Hi, im using ff 8.1, and when i use drop down boxes the options show but it doesnt change when i select an option.

So im using this website, and im not sure if this problem occurs with other website because i havent come across any, but i select the drop down box menu, the options appear, i select an option, but it doesnt actually use my option it just goes back to default. This website is like a form filling interface so i need to save it at the end, but firefox doesnt allow me to do that either.
It works on google chrome fine so i doubt its a problem with the website. I have only just installed firefox 8.1 and havent changed any settings or applied any addons.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • Is there a way to change the date format so that delegates have to choose a day, month and year from a drop down menu as my delegates keep forgetting to change the year of their information

    When my delegates are filling in a event form i have put together, a large number of them forget to change either the month or year on the date field. Is there a way to have a date field that has drop down boxes for day, month and year so they have to choose rather than a date been already on the screen??
    Thanks

    Hi Christopher,
    The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
    WEEKDAY
    The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
      date:  The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
      first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
    Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted):  Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
    Monday is 1 (2):  Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3):  Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
    But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
    Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
    B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
    The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
    A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.

  • Has Photoshop CS5 Extended added a "Behind" and "Clear" in MODE drop down box?

    Hi Guys,
    I am not sure what just happened with my PS. Was downloading and installing some custom patterns and brushes from the net last night. And when I went to try them out I noticed the drop down box had 2 new added effects ( Behind and Clear ) which I was not able to even access because they were not live. It is the drop down box which has the normal, dissolve, darken, multiply etc. etc. up on the top left hand bar. I was going to upload a picture but I keep getting a message saying this file is forbidden, even after I scaled the image down to the required fields. I was wondering if some one can help. I hope it wasn't a virus from the internet files I downloaded.
    Many thanks, Grace.

    They are brush blend modes.  To use you need to have the brush tool selected.  Open a new layer and paint with any colour.  Chose another colour and make the blend mode Behind.  I bet you know what will happen now? ;-)
    Clear works pretty much the same as the Eraser tool as far as I can tell.  Might need to actually read the manual to get more info on that.

  • Drop down boxes do not show up. My tabs are not visible. I could barely see the box to type in this question. Something is off. I deleted and reinstalled program it is still just floating words. I work on a Mac with ox 10.6.8

    The browser boxes, tabs, and links do not show up with the needed outlines, colors, and shapes. This box I am typing in was barely visible. Above this box is a set of two verticle parallel bars. When I moused over it, I saw it was for inserting a link, but if I had not been curious I would not have known what those lines were for. When I look at this page on PC I have a colored blue backdrop. It is not visible on the Mac. The search box does not have the image of the magnifying class and the arrow does not show up where it should be. The words Post Question just appear below the statement we have made some educated guesses about your browser. I thought maybe it had been a theme that was applied, but I do not see how it could have come on when I trashed the old version of the firefox.

    A;though the CSS is very well documented, there are those that ignore those signs. Look at the following
    /* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        list-style-type: none;
        font-size: 100%;
        position: relative;
        text-align: left;
        cursor: pointer;
        width: auto;
        float: left;
    The rest have been given a width of 15em, so this value may be a good start.
    DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
    /* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
        border: 1px solid #CCC;
       width: auto;
        background-attachment: fixed;
    Just keep the border property and remove the other two.
    BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
    /* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe

        z-index: 1010;
    /* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

    The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Regards

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

    I had this and fixed it.
    I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
    After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
    Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
    Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
    1. Quit Mail
    2. In Problem machine, go to
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
    4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
    5. Start Mail on the problem machine
    This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • Drop down boxes like the ones used for dates don't work and hav'nt work for quite a while. What's going on?

    Drop down boxes have not worked for the last few revisions of
    Firefox. I've tried eliminating all add ons etc. bit to no avail. It does
    not seem like this should be such a big problem to fix, since these
    objects used to work fine in the past. I really like Firefox otherwise
    and would hate to have to resort to another browser. The drop down box shown below does not work either, but that may be due to lack of content.

    Yes, I've disabled everything. Even changed Windows 7 Themes, but no luck.
    After sending this reply, it occurred to me that Actual Window Guard might be
    the problem. When I excluded the Firefox window from Actual Window Guard
    control the drop down boxes worked. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and tried to help. I really do appreciate your time and effort.

    Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded.  Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows.  Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution  so it uses its pixels  however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display.  Other application let Windows  scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels.  The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays  2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
    The reg update  and external manifest file  effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size  in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution.  Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768.  Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
    Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display  3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

  • What is the use for lock object and how to use the lock objects

    Hi Guru's,
    I am new to ABAP .Can you please clarify the that what is the use of lock object and how to use the loct object .what is use of the Deque & Enque  function modules .

    hi ,
    below are some minfo about lock objects :
      Lock Objects
    These types of objects are used for locking the access to database records in table. This mechanism is used to enforce data integrity that is two users cannot update the same data at the same time. With lock objects you can lock table-field or whole table.
    In a system where many users can access the same data, it becomes necessary to control the access to the data. In R/3 system this access control is built-in on database tables. Developers can also lock objects over table records.
    To lock an object you need to call standard functions, which are automatically generated while defining the lock object in ABAP/4 dictionary. This locking system is independent of the locking mechanism used by the R/3 system. This mechanism also defines LUW i.e. Logical Unit of Work. Whenever an object is locked, either by in built locking mechanism or by function modules, it creates corresponding entry in global system table i.e. table is locked. The system automatically releases the lock at the end of transaction. The LUW starts when a lock entry is created in the system table and ends when the lock is released.
    Creating Lock Objects
    Lock object is an aggregated dictionary object and can be defined by using the following steps:
    o From initial data dictionary screen, enter the name for the object, Click Lock object radiobutton and then click on Create. The system displays a dialog box for Maintain Lock Objects screen
    o Enter short text as usual and the name for primary table.
    -Save
    -Select Tables option
    From this screen you can:
    Select secondary tables, if any, linked by foreign key relationship.
    Fields for the lock objects. This option allows you to select fields for objects (R/3 system allows locking up to record level). Lock object argument are not selected by user but are imposed by the system and includes all the primary keys for the table.
    1) Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
    2) Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
    3) Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.
    Also, last but not the least, locking the object is logical (locking with any enqueue ) .so, you have to use the lock object while trying to access from second program .

    Ranjita

  • My iPhone is requesting to sync with icloud, but it is using on old ID and password. How do I delete the old ID and password?

    My iPhone is requesting to sync with icloud, but it is using on old ID and password. How do I delete the old ID and password?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
