How to preven "00%" corruption at end of URLs pasted in to the address box?
I find that 00% - i.e. 3 particular characters - gets added onto the end of URLs that I copy from various applications running in Windows 2000 in Virtual PC and then paste into the Safari address box on the Mac side.
To date I have remove the 3 characters manually. It's a bit of a nuisance. Is there a way to prevent the addition of the 3 characters?
Hello Tom
Please pardon my delay in responding.
Here's what happens when I do as you suggested.
When I copy URLs from IE6 in Virtual PC and then paste them into the address bar in Safari, the URL in the address bar looks good until I hit the "return" key. At that time, the three characters "%00" appear, appended at the end of the URL. More often than not, Safari cannot then find the desired web site. Occasionally Safari does find it.
Alternatively, after I hit the "return" key and see the "bad" URL, sometimes Safari hangs" - i.e. Safari effectively freezes (apart from the spinning polychrome ball). The only remedy then is to force quit Safari.
I wonder if this is related to all the multitude of postings in this discussion group about Safari hanging!! If so, it might yield an important clue as to the reason for the hanging of Safari.
As to your other suggestion - i.e. of emailing URLs from Virtual PC to the Mac side - that works fine. After receiving the URLs in the MAc, I can either click on them in the email message or copy them and paste them into the address bar of Safari, and Safari then performs beautifully.
What do you make of all that now?

How do I get pop-up windows to show the navigation buttons (not just the address box)?
When I click on a link that opens a new firefox window, the new window shows a navigation toolbar that does not include the back, forward, stop, and home buttons (it only shows the internet address box). However, the original firefox window that I navigated away from shows all of the navigation buttons AND the address bar. How do I get these new firefox windows to show the navigation buttons in addition to the address box that automatically appears?

How to get rid of /j2ee prefix from URL when I use the OC4J via Oracle HTTP server
In 9iAS 9.0.2 Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is pre-configured to assign requests to the Home OC4J instance via the URL-prefix "/j2ee"/
For example, the TEST servlet under OC4J would be passed through OHS using:
http://urmachine:urApachePort/j2ee/TEST
whereas in the standlone OC4J version, this URL works:
http://urmachine:urOC4JPort/TEST

I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form
Hey john@adobe,
Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.
Regards,

How can I get rid of the drop down suggestion box that appears as soon as I type the first letter in the address box? Runnung 7.1.2
Writelady,
I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
I hope that this helps,

How can I restore getting addressess to suggest contact in the address box?
RE:outgoing email: Until yesterday, when I entered one or two letters in the address box, names from my contact list that were close to the ones I put in were listed. Now that doesn't happen. How can I restore that feature?
You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images and Control-click on each file and open it using Preview. Then you can export the image if you choose. Just keep in mind that these will be thumbnail quality, so don't expect large images, either in file size or physical size.

I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.
Smurfslayer wrote:
For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well. It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot). Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

Why are you addressing this to me...?
I am not the OP... -
Right now, the address line in my address box, at the top of the page, begins "https://support", all in light gray, followed by "mozilla.com", in black, followed by "/en-US/questions/new?product=.......etc.", all in light gray on a white backround, so it is almost unreadable. Why did this start happening, and how do I change this, so that the address is all black on white, and not half gray and half black?
You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -

How does the "book" icon in the address box operate?
Next to some web pages' addresses there is a little icon to the right that looks like a book opened to some pages. When pressing this the page changes to a different view. Pressing the Back hardware button will take you back, but I would like to know how if you've changed tabs and read other pages. Thanks for your help.
Hi scottjarrett,
Thanks for this question, this is the new reader mode feature, that enables you to save web pages offline for reading later. There is a new help article that describe it at a high-level here [[How to enable Reader Mode in Firefox for Android?]] .
Hope this helps,

Photoshop doesnt have an ability to fill a text box so you will have to create a layer underneath the text layer. A shape layer work work well. That can be filled and stroked quite easily with editability.
