Firefox drop-down lists make X server crash

Hey guys,
I am requesting for help because I am having a really annoying bug I can't find assistance for online.
When drop-down lists come up in firefox (such as the autocomplete when typing something on the search box), every now and then, it makes the X server crash. It is really not happening every time but it is enough to make the X server crash some at least once a day, often more. This also happens when such drop-down lists come up in Zotero, and add-on I am using.
It seems somewhat similar to what has been reported here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96137
I am not quite sure which logs should I be looking at nor where should I report this. Could someone help me figuring this out?
Thanks ,
Michael

I am also having the drop down problem on my macbook, it's getting really annoying. On top of that, twice today (i just got the macbook three days ago) my keyboard will just stop working- i cannot type in firefox nor in finder or word.

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Firefox drop down list of add-ons, add-ons entries disappear & must be reinstalled. This happens on my Android tablet 4.0.4. Works OK on 2.x.x

I have the latest version of mobile Firefox on Android 4.0.4 (tab). The drop down menu (from the three dots on the right of the URL bar) which is supposed to show my add-on selections (QuitNow, HomeLink, &Lastpass) does not always display them. If I reinstalled the add on, they will show for a short while; then disappear until I reinstall again. This doesn't seem to happen on my phone (Gingerbread); just on the 4.0.4 Galaxy tab.

Hello,
This sounds like [http://bugzil.la/832990 bug 832990]. Does your affected device happen to have 'Don't Keep Activities' enabled in Android's Developer settings? If so, it is best to make sure that that feature is disabled as it can cause issues in many Android applications triggering undesirable effects.

Drop Down List - Make items inactive?

Where do I go to make some of the choices in this list inactive?

Hi,
It is not possible to inactive list of values from dropdown list. Actually this ship type is taken from BP master data.
To avoid list of values, set default value in BP master data. So that default values is added in AP invoice.
Thanks & Regards,

Editable Drop-Down List

Hello!
I am using Dreamweaver's Editable Drop-Down List
Application panel, Server Behaviors > + > Developer Toolbox > Form Controls > Editable Drop-down
Which has been a GREAT option, but I need to add on 1 option, when I am about to ADD an item to the list, all you can do is add 1 item to 1 column in a database.
Database Struture:
listid   userid   listItem    listitemValue
But all I can get it to update is listItem I need to be able to when the button, "ADD THIS" is pushed, that I can add a value to USERID also, is this possible? I tried diving deap into it, but some certains things I just didn't understand that far down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, and thank you in advance.

Ok I completely misunderstood. Sorry for the confusion. I'm afraid I may not be much help on this particular function. Some functions I've really torn apart and modified, this is not one of them.
This does not look like one of the more simple functions to change unlike some others,
Before trying to go into lengthy info on how to break it down, is there any chance the info you are trying to update is some type of default name or incremental name, something than can be hard coded? ..or is it unique like a visitor, so you are pulling down each time? Ex: User1, user2    vs.   sally101, david2009, etc.
IF not, there are a several lines of variable setting and function modification to change at first glance.
I can look into later, but the variables are not even in the same insert function page.
Here is the Key line in WDG_recordsetInsert.php,
$sql = 'INSERT INTO ' . $vars['table'] . ' (' . KT_escapeFieldName($vars['updatefield']) . ') VALUES (' . KT_escapeForSql($text, 'STRING_TYPE') . ')';
but the vars appear to come out of an array in 'WDG_functions.inc.php : here is the function variables being set for the insert function above
$WDG_sessInsTest = &$_SESSION['WDG_sessInsTest'];
     $WDG_sessInsTest[] = array(
          'conn' => $connectionName,
          'rsName' => $rsName,
          'table' => $sqlTable,
          'idfield' => $idField,
          'updatefield' => $updateField     );
This array (at first glance) could be modified, but I can't promise that the vars will carry through because I don't see exactly where this array is being used again.
As I mentioned, if the values you need are something you could hard code and increment, you could easily modify the 'insert to' function above.
I would also toy around with some $_POST data and Session data vars and see if you can drop those straight into the sql statement above.
Sorry I can't be more help on this one.

In Firefox 4, how do I get back the context menu for the drop down list of the Location Bar so I can Open Link in New Tab, which I did often in FF 3?

Firefox 3 has a context menu for the drop down list of
the Location Bar. One option on this menu I used often
is "Open Link in New Tab" -- quite convenient.
This context menu has disappeared in Firefox 4.
Can I get it back?

See also:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

Does Firefox for Android support drop-down list?

Some desktop version websites extensively use drop-down list on the navigation menubar. But the annoying thing about this is in current Firefox, I can't find a way to expand the list items only without also triggering the link right onto the caption of the list, thus jumping to the next page immediately. If there's indeed a way around that, how to do it?

