Html text anchor tag uses the whole line

Here's one. When I pull in html formatted text into a text
field and set the paragraph to align right, the whole line is set
as a link.
Is there anyway to make it so the link is not made for the
whole line?
Example:
<p align="right"><a href="link">Link
Text</a></p>
Any help would be appreciated.

TIm,
Thanks for doing that. I came up with the same results. Since
I'm loading everything from external files, I wanted to shy away
from escaping all those characters. But, you definately helped me
come up with a solution.
I took some of my text links and dropped them all into a test
movie I had been working with and had accidently left the
<title> tag in the head, which shows up in the html. Needless
to say, the text "untitled document" did NOT have the hyperlink
applied to it.
So I got to thinking, "What if I put text before and after
the anchor tag." And sure enough. NO HYPER LINK on the new text. So
then I got to thinking, "Hmm. Maybe I'll just put a character in
before and after the hyperlink and set it's color to white so it
won't show up."
Sure enough it worked. So, that's my fix/workaround. If you
have a hyperlink that is aligned right and it shows up on the whole
line, put a character before and after the hyperlink and make it's
color the same as the background.
It worked, but
HELLO ADOBE / FLASH TEAM!!! Please fix the bug and implement
HTML 4.0 or above so we don't have to come up with these crazy
workarounds,
please.
Thanks everybody who helped out on this. Great community!

  • How can I make Color Tags color the whole line?!

    All,
    I have been using Color Tags every since they first  appeared on the Mac. It WAS great to color code files and folder of which I now have hundreds done that way. Problem is that now Apple has done away with the easy to see, easy to use colored line and replaced it with a stupid tiny dot. How can I get my colored lines back? Why does Apple keep changing things that have worked for year into things the are HARDER to use?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    "Labels" has been changed to "Tags" in Mavericks. It appears that you cannot modify the appearance of Tags in Mavericks at this point.
    There have been several threads on the subject in this forum, and the some of the suggested solutions are to revert your OS back to the system you had prior to Mavericks, or investigate 3rd party software such as Pathfinder, which allow you to modify the  presentation in the finder -

    Apple does not monitor these threads, so the only way to make sure way to make sure Apple hears your opinion on this is to give your feedback directly to Apple:

  • How to get the HTML data formatted display using the Rrt template

    hi,
    I have a table which has data with html tags in it.
    eg as shown below.
    sample text is as follows:
    <BR>
    <b>MY TEST HERE HAS SOME BOLD TEXT IN IT. THIS WHOLE LINE SHOULD BE BOLD</b><br>and the rest of the text will not be bold.
    <BR><br>
    now I want to be able to display this text with the proper format using BI publisher / rt template.
    my report shows the tags as is instead of being formatted.
    please let me know how i can fix this
    Thanks

  • AppleScript to delete the whole line if ..

    Im using the following code to find and replace with "target word" but I would like to DELETE the whole line instead of replacing the actual word.
    so it would be
    if the line contains www.network -> Delete the whole line.
    Thanks in advance!
    set theTargetWords to {"www.network"}
    tell application "Pages" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
      -- Open the "Find & Replace" window:
      keystroke "f" using command down
              repeat until exists window "Find & Replace"
              end repeat
              tell tab group 1 of window "Find & Replace"
      -- Adjust the settings:
      click radio button 2 -- Advanced
                        if value of checkbox 2 is 1 then click checkbox 2 -- Don't match case
                        if value of checkbox 3 is 1 then click checkbox 3 -- Whole words
                        if value of checkbox 1 is 0 then click checkbox 1 -- Search previous text (loop)
      click pop up button 1 -- find in
      click menu item 1 of menu 1 of pop up button 1 -- Entire document
      click pop up button 2 -- replace style
      click menu item 1 of menu 1 of pop up button 2 -- Any
      -- Delete every target word:
                        set value of text area 1 of scroll area 2 to ""
                        repeat with thisWord in theTargetWords
                                  set value of text area 1 of scroll area 1 to thisWord -- the target word
                                  click button "Replace All"
                        end repeat
              end tell
    end tell

    if you want to script an application, read and use the application scripting dictionary. using System Events to script the GUI is something you should only do as a last resort. It creates clunky, slow, overly complex, and breakable scripts.
    try this to start:
    tell application "Pages"
              delete (every paragraph of body text of document 1 whose contents contains "some key phrase")
    end tell

  • Can't change activation only mode to off using the command line in Windows 7 64 bit

    I used the command line to turn activation only mode on and now when I use teh command to turn it off it will not change the iTunes setup. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling and it is stillin activation only mode.

    Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
    Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
    Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
    The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
    If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
    BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
    I appreciate your help, thank you.

  • ITunes doesn't display the whole line

    Most of my iTunes looks like this:
    I have plenty of space on the screen, but can't see the whole line. Anyone know how to fix it.

    You signature shows you have Mac OS X 10.7.4.
    If you do not have an Info tab in iTunes, you have Mac OS X 10.9.

  • How to pass in variables using the command line when starting ActionScript native app

    How do I pass in variables or startup arguments using the command line when starting an ActionScript native app? For example, I have my app call MySweetWidget and it has been compiled with Adobe AIR captive runtime so now I have MySweetWidget.exe.
    In the command line, I am calling MySweetWidget.exe and would like to pass in variables or properties to the application. I would assume that those variables are then read from the loaderInfo.parameters object.
    Please let me know if the Adobe AIR runtime supports passing in parameters to the native runtime. If so, I would like help determining the correct format of how to pass in the variables. Then would you read those from the loaderinfo.parameters object?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I found the answer to my own question:
    Yes it is a supported feature. It is documented on the following page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApp lication.html#event:invoke
    When you subscribe to the invoke event of the NativeApplication it will subsequently dispatch the event and you read the e.arguments Array object to get the startup arguments passed into the native application.

    This one had me pulling my hair out. For someone's future reference, I may have found a solution via google, using this page:

    While typing in an email, I can not delete or backspace a single letter. When I delete one letter, the whole line disappear. I am using Window 7 and latest Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Using Firefox on my new machine with Window 7.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I cannot get my text to advance to the next line when hitting enter???

    I cannot get my text to advance to the next line when hitting enter.
    Any suggestions??

    When I open Keyboard Shortcuts, the name field under Set: is highlighted in dark blue.  I cannot type a name in it.  The button NEW SET remains ungray.  When I click on the button no change happens to allow me to create new set.
    I also noticed that I am unable to scroll down in the InDesign document using scroll off mouse.
    So I have to click and drag to get around not using the up/down arrows when moving the illustrations.
    If I have to enter text I will use storybook.
    If I have to delete text I will use the InDesign document.
    Very limited with the functionality - I was better off using Adobe InDesign 2.0!
    Will need more time to investigate why the keyboard and mouse are not being recognized.  At this time I will have to use the work-arounds to meet deadlines and revisit later.

    Hi Willcarter,
    It is all up to you. You can use the phone line which came with the printer or you can get a new one. It does need to be a 2-wire phone line though.
