IE 8 shows web pages as Local Intranet

My computer runs Win Xp3 SP3 and IE8.. My issue is that 90% of my web pages when browsing are shown as local Intranet ones and NOT Internet pages as I would expect. I don't have an Intranet, or so I believe. One computer,wired to modem to
Phone line thats it.
I do have laptops that wirelessly connect to modem but not permanantly nor have I set them up as a network with the main computer. They show all sweb site pages as "internet."
This local intranet ident is alarming me as I am worrying that someone is now able to look over my shoulder and see what I am doing ie shopping on line, paying bills, credit cards etc.
Should I be worried??
Cheers
Bob

Here are some rules that determine a site belongs to the Local Intranet Zone, I suspect that some of your settings cause the wrong determination, please check the following rules.
Direct Mapping
The PlainHostName rule (aka "The Dot rule")
The fixed Proxy Bypass list
(WPAD) Proxy Script
Detailed information is described in the following articles
The Intranet Zone

Will not show web page on windows high contrast

Hi,
Am running Windows 7 64bit
my problem is as follows.
I normally run Windows in high contrast mode and would prefer all web sites to be on the dark side.
Occasionally I need to be able to see a web page as its designers intended it to be.
So I want to have the text white and background black and then the ability to toggle between that and the web page's own colour scheme.
Thought I'd found exactly what I needed in the add-on "Toggle Document Colors 1.0"
Am presuming it toggles the status of the "Allow pages to choose their own colours..." tick box.
This setting seems to get lost when FF closes. Even if I set the tick box myself and then close FF it is gone when I reopen FF.
If the box is ticked and a page refreshed it still does not show web page colours ?
Without any addons at all after a reset and only using the colours dialog I cannot get it to behave.
If you start in Windows white mode (normal) things are better even after FF close. Change to Windows black mode (high contrast) things start off ok then after you close FF it will not work
If there is a solution I would love to know it.
Will settle for a workaround.
Considered using old version of FF, but this is not really a good idea.
Really don't want to go back to IE
in hope ... Bob

iTunes does not yet support Windows 8, so there may not be a fix until such time as Apple releases a version of iTunes that does support 8. You can search this forum for "windows 8", though, and perhaps you'll find a suggestion in one of the other threads on the issue.

Firefox does not show web page graphics or icons, mostly blanks or boxes with type.

With one of the recent updates, Firefox shows web pages without the clickable graphics, such as this page (Ask a New Question) where above the details box, there are only two vertical lines. I know there should be something in those spaces, cause when I click in them something happens - like a dialogue box pops up or a word gets inserted into this typing. This is consistent on all web pages. Major photos show, just not the little graphics. Icons or graphics that are visible sometimes are offset (ex: this page has an arrow in a green box over lapping the outline of the Search Firefox Help box). Other than that, this page has only two other graphics, it's all type. Thanks.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Web Page composer : Localizing Web Sites

Hi,
           I have done a PoC on Localizing Web Sites in web page composer. As you may be aware localization comes with 2 variants. One is the language and the other is the "Region" variant.
           I have created region variants in KM admin and have created Web Content using language and region variants. I am able to see the language variants working successfully when the user changes the language.
           But how do I get the region variants to work? Online [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/46/792f9b608c0ad3e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm] s says "...to select the ....region for displaying Web pages, select Personalize in the portal masthead...".
           My challenge is...
          1) How do I get to view and select the "regions" i have created in KM to show up in User Personalization ?
          2) My UME is on ABAP stack. How do I get this to work ?
         Any help on this will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Winston

Hi Winston,
To enable end user selection by end user of region, check the configuration steps [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/71b0701a3601dce10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] under the section titled Selection by user: Adding an iView for personalizing the region in the portal.
Hope this helps.

Ios not showing web pages correctly

Anyone know why some database driven web pages show up fine on Macs, Windows, android, linux, etc but not in ios?
This page works fine apart from when viewed on iphone/ipads. The schedule page is blank on iphones/ipads. All browsers
http://www.metrosoccerny.com/schedule.php?seasonid=394

Not sure if this will help or not, but I read a previous post and it mentions DNS settings being configured incorrectly. Take a look at the article that they posted http://macs.about.com/od/faq1/f/browserdns.htm

Show web page within abap web dynpro

Hi,
I am looking for a way to show a web page (like www.google.com for instance) inside an abap web dynpro application.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Regards,
Bert

I dont think you can open a Web Browser within a Browser.
But you can call the URL in a new window using the following code;
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
EXPORTING
    URL            = 'http://www.google.co.in/'
    MODAL          = ABAP_FALSE
    HAS_MENUBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
    IS_RESIZABLE   = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_SCROLLBARS = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_STATUSBAR = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_TOOLBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
    HAS_LOCATION   = ABAP_TRUE
RECEIVING
    WINDOW         = lo_window.lo_window->open( ).

