Selecting search box instead of navigation pane.

When I go to google then the cursor is in the search box (blinks). But when I write I find myself sitting in the navigation bar. Must first click on the search box first, then I can start typing in the right box. This is very inconvenient! IE does not work like this. When entering the google site, the cursor blinks and it is also selected, because you can start typing immediately.
But with firefox (both at home as on my job) the same inconveniant thing happens. The cursor blinks in the search box, but it is not selected; because, when you start to type, you see the text appearing in the navigation bar.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After upgrading to FF 20.0 (Ubuntu Linux), some of the icons to the right of the Search Box on the Navigation toolbar disappeared - Springpad, Evernote, etc.

    After upgrading to FF 20.0 some of the icons (not Favicons) to the right of the Search Box on the Navigation toolbar keep disappearing. The icons are Springpad Clipper extension, Evernote, Ghostery, Greasemonkey, Pocket. Each time I start FF some (or all) of them are missing. I tried a "Reset Firefox". The first time after the reset, after syncing, all the icons appeared. The second time (now) the Springpad icon has disappeared.

  • How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

    How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying?  I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill.  It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear.  And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

    Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
    Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
    Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

  • Firefox always opens with a search box rather than my homepage.

    I have dragged the icon over to the homepage icon, and responded "yes" that I want to set it as my homepage. It always opens with a search box instead. http://www.searchqu.com/406 is the URL. How can I get it to use my homepage?

    i ran into a simuler problem using firefox 4 with win 7. browser would not display web address and when you open the browser it would display a blank page. also back, forward, and refresh button's where grayed out and could not click hem.
    after checking plugins i was able to get it working with disableing java deployment toolkit.

  • SharePoint 2013 multiple search boxes on a single page

    How can I have multiple independent search boxes on a single SharePoint 2013 page?  My scenario is this:
    1. Search Box 1 is added to the master page
    2. Search Box 2 is on a dedicated search page along with a search results web part.
    Search Box 1 is the search box from the navigation section in the Snippets Gallery.  It is the smaller SharePoint search box.
    Search Box 2 is a search web part added to a web part zone on the page.  It is also the large SharePoint search box.  
    When on the dedicated search page, and a search term is entered into search box 2, the search term is "entered" in both search boxes.  The real issue, which totally breaks the experience, is that the same CSS is applied to both search boxes
    on the page.  So the smaller search box, search box 1, gets the CSS class ".ms-srch-sbLarge" dynamically applied to it.  Additionally, we noticed that the divs wrapping the search boxes both get the ID of "SearchBox1".  I
    have added a before and after image to illustrate the problem.  
    5/9/2013 - 
    I have some more information to add to this issue.  SearchBox2 is using a display template. The control_searchbox.js file associated with the display template correctly gets SearchBox2's control ID when the page is first rendered.  However, when
    a search term is entered in SearchBox2, rather than preserve the control ID it found on page load, control_searchbox.js  parses the DOM for a TemplateType of "control" and a TargetControlType of "searchbox".  It finds the first
    one it comes to, which is the one in the master page and overwrites SearchBox1 with it's own markup, which is targeted for SearchBox2.
    Microsoft - this would seem to be a bug in SharePoint.  How can we get a fix for this?

    So what you can also do is set the searchBoxScriptWebpart directly in the masterpage with pointer to a displaytemplate. This way you have more control. In the RenderTemplateId attribute you can point to the same displaytemplate or create your own copy with
    customizations.
    <SearchWC:SearchBoxScriptWebPart RenderTemplateId="~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Control_SearchBox_Compact.js" ID="SearchBoxScriptWebPart1" DefaultDropdownNodeId="1001" UseSiteCollectionSettings="false" EmitStyleReference="false" ShowQuerySuggestions="true" ChromeType="None" UseSharedSettings="true" TryInplaceQuery="false" ServerInitialRender="false" runat="server" __WebPartId="{2243C4B0-F63F-4573-B39E-3A60BA773508}" />
    This worked for me. :)
    This eventually worked for me too.
    I was referencing this webpart from my master page but experienced issues on the search results page as described above. When I set the RenderTemplateId property, it would work some of the time and other times I would get a display error from the webpart
    in my master page.
    I had to make sure that ServerInitialRender was set to
    false. @adilbouhouch already has it set properly in the markup above. I missed it initially and just wanted to point it out in case anyone else gets the same issue.

