Help with a FireFox issue?

I am building a site and I cannot figure out the sapcing
issues of one of my sites. I have tried many things and while it
apeasr fine in IE, the spacing is a bit off in Firefix, for the
main pages.
The first here:
http://www.zw2.com/hds/final_internal_nav.cfm
(the nav has a blue line to the right that is much too thick)
it looks as it should in IE, but when compared in FF, you
will see the difference.
Does anyone happen to know if there is a common issue with
Firefox and spacing?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

Yes, there are differences, but they're not fatal (you can
fix them).
The usual method is to design for Firefox and then make the
changes necessary for it to work in IE. Firefox is more
standards-compliant than IE. You'll find a lot of help for this
kind of problem if you search on webmasterworld.com.
You should also run some www.w3.org validation checks on your
site. There are a number of minor errors in the html, and one in
the css. If you use Firefox, you can add the Web Developer and the
HTML Validator extensions so these validations are easy to do.
Good luck!

Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

Can someone help with this CSS issue....
http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
If you view the main page you will see that our background is
2 shades of
orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
the right and
left you wil notice that the line is higher
if you notice that it seems that there is another background
on top of the
first one..its the only thing i can think of..
the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
CSS style
html, body
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
would cause this?
is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
BODY?
ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
2008

You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
I would do this:
html, body {
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
body{
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
right than the
left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)

Hi there,
I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
(OS: I use Windows XP).
When I open up the browser, all I see is a completely blank white screen, with all the toolbars at the top.
I know that my physical connections are fine: I've tested the modem, turned the pc off and on etc. and I can also receive/send emails.
This problem started today, 8th September, 2011 and has never happened before.
Is it a coincidence that Firefox updated itself just before I logged off yesterday evening? Could it be something to do with this particular new update?
I've also noted that just before I "open up" Firefox, I now get a small box saying:
[JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
Exc In Ev handl: TypeError: This oRoot.enable is not a function
This has never appeared before - I hope it offers a clue a to what is wrong.
The Browser is not stuck in Safe Mode, by the way.
Obviously, I can't search for any solutions to the problem on the internet, as I can't physically see any websites!
(A friend is sending this query on my behalf from their pc)
Any light you could throw on this confusing problem would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it from your site, then I'm also in trouble (I can't see the internet or make any downloads).
In that case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my email address? If so, please let me know and I'll give you further details.
Many thanks in advance.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Help with CSS & Firefox

Could anyone help with the query below. I posted this last
friday but never
got a reply. The original message that i posted is also
below. It might be
easier to read from the bottom up.
Thanks
James
----------------------------------->
Thanks for your reply.
I've changed my code as you suggested & now the content
div is coming about
half way down the page- so were getting somewhere. There are
floated
elements so I have added the 'clearthefloats' div. There are
no absolutely
positioned elements, but I tried making the content div
position:relative
anyway but it had no effect.
I also added some text into the 'clearthefloats' div so i
could see where it
was on the page & it is halfway down the page itself,
even though it is
below the other elements in the page.
Thanks,
James

Yes I have tried setting the height. It should wrap round the
whole page
content not just the graphic. I tried setting the height till
it looked
right in firefox but then in ie there was about 150px extra
at the bottom.
(this was on another page which is a lot longer). Plus if i
set the height
to be right on the homepage, the other pages will be wrong. I
would have to
use seperate style sheets, or give the div's different id's.
Surely there is a way to get the div that all the contents
are in, to simply
wrap round them.
Thanks

Seeking Help with Album Image Issues in iPod Classic

Hi folks -
I have a new 160 iPod Classic and have two album image-related issues I'd appreciate some help with.
In the case of several albums where I'd associated my own art with them in iTunes, the formatting appeared off in my iPod due to the vertical/horizontal proportions. So I corrected the images, replaced the images via iTunes, and re-synced. All of the old images were replaced - except for two. Is there any way to get my iPod to recognize the change to these two images, as it did for all the others?
Secondly, my "The Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East" album was appearing twice in both the Cover Flow and Album list. That was strange, except that after the latest sync it now appears six times! It's only in one place in iTunes, and not erroneously set as a compilation or anything. This is the only album displaying this behavior...
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
Frank

