Parts of form missing when browsing

Hi,
I have OS X 10.4.9 and am new to Mac and having a problem with browsing-am hoping its a simple one and you guys can help!
When I open certain web pages there are parts of the form which are missing. eg. i have a form for work which is missing a drop down menu to enter dates to apply for annual leave. On all other PC's its there but not on my Mac.
Also on other web pages I cant click on certain things like pics or music or files-(where it says click here).
Is there something my computer is missing? Any advice is greatly appreciated Thanks

To turn javascript on in Safari, go the the Safari menu and select Preferences and then go to Security. Check the javascript box.
What Rick mentioned is correct, web designers sometimes do restrict their work to Windows. It is because they're lazy, but the extra work is due to Microsoft's arrogance in following standards. My favorite example is PNG, which is a great graphics format with alpha transparency. But Microsoft never implemented it with alpha transparency on Windows (they did on Mac!), so a web designer has two choices: go with the cheesier GIF, or detect which browser you're using. Now what do you think most designers do?
The only way I know of to dectect browsers and change code accordingly on the client side is to use a scripting language and the most ubiquitous one is javascript. So because of Microsoft's policies, most designers need to use javascript to check if you're using IE on Windows. Check out my web site http://www.philsmith.com/caravan/ on a Mac and on Windows to see what I'm talking about. There's javascript to tell what browser you have, and the graphics and music are implemented differently in either case. Without javascript, I couldn't make this happen.
So your choices as a designer are to use javascript or go with one platform. And you can guess which platform most are going to choose.

  • Part of logo missing when exporting to PDF

    I'm running ID CS6 and Acrobat Pro X.
    When I export a document as a PRINT or INTERACTIVE pdf, part of my logo goes missing. The funny thing is that our design team are all running the same programs and 3 of our members can view the logo completely, the other 4 see half of the logo missing, I can see the logo just fine.
    • The logo mark is visible, but the typography that is part of the logo is missing?! And it's a single grouped object in Illustrator.
    • We've compared the settings on our teams' programs and on my ID program as well, and nothing seems be remotely related to the issue.
    • Finder on Mac shows mixed visibility in file preview on different computers. Some show, some don't.
    • In the past, I've been able to place vector objects from Illustrator into Indesign completely fine. I prefer vector over image because it allows me scaling flexibility.
    • I have not changed any settings on my program between the time I was able and not able to do this. I don't understand why different people are getting different results on their screens. And in a couple of occasions, it has happened to one of our team members and it fixed itself mysteriously.
    I would like to provide screen shots, but it is a private design.
    One key note to realize is that the logo is completely outlined and grouped as a single object. I then save the logo into the same folder as the ID file (tried both, .EPS and .AI) and placed it (CMD+D) into InDesign. Both files are CMYK files.
    I then make my PDF by hitting (CMD+E) to export, choose PDF Print. On the PDF settings, I choose [High Quality Print], compatible with Acrobat 5 and beyond, uncheck optimize for web, include bleeds, no color conversion.
    I've had issues in the past where hidden layers in an .AI are still visible in the PDF. The .AI is imported into InDesign then exported as PDF... The hidden layers from the .AI preview in Finder, but then vanish when opening the PDF...so buggy.
    Make any sense?!...

    Similar to Mikey's response… If the logo has a spot color in it and it overlaps any raster image (or vice versa), then the overlapping part will appear white if "Overprint Preview" is turned off in Acrobat. This is really a bug. One possible fix is to export the PDF as an PDF/X-4:2010 in the "Standard" drop down—this preserves all transparency layering without flattening.
    This issue causes frequent headaches and confusion in my workplace, especially since a lot of people want/need to hold on to the PDF/X-1a standard, which flattens the artwork.

  • Part of picture missing when printing

    I have Quark Xpress, which I export into Adobe so it's easier to transport to the printer, etc.
    Everything transfers fine and all the pictures show up entirely. When I print it, however, one picture has a "block" missing. It is only the one picture, all the other pictures on that page and the other 40 pages print perfectly.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I tried re-exporting it from Quark, checking in Quark for any problems with the picture. The page prints fine in Quark -- Just when I try to print from Adobe, it removes a chunk. Please help!
    Thanks!

  • Parts of screen missing when played on Internet Explorer

    Has anyone ever had a published CP5 project not display the whole screen when presented in Internet Explorer?  A coworker brings up a course in IE and the playbar and the right side of the screen are missing.  I bring up the same course from the same source on a different computer and all the elements are there.
    I have no idea how to explain it.  The monitors are the same resolution and the size of the project isn't big enough to go off screen.