The OS doesn't support hovering?
Huh, In this case you devs are not at fault here.
That being said, it sounds really ridiculous that you guys made a web browser that can't do anything of a particular desktop function. If you guys want some implementing suggestion, Consider these 2:
1. Hold the Caption link on a dropdown menu, make the context menu appear, add another item at the bottom like "expand the menu" or something akin to that. tap it to expand the menu.
2. Single tap to expend the menu regardless of the link below, tap the same place again to access the link, tap anywhere else aside the menu to retract it.

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

How to make default value in a drop down list

Hi,
I have created a drop down list using Selection-Screen code. I have three values in it. I would like to make one of the option as a default value. How to achieve it?
I am working on module pool program. I have few screens as a part of my program. I have created print button on tool bar of one screen but that print button is appearing on the other screens too. How to avoid it?
Help would be appreciated...
Thanks

1) let drop down box be g_dd.
if g_dd is initial.
g_dd = option2.
endif.
2)
by default same pf-status is used by all the screens in the same program
if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
set pf-status 'abc' excluding 'fcode_of_button'
endif.
or
data: git_fcode type sy-ucomm with header line.
git_fcode = 'fcode_of_button'.
append git_fcode.
if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
set pf-status excluding git_fcode
endif.

UI - How to make Columns in a Drop Down List Selection?

I am altering a code from Peter Kahrel "Beginning Script UI". I am trying to make a searchable drop down list that will have 4 columns. So far, the search works and I have headings in the search, but I cannot seem to make the columns for the actual data. I believe I need to change the type_ahead since the array is looking at this data. I'm stuck in the water. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the list to show up as columns? How do I turn the picked = type_ahead data into four columns? Code and Screenshot below:
picked = type_ahead (["bat", "bear", "beaver", "bee", "cat", "cats_and_dogs",
"dog", "maggot", "moose", "moth", "mouse"]);
function type_ahead (array)
var w = new Window ("dialog", "Quick select");
var entry = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 800, 22]);
entry.active = true;
var list = w.add ("listbox", [0, 0,800, 500], "",
{numberOfColumns: 4, showHeaders: true,
columnTitles: ["Non-Approved Word", "Approved Alternative", "Approved Use", "Non-Approved Use"], columnWidths: [200,200,200,200]});
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChanging = function ()
var temp = this.text;
list.removeAll ();
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
if (array[i].toLowerCase().indexOf (temp) == 0)
list.add ("item", array[i]);
if (list.items.length > 0)
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChange = function () {w.close (1)}
if (w.show () != 2)
return list.selection.text;
else
w.close ();

Hi Peter,
This is one of those developments that push the limits of my knowledge-base and when things do that, I lose sleep until I figure it out. With that said :-) here is where I have ended up.
Basically I made a new array for the table data. I then use an array lookup to sort the array in the listbox based on the 0 array item. See the code below. Once it is loaded type in "b" and the list will start to sort.
I need to try to get this to work as a pallete instead of a dialog box. Do palletes support this type of functionality?
var newarray = new Array(
new Array('Butterfly ','has wings','can fly'),
new Array('bohemith moth','has wings','cannot fly very good'),
new Array('word 3','replacement word','use case'));
picked = type_ahead (newarray);
function type_ahead (array)
var w = new Window ("dialog", "STE Checker");
var entry = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 800, 22]);
entry.active = true;
var list = w.add ("listbox", [0, 0,800, 500], "",
{numberOfColumns: 3, showHeaders: true,
columnTitles: ["Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3" ], columnWidths: [200,200,400]});
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChanging = function ()
var temp = this.text;
list.removeAll ();
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
if (array[i][0].toLowerCase().indexOf (temp) == 0)
with (list.add ("item", array[i][0]))
subItems[0].text = array[i][1];
subItems[1].text = array[i][2];
if (list.items.length > 0)
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChange = function () {}
if (w.show () != 2)
return list.selection.text;
else
w.close ();

Firefox tab to fields and drop down lists with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Has any one else noticed some problems after upgrading to OS X 10.5? It seems I can't tab to every field, such as the "Keep me signed in for today" checkbox on ebay's login page. I used to tab to it before upgrading. I'm also tabbing past some drop down lists where you select the state where you live in sign up pages. And before you suggest it, I have already turned on "All Controls" in System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse. I don't think that affects Firefox anyway since it is a system controls option and doesn't affect the actions in a browser window.
Also, some drop down lists no longer drop down. I can focus on the list and even change the value using the up and down arrows, but the full list is no longer displayed. Again, this changed with the upgrade to Leopard.
If any one has experienced these specific issues or something similar please share your thoughts and solutions.

Firefox 3 used to have a drop down list under the back button for recent pages. How do I get this in FF4?

FF3 used to have a drop down list of the most recent pages that a tab had displayed under the back arrow button. FF4 does not appear to have this. How can I see history of what's been displayed in the tab say four or five pages back?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker
