Green underlined words causing spam popups in APEX application

Just recently certain words in my application have become green with a double underline e.g. work
This causes spam popups to appear when you role your mouse over the word. How do I disable this function. Is it a browser specific feature? I'm using IE 8
regards
Paul P

Try another browser, or run IE in safe mode. If it doesn't happen anymore, then yeah you probably installed some noobware.

I am getting double underlined words which make popups. This is new.

Double underlined words appear in the text of articles. When passing the mouse over the word, it pops up a little window which says "You've just won an IPad!" This is a new problem. I have gone to my control panel to see if there is anything I can uninstall. Not seeing anything revealing. Can you help?

You can look at Adblock Plus to block the pop-ups.

Green underlined words

I am using chrome on my mac and on some websites words are underlined in double green lines. When I hover over the words they take me to adds. I don't have any extensions installed and I have tried resetting my browser settings. I can't get rid of them. I also get pop-up ads on websites, mainly wikipedia and I have tried clicking the option to block pop-ups but they are still there. How do I fix this?

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Unwanted pop ups on current window and new windows keep coming up and many words are underlined in green (as hyperlinks) and I don't know how to fix it!

Something was hidden in a download and now these double green underlined hyperlinks show up everywhere, and pop ups too whenever I click on ANYTHING. I can't figure out how to find it and get rid of it.

Weird proof reader issue - underlining words that shouldn't be?

Hey everyone, I love Pages but I've been having a problem with it underlining words for being grammatically wrong when they're clearly not. Please see the attached image as an example.
http://imgboot.com/images/arthomure/proofreader.jpg
I get Macrolevel (it should be hyphenated), but all the green underlines are wrong. And when I attempt to right click, the only suggestion it has for each word is "never hyphenate."
Later, in the sentence "Various levels of governments, from federal to local, create public social services." it underlines service and suggests I change it to repairs or serves. That is clearly not what I want.
Anyone know what's going on?

More like you are in Pages has something to do with it.
It can be unbelievably frustrating.
I have just been through an exercise in headbutting a brickwall, trying to get uneven columns in a textbox. Something that should have taken only a few seconds, sends you off trying to fix problems that never should have been problems in the first place, and totally diverts you from the work at hand.
It really is amazing how badly they have programmed it. 95% hit and miss!

------ Underlining words in Final Cut?????

Hello,
I have 2 simple questions:
(1) I was wondering if it is possible to underline words when you are applying text. There are drop down options for bold and italic, but not underline. Any suggestions?
(2) When you are applying text, is it possible to only bold or italicize one word without affecting the rest of the words in the box, or do you have to create another track to separate each effect?
Thanks!

How do I get rid of the SPAM Popup Ad for an External HDD

A spam popup ad for an external HDD came down with supposed Lenovo system updates. This ad pops up every few hours and I can figure out how to get rid of it. There is a check box that says 'don't show again' but I check it and it doesn't work. I am extreemly disappointed they have invaded my system with an ad that was part of a system update. I have 15 thinkpad users and it hasn't happened to all of them yet but they'll be screaming at me when it does.
Solved!

Problem with logging in to apex application builder listener

I have problem with my settings and am posting this in hope that someone else out there had similar problem and solved it!
I am trying to use reverseproxy to access to our db through apex listener.
It's been all set-up and I can login to the application it self either through proxy or no proxy using the listener.
But when I try to login to apex application builder I cannot do it through proxy(with no proxy, it works).
It just refreshes the login page when I click login....
I tried to upgrade the listener to the latest v1.1(using 1.0.2) but it causes my tomcat to crash...
So solution i am looking for is how to make logging in work through proxy..
In the firebug it is showing that below and few other request status as 302 moved temporariry
http://myserver:8080/testsin/apex/wwv_flow.accept
Where as with no proxy it is saying Found.....
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Sin K

Hello Sin K,
so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
proxyName=proxyserver
proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?

APEX application starts very slow

Hi all,
I have developed a small apex application for my website. I am running this application on OracleXE. Every time I when I log in the response is extremily slow. It will take approx. 1 min before the login page appears, then it takes another 20 sec. before the homepage appears. After that you can notice that the application is getting faster and faster. If I stop working with the application and I start working again after 1 hour the same thing happens.
I log in localy, not thru my website, but I can imagine that people that approach the application thru the website will experience the same.
What is causing this ? Is the database going into some sort of 'sleeping mode' ?
How can I prevent this ? The database is (ofcourse) running 24/7. Any help will be appreciated, because people will stay away when everytime the responsetime is as long as 1 min before they can login.

