Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.

Firefox causing problems with web pages and Yahoo

Firefox has been causing problems with:
Yahoo: no matter how many times I reset the font size, it is always much bigger. Also the "From" box (where my name and email address appear) has shrunk;
This does not happen in Chrome
A particular website has suddenly stopped working: http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/kitten-rescue-cam
Instead of seeing what is going on on the live cam, all I get is a green screen.
This does not happen in Chrome.
I have followed all the instructions:
- Reset Firefox
- Disabled and re-enabled add-ons
And yet this has solved nothing. Iam now having to run both Firefox and Chrome at the same time. This is highly frustrating. I like Firefox better than Chrome but problems are mounting up and I do need help.
Has any one got some idea what is going on?
Many thanks...
Anna

Hi
Thank you for your input. I did try Font size, reset, zoom... the lot and nopes it did nothing. As I said the problem is in Firefox, not in Chrome.
I also checked the plug-ins issue and it seems they are in order and up to date.
Now this morning, the website has been working again in Firefox (was working ok in Chrome).
Overall Firefox's performance with some websites is poor. My health report confirms the number of times it crushes (many times a day, which is highly frustrating). I am keen to keep Firefox as it is so mcuh nicer in many ways than Chrome but it's performance is an issue for me... sigh...

Problems with animated masks and external images

I have an instance of a movieClip on the stage and I load an external JPG into the movieClip. The movieClip is masked by a layer that begins animating on a certain frame. As soon as I reach that frame my externally loaded JPG disappears. The movieClip doesn't mind being masked, but as soon as the mask animates the external image goes away. The mask animation is shapes drawn frame by frame.
It is interesting to note that if I create a Class and load the JPG into the movieClip (or do this in a constructor) I do not experience this problem - it is when the JPGs are loaded into an instance of the movieClip that lives on the stage that I encounter this. Unfortunately that is not an option in my project (since I have to get the path for the JPG from an xml file I am loading).
Could someone please help me with this?

that's a flash bug.

Problems with camera roll and deleting applications

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. On my iPhone 3G (with Orange) I am having a couple of issues which I have not been able to resolve.
Firstly, I have no problem taking pictures and them then appearing on my camera roll, but whenever my phone is turned off, these pictures then disappear. This has happened before and after updating my phone with the latest version.
Also, I am unable to delete applications. I have tried pressing and holding an app icon, waiting for it to shake and the "x" to appear and nothing happens. If I then release the icon, it just opens the app. This happens both with the built-in apps and ones I have downloaded.
Any ideas?

Please Help ! Problems with Web Start and HTTPS

Hi everyone,
my Web Start application crashes with a SSLPeerUnverifiedException when I
try to connect to the server with HTTPClient :
// proxy settings
HTTPConnection.setProxyServer(ipProxy, portProxy);
// connection
HTTPConnection con = new HTTPConnection("https", serverName, -1);
// Post (then there is a SSLPeerUnverifiedException....)
HTTPResponse rsp = con.Post("/myurl.jsp, toSend, ct_hdr);
My application runs in a secure environnement configured by the javaws.policy :
grant codeBase "file:${jnlpx.home}/javaws.jar" {

very very strange...
my application is launched by Web Start 1.2 and use JRE 1.4.1
Any ideas ? Please, I become crazy...

try using URLConnection instead of HTTPConnection.

Problems with time machine and external hard drive

Hi all
In 2009 with my imac I bought a WD external hard drive which the computer says is 148GB formatted. I recall that the hard drive contained folders with files for the running of the hard drive when I bought it - and after it had been plugged in to a mac and used as a time machine, it no longer worked on windows computers.
Now I have used 195 GB on my computer's internal hard drive and wish to stop using the external hard drive as a time machine and instead use it for swapping files between computers and the like.
How can I wipe the time machine back ups and start using it as per usual again? do i need to obtain the WD files from somewhere?
thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Nick,
Avoid the WD files completely, not needed & often a problem.
You need to erase the Drive, & to use it on both Format it MS-DOS/FAT32, on the Mac or PC, but will have a 4 GB filesize limit, as well as other limitations.
One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for your PCs... allows them to Read/Write & Format HFS+, so no need to reformat it...

Problem with driver initialization and associated application

I am recertifying a application suite on Solaris 10. This product works well on Solaris 8 & 9. It contains a special psuedo/streams device driver that allows applications to open a port to a daemon that manages clean up of these applications. The daemon is started by init (in the inittab file) and initially also opens a port to the special device. Synchronization in the driver is handled mutexs. The current problem appears to be that the daemon is started by the init process before the initialization routine of the driver is called that initializes the mutex. The result of the problem is that one of the Interrupt service routines in the driver is called due to the open of the port from the daemon to the driver. The routine uses the sychronization mutex which seems not to be initialized which results in a system panic.
Has the flow of driver initialization vs application start via the init process changed in Solaris 10 vs earlier version of Solaris?

make sure all the settings are same as the working version and once undeploy the process then shut dowm the server and then startup -->then deploy the process and again shut down and start it.this should be the trick

