How can I type over existing text on a web page?

I would like to be able to type over existing text on a web page. This can be done by hitting the "insert" key in several applications; however, it does not work in Firefox.
I'm running Firefox 31.0 and Windows 7.

Unfortunately that is not possible in Firefox.
The insert key is not supported (i.e. Firefox is always in insert mode), so you will have to delete the old text and type the new text.

    How can I change a minus figure on a web page to show in red?

    I would assume that the website sends negative number with a special CSS class code or uses JavaScript to to change the style afterward.
    Did it ever work in Firefox?

  • How can I type into a text window on top of a box?

    Hi gang. When I create a box (for example, a sidebar b/g) then create a text box on top of it, I can't type into that box unless I drag it off to the side, away from the b/g box (or layer, since we're not talking Quark) as the text just hops over to the b/g layer.  Is there something I need to check or uncheck? It's driving me crazy. TIA

    OK, I think I see what's going on. Use the Text tool to make the text frame, not the Rectangle tool. Becasue the rectanlge has no fill, and is not expecting text by default, when you click inside it  you are really clicking in the filled background frame.
    Of course, ther'e generally no reason to put a text frame on top of a native rectangle object like this you could just use the yellow frame, add some insets to position the text where you want it, and forget about the second frame on top.

  • How can I display XSLT transformer errors on a web page ?

    Hi,
    I have some JSP pages that access DB, create an XML based on DB data and then transform it into HTML through an XSLT stylesheet. Developing the XSL code it's easy to make mistakes and generate errors on trasformation, but what I receive on the web page is only a "Could not compile stylesheet" TransformerConfigurationException, while the real cause of the error is displayed only on tomcat logs. This is the code for transformation:
    static public void applyXSLT(Document docXML, InputStream isXSL, PrintWriter pw) throws TransformerException, Exception {
            // instantiate the TransformerFactory.
            TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            // creates an error listener
            XslErrorListener xel = new XslErrorListener();
            // sets the error listener for the factory
            tFactory.setErrorListener(xel);
            // generate the transformer
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new SAXSource(new InputSource(isXSL)));
            // transforms the XML Source and sends the output to the HTTP response
            transformer.transform(new DOMSource(docXML), new StreamResult(pw));
    }If an exception is thrown during the execution of this code, its error message is displayed on the web page.
    This is the listener class:
    public class XslErrorListener implements ErrorListener {
        public XslErrorListener() {
        public void warning(TransformerException ex) {
            // logs on error log
            System.err.println("\n\nWarning on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
        public void error(TransformerException ex) throws TransformerException {
            // logs on error log
            System.err.println("\n\nError on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
            // and throws it
            throw ex;
        public void fatalError(TransformerException ex) throws TransformerException {
            // logs on error log
            System.err.println("\n\nFatal Error on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
            // and throws it
            throw ex;
    }When I have an error in the XSL stylesheet (for examples a missing closing tag), I can find on tomcat logs the real cause of the error:
    [Fatal Error] :59:10: The element type "table" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</table>".
    Error on XEL: The element type "table" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</table>".but on my web page is reported just the TransformerConfigurationException message that is:
    "Could not compile stylesheet".
    How can I display the real cause of the error directly on the web page?
    Thanks,
    Andrea

    This code is part of a bigger project that let developers edit XSL stylesheets through a file upload on the system and we can't impose the use of any tool for checking the xsl. So, I need to display the transformer error on the web page.I see. This code is part of an editorial/developmental tool for developers to create and edit XSL stylesheets.
    As part of the editorial process, XSL errors during editing can be considered a normal condition. In other words, it is normal to expect that the developers will generate XSL errors as they are developing stylesheets.
    In this light, handling the XSL transformation errors is a business requirement that you need to handle. Using the Java Exceptions mechanisms, e.g. try / catch are inappropriate to handle business requirements, in my opinion.
    I suggest that you look at how you handle the occurence of XSL errors differently than what you currently have. You need to:
    (1) capture the Transformation exception on the server;
    (2) extract the message from the exception and put it into a message that can be easily understood by the user;
    The current error message that you have going to the web browser is not useful.
    And you should not have the Transformation exception sent to the web browser either.
    What you are attempting to do with the exception is not appropriate.
    Handle the Transformation exception on the Business tier and use it to create a useful message that is then sent to the Presentation tier. In other words, do not send Java exceptions to web browser.

