Find on page works differently

Mac OS X 10.9.3, Firefox 30.0, updated today.
Since then, all my copied texts somehow automatically get into "find on page" field.
And some other behaviour, like that:
I find some text on the page, for example "picture", and find the first one named "picture of me". Then I make it a link to downloadable picture and copy the text to put it in some other places down the page, while saving the text and the link.
Then i push the "search down" button near the "find on page" field (where "picture" is written", and get to the place where I see another "picture of me" text, so i select it, and push cmd+V to paste the text with saved link, and, instead of that, the text replaces with the word "picture", which was in search field. And it has no link. So when i pushed the search down button, i automatically copied its content into clipboard. How the hell does it happen?
I do not know about Windows, but it was not acting like that before, and only appeared after update on Mac.
I need help to fix it!
Thanks.

Steps to reproduce:
# Highlight in page
# Command F
Result highlighted text in the find in page box
Or
# Select and copy in a page and then click Command B
Result: text still in box
If this happens and you have a different expectation, please file a bug with the steps to produce this and the expected and actual results in [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org] Thank you.

Firefox Find on Page does not work reliably in XML.

I'm troubleshooting xml in firefox. I noticed that CTRL -F find on page does not work for finding strings "reliably".
Sometimes it finds something and sometimes it doesn't.
"Strings that are there"..
You can find next, next, if it worked, but then if you find previous it will fail at some point.
(View source, find on page) works though.. but not a native page.

Make sure that "Match case" on the find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

Find on page not working - nothing happens when typing

Have now moved to new laptop Dell with Windows 7 and have installed Firefox again - tried to restore setting but it didn't work so have restored my addons and setting and customisation.
All appears to be working fine except that "find on page" doesn't appear to be working at all.

Well, you wouldn't believe it - I just pressed "Control" key and started typing and there it was. I looked all over the Support pages and forum but couldn't find a solution but this is now solved. Not sure how I show it as "solved". Will try anyway- thanks.

My find on page is not working. Help?

For the last week my find on page thing/trick is not working. I have an Ipad 2 with the latest IOS.7 and when I type my word into the search/URL bar it won't find the word even if I know its on the page. If there is a word it accepts/finds, for lack of better term, and there are multiple of it, it only stays on the first one it finds and does not move to the next. It will move to the next word with some words but not a lot.
Can someone help?

I just want to make sure that we are on the same page here and that we are talking about the same procedure. In this example, I did a search for the words, Search Field.
I start a search for a word on a web page and I tap On This Page on the Safari screen. After tapping the words in the On this Page field I get what you see in the screenshot above.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

ICloud disaster destroyed all my Pages work on the iPad!

I have an IPad 2 with Pages that I have used for months to write business articles and research papers for publication. I have been using iCloud to synch it through a single user account.
Last week, I was forced to upgrade my iMac to Lion because corrupted account permissions locked me out of all my home folders as well as my two different external drives and even my Time Capsule and Time Machine --- something supposedly impossible. But it all inexplicably happened. It took over a week for assorted sympathetic Apple care specialists and engineers to try to sort it out. The original problem was still never diagnosed or solved. Instead, my hard drive was erased, OSX 10.6 reinstalled, a date back up restored, and then Lion loaded as new.
As per Apple care instruction, iCloud in Lion was immediately activated on the iMac -- but no document files were ever shared.
Four days later, after synching my iPad to iCloud, when I next opened Pages I watched in horror as in a mere second more than 30 documents vanished en masse right before my eyes.
Somehow all these files never got backed up in my iTunes even though I had made several recent saves to the hard drive as well as an iCloud back up!
And as for the files or even the mobile documents library folder being save in my recent Time Machine back ups, they never were. The back ups contain no iOS Pages text nor any deleted folder files to restore.
Despite all the Time Machine and iTunes back ups, and despite all the free space on the iPad where I actually did all the work without an internet connection, as soon as I synched they were mysteriously deleted by iCloud.
Pages on iPad was left empty and blank. Replacing the mobile documents folder on my iMac from a back up did at least managed to provide Pages file some icons with names dates, but they are ghost documents, mere skeleton files that can’t be opened. All my actual text content is now apparently nowhere; lost in Apple’s iCloud ether!
This is an iPad which for months I used for Pages work without any internet connection, 3G or WiFi, and yet in an instant the iCloud on its own disintegrated everything it contained! Apple essentially reached down into my device, into my personal property that I own, and without warning, notice, or permission and simply erased all my work; all my personal labor and effort that belonged to me. They essentially committed sabotage and theft.
I have nothing saved anywhere despite being told how the iCloud was a trustworthy safety net, that Time Machine provided worry free back up, and that saving through iTunes could restore iPad content. Garbage. I did everything right and still got screwed.
Further…
In just the past two weeks alone I have suffered: my second iPhone -- a month old replacement for a previous defective iPhone itself only a month old -- experience a “software corruption” that caused it to continuously shut down if unplugged; my iMac and Time Capsule failing; and now this catastrophic iPad disaster.
If this is not resolved with my fiels returned to me I simply will never use iCloud and I will never trust Apple again.
I am disgusted and furious beyond words.