Problem with volume handle and external SWF

Hello I'm having 2 problems.
The first is that when loading an external swf in my main SWF I get this in the output window:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::list_1/frame1()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at audio_fla::MainTimeline()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
But it still works. Its an mp3 player.
The other problem is that the loaded SWF has a volume controller. When I test the external SWF by itself it works fine. When I load it on my main SWF when I start to drag the handle on my volume slider and MOUSE_UP outside the handle it still keep dragging the handle.
The code of my main SWF is:

Also there is an issue with speeds, i have set it too 5ghz and only N. The speed is overall 0.5mb pr second or slower when i send fils. It should be around 5-10 mb pr second i think. So this is not funny

Hi Nick,

You need to erase the Drive, & to use it on both Format it MS-DOS/FAT32, on the Mac or PC, but will have a 4 GB filesize limit, as well as other limitations.
One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for your PCs... allows them to Read/Write & Format HFS+, so no need to reformat it...

Problems with itunes 10 and external hard drive

Hi
I was recently forced to change the internal hard drive on my G5 Tower, and the external hard drive where I keep my music library.
The new external drive had all my music files copied to it. I reloaded my itunes library files (that I had backed up from old computer) into my music folder and I named the new external drive as the media folder in Itunes preferences. The first time I used itunes it asked me if I wanted it to locate all files to which I pressed OK. itunes quickly found the majority of files and I cleaned up / organized the small mess left behind.
Trouble is a few problems have occurred. Firstly, itunes seems slow – there’s a sluggish pause flicking between tracks – where as before it used to snap into response. Occasionally I’m asked to locate files which I thought was a task it had already done - and every now and again when I check the external hard drive music library I find files have been moved from there album locations to ‘untitled’ folders, etc. I can only assume itunes is doing this. I’ve also noticed I can’t remove the external hard drive from the desktop without closing itunes first which never happened before.
This is getting somewhat frustrating. Can anybody advise?
Much appreciated.

Problems with Boot camp and External HDD's

Hi, I recently installed windows XP using Boot Camp, and everything worked fine, until yesterday when I tried to reboot into MAC from WINDOWS. It restarts back into windows everytime, and now I can't get back to mac! (using leopard, not snow leopard) Whats wrong?
Another thing, I have a 500gb Lacie ext HDD, and I can use it fine with mac, but when I tried to access it with windows, it won't work. It will appear in My Computer but when I log in it won't access the data. What can I do?
Im using the HDD for backups with time machine, is this why windows cant access it?
Thanks in advance

FAT32 will accessible from both Windows and OS X
If you don't want to reformat your ext drive you need something like http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/ or http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

Problem with web.show_document with Jinitiator and Firefox

Not sure Firefox 2.0 is officially certified with Forms 9.0.4.1 and Jinitiatorbut regardless we have some users who want to use this combination. Everything seems to work fine except for the calls to web.show_document which opens a new browser window and displays some html etc.
The problem is that even though the client Forms JVM is Jinitiator (1.3.1.18 or .21) when the call to web.show_document occurs somehow the Sun Java Plugin starts and having the two JVM's at once causes a fatal crash in Firefox. Can anyone suggest a way to preven the second JVM from opening?
When the user uses the Sun Plug as the client Forms JVM there is no problem as the second JVM does not open. Unfortunately some users insist on Jinitiator with Firefox hence the problem. -quinn

James,
This whole applet embedded in a browser model for webforms is driving us batty at times. The list of problems includes:
1) Users are constantly tempted by browser controls and accidentally do all sorts of things to get them in trouble. This has included but not limited to using the navigation arrows, jumping off to read their email in the same window as the form and returning to a dead forms session, minimizing, resizing, blurring off to another window and then returning back by clicking on the title bar of the browser and wondering why the form doesn't tab etc.
Sure hobbling the browser by opening with limited functionality is a possibility but not a complete solution.
2) New versions of browsers seem to break something. Both IE 7 and Firefox 2 have their own problems with web.show_document, especially file associations such as CSV and DBF and trying to open things in Excel in IE7.Firefox seems to have less problems for some yet some some oddities like the one that started this thread (and 2.0 opening new windows in tabs by default instead of windows).
3) JVM jigsaw puzzle. Is it Jinit or Sun, which versions? Which combinations of browser version and JVM works.
4) General fragility of the whole architecture. Running a client JVM in a web browser on top of a PC Operating system connectiong to a forms server over a network embedded in a Java Container server on a full blown web server running on a unix operating system is pushing the bubble. Throw in the mix that any of these components can be combined in numerous ways makes one wonder how it works as well as it does.
Still users randomly getting dropped connections to forms server (network gltches?). General sluggishness (poorly written forms?). Periods of users with unduplicatable errors primarily network related it would appear.
General feel that it is not rock solid stable. Perusing metalink documents on performance and tuning gives too much and too general info to troubleshoot so just shrug shoulders and say 'network problem'.
What's the solution? Java webstart would seem to help at least with the browser realted issues but is that supported and documented how to use yet. Also we'd lose web_show_document which is critical (could it be replaced by webutil calls to open browser?).
