 457" data: no]
    I don't think it has any negative consequence. Did you just want to get it on someone's list to look at, or is it a problem for your page/application?
    I looked in Bugzilla briefly and these sound related:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655181 Bug 655181 – modal dialog (e.g. via window.alert()) opened with meta refresh tag refresh page in background causes this uncaught exception: "prompt aborted by user" .. resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js]
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717248 Bug 717248 – Pressing backspace on alert() modal closes alert and triggers "back" functionality without firing onkeydown]
    Both note the error when navigating the tab in different ways with the alert displayed. But... not much attention to them so far.

  • I had a Javascript 'alert' box appear on a page I am developing, and clicked on the tickbox to hide further dialogue boxes from that page. Now I want to see the alert boxes again, but I can't find a way to make them appear. Please can anyone advise?

    I have tried the following so far:-
    * Restart Firefox
    * Erase all cookies for the webpage under deveopment
    * Search 'Options' for an applicable setting
    * Looked in about:config for an applicable setting

    Firefox 7.0.1 wiped out ability
    * to test JavaScript from the location bar, say goodbye to JavaScript tutorials
    * invoke JavaScript in any manner from the location bar, either directly or with a keyword shortcut.
    * resize or move windows with JavaScript
    See bug references in

    As a result
    *I can no longer place windows on screen where and how I want them.
    *Can no longer test/modify/fix at the location bar from code such as in the MozillaZine page above.

  • Box in a main window  with a header text in it

    Hi Abapers,
    I am new to sapscripts and have got an issue where a box  in the main window of the first page is not getting printed in the next page when the data is flowing to the next page .
    below is the code in the main window.
    BOX FRAME 10 TW HEIGHT 7 MM

    *BOX YPOS 26 MM FRAME 10 TW HEIGHT 10 MM

        Description                                              Value in &bkpf-waers&
    i have the same code in the main  window of the next page also
    what may be the problem here ?
    Thanks in advance .

    Hi Sai Ram,
    There is no condition palced before the box statement.
    The next page also has a main window designed similar to the first page and an additional address window and a footer .
    This page is printed as the last page and contains the page  as required , the problem is that all the other  pages which contain the data flowing from the first page donot contain the box header as desired .
    Please let me know if the requirement is not clear ,  i will try and put it in a better way .

  • Alert Box Displayed twice in response AJAX on Windows Mobile 2003

    Hi,
    I'm using AJAX in my application. In the inital page of app, I request by AJAX a one verification and in the response is displayed a alert box.
    Windows Mobile 5.0 shows perfectly this alert box. But on Windows Mobile 2003, is displayed two alert box with the same response.
    AnyIdea?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Bruno

    Hi Bruno Ambrozio ,
    Just to understand AJAX's Open() method...
    We use open() method before sending the request to the server and this takes 3 arguments.
    - The first argument defines which method to use when sending the request  (GET  or POST).
      - The second, specifies the URL of the server-side script.
    -  The third, specifies that the request should be handled asynchronously.
    Since your problem was solved by changing the third argument may be the server action and the local script action are not synchronous coz of the variation of the processing speed in Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 2003...
    Cheers,

  • Use alert box in javascript using xsl:message in Xalan

    There appears to be a xsl:message tag in XSLT. According to W3C, the implementation is dependent on the XSLT transformer.
    However, this tag output the message to my console.
    I would on the other hand like to output the message
    in a javascript alert box. I am using jaxp 1.1, the XSLT
    transformer is Xalan.
    Thanks in advance,
    taybw

    As you surely know, Xalan is running on the server. That's why the <xsl:message> appears there. As far as I know, the only options available to XSLT implementors are whether the message will appear or not, or possibly whether it will end the translation abnormally.
    Presumably you have Xalan producing HTML that will be rendered on the browser. If that's the case, then just replace the <xsl:message> element by some Javascript code that will pop up the alert box as soon as the browser loads the page you are writing.

  • Ios 7 javascript alert

    I have a weird issue with IOS 7 on both iPhone and iPad.  When a javascript alert box is displayed, the message is shown with an OK button.  Clicking the button does nothing.  The modal window freezes Safari and I have to close it down and reopen to clearn the alert box.  I've tried about everything, but nothing works except closing Safari.