Help with production jvm issues at customer site

Following is a brief overview of two production issues experienced by an Oracle customer. Customer is currently running 32 bit Java 1.5_20 on Solaris 64 bit OS.
1)     OOM heap issues – SR #3-2611053901 – Recently we have been seeing OOM errors due to heap space. What we have seen is that some of the instances are not able to free up any memory space even after full GC, which results into a series of full GC’s back to back and eventually leads to OOM. During this time when continuous full GC is going on, we have seen the TCP connections and active JDBC connections shoot up and also lots of stuck threads. This error occurs during peak hours.
This is the output just before OOM. Just to be clear, this line is printed as last line of Full GC which meant that OOM happened right after Full GC:
[PSYoungGen: 111616K->82323K(172544K)] [PSOldGen: 1865727K->1865727K(1865728K)] 1977343K->1948051K(2038272K) [PSPermGen: 209111K->209061K(210944K)] GC time is exceeding GCTimeLimit of 98%, 13.3644395 secs]
2)     OOM swap space- SR: #3-1724941721 – From time to time, we get Exception in thread "CompilerThread0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 32756 bytes for ChunkPool::allocate. Out of swap space?’ error in our production. Mostly this error occurs during off hours or off-peak hours. When this happen, there is plenty of heap and perm memory available which indicates that this is a native memory error. We already put two workarounds suggested by Oracle i.e. -XX:CodeCacheMinimumFreeSpace=8m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m but still running into this problem.
What we are looking for:
1)     Recommendations on tuning our config parameters -
These are some recommendations we discussed internally. Please validate these recommendations and provide us the recommended values. We would also welcome any new recommendation on updating other parameters if that will help with our issues.
•     Change Xmx to 2048m and MaxPermSize to 512m
•     Specify ratio of young generation to old generation (-XX:NewRatio), and possibly survivor spaces.
•     Use Concurrent old generation collector (-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC), with a compatible parallel young generation collector (-XX:+UseParNewGC)
Our current config settings are:
JAVA Memory arguments: -Did=chaserels-cm21 -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:CodeCacheMinimumFreeSpace=8m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m -verbose:gc -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1641 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=ISO646-US
In a subset of servers, the settings are same as above but for MaxPermSIze, which is set to -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
2)     Diagnostic help in how to further narrow down to the problem and what tool to use to gather heap dumps
We have tried to take heap dump using jmap on our production servers when OOM occurs due to heap but most of the time, we run into an exception (attached - which is probably an unresolved jvm bug). While we researched some alternatives to jmap for taking heap dumps, most of these require changing the start-up scripts or installing the tool on production system which may have a performance overhead. What we want is a least intrusive tool which could provide us heap dumps/snapshots without much overhead and could be preferably used remotely. If there are other ways of collecting data than heap dump, we could also use them.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any data.
Thanks for your help.
Error from heap dump :

1)     OOM heap issues – SR #3-2611053901 – Recently we have been seeing OOM errors due to heap space. What we have seen is that some of the instances are not able to free up any memory space even after full GC, which results into a series of full GC’s back to back and eventually leads to OOM. Which would be exactly what would happen if there were many objects which were not eligible for collection.
Causes would be either a bug (something not releasing something it should) or because the server is overloaded.
If there were no code changes it could still be a bug that has now only become apparent due to changes in usage patterns.
If that is the case then such bugs can usually be made more apparent by reducing the maximum heap. Doing that will cause it to occur faster.

Can you help with my connection issues

I cannot connect to my Contribute CS3 even though my server is fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I spent the last hour on the phone with my server company and they tried but failed to help me connect.

Please try the following steps.

Help with a CS2 issue

hey there. I have a strange issue going on with my Photoshop CS2. When I open the program and begin to work with my image the program closes without any warning. I have never had any issues before and have done high quality graphics before with it. My current project is a poster for work that is 20 x 30. I tried at 300 and 200 dpi. When I start anything after the original layer it just closes. Is is because of the size? DPI? know the file size is a little larger than normal but to crash right off seemed kind of strange. I included my computer info so I hope that helps and if this has been mentioned before - newbie I apologize.
Brent
ps I haven't used the programs help in a long time.For some reason it isn't working. Is there any issues with the help option not working properly?
(I pulled this from the system info so I included what I thought would help - with some things yeah could use a new computer no that old but could be better :-)
Adobe Photoshop Version: 9.0.2 (9.0.2x296)
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 5.1 Service Pack 1
System architecture: AMD CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:0 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP
Physical processor count: 1
Processor speed: 2079 MHz
Built-in memory: 1023 MB
Free memory: 459 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 908 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 55 %
Image cache levels: 6
Serial number: [deleted by forum host]
Startup, 105.4G, 49.9G free
1 Gig of RAM

First of all, you should update your OS to service Pack 2 and then apply the other updates that have come out since then.
Try resetting your preferences. There are several ways to do this; the simplest is: Immediately after clicking to open Photoshop, press and hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift; if you get a dialog about your preferences, tell it to delete or clear them, after which Photoshop will open. If you don't get the dialog, you weren't fast enough. Some people find that it helps to press and hold Ctrl+Shift down before clicking, then immediately pressing Alt in addition.
If you have reset your preferences and still have the problem, you can try doing a repair install; if that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling (which doesn't take long for PSCS2 and is no big deal).
Let us know what happens.

Help with some iPhone issues please

Ok, I am starting to have some problems with my iPhone 3G, and would really appreciate any help with these issues.. here is what is happening
1) iPhone Vibrate is pretty much broken, turns off and on vibrate by itself.. and now is vibrating very softly.
2) iPhone wont sync my Music anymore, I have 3 playlists that I use on my iPhone, and none of them will update. When I sync my iPhone, everything syncs but the music.
3) iPhone sometimes completely freezes and i cant get it to go to the locksreen or power off, so I have to do a hard restart.

