Various Site Problems

http://jobs.oracle.com/
Code is as follows:
<!-- Copyright &copy 1995,1998, Oracle Corporation, All Rights Reserved. -->
<HTML>
<BODY>
<title>HTML META tag refresh</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http:/jol_ext-jolap-dad/plsql/jol_www_pages_pkg.jol_intro">
</head>
</html>
Seven lines of code total, containing four problems ... not a great impression.
1. Comment contains &copy ... html character codes aren't necessary in a comment, and even if they were, it's missing the terminating semicolon to make it valid.
2. First tag after <html> is <body>, when it should be <head>
3. The content of the meta refresh lists the URL as http:/jol_... I'm not sure where to start with this one. It should either be a relative URL (i.e. url=/jol_ext-...) or an absolute URL (i.e. http://jobs.oracle.com/jol_ext-...). This is some horrible attempt to do both, and ends up doing neither.
4. The second to last tag is </head>. While this is half correct, since the meta tag should precede the closing </head> tag, there is no corresponding opening <head> tag, so the tags are mismatched. According to the order in which tags were opened, this "should" be </body> (which would also be wrong, for a different reason.
[5. This isn't really an error, but a nitpick. An http response code 301 should probably be used in this situation instead of a crappy <meta> refresh. Or, even better, just put the actual content in the web site root directory ... no redirect needed. If you do insist on using a meta redirect, the title of the page should probably be something more display-friendly, such as "Redirecting, please wait," instead of a low-level implementation-specific note.]
Then, when I went to report this problem, naturally I go to www.oracle.com -> Contact us, to find a "site feedback" link. As others have pointed out before [ http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1735536 ], no such link exists. However, in visiting the "Contact Us" page, an HTTP authentication message appears for login.oracle.com. I tracked this down to the "image" /corporate/contact/dotted_horizontal.gif ... which actually results in an HTTP 302 temporarily moved message, redirecting the browser to https://login.oracle.com/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?site2pstoretoken=v1.2~5426~A2B7981364[...]
This is further complicated by the fact that [apparently] this page prompts Opera for http authentication, and loads a regular web page for Firefox and Internet Explorer. Regardless, it's at least slightly broken (probably in at least two ways).
For being "the information company," Oracle really needs to work on how their information is presented.

Thanks. I googled for oracle site feedback, and this was the closest I could find.
I was a little curious, so I investigated further on the http authentication point.
I simulated the HTTPS session, and discovered that, in fact, the server did respond differently based on the User-Agent string (ugh, browser discrimination ... one of my big pet peeves). When I used the User-Agent string from Internet Explorer 6 (Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)), the server responded with a 302 Moved Temporarily page. However, when I used the Opera User-Agent string (or a made-up string) (Opera/9.20 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)), the server responded with a 401 Unauthorized HTTP response (and WWW-Authenticate: BASIC realm="Single Sign-On").

  • After updating to iOS 7 why can't I stay signed in at various sites?

    After installing iOS 7 on my iPad 2 I am unable to stay signed in at all the various sites I subscribe to including media sites, retail sites and apps.  What do I need to do to remedy this.  I have never had a site not recognize me (obviously I check the keep signed in box).  Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Just updated Acrobat on my Mac.  NOW tiny windows pop up telling me various sites/groups/people want to store info on my computer.  What's up w/that?  Thanks.

    Just updated Acrobat on my Mac.
    NOW tiny windows pop up telling me various sites/groups/people want to store info on my computer.  They offer choices of "Allow" or "Deny".  Naturally I just close the window w/out clicking on anything.  Anyone know how to eliminate this problem?  It's annoying.
    Thanks.

    These messages sound like something that come from Adobe Flash rather than Adobe Acrobat.

    What's the fix?
    Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

    What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.

    I have run Regedit and found two instances of z:rc204D Content\iPad Media\Pictures in keys My Pictures
    These were in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\Shell Folders
    and
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    Redirecting these to the default MY PICTURES on the c: drive has allowed the installer to run and almost complete the process to the point of installing the files and putting an icon on the desktop.
    It now whinges with Error 1923. Service Acrobat Update Service (AdobeARMService) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
    I am the only user of the computer and DO have full privileges. I get the same response when I run the installer program as An Administrator.
    What else does it require to allow it to install properly?

