Activity popup is closing my internet explorer

My internet has been acting 'iffy' and I keep on getting a pop-up indicating activity. Help!

MS stopped any development for IE on a Mac ten years ago.
Use Safari or FireFox or SeaMonkey or Opera.
Are you running IE under a virtual machine?
If you are accessing websites built for IE, then see if you can cloak your Safari by going into Develop from Menu bar and selecting User Agent and selecting one of the MS Explorer options.

Open Activity in new tab in Internet Explorer 8

Hello,
We are using CRM 7.0. We have a requirement to open several Activities from the Activities' search result screen.
Is there any way to open them in the same session in several tabs (IE8)?
How is it possible not to enter username/password for each Activity?
Thanks in advance,
Sergey

I have the same problem. There are two other problems that might be related. The first one is, sometimes it seems like Firefox loses focus of the page so if I try to refresh the page using CTRL-R or the refresh button, nothing happens. The only way to refresh the page is to hit CTRL-L and Enter as it you're opening the page again. The second problem happens when another window is opened (e.g. new window, new bookmark window from CTRL-SHIFT-B). When you go back to the original window, everytime you go to the tab that the new window was opened from, somehow Firefox brings the window to the front, but the focus is still on the tab.

Skillbuilders modal page - success message not closing in Internet Explorer

Hello,
I'm using Skillbuilders modal page plugin on Apex 4.1.
The plugin works great in all browsers except in IE, where I'm unable to close the success message by clicking on the "x" in the upper right corner.
I'll explain further.
I have a report on, say, page 10, and I'm editing each row in a modal page (page 11). Upon saving the changes, the modal page closes and a success message is shown on the page 10. I can see the message both in Firefox and IE, however, I am unable to close it in IE.
When I inspect the success message using Firebug in Firefox, I see that I have:
<div id="messages" style="display: block;">
<div id="success-message" class="success">
<img class="remove-message" onclick="$x_Remove('success-message');" alt="" style="float:right;" src="/i/delete.gif">
Action processed.
</div>
</div>However, when I inspect the success message in IE, I see:
<div id="messages">
</div>The success message is shown on the page, but it doesn't show in the page source code, and clicking on the "x" doesn't close it.
I've tried it with several themes, the problem persists.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem here?
Did someone have a similar problem?
Thank you!

I've been looking at it, kind of gutted that indeed the semi-colon means nothing. Was sure that was it, and then didn't bother to test it in the template anymore as it ate so much time already. That should teach me...
Anyway, I was puzzled too. Apparently it has to do with IE8 and jQuery appending code to the document, whether it is .append or .before. The element is there and all, but the onclick just does nothing. Why did it work after editing it? Probably because IE was then able/willing to pick the attribute up.
I've fiddled with it over and over, trying to find something ,googling it, but couldn't really find a certain cause nor fix. Putting in the anchor? Nope. Onclick reacting only on second click? Nope. Just do an alert? Nope. Just nothing works at all. I really just gave up. IE8 is just such a headache that by trying to "fix" it in its ways you're off worse.
In the end I fixed it in another way. My template is different than yours but the technique is the same.
I removed the onclick attribute from the success message region, on both page templates. If it ain't gonna work I don't want it there (good riddance too). I changed the href attribute too by just putting "#" in, which is probably just me being pedantic. This is my result success message template:
<section class="uRegion uWhiteRegion uMessageRegion clearfix" id="uSuccessMessage">
<div class="uRegionContent clearfix">
    <a href="#" class="uCloseMessage"></a>
    <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#f_spacer.gif" class="uCheckmarkIcon" alt="" />
    <div class="uMessageText">
      #SUCCESS_MESSAGE#
    </div>
</div>
</section>To be able to close it, I added some javascript in the page header:
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).delegate(".uCloseMessage", "click", function(){$(this).closest(".uMessageRegion").remove(); return false;});
</script>This is much in the way of a dynamic action with scope "live". I didn't want to bother with having to put a dynamic action on each page, and is why I did it this way. It works fine in each browser too, so hurray.
Your solution works too of course, it's much the same. I wouldn't call it a "workaround" too, since it didn't work initially anyway. I wouldn't look further and stick with what works best for you. :)

When I copy something in Mozilla Browser, if I close the browser, I cannot paste it in another place (the browser forget if it is closed). This is not heppening in Internet Explorer.

