Can't enter text in text fields

I'm typing this up in text edit and then having to copy/paste everything i type into this text field. I had to do the same with my username and password.
I just downloaded the most recent OS update, which 'upgraded' my safari to 3.0.4, I'm running a PowerBook G4, with OS X 10.4.11.
Every time I try to type text in a text field (usernames, searches, forum posts, anything) it starts the 'find' feature and looks up where it is on the page. My previous version of safari also had this feature, where it auto'find'-ed things on the page, but not when I had a blinking cursor in a text box. Any help with this, as its pretty much rendered my version of the internet into 'look but don't touch'. I can't even log in to my email without copy/paste from a text editor.

Hi Nick,
Was the 'auto find' feature added by a Safari add-on? I don't recall Safari doing that by default. It sounds like that add-on is now interfering with the newer Safari - uninstall it if possible.

  • Can't enter text in threaded frame

    How basic can this be?
    After writing one book I'm preparing master pages for a second. When I created this document I selected the "master" option
    I've copied master spreads in the lower frame of the Pages box. I liked several frames on the spreads together.
    Now I've come back to those pages. I can select the frame but I can't enter text manually or pasting. The text cursor will not stay in the frame.
    My goodness. How elementary can this be, what the heck am I missing?
    Thank you for your help.
    Scott

    What I did was go back to the master pages and delete the existing text frames and rebuilding. That took
    care of it.
    Thanks for your prompt help. I appreciate it.

  • Does anyone know how I can create a text field in a pdf document that will multiply a total in another box?

    does anyone know how I can create a text field in a pdf document that will multiply a total in another box? I’m making an interactive pdf for an order form (attached), and I need to find a way for the “total quantity” number to multiply by 9 and total in the “Amount Due” box.

    Hey Gary,
    Have a look at this post: Re: horizontal scrolling similar to excel
    Andy's reply will show you how to make a table scroll horizontally, but it will be tough to accomplish it in some sort of easily replicable way. I am working on a JQuery extension that will help accomplish this, but I have had my time invested in another project at the moment.
    Good Luck,

  • Commands that can be entered in the 'Command Field'

    Hello All,
    Does anyone know all commands that can be entered in the 'Command Field'.
    I am interested in the commands that start with &. For example &sapedit, &vexcel, &vgrid; etc. (OR commands such as PRFB; etc.)
    Just curious, where all these commands are stored?
    Thanks
    Naved

    Hi Nablan,
    I tried your suggestion. I noticed that it lists some commands but not all.
    Foe example, if I am in CMOD tcode; I clicked on GUI Status but nowhere I saw Command 'PRFB'.
    According to a post in SDN, in CMOD tcode; by entering PRFB in the command field a list of all field exits are displayed.
    Similary, in SE16n; there are field commands like &sapedit, &vexcel and &vgrid...
    Please shed light on this,
    Thanks

  • Known limit for how many characters can be entered in the To field when adding People and Groups ?

    I am running MOSS 2007 SP1. I browse to site settings > People and groups and a group which has more than 60 members. I select all > Click Actions > Email Users. Nothing happens. I select less users, new outlook window comes up as it should. I am running outlook 2007. I first thought that the limit was 50 users, but different user selections let me select 51 users as well. I then concentrated on the character limit and I noticed that there were about 1580 characters in the To field when I selected 50/51 users.
    Is there a known limit in sharepoint/outlook client for this function on how many characters can be entered in the To field?

    Hello Amar,
    This is a by-design behavior, not from SharePoint side, but Internet Explorer. The limitation by the 2083 characters in IE for the Max URL length is described in the following KB article:
    (KB208427) Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;208427
    As a workaround, you may need to divide the list up and not send all the email at the same time. Hope it helps!
    Best Regards,

  • HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

    The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
    "Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
    Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
    I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
    Help me!

    JW_Tech,
    Have you changed the regional setting to Japanese?

  • Interactive Report - comparing user entered text field against a table field - the comparison is not finding a hit when it should.

    Example
    User enters 12345 in a pre filter ----- item_number field and this value exist in the table but its defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
    No match is found.  Do I need to define this text field in a certain way so that a match occurs - say in the element or source for P1_ITEM_NUMBER.
    How does a user entered value of 12345 match a value in the table of 12345 - defined as a varchar2(2000).
    Thanks  

    Why are you storing numbers in a varchar2?
    This is bad designing.  (storing date information in a varchar2 field is even worst.)
    99% of the time, when the number 12345 does not match the string '12345', it is because the value in the table is actually '                         12345'
    Run the following SQL command in the SQL workshop.  (you'll need to adjust to match schema,table,column names)
    select item_number, length( item_number) as string_length
    from schema_name.table_name
    If '12345' does not have a string_length of 5, then you have bad data in your database.

  • Can't enter text in certain forum dialog boxes (java?)

    On certain forums and sites, I am unable to click on a dialog box and enter text. When I click in the box, it either highlights the line or the whole box but does not allow me to enter any text - the keyboard does not appear. I do not have an option to paste text either. The text/dialog boxes look similar to the one I am writing in right now. For my online classes, I use Moodle, and that's one of the sites that causes this issue. It was an issue also on my iPhone but I was hopeful that it would work differently on the iPad.
    There are two methods I've found to enter text. One is through HTML and the second is unreliable -sometimes if I click in the box while I refresh, I can get the keyboard to pop up.
    Any thoughts or suggestions? Java is enabled and I've tried clearing everything.

