How to stay on the same space when closing a window?

I love multiple workspaces but ever since I came to OSX a feature is driving me nuts.
Every time I close a window, the previous window comes in focus, and if that window was on a different workspace, the OS switches to that desktop. This can be disabled from System Prefferences > Mission Control > When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application.
BUT. I DO want that, when I cmd tab to a window, I DO WANT to go to a different space when I switch to an application. But when I close a window, I don't want my desktop to be flying around like crazy, it's confusing. I would prefer instead of switching to the last application in the stack to switch to the front-most application on the current space (that's natural since it's in there, in front of you). I can do all the switching I want after that. It's not ok if the desktop is flying around on its own, but it's ok if it flies around when I ask it, that's it .
If there's no window on a space after I close something I would still prefer to stay on the same space and switch manually afterwards.
Is there any way to do this?

Here's an approach:
Delete your existing Create button and then redefine it as a copy of Create & Exit.
Then create two Page Branches, one that branches back to your Menu when the Create & Exit is pressed and another Page Branch that remains on your current page when the Create button is pressed.

How can I stay on the same line when inputting values in the CLI?

The title is a bit vague i know :) but i have this issue which isn't really a problem but it would be better if I can solve it.
Intro)
I've made this simple addition (and more options but thats not relevant) application for kids in my spare time so that they can train their maths in school and compare their results with other students which is saved in the database using the hypersonic DB that comes with the JBoss application server.
Now so far so good, but i'm having an issue with the Scanner (I think, but i doubt its because of the CLI) , when i enter a number or text it works and exceptions will be catched etc but when i press the enter key without anything entered the input value wil be displayed a line below and that's not what I want. I want it to stay in the same line.
Sample CLI output:
bla application

I want the input to stay in the same line unless you have typed something. I feel silly for not knowing how to handle this.
Hm.. i'll tried to solve it myself but it seems that im unable to do that.
/me takes a quick coffee break and will look at the code again after that *

How can I display the same page when I'll press

i have a jsp page. It contains user name & password.
and a link like SIGNOUT COMPLETELY. when i press the back button it should show only this page.
You have noticed one thing that when u sign out from YHAOO MAIL then a page is displayed
USERNAME : [email protected]
PASSWORD :XXXXXXXXXX
SIGNOUT COMPLETELY
when this page is dispalyed and u press the back button of the browser
it displays the same page. How it happens?

Kindly neglect the previous post.....
Okay check something like this
1).maintain either a HttpSessionListener or a session flag try to checkout whether the user is active or else close the PrintWriter.
2).Prevent caching of the webpage by using customary meta tag or by response,setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
way...
Guess tht shud work.....

My source file does not stay in the same order when imported to Target

Hi Gurus,
I am importing a file using the LKM to SQL to a target datastore on Oracle. I am using the IKM SQL Control Append but my problem is in my target datastore the order that the flat file is in is not longer together. I added a ROWNUM column and triggered a sequence but the order from the flat file is still not the same as the table. I need the order to remain the same b/c during the load to Planning it holds the metadata order correctly.
Could someone give me a suggestion.
Thanks
Mike

Are you using the Planning Metadata load KM. If so there is an option on that KM Called Load by Input Order which repsects the order of your data in the source when loading to Planning

Stay on the same page when applying changes

I have a simple master detail form where we have master form and tabular detail on the second page. The first page has a master form in read only as per standard wizard creation. When I delete and or make changes to the detail the app by default commits and navigates to the master read only page 1. My requirement is to stay on the second page after every update or delete to the detail tabular section . Does anyone have any hints ?

Look at the page branches. There will be one or more which goes to the first page. Change it to go to the current page instead of the first page.

How to stay on the same page after submitting the Page to commit the row.

I have a page where I am accepting a ket column from the users , Now I want to have to buttons where user can enter one row and click 'Create & Exit' which would them to the menu. But another button would be 'Create' that would create the row in the table would keep user on the same page , so he/she can enter more rows.
My 'Create & Exit' button has settings in 'Actions when Button Clicked'
Action - Submit Page
Execute Validation - Yes
Database Action - SQL INSERT Action.
My 'Create' button has settings in 'Actions when Button Clicked'
Action - Redirect Page in this application
Page - 9 (Same page)
Database Action - SQL INSERT Action
When this didn'tr work
I changed
Set This items - All the variable from the table
With These Values - All the variable from the page
Still this doesn't work.
I very new to APEX application.

