Characters not displaying in some browsers

This is another Unicode issue, but as far as I can tell I have all of the correct file transfer settings.
In MS Internet Explorer 6 and also Firefox 3.6.3 (both Windows versions running on Win XP) some unicode characters fail to display. The math 'times' symbol fails on both. The Greek lower case letter phi fails on Explorer but is okay on Firefox. Both browsers correctly recognize that the text encoding is utf8.
Everything displays just fine on the Mac version in both Firefox and Safari. So, I assume the files reached Server okay and that the server is working fine.
If I was using any other web publishing software I could use html escape characters × and Greek letters, but there appears to be no way of doing this on iWeb. As a temporary fix I will change the times symbol to the letter 'x' but I'm not sure what I can do about the phi and any other odd characters that may crop up in the future.
Any suggestions?

It's possible your problem could caused by lack of proper fonts on the machines you are testing, especially if Firefox 3 does not show ×. In that case using html escapes would not help. You could test this by creating a test page with the escapes and seeing if they work.
Could you provide the url of the page where this is happening so I can see what is going on?

Background nav image not displaying in some browsers...

Hi,

You have applied a height of "auto"to your menubar container, which gives it no height at all in some browsers. If you have a clue what height you would like to display for your menubar, give it, instead of:
    <div style="height: auto;" id="p7PMM_1" class="p7PMMh04">
Better yet, leave it in the CSS file, where you will find it when you go looking for it. You already assign a height there:
.p7PMMh04 {
    width: auto;
    height: 20px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: bold;
    background-image: url(http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgigandet/trinity/img/new_bk.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-color: #000;
    text-align: left;
    line-height: normal;
Because your inline style of height:auto; has more proximity (is closer) to the element being styled, it overrides the style in the stylesheet and applies the height: auto; instead of allowing the height: 20px;

Navigation & Photo Page not displaying within some browsers

Hello,
I am using iWeb '08 and am having great difficulties trying to get my site cross browser compatible. The site is working perfectly on the Mac in Firefox 2 & Safari but not Firefox 3. It is also not displaying correctly in Firefox 2.0.0.13 and IE7 on my WinXP machine. Unfortunately the error is not just a cosmetic issue. The Main Navigation is not displaying on any page and only shows a bullet point where it is meant to be. The other error occurs in the Photo Template and the photos are not displaying. I am using a "Version 1 template" and did a test with a "version 2" template that provided the same errors.
Has anyone else had these problems???

Some images not displaying in some browsers

Hi,
I'm creating a newsletter in Dreamweaver using the design view.
The finished thing works perfectly in Internet Explorer but when I view it in Firefox or Safari certain images are not displaying. There's no red cross or sign at all of why they're missing. They do however show as attachments at the bottom of the email.
The code appears to be fine and all the images were uploaded in the same way, so can't think why some won't appear while others will. The only thing the missing images have in common is that they're all left aligned so the text wraps around them.
I've been trying to fix this for ages and tearing my hair out. Any help greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Um, I can't seem to find it on the server, which can't be a good sign ) - :
Have no idea why it's not appearing where it should but if I can get a link to work I'll send it to you.
Thanks for your help

Problems with Turkish characters not displaying correctly

A user is having problems with certain Turkish characters in particular fonts not displaying correctly (as shown below).
The two fonts (Gill Sans and Helvetica LT CondensedLight) are used for English language marketing material. Ideally, for continuity, the same font would be preferred for our Turkish language marketing material rather than changing it to a similar font.
Helvetica LT CondensedLight
Turkish character “ İ ” does not display correctly in either Word or InDesign.
Gill Sans
Turkish characters “ ş ” and “ ğ ” display correctly in Word but not InDesign.
My questions are:
1. For Gill Sans, why are the characters not displaying in InDesign but are in Word?
2. I've noticed here: http://www.webtype.com/font/gill-sans-family/#glyphs-tab that the required characters are available within the Gill Sans font. Is this because the font is newer and includes the additional characters? Would this work in InDesign?