  • Search iView instead of KM Navigation iView

    Hi,
    the guide "How To... Tune the Performance of Knowledge Management" recommends to use Search iViews instead of KM Navigation iViews for performance reasons.
    Can someone please explain how to configure these iViews? The Search iViews we use provide an input field which we don't need in this case. How can a search string be submitted, so that a Search iView directly displays the content of a folder as search result? Is there any documentation available?
    Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    have a look at the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/45bcc1c0-0d01-0010-1094-fe7993416ea6">How to Configure the Last Ten Documents Scenario</a>.
    There you find a sample how to start the search iView with a direct result list, by adding "QueryString=*" to the query parameter for the iview.
    Hope this helps,

  • Why is selected text in the Twitter search box not highlighted?

    Selected text in the Twitter search box is not highlighted. It should be highlighted. So far as I've noticed, this is the only place where my system doesn't highlight text properly. I can't find any references to this problem with the Twitter search text highlighting anywhere from anyone other than me.
    I'm using Firefox 12 on Windows XP Home with the XP classic theme.
    Image http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd329/Sharcel-Bellic/Twittersearchbox.png
    The word "This" in the above image should be highlighted.

    Such issues have been reported as caused by a PNG image with a white color for the background.
    A right-click on that search bar and opening the Inspector and disable the .global-nav .form-search .search-input { []background-color: transparent;} rule also makes this work.<br />
    This works only as long as the search bar has focus.<br />
    Not sure which rule is causing the selection not to work if the focus is removed.

  • TOC, Search, Index not appearing in navigation pane in Firefox

    I have a problem with a Help system that seems familiar with a number of other discussions on this forum, but I haven't found anything directly relatable to it.
    I have a WebHelp system generated using RH8. The Help has window-level context sensitivity. The Help system is deployed on a secure (HTTPS) server. When launching the Help from IE8, everything works as expected. However, launching the Help from Firefox (3, 8, or 9), the default topic appears and the Help is fully navicable except the contents for the navigation pane will not appear. The frame and the buttons (Contents, Index, Search) appear, but the content is missing. I can enter an Index term to search, but search doesn't return anything.
    When I access the compiled Help system locally (not from a Web server), the navigation pane works correctly within Firefox.
    My best guess after scouring a number of discussions, threads, and forums, is that it would appear that there is some issue with the Javascript affecting the context sensitivity and the left-frame functionality when deployed on a secure server using Firefox. However, I haven't come across anything that has worked as a solution.
    Any other avenues to explore?

  • Relocated the search navigation pane from the left side to the right side of screen

    Hello my fellow Americans,
    I am creating a WebHelp product, and I would like to be able
    to move the placement of the
    Search navigation pane. By default, after the user presses
    the
    Search menu bar button; the system launches the routine on
    the left-hand side of the screen; I, on the other hand would like
    for the
    Search navigation pane to appear on the
    right-hand side of the screen.
    Any ideas on how to do this?
    Many thanks, mi amigos!

    Another Yank without a passport who thinks the ends of the
    world are somewhere around New York and San Francisco!
    I would be taking a look at Rick Stone's site in his Skinny
    on Skins and his Scrys, one of which covers the location of some
    additional skins.
    Hope this helps, from someone based in the UK, former owners
    of the US!

  • How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc.) to the Firefox home page. It currently only contains a google search box ?

    My Firefox homepage currently only contains a Google search box. How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc) to the Firefox home page.

    The current build-in Firefox home page <b>about:home</b> doesn't have such extra features. If you need those then change the home page to <b>http://wwww<i></i>.google<i></i>.com</b>