Here's an approach:
Delete your existing Create button and then redefine it as a copy of Create & Exit.
Then create two Page Branches, one that branches back to your Menu when the Create & Exit is pressed and another Page Branch that remains on your current page when the Create button is pressed.

How do I hide the address bar when fullscreening "popup" windows?

Sky TV's video player has a bad fullscreen implementation - you can make the player go true fullscreen but it reverts when it loses focus, so I can't multitask on my two monitors.
The best workaround I've found is to use their "pop-out" player, which opens a new "popup"-style window (locked address bar, no search bar etc.) and I can then fullscreen the window itself (rather than the player). This allows me to hide
- the window outline
- the window title bar
- the Windows start menu
and it stays fullscreened when it loses focus.
However, this does not hide the window address bar. On a normal Firefox fullscreened window this slides out of view after a short time; on the locked "popup" style window it does not.
On the offchance that treating "popup" windows differently is a deliberate Firefox security policy... can I disable it?

You only need to select the pop-up window after having opened the Browser Console or open the console before opening the pop-up to make that window the MostRecentWindow.

How do I remove the white space when importing a site from Flash?

Okay, so I've dragged and dropped my created Flash site into Dreamweaver. One problem though, when I view it in a web browser (any web browser), it displays the site fine, however with a huge white space to the side of it. You'll see what I mean in this screenshot:
What can I do then to remove that white space and make the site fill up the whole web browser? I've tried resizing it using a number of ways, but cannot seem to get it right.
Thanks.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

You can do two things:
1) Change the width of the container to 100%; OR
2) Post a link to your test page here (not the code nor picture) so that we can see ourselves what your code looks like.

How do I remove the extra space when I manually changed a component ?

Hi,
I have changed a , lets say 10cm² component to 2cm² component by hand. Now I am stuck with some 8cm² extra space where I can not place any other component in.
I know I have changed it in the passed but I can't figure out how I did it.
Any suggestions?

Can I get Numbers to stay on the same spreadsheet when it updates from iCloud?

I have Numbers open on my iMac, my iPad, and my iPhone. When I change an entry, and it updates the other devices, it defaults back to the first spreadsheet. I have a budget spreadsheet, and each month is a new sheet. I have it on October, but when it updates, the other devices go back to January, and at 125% zoom. Also, when I start the spreadsheet, it also defaults back to January. It did not do that prior to the new version.
Can I fix that?

Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can I keep apps in the same spaces?

I must be missing something, but -- in OS 10.6, I could use spaces to make sure my frequently used apps opened in the same spot, and not on top of each other. How can I accomplish the same thing in Lion?
Thanks

Hi kelori617,
If you are having issues organizing the Apps on your iPhone via iTunes, you may want to double-check the steps in the following article and make sure you are syncing any changes to your device:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12315
If all of the steps are correct and the changes still aren't being retained when you restart your iPhone, you may want to make sure your data is backed up, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, restore your data from the backup, then test to see if you can organize your apps via iTunes:

After closing out, FF will not restart, says it is already running forcing me to reboot. I have removed and re-installed FF and still get the same message when trying to open the internet using FF. How can this be fixed?

When I close out Firefox, and return later to use the internet, I click on Firefox and it gives me a message stating that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed before restarting or reboot my system. This occurs every time Firefox is closed and attempt to re-start it,,, not only at times,,,, EVERY time.
I have tried removing Firefox from my system and re-installing to fix this issue however,,, this did not work. After re-installing, I still get the same message when attempting to restart Firefox.
I have also tried Ctrl, Alt, delete to open the task manager and find there is no task to close.
I do not have any problems when using IE, I prefer to use Firefox as it is faster and crashes less than IE.
I am very frustrated at having to reboot my system each time I want to use the internet.
How can this problem be repaired?

There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.