Not showing web pages

Firefox is not showing any page; all the content is in absolute white; the source code is the same. The Antivirus and the spyware is not detecting any issue in the machine. The others browsers are working normally. I tried to unnistall the software, reinstall, update and nothings solve the problem.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Archives shows web page information

I am trying to hide my info and I have been able to hide the web address and rename it thru Godaddy.
The archives button and the search button shows my dot Mac info.
Is there a way of hiding the info from those two search buttons.
I have removed both buttons to avoid the issue for the Time being.
Any thoughts or web info site I can go to ??
Greg

The information page must contain end point wise information displayed.
Each end point information contains web service address, WSDL address(you are looking for this I hope), Implementation class etc.
Also, try giving *?wsdl* parameter at the end of your web service address, it must lead you to the WSDL file of the web service.

How can I change my settings to show web pages in English on Firefox do to I rescently move to Germany and everything opens in German and not English?

I moved to Germany and now all my pages start in German instead of English, how can I fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I move to Germany

Some sites automatically redirect you to a site in the local language.
There is usually a link on such websites choose a language or go to an international version that allows to chose the language.
If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

E2500 Shows Web Pages Blank White

This router will display some web sites in blank white pages occasionally. I at first thought the site might have been banned by the IP. Possibly a security setup on my computer. Modem problem. This desktop computer is "wired" to the router. I plugged the computer ethernet wire directly into the modem and the problem went away.
Is this a known issue? If so, is there a fix. If not, any recommendations?

Solved!

Hi rwmol1945,
It's good that you were able to isolate this matter. I suggest that you update the router's firmware. Have you tried using other browsers? I have encountered this one before with my EA4500. Got it resolved by updating the router's firmware. In case updating it won't work, you may proceed on resetting and configuring the router again.

Loading mulitple Adobe Flash web pages makes mouse cursor disappear

I have a 2011 Mac Mini with OSX 10.7 Lion Server
Regardless of the Browser used - if I load mulitple Adobe Flash based Flickr photo slide show web pages, after 15 seconds my Mouse Cursor completely disappears and makes navigating the mac rather impossible.
Its really buggy and forces me to click or "right click" (Option Click) randomly on the Desktop with the hope that I might briefly see the cursor return so I can close the browsers.
Does not matter if i use Safari, Firefox or Chrome.
These are the pages in question which give me grief -
http://www.flickr.com/groups/warbirds/pool/with/8032123616/lightbox/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/show/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/show/
must click the "play " to start the slide show, have all three running at the same time.
And withing 10 seconds on my mac mini - NO Curser.
Even if I try to move the mouse outside the Browser display area - to where i clairvoyantly might consider the cursor should be over the Desktop.
Typically results in the invisible cursor accidently creating numerous new folders on the desktop, as I frantically attempt to make the cursor re-appear.
Totally maddening - and I have the Identical problem on Two separate 2011 Macs. (iMac 27 and Mac Mini)
My local Apple Genius Bar support person suggested I back up my data and perform "OSX Recovery"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Stating its possble that my Adobe Flash was installed wrong.
I have the latest updates
OSX 10.7.4
Flash Version 11.4.402.265

Update.
This solved the problem
My local Apple Genius Bar support person suggested this sequence and it fixed my disappearing cursor!
1) Back Up personal Data
2) Perform "OSX Recovery"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
3) Perform the Apple Software update
4) Then install latest Adobe Flash
This fixed my problem!
Now I'll do the same fix for my 2011 iMac 27" with the identical issue.

Acrobat File Not Found After Printing Web Page

Here is my problem:
I am trying to print a web page from our intranet but once the process is complete, a log file opens saying:
"The system cannot find the file" and then it lists the file I just tried to create.
The page is basic HTML with a small amount of Javascript. Disabling the Javascript had the same problem.
The page is about 30 pages long. Only printing the first page had the same problem.
Printing to PDF on an external site had the same problem.
I tried the same process in Office and ran into the same problem.
Here is what I am doing:
I am opening the web page in the browser. I go to File > Print. I select "Adobe PDF" as my printer. I do not make any edits to the settings.
Here is my environment:
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Windows XP SP3.
Tried it both in Firefox 3.6 & IE 7.
"Acrotray.exe" is running in the background.
Acrobat is completely updated.
Is it a setting issue? Possibly a software conflict issue?
Thanks,
-B

Thanks for the reply!
Here are answers to your questions:
No, I cannot print to PDF from other applications.
I do have have the checkboxes to request filename and open in Acrobat selected.
I do not get an error from Distiller during the process of creating a PDF. It isn't until it is completely done that the log file pops up that simply says, "The system cannot find the file" and lists the file location (i.e. c:\users and settings\desktop...).
Beyond that log file, it looks like everything is running fine.
Let me know if any other information that will help.