Hi JC,
My iPad is in a similar state, although I arrived in the bizarro state by a different path. I am also waiting for the apple experts to get back with me. I have an iPad 1 with ios 5.1.1 and Pages 1.7.1.
In the mean time, while I was waiting, I found a way to extract the TEXT from a large Pages document I did not want to lose; it was the result of many years of notes. This might save you some time instead of sifting through the raw index.db.
The index.db file is a sqlite3 file. If you are on mac you can open it from a terminal with the command:
sqlite3 index.db.
I suggest you move the file out of the iTunes directory before you start working with it, just in case something unexpected happens, you don't want to lose the only copy of the data you are trying to recover.
1) Once the file is open via 'sqlite3 index.db' from a terminal command line, type ".tables" at the 'sqlite>" prompt and press enter. It should show five tables:
cullingState
dataStates
document
objects
relationships
2) The file with your data is named dataStates, but it has many records in it. I found my data by looking for the "largest" record. Let me explain. There are two fields in the dataStates table:
identifier
state
Your data is stored in the 'state' field and it's data type is 'blob'. (I know that sounds stupid, but stick with me.)
3) I found the largest record by typing this query at the 'sqlite>' prompt:
select identifier, length(state) from dataStates order by length(state) asc;
My 'dataStates' table had 599 records, so many lines fly by, but the largest state field is at the bottom of the list with it's identifier. Mine was:
3|173212
That identified a dataStates record with identifier '3' and 173,212 bytes of data in the 'state' field. Most of the bytes where printable ascii. It WAS the text of my original Pages document.
DISCLAIMER: This method does not retrieve ANY formatting, pagination, tables bullets or numbering, images or other document rendering information. It is just the TEXT.
4) Type this SQL command at the 'sqlite>' prompt to pull out the blob data:
select hex(state) from dataStates where identifier=X;
In my case the identifier was 3 so MY command was:
select hex(state) from dataStates where identifier=3;
5) Now is when the funs begins.   The large block of gibberish is 'ascii encoded binary' brought to you courtesy of the hex function.
To store it in a file, use the the sqlite3 '.output' command and type the preceding sql select. Like the following:
.output binacii.txt
select hex(state) from dataStates where identifier=3;
.output stdout
This takes the large block of 'binary encoded ascii' and writes it to file named 'binascii.txt' rather than displaying it in the terminal window. After the select statement ends, the output is switched back to the terminal window (stdout).    The 'binascii.txt' file is located in the same folder/directory that was the current directory when you launched the sqlite3 command.
6) I moved my 'binascii.txt' file to a windows computer at this point and wrote a simple conversion routine to decode the 'ascii coded binary' into something usable with a work processor. In "ascii coded binary", each 8-bit byte of data is encoded as two ascii characters, it enables sending binary data via the internet, etc, similar to uuencode, but NOT the same.
7) Here is a small python program to convert the 'binascii.txt' file to the text from your Pages document on a Mac:
import sys
p = sys.stdin.read()
s = []
for location in range(0, len(p), 2):
   value = int(p[location:location+2], 16)
   if value >=32 and value <=126 or value==10:
       s.append(chr(value))
sys.stdout.write(''.join(s))
8) (NOTE: The last line has two single quotes (') not a double quote (")). I am assuming at this point that you know how to create a text file using a terminal window.   Add the python script to a text file, make sure you honor the indentations! I named my python file 'convert.py'. To use the python script, type the following command:
cat binascii.txt | python convert.py > your.txt
This method also assumes that the files 'binascii.txt', 'convert.py' and 'your.txt' are all in the same folder/directory.
9) The resulting file, 'your.txt' can be opened by Word or Pages (you can name the file 'your.txt' to whatever you want). In my case, I opened the file 'your.txt' with MS Word. It had some rudimentary formatting in the form of paragraph breaks, single lines, some headings etc. I did lose the data stored in tables, although I expect the text is still lurking somewhere in the index.db file.
There were some ascii characters that were not part of my original document, but they were pretty easy to find and remove. In my case the errant ascii characters were outside my document's large text block.   Also numbered and bulleted blocks run together. Again the formatting information is still buried within the index.db file.
The iOS Pages file format is more cryptic than the simple zip/XML format from the desktop OS X version of Pages.
Hope this helps a little, although you seem to be OK with the approach of sifting through the raw index.db file. The Pages document I wanted to recover was 63 pages long and manually sifting through all the crap in the index.db drove me on a quest to find the real text within the index.db file, which i found.
Sorry for the length of this post,
Cheers