''I have an example, to be clear enough:
I open Mozilla, I enter www.imdb.com, I look for a movie.
I find a page that I want to send to a friend of mine.
I select from browser bookmark the address, right click on it and select copy.
'''I CLOSE THE BROWSER.'''
When I want to paste that information on any other place (in a document, in chat, in messenger etc.) there is nothing to paste.
The browser forgets the information copied if it is closed. If it's not closed, he doesn't forget.
This is happening on any PC, desktop, laptop and it doesn't matter if it is on vista, windows xp etc.
This problem doesn't exist on Internet Explorer.
Can you tell me if I have a way to change this problem ? To choose whether i want to be that way or not.
Tnank you !''

I know this, but i was wondering if there is a way, a setting which will make Mozilla to not forget the inofromation copied after it is closed.
Internet Explorer doesn't clear the information copied on clipboard after it is closed. And you don't have to make a setting for this. He just remember it.
Thank you !

Launching Excel Template from BPF Closing Internet Explorer

Hello,
I am using a BPF and when trying to launch a BPC Excel template from
Internet Explorer rather than opening the Excel template it is
immediately closing down Internet Explorer.
I am using:
BPC Netweaver 7.5 SP7
Internet Explorer version 8.0.7660.16385
Windows 7
A second user in the organization is having the same problem using:
BPC Netweaver 7.5 SP7 Fixpack1
Internet Explorer version 7.0.5730.13
Windows XP
There is a consultant working with us who is NOT having the problem
using:
BPC Netweaver 7.5 SP7
Internet Explorer version 9.0.3
Windows 7
We have explored all options around BPC security and alignment of BPC
versions on our server and machines. Could there possibly be a
security setting in our corporate internet explorer set up that is
causing this conflict? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin

Hi,
In a MDB file, the data are stored as continuous pages with a fixed size. The first page, called database definition page, contains the most important definitions of the database. If the page structure in the MDB file is damaged, for example, several bytes
in the head of the file are lost permanently, Access will not be able to recognize the pages in the file and will report this error. If the database definition page or other important data is damaged, then Access cannot recognize the database format and will
report the error, too.
In a word, as long as Microsoft Access cannot recognize the MDB file as a valid Access database, it will report this error.
You may check if the file is corrupted or used by other user. If yes, please make sure no usres are using the file and do a repair to the database.
I also suspect the file you opened is not load completely.
You may try the following steps to see the result:
1. Clear your browser's cache.
2. I supect this issue is related to permission, you may run IE as administrator for a test.
3. Ensure that the Internet Explorer security settings are not set to high.
4. May be one of your add-ons that causing this. Manage add-ons in Internet Explorer:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/manage-add-ons#ie=ie-10-win-7
5. You could add these addresses to the browser's list of Trusted sites.
Also temporary disable or uninstall the security software such as anti-virus software to see if the issue occurs.
Hope it helps.

Popup doesn't work in Internet Explorer

Hi everyone
My site is www.caveataudiens.net, in the music section there
is a button called Jukebox which has this code to open a popup
window:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('
http://www.caveataudiens.net/music/mp3player.html','Caveat
Audiens','width=300,height=420,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=N o,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
The popup works fine in Firefox, but when I try it in
Internet Explorer the window crashes and closes and I get this
error message:
DrWatson Postmortem Debugger has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Any idea how I can fix the problem so the popup will open in
Internet Explorer too?
Many thanks

What have you done to troubleshoot this problem? Can you get
ANY popup to
work?

Browser similar to Internet Explorer for Mac?

I've got on-line training for work that I can do from home, but the site is not fully compatible with Safari. Its good in some windows, but in others its bad enough that I can't actually do the work. The application says it requires Internet Explorer. My question - is there another browser for the Mac that may more closely match Internet Explorer that I could try?

Hi
It depends what "requires Internet Explorer" means. If it relies on Windows-only DirectX features, then you won't be able to get it working from the Mac OS no matter what browser you use. If you have an Intel Mac, you could install Windows via Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion and run IE from there.
If it's more a matter of appearance, and the site relies on IE's (frankly, awful) web standards interpretation, then you might try Firefox or Camino and see if they serve you better.

Emet 5.1 had DEP activity and closed Office 2003 applications and won't allow Internet Explorer to open in Windows 8 desktop version

I can't find any answer to why EMET 5.1 blocks Internet Explorer from running in Windows 8 Desktop version. Initially Google Chrome wouldn't work either but after uninstalling EMET 5.1 and reinstalling it Chrome now works. Also it prevents Microsoft
Office 2003 Word, Excel, Access, Outlook and Publisher from running. It says DEP mitigation and closing application. I also get the error that Microsoft Office Access or other applications has stopped working and they only work under safe mode.
How do you get these applications to work in EMET 5.1? Do I need to get rid of EMET 5.1? Or are there other solutions.
Thanks,
Chris

Do you still use Office 2003 or did you mean Office 2013?