  • Problems interacting with various sites

    I'm having trouble interacting with and viewing numerous sites. For example:
    http://www.facebook.com/SmallBusinessSaturday?sk=app_183558821725512
    If I enter a zip and hit enter, nothing happens. It works in both FireFox and Chrome, and shows more on the page.
    I checked java on their site; it works. I don't have ClicktoFlash installed. Latest versions; 10.7.2. Reset Safari. I've had similar problems on other sites, and thought it was them, not me. Now I think it's Safari.
    Ideas?

  • Site problems in various browsers.

    I've completed a rough draft of my family's business site on iWeb. I've successfully published it to MobileMe and have even transferred it over to their Yahoo! domain.
    Everything looks fantastic in Safari; however, things aren't so great when using Firefox and IE.
    Firefox:
    1. The shadows and reflections are missing. Based on what I've read, I'm assuming that's a common problem.
    2. My home page is incorrectly spaced up top. There's a small gap between the top of the page and the background. This does not happen on any other page in the site. This also does not happen on Windows Firefox.
    3. My Contact Form (which I based on Yahoo!'s HTML) is missing the send/reset buttons. This is not the case with Mac's Safari. The buttons are missing in Windows Safari.
    IE:
    1. The shadows and reflections cause the page to load unbearably slow - even with a high speed connection. There aren't that many effects to begin with. The site loads so slow that I'm unable to navigate to other pages and check things out.
    Any idea how to get the site to work well with browsers other than Safari? Any suggestions at all?
    Thank you.
    The site: www.RobertGutierrezInc.com

    1. The shadows and reflections are missing. Based on what I've read, I'm assuming that's a common problem.
    Solution:
    1. Add all the decoration to the image.
    2. Select the image and type Cmd-C (copy)
    3. Open Preview.app and type Cmd-N (new)
    4. Type Cmd-C (copy)
    5. Go back to iWeb and type Cmd-V (paste)
    You now have a single image with all the decoration. The filesize of the image is usually the same as all the individual parts. BTW, the reflection is created on the fly by the browser. MSIE is rather backwards when it comes to this kind of technology.
    And while in Preview.app you can save the image as pdf. Instead of going back to iWeb and paste, you now can also go back to iWeb and drag the pdf on the page. The scaling is very good.
    2. My home page is incorrectly spaced up top. There's a small gap between the top of the page and the background. This does not happen on any other page in the site. This also does not happen on Windows Firefox.
    Didn't see it, but the background on the different pages goes up and down slightly. Can't tell why. I usually tweak until it's perfect.
    3. My Contact Form (which I based on Yahoo!'s HTML) is missing the send/reset buttons. This is not the case with Mac's Safari. The buttons are missing in Windows Safari.
    Increase the height of the HTLM Snippet box. Drag down at the handles.

  • Retiree site problems

    I have been trying to register at the AT&T Employee and Retiree Discount Self-Service Site for several days. The response is "Unfortunately, you have entered information that does not match our records and we are unable to confirm your eligibility." I have been referred from one 800 number to another. No one can help and no one will own the problem. All I want to do is order wireless service and I can only do it by using this site. Anyone have any suggestions? Very frustrating!

    This site is a pain. Here is a screen capture of what I continually receive. Is expecting my retiree discount to much to ask? Various help groups have been great but when you have this kind of sysems to deal with they have their hands tied.

  • IWeb 08 site problem viewing in Explorer on PC

    Hi guys, anyone out there please whose able to advise this old geezer who's just created his first ever web site using iWeb 08?
    I've created my site on my Intel 24inch iMac, and using one of the templates iWeb gave me. It's a simple site. I saved it to a folder on my iMac so that I could test it. All works well viewing it in Safari on the Mac.
    However, when I try to view it using Explorer under VISTA (as I assume most people visiting my site once it's published WILL do) I have problems. Although the site opens fine, the navigation 'headings' which are used by the reader to work their way through the various pages, are hidden at the top of the screen behind Explorer's menu bars. So, although they can see my Home Page, they can navigate nowhere further.
    What am I doing wrong? I'm getting balder by the minute trying to work it out! (lol)
    Please email me at [email protected] ?
    Regards, Dave

    Hey there bud! iWeb '08 and internet explorer work together kinda funny. iWeb is awesome in other browsers it seems. Here are some fixes that I learned of. Im no expert, so I'm not sure why you must go this route- but I have done a few sites and these rules worked for me:
    1) Make sure all lines, (even those around boxes & picture frames) are greater than 1pt. I use 1.25.
    2) Try not to overlap the boxes. On some sites I created this made IE lock up.
    3) Stray away from transparent boxes. Only one of my sites worked well with them.
    4) Stray away from shadows if at all possible. Your page will load faster.
    5) Stray away from lines, your page will load faster if you just use boxes.
    Once again, I am no expert, but this is the advice that I found and tried when I had the same problem. Good Luck!

