How do I select text on safari

I have not been able I select text since I upgraded I iOS7. Did you change how you select it or is it just no longer possible? Please help me

Does it work on other websites?
If not then:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to programatically select text for editing in an af:inputText control?

Hello, I am new to jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 and have searched and searched for info. I must be using the wrong terms as I cannot find any info or example on how to programatically select text for editing in an inputText field.
My request is to change an existing app so when the user presses a button, control should go to the inputText control (this part works, see existing backing bean code from another developer below) but automatically select the text within for editing by the user (saving the user from having to select the text first before editing).
Backing bean code to set the focus to an inputText field:
* sets the cursor to the given component id
* @param componentId of item on page
public void setFocusOnUIComponent(String componentId) {
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExtendedRenderKitService service =
      Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
    UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
    service.addScript(facesContext,
      "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
} I hope this isn't a dumb question and would appreciate it if someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thank you for any info,
Gary

Hi,
not a dumb question at all. Before answering it, here some comments on the code you pasted in your question
1. UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
This code line is not used at all in your method. So it seems you can get rid of it
2. "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
I suggest to change it to
"var component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); component.focus();");
as it is better coding practice to have variable names starting with a lower case letter and being flagged with the "var" identifier
For pre-selecting text in an an input component, there is no API available in ADF Faces, which means you need to reach out to the rendered HTML ouput. To access the markup for the rendered component, you can try
var markup = AdfRichUIPeer.getDomContentElementForComponent(component)
If this markup returns the HTML input component then you can use JavaScript you find on the Internet to select the area of it. If it does not return the input component then you may have to use
document.getElementById(componentId+'::content')
Note however that working directly with generated HTML output bears the risk that your code breaks when - for whatever reason - the ADF Faces component rendering changes in the future

Can't select text in Safari

I am a minister and have access to several sites with Bible translation. With my iPad I cannot seem to select text so I can copy and paste it into Pages. These sites are public domain so there is no copyright problem. I can do this on my MacBook Pro with Safari, but not with iPad Safari. Any ideas why not. I actually was able to do it once, but then I could not duplicate the action.

I've noticed this on some websites too. I'm no website designer, but sometimes when you visit a website some text that is displayed is like a picture of words...like a PDF which is just a picture of text...not individual characters that you can select. Other text are individual characters that you can select. It may depend on how the website is designed/put together.

How to get selected text values in a textarea by mouse click?

Hi Everyone,
What I am trying to do is to click on some texts in a textarea, then get the selected text value.
If you guys have used an accounting software called Simply Accounting, you might understand better.
I list all my customer names in a textarea. What I want is, when I click on one customer, another GUI pops up with this customer's information. My problem is that I don't know how to get the selected text value from a textarea.
Could anyone give a hand here? Thank you in advance.

Is there some reason you aren't using a JList or
JTable to display
the user names/information?Thank you for es5f2000's reply. You just gave me a better idea! There is not a particular reason I have to use TextArea to list my customers. As long as the component can make my idea alive, I definitely use it. Still, if there is any way to get a selected text value, it will help me a lot with my project. Thank you.

How do I select text in a PDF document?

I have a text-based PDF document, but I can only select text by restarting the reader. Once I select "Take a Snapshot" I can't select text anymore. How do I switch back to select text? I tried right-clicking on the document but I don't see any "selection" tool. I am using 11.0.3 under Win 7.

Just tested this (Reader 11.0.3 on Windows XP), and your scenario is exactly so.
I have been able to go back to get the Select Tool by clicking on the Highlight tool in the Toolbar, then right-clicking on the document.
But it's definitely a bug in my view.

How to set selected text color in Spark TextInput

I'm trying to make Spark TextInputs and MXFTETextInputs look like Halo/MX TextInputs as much as possible, since I have a mix of both Spark and MX TextInputs in my application. I know I can set the
selection background color to black using focusedTextSelectionColor. How can I set the selected text color to white so it matches the MX white-on-black look?

This works, if you set the enabled property directly on the s:TextInput:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
    <s:layout>
        <s:VerticalLayout horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" />
    </s:layout>
    <s:controlBarContent>
        <s:CheckBox id="ch" label="enabled" selected="true" />
    </s:controlBarContent>
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
        s|TextInput:disabled {
            color: red;
    </fx:Style>
    <s:Group>
        <s:TextInput id="ti" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" enabled="{ch.selected}" />
    </s:Group>
</s:Application>
It can get a bit trickier when you're setting the enabled property on a parent container, since (I believe) that the child control's enabled properties are still set to true and just the container is disabled. One possible workaround would be to bind the child TextInput control's enabled property to the container's enabled property. That way the s:TextInput should still go to it's disabled state and you can customize the disabled state's styles to have darker text, or whatever else you want.
<s:Group id="gr" enabled="{ch.selected}">
    <s:TextInput id="ti" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" enabled="{gr.enabled}" />
</s:Group>

How to catch selected text in JTable Column

Hi there,
I am learning JTable. Need help for How to get the selected text from the JTable Column which is set to be editable.
for example in JTextFiled you have method on getSelectedText(), is there any method for tracking the selected text.
Thanks in advance
Minal

Here's an example of the model I used in my JTable. Not the "getValueAt" method & "getRecordAt" method. You will have to have a Record object - but it only contains the attributes of an inserted record (with appropriate getters & setters). Hope this helps.
public class FileModel5 extends AbstractTableModel

// initialize number of rows to start out with ...

static final public String file = "File";
static final public String mailName = "Mail Id";
static final public String postName = "Post Office Id";
static final public String columnNames[] = {"File", "Mail Id", "Post Office Id"};
// List of data
protected Vector data = null;
public FileModel5()
data = new Vector();
public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex)
// The 2nd & 3rd column or Value field is editable
if(isEditable)

How can I select text within a page?