Hi Matt,
Try restoring the iPhone, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the process.
If the vibrate and unlock issues persists, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Just make a reservation to have a Genius, at a local Apple retail store, take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Need help with expression builder issue

Hi all
I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having. I'm creating a database for a manufacturing joinery. For 1 of my forms, Ive to create a despatch form which includes order details along with customer details. Some customers can have contracts in which
they get a fixed price on certain item. This is where the problem lies.
For my customers table, I have a field called "On contract" which is a Yes/No field. I've created a query to attempt to make this form. I'm having trouble with adding a total column at the end of this query. Quantity,Unit Price, Contract Price
are also in the query. I've been trying to build an expression to say like;
iif [on contract] = "Yes", [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
iif [on contract] = "no", [Quantity] * [Unit Price]
It obviously wont work, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Assuming you are using the database is SQL Server:
SELECT [CustomerID]
,[Quantity]
,[Unit Price]
,[Contract Price]
,[Total] = CASE WHEN [On Contract] = 'Yes' THEN [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
WHEN [On Contract] = 'No' THEN [Quantity] * [Unit Price] END
FROM [Customers]
Modify the SQL to suit your need.
Hope this helps.

Need help with Itunes Authorization issue

I've been a Itunes/Ipod user for a couple years. During that time, I've sure spent over $500.00 on Itunes music from the Itunes store for my Ipod. My daugter and I both have Ipods.. There have only been 2 machines with Itunes installed here but I occasionally rebuild my computers to have the latest and greatest hardware for my business.. The other day I backed up all my music and data before rebuilding my machine due to hardware upgrades. Everything went smoothly including importing my purchased music back into Itunes.. The problem is I can't listen to it now. When I try to double click a song I get an error that says "You have already authorized 5 computers with this account. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers" This isn't possible because the computers aren't around anymore to deauthorize. They were all housed (except 1, my daughters pc) in the same case as I have now.. Please respond...

The other day I backed up all my music and data before rebuilding my machine due to hardware upgrades.
okay. you may have ended up with multiple authorisations on that PC due to the system changes. if so the following documents should be of some help with techniques for freeing up authorisations:
One computer using multiple iTunes Music Store authorizations

Help With Various Dreamweaver Issues

Dear Friends,
This is my first post and I appreciate any help any of you
can give me. My knowledge of web design is minimal, but I do have a
basic understanding. The fundamentals of HTML and web design as a
whole are pretty clear. My weakness, however, shows in the fine
detailed issues that come up throughout the course of designing a
website, and much of it may have to do with a lack of knowledge
with the software I'm using. I love Dreamweaver CS3. It's an
excellent program. I'm totally hooked!
I'm in the process of building a website for a friend who
owns a retail gift store. The site has a total of 41 pages. The URL
is
http://www.southerncharmgifts.net
It has taken me over a month to get this site to the place
where it is now. I've learned a TON about web design, CSS, and the
Dreamweaver program itself. I've been able to work through many of
the issues I've had, but I'm stuck on a few things:
1.
Browser Issues.
I've found it hard to sync the content between browsers:
namely IE and Firefox.
For example:
In IE the sub-menus wrap (as I want them to), but in Firefox
they do not. But in Firefox the sub-menu
box borders are visible (vertical menus), even though the
text doesn't wrap, but it's obviously in the dimensions that are
seen in IE.
In Firefox, the sub-menus are too far from the parent. It
looks bad. But they are perfect in IE.
The background image is centered in IE between the menus and
adverts, but not in Firefox. How do I get the background image to
remain between the menus and adverts? (Note: There is no background
on the home page. Also, wider screens seem to move the background
in IE, too.)
In the horizontal menu "Category" the sub-menu item "Babies"
cannot be selected in Firefox. In IE it works.
There are gaps between items in the horizontal sub-menu. It
appears to be related to items not wrapping, but it doesn't seem
that enlarging the sub-menu box causes the item to not wrap. For
example, under "Category" "Candles & Fragrances" is wrapped and
it seems to be the reason why there is a large gap between "Babies"
and "Eyewear." If I can find a way to get Candles & Fragrances
to NOT wrap it might remove the gap.
2. CSS Issue.
I can't find a way to have the sub-menu hover
underline instead of highlight the items. I want it to
underline.
3. "False" Issue.
In the
vertical sub-menu "by CATEGORY" the word "false" shows up
just below the word "Babies." (It's hard to see, but it's there.)
THANKS!!

Your limited research has failed to uncover the essence of
proper technique
in creating web pages. Layers are NOT a general layout tool
and will cause
you much more grief than you ever imagined. Here's one big
reason -

They are, but only for specialty applications.

It is my personal opinion based on seeing hundreds (if not
thousands) of new
users throw themselves on their swords as a result of having
committed to
pages built with layers, on this very forum.

Starting over from scratch need not involve a redesign of the
graphics. But
on a site built from layers, it would certainly involve a
rethinking of the
layout method. Read this -