  • Dreamweaver 8 root site problem

    I recently upgraded to version 8 from MX. My root site is on
    my network storage, and never had a problem with MX. My image paths
    are all wrong and now have just broken link placeholders. After
    doing a little resaerch, I mapped a drive to my site folder, and
    now the images are back IN DREAMWEAVER. My problem now is when I
    pre-view a page in a browser (F12), the image links are broken
    again...... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Actually, the two dots mean "go up a level". The first link
    is a root
    relative link, and it's the leading slash that refers to the
    root.

    It would happen in both, if you have temp files disabled in
    both. No doubt
    you had them enabled in MX and not in DW8. Check your Preview

  • Hang on restart and various other problems

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone can shed some light on what's going on with my MacBook Pro. Since having purchased it in August 2006 (my previous Powerbook was stolen!) i've had the experienced the following issues:
    1. The computer almost always hangs on restarts (not shutdowns). The restart does not seem to complete the final stage and a dim light remains at the front. In addition, i can hear the hard drive spinning
    2. Sometimes when starting the machine (usually after hard shutdowns thanks to the first point) the computer does not boot up. Instead, it returns to a similar state as above: dim light, spinning hard drive, but no screen, no startup chime and i believe the CD drive doesn't spin up either.
    3. The Above problem is only resolved by leaving the machine to rest for about 10 minutes. I have tried removing the battery, disconnecting and reconnecting the AC supply, resetting the PMU, holding down the reset PRAM buttons, but nothing works aside from leaving the machine for a while. Please note that this is not an overheating issue.. it happens when the machine is running relatively cool also.
    4. Lately my MacBook Pro has begun to shutdown instead of hibernating when the battery runs low. I don't realise until i plug in the remains and press the power button when the keyboard wake doesn't do anything.
    5. Over the last few weeks i've noticed the battery life deteriorating rapidly. Yesterday it gave me 15 minutes following a full charge!! I decided to put the battery in a fridge for a while and it seems to have helped, but something is seriously wrong here.
    6. Having installed the Core Duo temperature monitor last night i noticed that the processor was running at 82 degrees centigrade at one point. While that may be normal, since that time it has generally run at between 50 and 60 degrees. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.
    7. Previously i had trouble with the computer freezing, leaving me unable to move the cursor. Surprisingly, i was always able to escape from this by pressing the power button once. the cursor would then move again and i would cancel the shutdown. This problem seems to have fixed itself by resetting the PRAM a while ago.
    8. Lastly, and probably unrelated to the above, the CD drive sometimes sounds as though it is rubbing against a casing while spinning and the noise can be a bit distracting. Also, i have noticed that if i move the machine while burning CDs the burn will fail. I don't put a great deal of pressure on the area around the CD drive and it seems a bit sensitive to me.
    Other info:
    I have reinstalled the OS twice and the problems are still there.
    I have reset the PMU and PRAM more times than i can remember.
    The laptop has receied no blows or other damage and the problems have existed since purchase
    I Installed Bootcamp at purchase (needed Windows for some accountancy software) and thought that the problems might be related to this, bit have since removed it various times and finally decided to remove it permanently recently. I reformatted the whole drive, did a fresh install reset the PMU and PRAM (again!) and downloaded all updates from apple. The problems remain. :S
    Help! I absolutely love my macs... i just wish this one would work right!
    Thanks in advance for your observations/advice.
    Andy
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.16Ghz 2Gb RAM

    Any idea what piece of hardware might be at fault?
    No… although these types of issues are usually logic board related when it is determined to be hardware.
    Am i right in thinking this?
    Yes, you can take it into any Apple Store/Service Centre in the US, and worldwide, and have it repaired.