  • How can I disable html5 videos from displaying on web pages?

    I use yahoo.com as my "news" page. In the last month or so there are more and more small format videos next to the new article. Used to be just a still pic, but now more "invasive". If I had my way I'd still click on "text only" like the old modem days. I want to READ an article, and I find the video images on their main page, before clicking on a story, to be distracting. Also, I'm on a limited data usage plan so don't appreciate them shoving data down my throat.
    Using Firefox 32.0 and Windows 8.1
    Yesterday I installed the "No Script" extension thinking I could block Just these videos, but doesn't seem to work that way. It blocks most everything including interactions like clicking on a button.
    If I examine the "object" (video) it appears to be an "html5" item. This seems to be something new from what I can google.
    There are a few help screens for html5, but these are "how do I play them" instead of "how can I block them".

    Try to set the media.autoplay.enabled pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

    You can also see if this extension works (Flash Block is currently broken).

  • Why can't I read the text on some web pages?

    I'm using my laptop with a Vista OS and Firefox. Some of the text that appears on web pages seems to be rendered incorrectly on my screen. I'm hoping someone can tell me how this happens.
    Here is a [http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/151/54855858.jpg screen shot] of what the homepage for Digg.com looks like.

    I have the same problem which is one reason I still use IE8 (which has its own problems). I change my font to be bigger, and I use my toolbar on the side. Firefox apparently doesn't like this and squooshes the page together.
    I could do all sorts of research to figure out what is wrong, reconfigure Firefox, use the fonts it wants, install, zoom, uninstall fonts, and perhaps find apps to change the way it looks. I probably could set up my computer to satisfy the needs of Firefox.
    Nah. I like my computer to work for me! So, I have to go to IE a lot. I use FF for some things. IE for others.
    Good luckl

  • How can I embed a Keynote presentation on a web page?

    I created a Keynote presentation using Keynote version 6.5 (OS X Yosemite). I found the "export as html" option, which creates an entire web page named index.html. I opened that web page in Dreamweaver, but I'm not talented enough to figure out how to turn that page into a proper index.html page, including the graphics, background, and links (etc.) that I want on my sites home page.
    I have also tried to embed the presentation onto a web page that I've already created, but I can't figure out how to do that, either.
    Can someone tell me if it's possible to embed a custom-sized Keynote presentation onto a web page and, if so, how?
    OR can you tell me how to edit the page that Keynote created when I open it up in Dreamweaver?
    I think the former would be easier, given what I've seen when I try to do the latter.
    I have been using Dreamweaver for many years - since before Adobe bought it - and the site I'm currently updating is already in Dreamweaver. That's why I'm asking about Dreamweaver (if you were curious).
    Of course, I've probably not provided all the information you would need to help me, so please ask questions. I won't be offended if they point out my ignorance!
    Thank you for any help you might provide.

    The only workaround I found was to use the desktop version of Keynote, which allowed me to export the presentation as a set of images to iPhoto. From there, they show up as an album and can be brought back to the iPad, and then played as a looping slide show in the pictures app. It worked perfectly.

  • How can I refresh only a section of a web Page

    Hi,
    I am generating a web page using pl/sql. This web page has
    multiple sections in it. Only first ten records of each
    sections are displayed and the user can click on <prev> <next>
    button to display the prev/next 10 records. e.g.,
    Section 1 - Previous Names
    Smith
    Owen
    McDonald
    <<Prev 10 Next 10>>
    Section 2 - Previous Addresses
    111 State St.
    121 Altamont Ave.
    48 Apt 1., Bleeker St.
    <<Prev 10 Next 10>>
    Section 3 and so on ...
    My dilemma is that if a user wants to display the next ten
    records of a Section (e.g. Previous Names), I only want that
    part of the page to refresh instead of the entire page to reload
    again (similar to an ASP using Remote Scripting).
    Can this be done in Oracle using PL/Sql?
    Thanks
    Vic

