IE 7 and Firefox 3 display issues - neither work as expected

hi,
I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out how to solve the 2 display issues I have on IE and Firefox. I can't get either one to work like it's supposed to.
I'm using RH8, Webhelp and it doesn't matter what skin I use (nothing custom, just what is available in RH).
On IE 7.0.5730.13, Webhelp only displays information in the information frame (text) when I attempt to resize the panes. If I just click and move my mouse just a little bit to expand the TOC text magically appears for THAT selected TOC topic only. If I move to another topic in the TOC, I have to do the same thing. And by resize, I mean, I click and move a millimeter and the stuff displays. Otherwise, if I do nothing, the TOC displays as expected but the text frame (contents) is blank.
On Firefox 3.5.6, the TOC pane does not display 100% vertically........it's cut off at the end of the TOC and contains scrollbars to move vertically and horizontally.
So, neither browser really works for me. Am I the only one?
I'm using RH 8.0.0.203
Any advice or suggestions are very much welcome.......

Ahhh, okay.
That actually seems to be providing a bit of a clue to the overall picture I might think. The icon should be kicking off a Dynamic HTML drop-down area.
Since the icon isn't seemingly doing anything in FF, it's logical to me that you somehow have JavaScripting turned off in FF. This can be done using an Add on product, which is why I asked.
It's also likely the reason for the super short TOC display. Typically the TOC depends on JavaScript to work its magick.
My thought here is that if you and Peter can determine where JavaScript is being turned off, you will solve the issues.
Cheers... Rick

Robohelp and Firefox display issues

I am using Robohelp 11, generating a Webhelp output. When I display the help in Firefox, the TOC is missing. This works fine in IE and Chrome. This also worked fine back in December, I believe when I had FF v34.05 installed, now with v35.0, the TOC/Index/Search info from my help systems is missing. Either let me go back to v34.0.5 or fix this asap. I need this for hundreds of customers!

Thanks. I have had this problem in the past with IE, have been given a java script to add to my help and it solved it!

10.5.3: Clamshell mode and 1080p display issues fixed?

Has the clamshell mode issue and 1080p display issue been fixed in 10.5.3? Are you able to shut your laptop and use 1080p on an external monitor without the **** thing freaking out?

Me and hundreds like had the issue when we upgraded to 10.5.2. It is a known but bug that when you start up the system an external display wouldn't be recognized in calibrated profiles (only at 1440x900). A work around was to start up then close the door immediately or boot up without external display connected and connect when completed booted.
I was told by support in Jan that there would be a fix in the next release (10.5.3 I presumed), but after installing it I have the same problem and the release notes don't mention it as repaired.

I have a HP pavilion dv2117tx notebook and my display isn't working.

Hi
I have a HP dv2117tx notebook and my display isn't working. The computer swithes on fine but the display isn't working at all. The display started experiencing problems a few months ago with intermitent lines on the screen. The frequency of the lines increased in the last month and now, the display isn't showing anything.
I would really appreciate any useful advice. Thank You

Hey @abhijeet_gdr ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your display has stopped working on your dv2 notebook.
First we should figure out if the issue is with the display or the GPU. Connecting a VGA display would be the ideal way to do this. If the VGA display works, the notebook screen is the problem. If the VGA display doesn't work chances are the GPU has failed which means a motherboard replacement.
If the VGA display works you could try reconnecting the display and inverter cables. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the service guide to give you the exact steps to do this. This could be due to the age of the product or that a service guide was not issued.
You can try contacting HP Phone Support for service but the age of the notebook will have an effect on the available replacement parts. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here. Your best bet might be to take the notebook to a local shop who should have the ability to diagnose the display and give you a quote for repair.
Hopefully this helps.

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

Audio and "multiple display" issues in Lion

Hi Guys
Since I installed Lion, I have the following issues:
DTS and 5.1 does not seem to be going out to my receiver. It worked with VLC and XBMC, now it only works with XBMC and no other player.
So if I try to use VLC I can move it over from the main desktop to my HD TV, but no DTS.
If I use XBMC i get full DTS but have no way of ruuning it on the HDTV because the multiple display options are gone from preferances!!!
I used to be able to turn off the 27 imac display and use the HDTV display, cant do that anymore.
Also the magic mouse now has a life of its own and jumps around for no good reason and sometimes dissapears all together.
Any help would be great. Seems to me like this "upgrade" is not much of one...
Instead of more usability, I now have way less.

Hi Andyjw
Assuming your machine has been behaving well for some time and this is just happening now suggests to me it's going to be bad news for you.
Before you take it to the repairers however, have you tried unplugging your iMac from the wall socket, waiting for, say, 10 minutes then plugging it back in again?
This is in addition to all the usual checks of course such as repairing permissions and so on.
Also, on one of your 'System' discs there should be an app called *Apple Hardware Test*. Have you tried that to see if it comes up with anything? I think you might have to boot from your System Disk to run Apple Hardware Test but I'm not certain about that.
Good Luck

Swf runs at wrong frames per second in Safari and Firefox on Mac, but works good in Chrome

Has anyone had this issue? I have a swf that plays at 30 fps. It works fine in Chrome on the Mac, but in Safari and Firefox it runs at around 53 fps. I'm even setting the frameRate of the stage (stage.frameRate = 30).
any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi stantony1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Wow, great work so far!
Temperature monitor within safe ranges under 70C for everything.
Hopefully way under, like under 60°C.?
MEMTEST Passed, no errors
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.
Memtest OS X...
http://www.memtestosx.org/joomla/index.php
Rember is a freeware GUI for the memtest ...
http://tech.kateva.org/2005/10/rember-freeware-memory-test-utility.html
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Does ȃfari crash it in Safe Mode???
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below.