Strange behaviour on preloading web page in WebView

I have the following problem: In my Swing application i'd like to show a web page. In order to do so i use a JFXPanel that contains a WebView. The web page should be loaded in the background and just if the loading process is totally completed i want to make the JFXPanel visible. I use the getLoadWorker().workDoneProperty() method of the corresponding WebEngine to determine if the page is totally loaded.
The problem is, that at the moment the JFXPanel gets visibile I see at first a totally empty panel, and only after a short time the web page in the WebView is visible. I have made a simple Demo Application that reproduces this behaviour. If the page is loaded a button gets enabled and a click on that button adds the WebView to the panel below. Furthermore the following link points to an animated gif which demonstrates the behaviour: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=oh66bl&s=5#.Ujv2IhddWKl
Here is the code of the demo application:

   final WebViewTest navDummy = new WebViewTest();
f.getContentPane().add(navDummy);
f.setVisible(true);
I don''t understand this behaviour in fact that the page should already been loaded. For mee it seems like the WebView starts renderering the site just at the moment when it gets visible. What can I do to achieve that the WebView already shows the loaded web page at the moment it gets Visible (to avoid this flickr effect)?
I have already posted this issue at StackOverflow (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18873315/javafx-webview-loading-page-in-background ) but didn't get an answer there and found this forum today.
Thanks in advance!

Try the updated version in this post.
It forces an offscreen snapshot before displaying the webview to ensure all of the rendering is done before the WebView is displayed.
The code is kind of ugly and the "solution" is a bit of a hack, you would probably want to clean it up a bit before using it anywhere (for example it is unnecessary to create a new WebView and snapshot the web page on every load - I just did that to get a feel for a worst case scenario and to try to pinpoint where slowdowns are occurring).
A small rectangle moves back and forth across the top of the screen so that animation smoothness can be monitored.
On the first load there will be a slight stutter in the animation, however the rendered web page appears instantly when the clicks the "Show page" button.
As you say, the stutter only occurs the first time the page is loaded, subsequently everything is smooth. If you use a regular progress bar rather than an animation, then the initial stutter is likely fine, as people expect to see pauses in progress bars from time to time (most progress reported by progress bars isn't a smooth linear progression). My guess is that, if you use a regular progress bar, the behaviour experienced with this sample is likely acceptable to almost all users.
Regarding the differences between rendering between JavaFX 2.2 and JavaFX 8, there were many modifications to the internal JavaFX architecture for JavaFX 8 that improved the rendering performance, so that likely accounts for the delta.

Automator click link on web page

Is there a way to use Automator to click a link on a web page? I print to a Toshiba copier that requires me to input a code to validate the print job. I would like Automator to:
1. Go to the web page (on our intranet) in Safari
2. Click the bullet for my print job
3. Select "Release" to release the print job, which brings a popup screen
4. Type in a pre-programmed print code (five digit number) in the entry box on the popup screen
5. Click the "Enter" radio button on the popup screen
6. Close the Safari window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi
thanks.
giving the link is a little bit difficult:
when i copy the link that is embedded in the graphic advertising the product, it initially resolves to a double-click site, but then eventually resolves to the iTunes app store Safari page advertising that product. it is after that page is resolved in Safari that the mac App Store app opens automatically and goes straight to apple server page that advertises that product.
I can give you the link to the apple page itself, but thats not the problem because that link does not subsequently open the App Store app.
i hesitate to give the name of the product in this forum for obvious reasons.
its just so odd - this automatically opening an app. never seen it before happening on a mac. thats why i thought if the App Store app was just a browser window that that behaviour would be acceptable (even though I so have Safari set to open in a new tab - not a completely new window).
if you email me i will send you the very very long link that can be copied that is embedded in the graphic, and i can send you a screen shot of the safari page it is happening on.
since ads are so much specific to what ever IP address / region / country you access it from, even if you have the same web link to the original site where this ad is currently on there is no guarantee you will see that ad when you access that site since your location is different from mine.
i wonder if apple is testing a new jump that goes direct from an ad such as this directly to opening App Store, eventually bypassing the intermediate apple explanation page.
stumped.
thanks

We cannot get the web pages to fill the screen they are in the middle about half of total screen. Geek squad was no help!

Yesterday our hp desktop, 23inch touch screen was showing web pages full screen, today it is not. Instead it looks like a page within the screen covering about half of total screen width. we have gone into "view" and selected full screen and there is a blip and it changes incrementally. Is this a Firefox problem or adjustment needed in this area?