  • Correct linking within site problem

    Hello everyone, I hope you will be able to help me or point
    me in the right direction:
    On the webhosting server that I am using (can't change it, my
    company chose ...), there is an extremely strange linking structure
    (or maybe it just seems strange to me?).
    When you log-in into your account to upload your site, the
    login takes you to the server/domain folder, where you simply
    upload your site. Naturally, all ofther files within the "site" are
    linked by /otherfile.html, because they are in the same folder.
    However, the server that the hosting company is using requires the
    link to be of the format /domainfolder/otherfile.html.
    To illustrate it with code:
    a) the way Dreamweaver sets up a link within a Dreamweaver
    site relative to the index.html page:
    <frame src="/IndexTop.htm" name="mainFrame"
    title="mainFrame">
    <frame src="/IndexBottom.htm" name="bottomFrame"
    scrolling="auto" noresize>
    b) the way I have to adjust the code for it to work on the
    server
    <frame src="/domainfolder/IndexTop.htm" name="mainFrame"
    title="mainFrame">
    <frame src="/domainfolder/IndexBottom.htm"
    name="bottomFrame" scrolling="auto" noresize>
    This means that I would have to go through every single link
    that I creat in my site in wordpad after I am done in dreamweaver
    and update those links.
    Therefore, my question is - is there a way to automatically
    add that /domainfolder/ part to every link? I was thinking that
    specifying the Host directory as domainfoler would solve the
    problem, but then wouldn't Dreamweaver:
    1. put the index file into that directory
    2. create a domainfolder directory in the host directory,
    esentially causing a folder structure of the format
    server/domainfolder/domainfolder (because when you log in your
    files get automatically placed in your domainfolder on the server)?
    Thank you very much for any help that you can offer, I
    sincerely appreciate it.

    You'd be ever so much better off without frames. But
    <sigh> it's up to you.
    Frames are rarely the optimal choice for your layout because
    they bring SO
    MANY problems into your life, and into the lives of your
    visitors.
    Anyhow - which DW are you using?
    And - can you point me to any page on your site?

  • Creating a 1 page scrolling site - problems with the final section scrolling too far

    I have created a 1 page scrolling site that works fine apart from the final section, which scrolls too far. My site is made up of a pinned headr, a pinned footer, and 4 sections (defined by rectangles - each one 1011 pixels high). I have used scroll effects to bring the items in and out.
    The site can be viewed here: Home
    The problem is with the contact us section, where you seem to be able to scroll further than the bottom section.
    These are my document set up settings:
    so my height is set to 4042 (though I have tried it with 4044 - 4x1011 - it makes no difference. When I click on the link to the contact section it looks fine, but I then seem to be able to scroll further down, and this seems dependant on the monitor / browser size. The problem is more pronounced with a smaller monitor / browser size in height.
    I have tried everything I can think of to make it not scroll beyond what the anchor takes it to when I click on the link, but whatever I do the problem seems to persist.
    I would welcome any suggestions on this, and also any general feedback on the site. But help with the problem first please.
    Many Thanks in advance - I would be happy to post the muse file but cannot seem to find a way to do this.
    Ian

    Thanks for the help. Is there a way that I can upload the file for someone to look at - I have tried your suggestion but cannot find any empty text boxes or anything at the bottom. I have gone top right and tried the upload file section but it tells me that I am not allowed the create the content.
    Actually i'll put it in dropbox and share it that way.
    Dropbox - YESS2.muse
    Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can see what I have done wrong - it is my first time doing a 1 page scrolling site so it might be a school boy error
    Cheers

  • Password protected iWeb sites - problem with login

    This is an FYI regarding a problem I recently encountered. Neither MobileMe, nor Apple tech support or specialists were able to resolve it, but I finally figured it out.
    I created a company website for my client, including secondary websites that were password protected in order for her clients to download support materials for her classes. The passwords worked fine last night, but this morning we could not login with the setup passwords. Even when we changed them and tried to re-upload the entire site, we could not. I don't know specifically what changed, but we went through a plethora of solutions over many hours, but to no avail.
    In the end, it appears that how we setup the domain was where the problem existed. We have our own domain through Netfirms, which we set up to use in MobileMe as per the instructions. In Netfirms however, when you log into version 8, it does not give you the option to change the CNAME, as MobileMe states needs to be done. Instead I had set up the domain to forward to our "web.me.com/company" site. This was the problem.
    To correct this, I turned off the url forwarding and logged out of Netfirms. Then logged back in, but into version 6 of the control panel. From here I was able to setup the CNAME as web.me.com. And ta-da, once it updated on the server the entire site and all password protected areas are working as needed.
    Phew.

    To password protect a site, folder or page when using a server other than MobileMe you need to either enable this in your control panel or do it using a .htaccess file.
    The server side script is the most secure way to do it. There are javascripts that you can use but they are less secure.....
    http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex6.shtml
    Doing it via the control panel is easier but, if you want to go the htaccess route, you can generate it online here....