    According to what I read on another forum entry - to do with WYSIWYG editors - this is a problem with Safari. Apparently, it doesn't handle Javascript correctly in all cases. I administer Joomla sites and Safari on a standard machine, let alone an iPad, gives me a lot of grief. So, on any other machine I use Chrome or FireFox. Sadly, this isn't an option on an iPad. We're stuck with Safari - whether we like it or not!

  • Can't enter text in a box?

    I have a government form that I created in LiveCycle and it automatically filled in the correct boxes with a text box.  In the design view mode the orange boxes exist but some boxes allow me to enter text and numbers and others will not.  I can't determine what is different from one box to the other.  I have deleted the boxes and started over, cutting and pasting from the boxes that work.  Help would be appreciated.

    Hi ,
    I guess you have saved the form as static . Inorder to save the from as dynamic . Click on Save As then click on Adobe Dynamic XML forms.
    Inorder to develop interactive forms you should also pre-view it in interactive format . Fot this click on File -> Form Properties - >Preview .Then Click on the preview type as interactive form and preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form .Try this and let's see what happens.
    Thanks.

  • Can't enter text in Message

    WHen using Message, I,can't access the text box by tapping. Address and photos can be entered, but no Message. Is this a tactile problem?

    If you are able to type text in emails, documents and any other areas where text can be input, I don't see how this could be a tactile problem. Are you able to enter text elsewhere?
    Did you try rotating the iPad in different directions to make sure that you don't have a problem with a particular part of the screen? Did you try closing the Messages app completely and start over again? Any other information that you can provide?
    In in the meantime, try a reset. This fixes some really weird unexplainable problems.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When using firefox beta can not enter text into reply areas on forums.

    When visiting vbulletin type sites, the firefox beta will not enter text into the message reply text box. Seems to be only a problem on honeycomb os.

    This sounds like a known bug in Firefox 4: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624163
    We have a fix ready for this bug. The fix will be included in an upcoming version of Firefox. If you want to help us test the fix today, you can download a pre-release version from the "Aurora" channel here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora

  • Is there a behavior that can swap a text field?

    I am creating a portfolio page for a client.  It currently has a 9 block of thumbs and another area where the thumb images appear enlarged when rolled over.  The client would also like to be able to add text beneath the large area telling about each project.  Is there a way to change the content in the text field on thumb rollover as well or is my only option to make the text part of the larger image?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi
    You could use a simple css rollover similar to -
    HTML -
    <div class="imagegallery">
    <a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="../images/rosesthumb.jpg" width="100" height="68" border="0" /><span><img src="../images/roses.jpg" /><br />Simply beautiful.</span></a>
    CSS -
    .imagegallery{
    position: relative;
    /*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/
    .thumbnail img{
    border: 1px solid white;
    margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
    .thumbnail:hover{
    background-color: transparent;
    .thumbnail:hover img{
    border: 1px solid blue;
    .thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
    position: absolute;
    background-color: lightyellow;
    padding: 5px;
    left: -1000px;
    border: 1px dashed gray;
    visibility: hidden;
    color: black;
    text-decoration: none;
    .thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
    border-width: 0;
    padding: 2px;
    .thumbnail:hover span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
    visibility: visible;
    top: 0;
    left: 230px; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally */
    z-index: 50;
    Replace the items in red with your values.
    If this is not the effect you wish, can you explain a little more.

  • How can we add Text field on system form which is updateable?

    Hi Experts
    I Want to create text field on System Form like A/R Invoice, in which I can store value after saving the document. I means Updateable field. Is it possible and How?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Gorge

    Hi Gorge,
    Please follow Jeyakanthan instructions. You may know how to create a UDF but you clealy don't understant how they work.
    A UDF in the System document's Title table is always updatable, unless you define it otherwise or do not have permission to update it (Open the form where you created the UDFs and press CTRL + ALT + B to open the definitions form).
    A UDF in the System document's Rows table is always updatable ONLY if that document's rows are updatable AND if you set them as updatable (via Form Settings) and have permission.
    On a User Form, you make your own rules!

  • Can't edit Text Field Properties in Bulk, tabs dissapear?

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I can't seem to be able to bulk edit Text Field Properties...
    when selecting 1 cell, I get the following tabs:
    General | Appearance | Options | Actions | Format | Validate | Calculate
    But when I select multiple cells I get the following tabs:
    General | Appearance | Options | Actions
    I'm trying to bulk edit all cells to convert them to 'Number' format, but I just can't figure it out as the option dissapears.
    Do I have to use Javascript? Surely it shouldn't be this hard... if Microsoft Excel can do it!
    Thanks

    Hi stecleary,
    Are you perhaps selecting different types of form fields? If you're selecting only Text fields, you should get the same list of properties whether you select one or many. If they are different types, though, you would only see the properties that the two types have in common.
    Does that make sense?
    Best,
    Sara