    Each Section is independent of the other i.e., the change in the
    contents of one section shouldn't affect the contents of another
    section. This works fine. I am able to change the contents of
    a section without affecting the contents of another section. I
    basically keep track of each sections starting position.
    Though this works fine and gets me what I want, it's not very
    efficient. Each time a section's contents change (by clicking
    prev/next) the whole page needs to be reloaded. I want only the
    section that was clicked on to reload.
    In Active Server Pages (asp), a person can use "remote
    scripting" to reload only a part of the page without reloading
    the entire page. I was wondering if this could be done using
    PL/Sql as well?
    I could certainly use frames but that's not an option. Frames
    are a big no no here.

  • How can I demo my mobile app on a web page? or standalone

    Is there a way to show my Flex mobile app in a browser?  either on a web page or standalone is ok.
    I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 to build a mobile app for iOs (iphone 4) and when I debug it, it shows the program in a window like the phone,
    Is there a way to wrap this up and give it to someone to run in a Flash-player-browser-like window? 
    thanks!
    steve

    You can do something similar to this by using Export Release Build and instructing FB to Export as "Signed AIR Package for installation on desktop"
    This will create a file that can be installed on a computer and behaves much like a debugger execution.  A few caveats are that the user will need to resize the window manually to match a "phone size" and mobile features (camera, gps, accelerometer, etc) will either be unavailable or behave very differently than on an actual phone (depending on your code implementation).
    Still, for most apps, this will give your audience a good feel of what your app will be like when released on the phone market/store.

  • How can I add a Last Update to a web page with a web app.

    I would like to know how to update a webpage whenever a web app item has been added or updated last.
    I have the tag {tag_lastupdatedate}  but it only works is only for the web app list or details page.
    I want to be able to add the date and time as to when the entire list was last updated. Any suggestions? thanks!

    Hi DLSAgency,
    There is a module called {module_lastupdated} and it will display the date when the web page it's on has been last updated, but there is no module that will display when the web app list inside that page was last updated. There no such functionality in BC.
    Cheers,

  • How can I  make my own design for a web page instead of using a template?

    Need to ask the question again. I tried using the blank template, but could not get it to work. I could not insert images and copy where I wanted and in size I wanted.

    rapcom wrote:
    A general question: Is it possible to change the dimensions of the web page? Or even its positioning as a horizontal or vertical format?
    Yes — it's done via iWeb Inspector's Page tab (the second one at the top), editing the values in the +Page Size+ fields. After entering a new value, click the Return key to make it take effect...
    ..By the way, the above image is taken from a tutorial ~ click on the image above to read the tutorial.

    I also would prefer to edit the copy on the blank web page, and cannot do that either. Is it possible to do so?
    Yes, it's possible. But it's difficult to know what exact difficulty you're having, and I perhaps risk stating the obvious... One thing to be aware of is that clicking once inside a text box will simply select that box (you'll see eight +"grab handles"+ for re-sizing). But to edit the text inside, you need to click once more. Experiment with clicking inside and outside text boxes and you'll learn.
    And iWeb's Help menu has several resources ~ the Help viewer, a +Getting Started+ PDF and a link to ten video tutorials. One of the videos briefly demonstrates adding a text box towards the end; click here...
    If after the above you still need help, post back with step-by-step details of the problem.

  • How can I get a clearer Movie for my web page when trying to export a slide show in iPhoto.

    In iPhoto I am exporting a slide show in the display (size) 1280x800, the original images in the slide show are 600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96". I am using iPhoto 11 Version 9.4.2 on my MacBook Pro OSX version 10.8.2. I am using a wipe transition with a total slide show length of about 17 minutes long with about 96 images. The Display.m4v is 543.8 MB. The slide show is crystal clear when played before downloading to a movie, but once it is in a movie format it is no longer clear. What else can I tell you?

    600 dpi @ 11" x 8.96"
    600 x 11 = 66,000 pixels and you're reducing them to 1280...
    What happens if you export without the wipe?