    If everything else is the same, IE has that zoom option.  I use the shift-mouse wheel, not sure if you can do it with the keyboard or touch pad, but rolling up zooms in, rolling down zooms out.  Perhaps that's it?

    We have found out what the issue was and have a temporary fix until we can get to the root of the problem.
    Seems that Kerberos UDP packets are getting blocked somewhere along the line. By changing a registry setting on the remote computer we can force Kerberos to transmit over TCP instead of UDP and this clears up all of our issues.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244474
    Next step is to figure out where UPD is getting dropped so we don't need to have this patch. We think its the ASA.

  • Attachments are missing in form later when you view the form

    Hi All,
    we have developed the application with webdynpro java with adobe interactive forms, we have implemented adding attachment to adobe form . I have two problems related to adobe attachments.
    1)  once files are attached to form and submitted the form data. Later when you view same form , if you look at the attachments . Files are available. But in the same webdynpro form where the adobe form is rendering has back button.
    Once you click on the back button and again if you display the same adobe form and try to look at the attachments. But attachments are missing. the attachments not able to see till i close that browser and open the the application in new browser. Some thing causing the issue click on back button and try to revisit the same adobe form to see the attachments in file.
    2) Another problem is  file names with attachments. once files are attached to form and submitted the form data. Later when you view same form again attachments are missing. In case, if any of the file name have the special characters like " %, $, &". for example if i attached three files to form , but only one of the file names has the special characters, then the whole three files are missing when you look at the attachments in the form.
    Please let me know what could be the issue. How to resolve it.
    One quick solution for the 2nd problem is , Prompting the user with warning message, while attaching any files to form have the special characters to file name.  what is the logic need to be write, where need to write.
    Please answer to this

    John,
    thanks for the reply, can Please elaborate  your question.
    How i will add the attachments to the form means, we have online forms for submit the data , while submitting the data , all the relevant documents or files  related to request will be attached to the adobe form , click on  attache icon available in adobe form.
    thanks

  • PDF missing text when browsing or linking to a page

    Hello,
    I have an issue with missing text in a PDF file when I try and browse directly to a page in a PDF. Interestingly, the text is not missing when you open the PDF and navigate to the same page from within the PDF. The first Character(s) of the title are missing.
    The title of this page should say Criminal Justice, but the "C" is missing when you visit this link--
    http://www.northeast.edu/Degrees-and-Programs/pdfs/2010-Catalog.pdf#page=103
    This only happens if you try to navigate directly to a page. If you use the pagers within the PDF then the text is fine. If you change the link in the url to represent the page you are trying to visit, the characters disappear again.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    When I am filling a form and have to go back a page the stuff I have inserted disappears. Someone told me to set "PRESERVE FORMS" in my browser. I looked but did not find any likely adjustment. I have been in the habit pg taking a screen snip of my form details, but this is clumsy.
    I received was:
    " Enable Preserve Form Contents for your web browser. It's located in
    different places for different browsers, and it should be enabled by
    default. I'm guess it's not enabled on your system. It will keep all the
    fields intact in a form such as the e-mail page if you have to click on Back. "

    If possible then try to open that page in a new tab via a middle-click or Ctrl and left-click to avoid losing the current form.
    Note that you can hold down the left mouse button on the toolbar Back button to open the tab history menu and that you can middle-click an entry to open that page in a new tab.

  • IMovie: Some parts of audio is missing when export?

    When I play it inside iMovie, it works.
    But then when it is export, either to iTunes, YouTube or MP4 format,
    some parts of the audio is missing.
    What should I do?

    Looks like the 8.0.4 update to IPhoto may have broken its "share to iDVD" and Export functionality. There are a few Apple.com discussions on this topic.
    I found that if I chose "Play each slide for a minimum of x seconds" and altered the duration of showing some slides, the audio would be missing when I exported the slideshow to iDVD.
    However, using exactly the same music track from iTunes, if I chose the option to "Fit slideshow to music" then the audio worked perfectly when I exported to iDVD.
    Dear Apple, can this please be fixed?

  • My iPod does not show all tracks when browsing by artist!

