Firefox 4 no longer renders table borders properly

Table borders aren't being correctly rendered since the upgrade to 4.0. Whereas 3.6 rendered BORDERCOLOR=DARKGOLDENROD correctly, 4.0 renders it as if the instruction was BORDERCOLORLIGHT=GOLDENROD BORDERCOLORDARK=DARKGOLDENROD. In other words, 4.0 is attempting to render a 3-d color by rendering the top and left border in a light color, and the right and bottom border in a dark color.
IE, Chrome, Firefox 3.6, and SEAMONKEY all render the table borders correctly.

Am amazed to see the amount of new code FF4 generates. Is it trying to 'fix' non-compliant html with CSS? Whatever, it's not welcome. At least one old page of mine with a table border displays as you describe, beveled. Firebug shows at least 20 lines of CSS that are not in the original html.
Where is the documentation/justification for FF's approach, and how can I best override it? Or must I bring every old page into compliance? Whatever happened to aging 'gracefully'?
Please don't answer this if you're a cat, a bear, or a yeti. After one day I'm sick of Mozilla's cutesy-poo animals already.

Table borders show up with Firefox or IE but not Safari (Win or MAC)

This very simple site (http://www.brandondean.net) has two table borders that show up under FF and IE but not Safari (either Win v4.0 or Safari for MAC, same result). I'm not an expert but I did the work using Dreamweaver 2004 MX as XHTML compliant, tested every page at W3C.org to make sure they comply with XHTML, and they do (except for my not putting in "alt" on images). I even downloaded Dreamweaver CS4 to run the "clean up the code" command and nothing is fixing the problem. I'm hoping someone out there has seen this before and can help us out. Thx.

Hi Gary,
It's probably just because the border widths you are specifying are too small (or WebKit is interpreting picas differently to Firefox/IE - I say WebKit as the same problem is visible in Google Chrome and that uses WebKit like Safari as well).
Try setting using this instead:
.borders {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
color: #cccccc;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #888888;
That seems to do the trick for Firefox and Chrome on this Linux machine I'm using at the moment.

HTML Printing with JEditorPane table borders is missing...

Hi,
My application prints HTML reports that was rendered on a JEditorPane,
actually the printing is working fine (almost)...
After reading a lot of posts and the Printing API i've found a very god aproach to print HTML documents... the DocumentRenderer:
http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_12/online/print_kgauthier_12_10_02/
I'm having a strange problem that I was unable to figure out by myself...
Table borders and table background images never get printed...
ex: <TABLE BORDER=1 ...
<td background="image.gif" ...
On the JEditorPane it shows just fine but, when the page is printed there's no border or table background pictures...
Everything else is printed ok including images, small fonts, etc...
Does anyone else had the same problem ?
Thanks for any help

The borders present an interesting problem created by the way the DocumentRenderer class finds for printable Views in the HTML. DocumentRenderer searches recursively down the tree of Views starting with the Document's root view looking for leaf views, those with no children. The DocumentRenderer only paints these smallest chunks of text to the printer graphics context. This usually works because leaf views do not usually contain anything paintable.
The problem with borders is that they represent paintable areas of branch views, those with children. When we only print leaf views, these areas get ignored.
I see two logical solotions to the problem:
I. Change the code of the recursive printView method of Document Renderer to print any border that intersects with the current printable clip rectangle.
II. A much more elegant solution would be to print any view, branch or leaf, that fits within the current printable area, and cease the recursion there. This would include the borders.
It would also increase efficiency by terminating the recursive method earlier by painting larger chunks of the HTML. A strange problem pops up when I try this, however. When the size of the chunk to be printed gets too big, nothing is printed at all. In the article this is mentioned in the area of large images. "Lastly, large icons do not print. Java simply refuses to render them on the page. Small icons work quite well, however." The same holds true for any large View.
I have not been able to quantify the exact size where this failure occurs, nor what is causing it. If anyone can tell me what causes this problem, it should be fairly easy, depenging on the cause of the problem, to rewrite the class to print borders and also does lots of other good stuff. I have already coded the new and improved printView method, but this size limitation has made it unworkable.
Simply stated, if I can figure out why the class does not print large icons, the rest should be easy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kei Gauthier

Table borders not showing

http://www.ultimateautoshade.com/index2.html
has a table with rounded corners. This was accomplished using .jpg
images for each corner and .jpg images as background images for the
top, bottom and sides. Embedded in this table is another with
multiple rows and columns to house the text. The table appears
properly when viewed in DreamWeaver 8, however when I load it to
the server the table disappears. An example of what you should see
is at another site I built:
http://www.morrisonvein.com.
Note the multiple round corner tables display properly there.
The images in question are tbl_XX.jpg in the code attached.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Try to tak ethe printout of the pdf preview .
you may see the table borders as some times grpahics wont load properly but you can see if you print the output.
If not you have to again design the whole template without using the old one then it will work.