When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", printer works on Internet Explorer

When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.

What does that error message say?

I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

Question
I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

Flash Player movies not activating in Internet Explorer

I had Internet Explorer 6.0 and now 7.0... same thing occurs
in both programs... PROBLEM: I have a very simple webpage with
Flash Buttons for navigation. When I load the page in IE, the
buttons are NOT activated. When I put my mouse over the control, a
message reads... "Click to activate and use this control". I have
tried to ENABLE every ActiveX control option I can find in IE
settings to allow Flash Player to run as an add-on. I have deleted
Flash Player and reloaded the page, it asks me to install Flash 9.0
which I have done. But when I load the webpage... the controls are
not active till I click on them to activate then I have to click
again for the navigation. I AM TOTALLY DUMBFOUNDED and pulling my
hair out to get these controls to work. They work fine in
FireFox... The HTML code is correct for the Object & Embed
tags. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! It would be greatly appreciated!

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

HT204048 Is there anyway to use internet explorer with active X on my new mac? It is a requirement to log into my office.

I need Active X control through internet explorer in order to remote log into my office for all my business. Is there anyway this can be done for just this one site without going through all of the trouble of setting up a whole other windows system & using bootcamp that I found information on?

You can use a virtual machine
Mind you both boot camp and a virtual machine would not give osx access

Active Report Viewer not working in Internet Explorer 10

We have many legacy applications developed using ASP and VB(InterDev). Our organisation is moving to use Internet Explorer 10 in the near future.
We had a IE10 compatibility testing for our legacy applications and we observed that the applications using Active Report Viewer to generate the reports are not working. Applications works perfectly fine with the older version of Internet Explorer.
We looked for the various workarounds but we did not succeed.
Some application does nothing when we click on a button to generate the report but some applications throws the below error:
"ActiveX
control failed to load! -- This control is required to use the Address Book and Attachment features. Please check your browser security settings and/or contact PC Support to install the digitally signed control."
We will be glad if we get any assistance on this issue.

Flash not active in Internet Explorer

Hello there,
I have designed a few Flash websites now and for some reason
with Internet Explorer's update awhile back with Active content the
user now has to click to start using and interacting with the
embedded flash. I have designed 3 sites. Two of which have this
problem in Internet Explorer. One of which works fine. I don't
under stand why? The one that doesn't work is here
(www.bourdodesigns.com). The one that does work is here
(www.scotbarchitects.com). I haven't done anything that is specific
to this problem on the one that works.
I have been to Adobes help page and tried installing the .js
active content update and the flash extension but that didn't work.
I might be doing it wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much,
Lorne17

Microsoft Internet Explorer will disable all Active X objects

I wonder if Macromedia have an offical response to this?
Basically, all future versions of Internet Explorer will disable
the active x flash player!!!

> Jeckyl...Simple solution or not, your "so what-big deal"
response to this
> is
> cavalier.
I never made a 'what-big deal' response. Read my reply again.
I explained that it requires work from you as a web developer
to ensure your
site works seamlessly with Internet Explorer (as it now is).
My response
was, rather, a 'whether you like it or not' response .. and
that's simply
how it is.
> I stand by my comment about a border around my Flash
objects.
You mean your flippant remark about adding them yourself if
you wanted it?
That simply shows your complete ignorance of the issue. The
change was not
so you would have an automatic border around activex objects
.. that's not
the point of it, its just a side-effect of the change
required to prevent IE
infringing the stupid EOLAS patent.
> You dismiss it as if it's nothing.
No .. YOU were dismissing it as nothing (or almsot monthing)
.. as just a
border around your control. Its a much bigger issue than such
a
trivialising remark suggests.
> It is not a silly comment...it's reality.
Indeed .. and you under-stated the nature of the reality of
the effects of
the change. Obviosuly you don't see it as big a deal as it
really is.
> I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I am busy and I don't
want to waste time
> FIXING
> a problem created by someone else. Obviously I have no
choice.
Exactly .. NOONE wants to have been placed in this situation.
NOONE is
happy about it (least of all Microsoft).
So now you have to do some work to remove the border you
don't want. Tough
.. complaining about how you don't like it isn't at all
helpful.
> Apparently some people have lots of play-time on their
hands.
No .. we are all in the same boat .. we just don't make
flippant remarks
about it.
And .. despite your attitude, I will give you the link to a
page that lists
the simple solutions as well as links to the more complex
'official'
solutions.