Page looks different in IE and Firefox

I am creating web pages in Dreamweaver, with tables and
images,.but when preview, one page looks totally normal in IE, but
messed up in Firefox, another page looks nomal in firefox, but
messed up in IE. I checked all the assets in dreamweaver, they are
all right.
Could you please advise me how to change or where to change?
Thank you so much!
Esther

Go to that location, and paste your page's code into the
direct input tab.
Or give it a URL where it can find your page to validate it.

The point that we are trying hard to make, is that there is
no easy button.
The largest (by far) reason that a page would not look the
same in all
browsers would be the use of invalid HTML. That's why I
steered you to the
validator.
> I can send you some screenshot of the pages
A screenshot is of no use at all. Sorry. The answer is in the
code.
> I do not have link address for those pages yet.....
Without seeing your code, nobody can give you substantive
help.

HT204053 My ipad stores my documents on iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer, as I used to do by using a memory stick on my old PC etc ?

My ipad stores my documents in iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer? I used to use a memory stick and could work on my documents on any computer and want to have a replacement system using documents created on my ipad - I can't use a memory stick with it.

How do you know that they are on iCloud, the iPad can (and does) save locally. If they are on iCloud they will be accessible via the application that created them (Pages, Numbers etc) and can be reached from any computer with iCloud access by logging to iCloud.com. But you did that and stated that they are not there, so what makes you think that they are?

How to translate my new OA Pages in different language.

Hi All,
I have developed new OA Page in English Lang. Now I want to let it work in multiple language. I have come to know about 2 utilities provided by Oracle: XLIFF Extractor and XLIFF Importer. But i have found that these utilities are for personalizations only.
Kindly give me guidance to make my OA Page work for multi-language.
If someone is having some document about this, please share this with me either at forum or [email protected]
Thanks,
Sumit

Sumit,
I don't think its any different. You would need to use these tools only.
You would need to use the "xliffextract" utility to generate an XLIFF document for your custom page.
This XLIFF document (containing the translatable attributes and their en-US
translations) need to be converted into additional XLIFF documents (one per language translation that you require). Once these documents are created (remember that the xml should have the corresponding language specified) , you can import them into the MDS repository using the "xliffimport" utility, and saved in a separate location.
For more information, please take a look at the "Help Topics" in JDeveloper. If you search for "XLIFF" you will find topics on "Using the XLIFF Extractor" and "Using the XLIFF Importer".

Infopackage Idocs in status 2 - could not find code page for receiver system

Hi,
We just migrated our production system from BW 7.01 non unicode to BW 7.4 on HANA.
We now encounter issues with idocs while loading data into bw from our ECC5 source. When we analyze idocs in the source system it appears with the message "could not find code page for receiver system"
One weird thing is that the idoc seems to have been created before we started the infopackage in bw.. We controlled system time and AS time and everything seems ok.
We did not encounter this issues on our previous migration test runs..
Hope someone can help
Christophe

Hi,
Thanks for responding. We finally found out what the problem was.
We have two applications servers on our ECC with 2 different OS. One of them could not reach the new BW HANA server.
Regards
Christophe

IDoc Status 02 ( Could not find code page for receiving system )

Hi All,
I am getting Idoc status 02 when I am trying to send IDocs from ECC to PI system ( Production ).
Error description.
Could not find code page for receiving system
Message no. E0266
Diagnosis
For the logical destination PIP001, you want to determine the code page in which the data is sent with RFC. However, this is not currently possible, and the IDoc cannot yet be dispatched.
Procedure for System Administration
Possible causes are:
1. The entry no longer exists in the table of logical destinations.
2. The target system could not be accessed at runtime.
3. The logon language is not installed in the target system.
4. In the destination system, no logon language is maintained
Please help.
Thanks - Vinay.

Hi Vinay,
Status 02 occurs when data is not passed to port suceessfully. Check the RFC desination is working fine and your able to connect to target system and also check correct port is assigned.
Regards,
Vinod.

How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

Hi All,
I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
Is that possible?
Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
Thanks

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.