Print long internal table in smartform, error SSFCOMPOSER250

Hi experts,
In VL03N i'm getting this error SSFCOMPOSER250 (Table row is larger than 176 cm) when printing a long internal table containing item's serial numbers. The item has 1000 serial numbers, and they are passed to the smartform in an internal table. I tried to separate in different rows, each one with 200 serial numbers but when printing the 3rd block the message appears again.
Is it possible to print this table in the smartofrm ??
thanks in advance,
María

I used SERIAL_LS_PRINT to get the serial numbers and then PROCESS_SERIALS_FOR_PRINT and got this:
( 768790876 - 768791875 )
But I need to print all the serial numbers, not an interval..

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.
Let us know if this fixed your problem!

After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.

Firefox no longer plays QT movies

Firefox no longer will play any QuickTime movies. If I try to play an embedded QuickTime movie on any page, Firefox displays a bar at the top saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." I have no problems in Internet Explorer. If I click the "Install Missing Plugins" button, it says the "Apple Quicktime" plugin is available. When I go to the next page of the prompt, it says it's "not available" and links me to download QuickTime (which I already have) from Apple. I've already tried re-installing QuickTime. It did not help.
I currently have QuickTime 7.6.4. Everything worked fine before two updates ago when I updated iTunes and QuickTime together, then immediately had problems. A family member helped me fix a problem causing me to get an error message each time I started the computer saying it couldn't find "iTunes Helper Application." I fixed a problem on my own where QuickTime files no longer had their distinctive QuickTime icons, but a generic Windows-doesn't-know-what-file-type-this-is icon. My PictureViewer also wouldn't open, but now mysteriously does.
My theory is that somehow Windows forgot where certain QuickTime files are whenever it updated that time. I'm guessing somehow it forgot where the QuickTime plugin for Firefox is. But I do not know how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

It might be worth trying an update to QuickTime 7.6.5, jmv. Certain issues relating to the way QuickTime handles playing movies in web browsers were addressed by that update, and the 7.6.5 update also contains a newer version of *Apple Application Support,* which contains a number of dlls used by QuickTime:

Do you have any better luck with a 7.6.5 in place?

The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

Question
The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

As of this morning, Firefox no longer opens .doc files

Firefox 5
At first I thought it was a problem on my machine, but then tried firefox on a completely separate computer and have the same problem.
As of this morning, Firefox no longer sends .doc files to Word. It asks whether you want to save or find a program to open with. This is only firefox - the files open fine in explorer and all other browsers. And being this just started today on two completely different machines, the problem must be firefox in some way.
The .doc file extensions do not show up in Options > Applications.
Files do not open up directly from a website, or from the "Downloads" list. The same files opened fine yesterday.
VERY aggravating - I have to switch to another browser to work.

Table borders offset in PDF output

I am using RoboHelp HTML, version 9 and I need to deliver two outputs for my documentation: WebHelp and PDF.
My table borders look the way I want them to in WebHelp and Word, single line and thin (1px).
But when we go to PDF, I get two sets of lines, one all the way around my cells, another with gaps of white space.
I think its something to do with 3d borders not getting totally eliminated.
I've added "table-collapse: collapse;" to all my table styles.
Any ideas?
Note: If I create a table originally in Word with thin single line borders, it looks fine in PDF.
Here's how it looks in WebHelp and Word...
And then in PDF...

Peter,
Yes, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I really like the help design on your web site. I researched many looks in preparing for a new stylesheet project. Ended up emulating a lot of your elements rather than reinvent the wheel.
Hope you are OK with that. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (definitely in my case).
Anyhow, I figured out my problem. The CSS for my original tables was using 5px padding all around. In Word output, this gets converted to table cell margins.
And that's what the PDF conversion doesn't like. Take out the original CSS padding--or the converted Word cell margins--and the problem goes away, leaving clean unbroken table lines in the PDF.
Best regards.
