I cannot use my mouse click on parts of many web pages

Mouse click works while in IE or Safari. Only doesn't work in Firefox

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Cannot use right mouse to show shortcut menu

Dear all,
On SBO screen, I cannot use right mouse click to show shortcut menu on every field or every area that SBO provide shortcut menu. I cannot use on one database but I can use right mouse on other database ( same client ). Does there is any problem or there is any set up for this operation.
Thanks you in advance,
Angnam

Dear Angnam,
If you have source code of SDK and resource to check the code, you can find why the right mouse has been blocked. Then you can find solution. Otherwise, you have to decide which one is more important. In other word, you cannot use the current problematic addon with right mouse at the same time.
Thanks,
Gordon

Using CTRL+Mouse Click as Action

I recorded a s/w simulation where I want the user to follow a sequence of keystrokes to ensure comprehension. I came across one sequence which I cannot get to work. I go into properties of the click box and select Actions>Shortcuts to record the key sequence CTRL + Left Mouse click but it does not record the CTRL key when combined with the mouse click. If I use CTRL plus some other keyboard key it works fine. Currently using the mouse click alone will allow the user to go to the next step but in the s/w this will not work so could be misleading.
Does anyone know how to overcome this hurdle or if it is a s/w limitation do you have any suggestions to mitigate it? I was thinking of having the key sequence as a test question to ensure those taking the course absorbed the information.
I found another thread a couple of years ago where it sounded like it was not possible but was curious if things have changed as I am using Captivate 5.
Thanks
Roshan

Hi Roshan,
The "CTRL+Mouse Click " can't be used as shortcut key for a click box in Captivate 5.
Thanks,

still having same problems.
is this the only way to get support from firefox? where are the developers that write the code? or someone directly responsible for the product? i don't expect an end user to help but this is ridiculous. the windows version works fine but the mac version doesn't. i'm running both on the same machine so it's not the hardware (running windows as a virtual guest in parallels).

I installed an update and now I cannot use the mouse since it might select anything in the different pages I have tried.

Since yesterday, when I installed a firefox update, I cannot use the mouse to select pages. When selecting an drop down menu, I need to use the keyboard. When opening a file, it does not allow me to select the forefront window. Basically, the mouse is useless. This happens in different webpages and these pages work well in Chrome or Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Pls fix. Even for posting this question, I need to use the keyboard to use the drop down menu below.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

Configuring active x container to show only part of a web page (net camera)

I've been working on an interface controlling a goniometer for crystal alignment.
A NETcam has been plugged into the network and streams a live image from the equipment being moved by the controls.
I need to integrate the NETcam into the control panel.
I've managed to do this but the actual NETcam has a built in homepage on it with few custom features to ammend a custom page fully.
I am stuck with the streaming image in the middle of a web page from the active x window.
Is there any way I can cut out part of a web page to view only a certain area of it with no scroll bars aswell? The cam is an AXIS2100.
James.

James,
Take a look at the code for the web page. You may find that the camera is itself either another URL, or an image that is part of the page. I haven't worked with this type of data before, but I have worked extensively with web content and HTML, as well as browsers.
You can try several things. If the camera has a URL, use datasocket to link to that. If the image is a separate link, which you can tell by right clicking on the webcam image and clicking "save link as...", then you can setup your browser to look at this image only.
If you can, post the URL for the page you are having problems with, or email me the source for it, and I will try to help.
Good luck

How to take parts of a web page and feed into a PDF template to create a PDF

Interesting quesiton that I think was what LiveCycle was for: How can someone take parts of a web page or xml document (say by id name or a specialized tag) and feed the chosen items into different regions inside a PDF template?
Basically, can you identify areas on a page and then tie them to place holders in a pdf template (with high res graphics say) and create a PDF?
Please note: this is not about converting a whole webpage to a pdf, but select portions of it.
Anyone have experiences in doing this? So far, it appears to require a toolset like LiveCycle or Adlib to utilize only selected items and not the whole page.

The lack of answers is likely due to folks having no clue. What you have asked is not really the purpose of either Acrobat or LiveCycle, but that is not to say it can not be done. A starting point is to bring a WEB page into Acrobat as a PDF. This can be done by printing from the browser to the Adobe PDF printer, using PDF Maker with IE or FIrefox, or simply creating directly in Acrobat. Those are the normal ways to get things from a web page to a PDF.
That said, it is not what you asked. You are asking about being able to parse parts of the web page. That is a lot more work and may not be directly possible, though with JavaScript it might be possible. I suspect that if it is possible you would require a lot of extra programming to allow the material selection. It may be the folks in the SDK sub-forum can help.
Being I have no clue how to implement what you have asked (and probably no one else either), I can only suggest some things to look at or other places to inquire. If you think the XML of LiveCycle would help, then you might try the LiveCycle forum.
In terms of your post, I really don't remember seeing the original, but that was right near the end of the semester and I was not checking the forum very much. There are various reasons folks may not reply, typically because they have no clue. Templates are also somewhat specialized and there are not many posts about them. My guess is that the template aspect may have had a lot of folks skip the post. In any case, I have tried to give you some thoughts.

HT4356 How can I airprint part of a web page?

How can I airprint part of a web page using iPad and Safari?

Copy (or cut) the area you want to print, and paste it in to a new document.
Or take a screen shot (by simultaneously holding Shift + Command + 4 keys) of the area you want to print, then print the resulting screen shot file (which appears on your desktop).

Clicking a link on a web page is taking me to an advertising site not the page it should go to.

When I click a link on a web page it will take me to an advertising page not the page it should take me to. This is only happening with firefox not the other browsers I use. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and this did not solve the problem.
Thanks for any help.
Larry

Thanks OldFox
Downloaded one of the listed antimalware software and ran it. It seems to be working ok now.
Thanks for your help.

A split screen feature would hold part of the web page static and allow scrolling through the rest, can it be done?

I would like to be able to hold one part of a web page static while scrolling further down, most usually when following an onscreen tutorial on fixing something with 8.1, (pretty much an everyday occurrence).
This feature would be similar to that in Office programs like excel.
Is this feasible or must I open the same web page in different windows?

See if this still works.

Although Firefox is used by P-02E of DoCoMo, there are too many web pages which crash in the middle of drawing.

If it is going to see specific URL, it will force to terminate certainly.

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This doe not accure usingg IE 8.0 with the same printer.

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This problem also occurs with the web page on which this question is submitted. This doe not occur using IE 8.0 with the same printer.

These have nothing to do with Firefox.
C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\Connect

and
C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\Desktop\Malware Removal Programs\eXplorer.exe
This one - C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ak4dv58c.default\extensions\ \components\afom.exe - is probably the '''AFOM - Memory Recovery & Retention For Firefox Only''' extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922/
My advice is to uninstall that extension. IMO, you have too many extensions installed, and are asking for problems with Firefox. I am not against using a lot of extensions in Firefox ''(I typically have 45 to 50 extensions installed, but the mix of extensions you have scares me as potentially problematic.)''

Printing part of a web page in Safari

Hi. Is there a way I can highlight part of a web page and print just that part? I'm new to Macs I have only had my new Mac for less than one week!

You can download and install Print Selection Service and that should solve your problem.

I can't navigate between tabs using a mouse click since I installed latest version of Firefox

Running ver 30. which is fine, but I cannot switch between open tabs using a left mouse click on the tab I wish to activate, as I have been doing for years. Have to use Ctrl-Tab instead. Don't like this. This problem started with this version of FF.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
