Hotspots not working as expected in Safari and Internet Explorer

first of all, I am using the double <object> tag with conditional comments to hide the inner <object> tag from IE, to embed a QTVR in a web page (as recommended at A List Apart, see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed for details). I am not using the <object><embed> method any longer since <embed> is not standards-compliant.
second, see this URI
http://www.30fps.com/html/aboveCristallinaVREn.html
and/or check out this code:
============
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
width="480" height="302">
<param name="src" value="../mov/aboveCristallina02VREn.mov">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="align" value="middle">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="hotspot88" value="<../html/cristallinaVREn.html> T<_self>">

<object type="video/quicktime" data="../mov/aboveCristallina02VREn.mov"
width="480" height="302">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="align" value="middle">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="hotspot88" value="<../html/cristallinaVREn.html> T<_self>">
</object>

</object>
============
this is the code I am currently testing and having issues with, for an embedded QTVR movie with blob hotspots. To see the hotspot in the VR, click the target icon at the right of the controller bar then turn around about 180 degrees.
1) in IE for PC (tested in v5.5 and v6.0), clicked hotspots invariably open in a new window and I cannot figure out any way of forcing them to load in the same window, even using the following code (greatly abbreviated here, of course):
<object>
<param name="hotspotXX" value="target.html">
<param name="targetXX" value="_self">
</object>
or
<object>
<param name="hotspotXX" value="<target.html> T<_self>">
</object>
2) Safari 3.0.4, the hotspots don't work at all. I can only successfully target a URL with a hotspot, when I use <embed> but as noted above, <embed> is not a W3C-compliant tag and I don't wish to use it any longer.
Naturally, I tried an extensive Google/Apple mail list search already and can't turn up any viable solutions to either.
TIA for your help...

The tag should read "myself" (no quotes) not "_self".

For cross OS browser compatibility (and no "embed" tag code) you should consider using javascript:

With all of my skills I could not get your "hotspot" to open a new html page:

Page not displaying in Safari and Internet explorer but showing up in Mozila

Hi,
I bought this pre-made template which I would like to use for my website. When I upload it to my website and try to open the pages like "Contact us", "News", "Team members" and so on, they are not displaying in Safari and Interner Explorer, but they DO show up in Mozilla. Also, the pages I created myself do show up in all browsers. I really need to fix this problem as I already put a lot of effort to create my web site and now it is not working online. I would really appreciate some help. Here is the link to the original template:

Safari and Internet Explorer won't run on my iMac G4 anymore (OS 10.2.8)

I cant get Safari or Internet Explorer (IE) to work on my iMac anymore. I can get iTines downloads and standard updates, but Safari and IE won't work - usually Safari will open (IE will usually not open completely - hangs up and must be force quit). Safari will hang up when loading a web page. Any ideas?

Try deleting the preference files for each.
Go to Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.Safari.plist and com.microsoft.explorer.plist.

Safari and Internet Explorer

I just purchased a Mac Mini and this is the first Mac. I have owned but have worked with them at work. I've come to a small issue with Internet Explorer and Safari. I would prefer to use I.E. however, when in I.E. and I goto www.securecomputing.com (The top menu bar shows doubles) if I use Safari it doesn't. If in I.E. and I goto www.search.com, I don't see the Search logo at the top. If I use Safari I do. Whats going on in I.E. ? Anyone have any ideas ? If you have any ideas please e-mail me direct to: [email protected]

Music urls ending in asf are actually scripts calling up the music. Some of these scripts work on the Mac, but some web sites incorporate proprietary Windows-only technologies or else call up music containing Microsoft's Windows-only digital rights management. Sometimes you can look at the source code for the web page and find the address for the actual music file or radio station and you can then cut and paste it into Windows Media Player. If the file does not contain DRM, it should play.

My firefox won't open on my computer recently. Safari and Internet explorer open to the web without a problem. Thanks

When I click on the icon, nothing happens. Up until about 2-3 weeks ago, it worked fine. Safari and IE open without a problem. I have a computer running Windows 7

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''

There are no issues using 2 or 20 browsers, keeping the bookmarks sync'd is not a pushbutton affair, export your bookmarks from IE then import them to Safari

Firefox won't load any websites, where as Safari and Internet Explorer have no issues.