    I have recently noticed how by iPod isnt showing all the songs when browsing by artist. I have only discovered this problem with one of my artist, but am not sure that the problem occurs elsewhere. The thing is that i have got around 20 tracks performed by this one artist. About 10 of these tracks are from the same album and the rest of the tracks are without album information. So everytime i enter this artist on my iPod, only the tracks from this album is shown. Hence, the tracks without any album details are not to be found under this artist! However, these songs can stil be found when browsing by genre, songs or the like. So obviously they are all on my iPod, but for some reason only the tracks from the mentioned album are to be found when entering the artist.
    What can the problem be and how can it be fixed?
    Thanks for your help,
    Best regards...

    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they may not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

  • Firefox don't close when "browsing and Download History" is deleted on exit

    Firefox doesn't close properly in about 50 % of cases. When closing FF, the window closes but the process firefox.exe isn't terminated. When trying to open FF again you got the error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." After terminating the process firefox.exe in the windows task manager, FF can be started again.
    Error only occurs when under "Options/Privacy/Use custom settings for history" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" the option "Browsing and Download History" is selected.
    All other options selected or not don't cause the issue.
    I switched this option it several times. When "Browsing and Download History" at "Clear History when Firefox closes" isn't selected, the error doesn't appear.
    Reproducible regardless if "Remember my browsing history" and "Remember download history" are selected or not.
    Reproducible:
    - after new installation of Firefox (Firefox 29.0.1 german, Windows7 64-bit)
    - with different profiles, even with all addons disabled or running in safe mode
    - with new profile with no addons or dictionaries installed
    - with windows firewall turned off and deactivated antivirus program
    - with hardware accellaration on and off
    I know the issue has already reported at bugzilla.mozilla.org and described at
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997918
    https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/997670
    I want to describe the problem more precisely:
    It only occurs when "Browsing and Download History" is delete on exit. The other option at "Clear History when Firefox closes" don't cause this issue.
    Is there any other solution then to turn "Browsing and Download History" off?

    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
    be caused by the clear history settings.
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

  • Can 3 vertical Radio Buttons span 3 rows in a table? AND how to make form highlight when radio butto

    I am trying to add 3 grouped vertical radio buttons where one is on each line of a 3 row table. When I group the 3 buttons it squeezes them into one row, is there a way I can have them grouped and one in each.
    Also, I would like to know how to make part of the form highlight when one of the 3 buttons is selected

    Hi,
    If I am not wrong, a table cell can hold only one component or none. In order to place the radio group to different positions vertically, you can use subforms instead of table.

  • Can't find photos on iPhone when browsing on computer

    I manually backup all the photos on my iPhone 5s once every couple of months, but recently came across a problem.
    -I'm running IOS 8.1.2
    -I've historically used iCloud and Photostream to back up my pictures, and then I'd occasionally copy pictures to a backup hard drive by browsing/copying them via Explorer from my Windows 8.1 workstation.   I have not yet turned on the new "iCloud Photo Library" beta feature.  I thought about it, but it immediately warned me about losing all pictures on my phone, and I wanted to back them up first.   And this led to the below scenario . . .
    I tried backing up my photos to a hard drive for the first time in a couple of months today, but ran into a strange problem.   (Probably first time since upgrading to IOS 8)
    I only have about 300 pictures on my phone.   When I plug my iPhone in via USB, I can browse the iPhone memory like a flash drive.  I go into the DCIM folder, there are a bunch of subfolders that contain pictures.   There are a number of pictures on my iPhone that I don't see when browsing this directory.  The are all more than a couple of months old.
    I CAN see the "missing" pictures when browsing my phone via the Photos app.  They're both in the Photos/Moments section and also within the Albums\iPhone from my Computer section.    I'm assuming these have been backed up via iCloud, but don't see any way that I can retrieve them so that I can backup manually.
    I do have the iCloud control panel installed on the workstation.  It is logged in successfully, and the photo stream and iCloud Photo Sharing options are all active.   The local iCloud directory (e:\iCloud) that I've set is empty though.  No pictures reside there at all.   I also have a Windows 8.1 item on my "This PC" panel for "iCloud Photos".  I'm not sure if that's using the same directory I just mentioned, but it's empty as well.   Finally, I went to the default Windows 8.1 "Pictures" directory as well.   Also empty.
    Is anyone familiar with how to access pictures in iCloud and download them manually?  I'm assuming that's what needs to be done.

    I am having this issue too.  Have you happened to find a solution?
    I can transfer them via airdrop to the computer, but that takes a heck of a long time.