Mac applications have blurry/fuzzy fonts and other display issues

About two days ago my MBP display started acting funny. To start, I noticed my itunes font started going blurry. The words in Word are fuzzy as well. Other apps like firefox and safari I can read just fine. Next, I noticed this (http://i.imgur.com/Hfhq0.png) happening. When I move a window in any application the window would automatically start getting larger. Next, this (http://i.imgur.com/6ySCT.png) became an issue. Notice the white at the bottom of the box. Finally this (http://i.imgur.com/wYdUe.png) reared it ugly head in firefox. I have no idea what's going on. Other forums and google have been no help at all and you guys are my final hope. If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks in advance for saving my baby.

OK I don't use a two-button mouse but control-click brings up that window for me and it displays fine just pulling the background image as the border with no white space ...
I'd guess it's something related to the background image you're using, have you tested the effect when you go back to a plain colour or an Apple supplied background ? What format is the image you've set as background png, jpg or something unusual ?

I tried opening a pdf file and I set it to use always and firefox which did not work, I was wondering how to undo that and what I should use to open pdf files in the future?

I was attempting to open a document from a frequently used site, I had never been on, on my new mac however. I attempted to open the pdf file and was given the option of which program to use to open it, I mistakenly clicked use always and firefox as the program with which to open pdf files. I do not know how to undo this or what I should do in the future to access the pdf files.

Hi Melfour-
Here is a Support article detailing how to work with your Firefox PDF preferences:

Hope that helps.

Messaging and Contacts Display Issue

Hello,
Having a problem where contacts are appearing as numbers instead of the contact name in the messages page. I have contact and it still says, "(xxx) xxx-xxxx."
I've deleted the messages, deleted and added the contact, removed the 1 before the area code from the number, and none of this has worked. This is a non jailbroken phone. Anyone else had this problem with a solution? Thanks!

I have the same issue.
I was abroad and made some calls to a contact.. Now that I am back in my country I have the problem that the number is not recognized as my contact number.
Does any one knows what is happening??

Firefox browser style.display issue (IE works fine)

I have a dropdown which calls javascript method on change the selection. In the JS function, initially i make one row div is invisible if dropdown if i selected 1 that row become visible if i select2 that row become invisible ...this works fine in IE..but in firefox its not working ..also it gives lot of space.. this is the code i am using
<div id="row">
<tr>
<td> <h:inputText value=""/></td>
</tr>
</div>
In java script
document.getElementById('row).style.display="none";
how can i solve this problem

This is simply invalid HTML. Hide the actual row, not the div. Technically move the id="row" to the tr element and throw that div element away from the table.

I have uninstalled Firefox through the add/remove section of the control panel, and it is no longer listed, but it is still on my computer. Both regular firefox and firefox portable are still usable on my computer, and the uninstalls for neither work.

I'm using firefox 3.6.11, and windows xp. I've manually searched the uninstall prompts in the firefox folder, but they do not work.
I need to uninstall firefox as it uses more of my memory, especially with the new plug-in bin container, and my little netbook just can't handle it. (Hence why I tried installing the portable version, but whenever I try to use it the main firefox starts up as well - even though I have uninstalled it).
Thanks for any help!!

The following link shows you what files/folders to remove if the uninstaller does not work - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

Need help with Firefox display issue on one page of site

I have a page that W3C validates, displays properly in IE and Netscape, but does not display properly in Firefox. The issue is with a style class applied to the inner centered table. class= "vert_table" This class works on all of the other pages in the site, but not in this one.
The page:
http://www.redshift.com/~lorac/sdy-46-49.html
The issue:
< table class="vert_table" width="760" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" bgcolor="#f1ebe8" >
The vertical rule does not display, and further down the page a dark left-right border appears starting with this text.
my mother, when I was wasting my life away not knowing who I was,
and ends with:
Mojin: (hugging him) I don't expect you to love me. I just want you to live, that's all.
I have been looking through this code for two days, searching for any offending omission in code or redundancy that would break the page. I've searched for missing div tags but none are apparent to me. I'm hoping someone with fresh eyes can spot it right away.
It's odd that the page validates but Firefox cannot display it properly.
Sample page of code working properly:
http://www.redshift.com/~lorac/sdy-41-45.html
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. Your suggestions sound interesting but I'd like to figure out why this particular page doesn't work when all of the others do. I'm sure it's just a little code thing that I'm overlooking.
I could revert back to a saved page, but I updated text and images on this page before the verticle border broke, so I don't want to lose those edits. And that is why I'd like to fix this one instead of redesigning the page.
BTW, I forgot to mention in my first post, GoLive CS, W2K.