I've re-installed Firefox and changed Firefox's proxy settings amongst other suggestions that were made on a similar page. It was Firefox 3.6, but I tried installing the 4 version. And no one has been around to live chat with, pretty lame that its offered if I can't even use it.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

I have a 1095 bytes svg file that works in chrome, but Firefox and Internet Explorer somehow remove one of the components, can you fix this?

The bottom rectangle is missing, if I change the top of that invisible rectangle 1 pixel up or down it becomes a 1 pixel line, very strange.

Updating Safari or Internet Explorer on my new mini

I just purchased a new Mac Mini. Unfortunately, I used manager assistant incorrectly and transferred everything to my new Mini. Because of that, my desktop and icons look exactly like my old Mac. Also, Safari and Internet Explorer are the same versions as on my old Mac. I can't even open up some web pages with this version of Safari. Surely I did something wrong. Please help me!!!

Use Pacifist to extract Safari from your computer's installation disks. Your computer did not come with Internet Explorer.

Notification "Launch the app and go to the library" not working as expected

Hello,
we are sending notification "Launch the app and go to the library" - but it's not working as expected, it's still just launching app with last open folio.
Whats wrong there? Do we need v30 app? We have V29, but this is not mentioned in documentation.
Thanks
Martin

Ah.
Ok, now it's clear.
Anyway i would appreciate possibility to force viewer to switch to library view after new issue is detected, even without notification. Quite often requested feature - "there is new cover in Newsstand, but customer don't know how to download new publication easily".

Adding and displaying a new JPanel -- not working as expected

I'm starting my own new thread that is based on a problem discussed in another person's thread that can be found here in the New to Java forum titled "ActionListener:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5207301
What I want to do: press a button which adds a new panel into another panel (the parentPane), and display the changes. The Actionlistener-derived class (AddPaneAction) for the button is in it's own file (it's not an internal class), and I pass a reference to the parentPane in the AddPaneAction's constructor as a parameter argument.
What works: After the button is clicked the AddPaneAction's actionPerformed method is called without problem.
What doesn't work: The new JPanel (called bluePanel) is not displayed as I thought it would be after I call
        parentPane.revalidate(); // this doesn't work
        parentPane.repaint();
What also doesn't work: So I obtained a reference to the main app's JFrame (I called it myFrame) by recursively calling component.getParent( ), no problem there, and then tried (and failed to show the bluePanel with) this:
        myFrame.invalidate(); // I tried this with and without calling this method here
        myFrame.validate(); // I tried this with and without calling this method here
        myFrame.repaint();
What finally works but confuses me: I got it to work but only after calling this:
        myFrame.pack();
        myFrame.repaint();But I didn't think that I needed to call pack to display the panel. So, what am I doing wrong? Why are my expectations not correct? Here's my complete code/SSCCE below. Many thanks in advance.

        myFrame.repaint();
}

For me (as it happens I'm using JDK 1.5.0_04) your code appears to work fine.
It may be that we're seeing the same thing but interpreting it differently.
1. When I run your application with your "working" code, and press the button then the JFrame resizes and the blue area appears.
2. When I run your application with your "not working" code and press the button then the JFrame does not resize. If I manually resize it then the blue area is there.
3. When I run your application with your "not working" code, resize it first and then press the button then the JFrame then the blue area is there.
I interpret all of this as correct behaviour.
Is this what you are seeing too?
Are you expecting revalidate, repaint, invalidate or validate to resize your JFrame? I do not.
As an aside, I do remember having problems with this kind of thing in earlier JVMs (e.g. various 1.2 and 1.3), but I haven't used it enough recently to know if your code would manifest one of the previous problems or not. Also I don't know if they've fixed any stuff in this area.

When i finally connected my mac to work network on windows environment everything related to apple including App store, Safari, software updates, iCloud and iTunes do not work using a proxy server and everything else is working very well

when i finally connected my mac to work network on windows environment everything related to apple including App store, Safari, software updates, iCloud and iTunes do not work using a proxy server and everything else is working very well including chrome browser…i tried everything but no clue...anybody have solution for this..???

I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.