Using Firefox on an N900. I cannot select text or interact with google maps. Like you can by going into cursor mode on the N900 native browser. How is this done in Firefox?
== Extensions installed: ==
ADB, youtube enabler + defaults

I'm using the nightly and I have yet to find a way of selecting text. This is really annoying! Great work on the browser though.

How to create Selection texts in a generated program

Hi there,
Can anybody give me any hint of how can we create selection texts for any selection screen element where the selection screen itself will be generated via some other program?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Deb.

Hi debkumar,
1. The Important thing is
NAME of the screen element.
eg. name is XYZ.
then we can access it in program like this :
%_XYZ_%_app_%-text = 'Hello Sir'.
(Please note the FORMAT - Its important)
3. try this code (just copy paste in new program)
IT WILL CHANGE TEXT OF RADIO BUTTONS
WHEN PUSHBUTTON IS CLICKED.
REPORT abc.
PARAMETERS : abc RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1,
xyz RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1.
SELECTION-SCREEN : PUSHBUTTON /15(25) pb USER-COMMAND pp .
ABC, XYZ
AT SELECTION-SCREEN .
IF sy-ucomm = 'PP'.
%_abc_%_app_%-text = 'Hello Sir'.
%_xyz_%_app_%-text = 'How are u ?'.
ENDIF.
regards,
amit m.

Drag n Drop selected Text from Safari, chrome not working on indesign CC

In CS6 If we drag drop any selected text from any app on layout it work but in indesign cc it is working only with some app like TextEdit, notes etc. I knew that very few people have such use case but same is also not working from one of my cocoa app.
while debugging if i drop content from TextEdit and Notes app on some sample app I found that TextEdit & Notes App registered for this Extra Pasteboard type "com.adobe.indesign-import-ustl" and "com.adobe.indesign-import-styl" where as chrome and safari are not. similarly my app is registered only for "NSPasteboardTypeString" type. Is this is the limitation or bug of indesign?

Similar bug(#3710667) was exist in CC before 9.2.2 update as you can see in release notes of 9.2.2(CC last update) here. before fix simple selected text drag & drop did not work from any application except TextEdit .I have also spent hours before this update to find out bug I used ClipBoardViewer sample App to find out current Drop flavour and its content it may help you and before fix I find some workAround first is add flavour in your drop which Indesign understand even if you are not adding any data for that flavour so that you start receiving couldAcceptType() and under this call parse your actual data from PasteBoard and remove all data from pasteBoard so that another next helper will not consume it. as you mention even after adding text flavour your couldAcceptType() not hit so may be this WorkAround not work for you but it worked for me.
second is just a finding i.e before doing drag and drop on indesign create one new document (from Indesign UI not programmatically ) save it on disk close it and reopen it after it every drag & drop will start working work .

How can I select text in a thtmlb:tableview in a pop-up?

Hi,
We have a number of pop-up screens that contain thtmlb:tableview tags. For some reason, it is not possible to select text (left-mouse click then drag cursor) in these pop-ups. We are currently having to put any text that the user might want to select in disabled inputfields, but this looks rather ugly.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? The selection of text within tableviews works fine if the view isn't displayed in a pop-up.
Many thanks,
Andrew

HI Andrew,
I have a littel problem in understanding the business use case.
Why should the user want to copy the text from the view.He will either select a row,by using the seletion tabs at the side of the view.
But why woudl he actually copy the text by left clicking and dragging the mouse over the text.Doesn't look like a valid use case.
What i have implemened once is where the table in the pop up contains multiple fields,and the user wants the description (ie one field) to be populated automatically into the field after selection of that row in the table view.Thsi can be eaqsily achived by making the table view select option as true and changing the html code also to fetch the selected index.
After this, the selected entity can be obtained from the collection wrapper,since it becomes the current entity:
me->typed_context->(context node name)->collection wrapper->get_current()
Now the desired field from this entity can be copied into the field of your choice in the parent view.Also once the user clicks the selection tab to select the enitty,popup_close method shoudl be called and pop up shoudl be closed immediately.
All this processing should happen in an even handler eh_onselect().

How do you select text behind a shape in Pages 5.0?

I created a document in Pages 4.x in which I used rectangle outline shapes to create nice custom borders both for the page itself and for some contents in the body of document. (I've used text boxes before, but for this particular document the shapes worked much better and allowed for a look I couldn't achieve with text boxes.) Unfortunately, since updating to Pages 5.0, I can no longer select text within the shape spaces. In order to select and/or edit that text, I either have to delete the shapes first, or move them so that I can click inside the body of the document, and then use the arrows to get to the text I need to edit. This is very time-consuming. Is there an easier way to select text in the body of the document without having to move/delete the overlapping shape? This was easy to do in Pages 4.

Pablo,
Making the Shape or Text Box a Section Master will put it behind the text without having to delete or move it.
Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Section Master
and
Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Page