This seems to be a issue specific to Oracle XE

APEX application problem with Apple's Safari browser

Hello Everyone,
I'm working on Apple Safari (version 4.0.5) with Oracle APEX 4.0, the APEX development environment is working fine, but when we try to run our application, after login, while switching tabs, our application hangs with the following URI in the browser
xxx.xxx.x.xxx/apex/wwv_flow.accept
and page is rendered blank, even the page source view is blank.
Our page also carry some JQuery related code functionality, along with regular HTML and Stylesheet.
No idea what is causing this behavior?
Our application is running smooth with browsers like IE, FF, Opera.
Sample applications provided in-bundled with APEX 4.0, are running good on Safari as well.
So kindly suggest, what could be the possible reason behind this?
Regards,
Krishna

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I'm using my own custom made theme also involved JQuery javascripts & functionality on apex pages.
I'm using Safari 4.0.5, didnt checked with the latest version yet.
Yes I've tried it on Google Chrome, its working fine, except with the already know issue, that on each page's post-back, chrome prompts for the XDB Username and Password, which is also a very major issue with my application.
I've gone through various threads from OTN to look out for the possible fix to this issue, but not helpful so far. Have tried few alternatives suggested on OTN, after which landed up in more complex issues causing my application to prompt XDB credentials on all the browsers. Now some how have brought the application back to the previous state, with the help of OTN indeed. Presently my application execute fine with IE, FF & Opera, except Safari & Chrome (XDB credentials prompt).
It would be really not an easy task for me to replicate the same scenario on apex.oracle.com, because it involves various database tables too.
I'm wondering, you asked me the 'theme' subject for the issue, kindly would you please educate me more, how themes can cause an improper functionality on Safari and not in rest of the browsers?
Thank you so much Patrick, I'm partially relieved knowing that you responded me. Great pleasure learning from you.
Regards,
Krishna

CAN'T LOG IN APEX APPLICATION

Hi, I am working with apex 3.2, when I try to login to the application it immediately shows Please contact the administrator. . I am no expert, the first thing that I check was the http on the Data Base Server, It is on maintenance state, but in other application the http service is also maintenance and the application is running, so I don't think this is the cause.
Also check the data base schema and look at the Apex Administrator page and don't see anything wrong.
I hope that someone can give some ideas to keep checking and find the error.
Thanks.

So it sounds like you can login the Apex application builder but not an application that you've built/deployed. If this is the case I would start looking at either the authentication scheme or the user account settings if your using the Apex authentication.
Perhaps you could recreate the problem and post a screenshot somewhere of the error page that you see (you can't post images here on the forum)?

Insert a record into a table through email in an Oracle APEX application

I developed an Oracle APEX application, there is a table called events. I can insert/update/delete a record in the table through browser. I am thinking in order to quickly do the data entry, user should be able to send an email, then the table should be inserted with values from email address, timestamp, subject and body. Anyd idea how to realize this functionality?
- Denis

Start by checking whether your mail server provides any API's for accessing emails , if it does you might be able to reduce a lot of work by using some kind of web service consumer from apex to your mail server. In any case your implementation is going to be dependent on your Mail Server configuration.
Your problem breaks down to reading/accessing mails from the mail server from PLSQL (apex is driven by PLSQL).
I found this other thread which could be of some use.
WAY TO ACCESS A MAIL SERVER FROM ORACLE APEX
<li>The following package might solve your problem directly(from carsten czarski of the German Apex community)
[url http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net]http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net
PS: POP3 support is still TBD.
<li>I also found this posting in the orafaq forums which lists a java method and PLSQL code bit for it for accessing emails via POP3
[url http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/80928/2/]http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/80928/2/
If these do not work for you, find some java library to read mail from your server, write a PLSQL wrapper for it and use it in a scheduled job(DBMS_JOB)/a PLSQL block triggered from Apex.
If you get stuck there, find some utility that can read mails, invoke them from your DB using java,shell scrpt,dbms_scheduler etc and use the utility's function for the rest.
NOTE: I haven't tried any of these utilities and you must validate any java code before running them on your environment.
Since aren't really much restrictions(other than spam checks) in sending a mail to your mail account, you might want to consider filtering out the mails from which you create records.