One of the big differences between InDesign and Word is that Word will happily substitute glyphs without telling you. So, unless your installs of Word and of InDesign are using different versions of Gill Sans (which is possible, BTW) then your s-with-cedilla and your g-with-macron are actually not in Gill Sans but in some other font. I'm guessing Arial.
It's possible that you have more than one Gill Sans installed (e.g. one in your Document Fonts folder and another in your system fonts folder) that have different glyph complements. Gill Sans has been around a long time, and the version I have from the 90s has no Turkish support whatsoever.
As far as the capital-I-with-dot, you can check your glyph coverage in a variety of ways. In both InDesign and Word, you can open up a window that shows you all of the glyphs in a font. In InDesign, find it in Type -> Glyphs. In Word, it's called "Insert Symbol" and you can find it in Word 2010 by going to Insert -> Symbol -> More Symbols. I am guessing that the answer to this question is simply that your cut of Helvetica LT has no cap-I-with-dot. You'd need to pick a font that actually has support for Turkish. On WIndows, I use a very full-featured freebie called BabelMap to check font coverage. They have a Web version here:
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/babelmap.html
but I personally prefer the downloadable .exe file.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

The issue is resolved. It was because of updating the IE version from 6 to 7.

kindly, make sure that you add the font path into your FORMS_PATH in regestery (if you are using windows) also put your font mapping ubder [ PDF:Subset ]
for example:

Muse site not visible on some browsers

I have created a MUSE website for one pf my clients and they tell me it is not visible on some browsers but did not specify on which it did not show.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have asked but had no response yet. My research tells me that the probable issue is with IE9 and older that aren't compatible with HTML5 or CSS3. Is that right? if so it is a Microsoft issue and people using old incompatible browsers.
What do you think? The site works just fine on Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

Foreign characters not displaying

Hi... I am developing a web app that includes a database of world cities, many of which have foreign characters in their names. The MySQL database is displaying the characters correctly, but when it comes to displaying them in drop down menus, the foreign characters are displayed as blank boxes.
The application is a J2EE Java app.
In the index.jsp file, in the html section, I have specified various types of character sets, including the standard iso-8859-1 and utf-8, but none make a difference.
The home page with the drop-down menus is at www.your-astrology-report.com/index.jsp. From the pull-down menus, select "International", then "Greece", then "NON-ENGLISH FIRST LETTERS" and you'll see what I mean.
The database code that puts the city names into the drop down menu is as follows, although as a fragment, it's incomplete.
try{
     out.print("<select name='city'>");
     out.println("<option value='0'>Select Birth Town - Check Region!</option>");
     if(letter.equals("?")){
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city NOT RLIKE '^[A-Z]' order by city";
     } else {
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city LIKE '"+letter+"%' order by city";//city begins with letter
     ResultSet rst=execute_sql_query(q);
     int count=0;
     while(rst.next()){
          out.println("<option value='"+count+"'>"+rst.getString("city")+" - "+rst.getString("subdiv")+" "+SubDiv+"</option>");
          count++;
     out.println("</select>");
I am very new to Java.
Is there some basic way of telling either the query and/or the out.print statement to get, preserve, and display these foreign characters correctly?
Please keep it simple! Like I said, I'm new to all this, and most of the Google queries I've made to try to figure this out have been gobble-de-gook to me! LOL!
Thanks,
Fartian

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. So far, I'm sorry to say, none of your suggestions have helped, though.
I suspect, though, that the reply concerning character streams (PaulClapham) holds the answer. I just don't know how to implement this in my case, i.e. how to apply this to the out.println statements in the previously given code block. My experience with Java is limited. Any ideas?
I should probably tell you how all this is structured in terms of one file calling another:
First we have the index.jsp (www.your-astrology-report.com/index.htm), which has dynamic input fields, the one in question being this:
<td colspan="2"><div id="cities"><select name="city"><option value="">Select City</option></select></div></td>
      <td colspan="2">Select First Letter of City First!</td>div id="cities" refers to a function in a second file, xmlhttp.jsp, which is called by the dynamic input field located just above the "cities" field.
Here is the function:
function handleCityU(regid_letter_country){
     document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML="Loading cities...";
     url="internal_requestU2.jsp?regid_letter_country="+regid_letter_country.value;
     var xmlhttp=myXMLHttpRequest();
     xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
     xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
          if(xmlhttp.readyState!=4)return;
          document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
     xmlhttp.send(null);
}This function passes the variable "regid_letter_country.value" to yet another file that then parses the variable, requests the required database data, and creates the out.println statements that then populate the dynamic pull-down menu that displays the cities in the original index.jsp file.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO BE DISPLAYING INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS. The code for this part is what I originally posted.
Help!
Many thanks...

German Special Characters not displayed correctly in RTF using code

Hi ,
In my code we are using webdynpro method
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
byte[] data, String resourceName,WDWebResourceType
Type)
Here in our code we are implementing this as
ITemplateElement templateEl = wdContext.currentTemplateElement();
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
templateEl.getReportData(),
reportName.substring(0, reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
WDWebResourceType.RTF); reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
Here templateEl.getReportData() returns a set of bytes which has some
german special characters.
We are generating the Bytes using String.getByes(),Just before
String text = new String(in);
collector.putBusinessObject(boName, bo);
reportDocTemplateParser(collector, text);
collector.removeBusinessObject(boName);
String generatedText = collector.generateRTF();
out = (null != generatedText) ? generatedText.getBytes() : null;
The out put is the if i am giving a word with german special characters for eg:
Betriebsübersichten it first gets converted to bytes and then passes through method WDResouseFactory.createResourse(.....) which creates an RTF file and finally in the RTF file it appears as Betriebsbbersichten the special character is not displayed correctly.
i came to knw that while converting into bytes we have to make it RTF supported encoding.ie for eg generatedText.getBytes('cp1252').i even tried with other charactersets like ISO-8859,cp1253 and so on but none of them worked.
It would be really great if you could suggest the needful.
Thanks and Regards
Neeta

I soved this by using get_data function of response object. Then converting this into ISO-8859-1 charset.
See code below.
DATA : lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encoding,
          lv_conv       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
          lv_x_string   type xstring.
lv_x_string = pv_http_client->response->get_data( ).
    lv_encoding = '1100'.
    lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
                          encoding = lv_encoding
                             input = lv_x_string ).
    lv_conv->read( IMPORTING data = pv_result ).

Hi.
Try following sample code:
Include cmfn tag library in your page
xmlns:cmfn="http://xmlns.oracle.com/webcenter/content/functions"
Use next EL Expression to get a Node url's (are the same methods as a Node in CP):
#{cmfn:getNodeById(yourdDocName).url.downloadUrl
#{cmfn:getNodeById(yourdDocName).url.renderUrl
Sample:
<af:goLink targetFrame="_blank" destination="#{cmfn:getNodeById('UCM676546').url.downloadUrl}"/>
You'll need connection to UCM configured in your WebCenter Portal Application because it will ask for the current IDC connection configured.

APEX tabs do not appear in some browsers (after 5)

I am using APEX 4.2 to build a fairly simple application. I am pretty new to this, but I noticed the following:
I use standard level1 tabs and I noticed that depending on the browser I use I can only see a maximum of 5 tabs. It just does not display the tabs after 5. I of course cleaned browser cache, etc .. to no avail.
These are observations based on available browsers: I CANNOT see more than 5 tabs in IE or Firefox 24, but I CAN in Firefox 17 AND Google Chrome.
Can anyone let me know if I can correct a setting somewhere to make all tabs appear in all browsers.
Thanks.

I don't agree with you. 2 days ago i had to reinstall my system because of a pacman problem. Before this, some applications i use used to have .desktop files. After reinstallation they don't. And also they were not upgraded. Maybe the problem is mirrors, that's not a big problem

Chinese Characters not displaying properly

I pasted Chinese text into a Rolling title but not all of the characters display. Some (not many) of them display as an x inside of a square. All I can think is that some of the characters are not being recognized. If it matters, the text is simplified Chinese copied from a website, pasted into Notepad, then copied again and pasted into the title.
Help is greatly appreciated.

John,
I see that now, but the font I selected (simsun) seems to have resolved my issue. I believe it is a bug if I can display the characters correctly on other app, especially Microsoft. On Microsoft apps, I can select many standard fonts and the Chinese Characters display correctly.
Thank you for the link to submit a bug report. When I get time I will submit it, and hopefully they will correct the issue.
God Bless,
Mark
