Java Script doesn't work on Firefox 8?

I have noticed that (some) Java Script does not work on Firefox 8.0. Is there a correction for this?

Yep, go back to what works, appears to be the only real solution. But then you'd hardly be able to use Firefox as nothing is going to get fixed there only get broken.
What does not work is
# move, and resize of main window not allowed
# that include wiping out a lot of keyword shortcuts that do that
# various additional collateral damage
The solutions (work arounds) that I can best offer are clumsy but can be found in

Resizing windows with a java script, doesn´t work on firefox 7.01

I have a macbookpro, 2,53ghz core i5, 4GB RAM, OS 10.6.8,
with firefox 7.01
I loved that feature and the problem only hapened when I updated Firefox.
Thank you for your support
Lino

Hello Lino,<br>
In Firefox 7 resizing the main window with javascript is no longer allowed for [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432687 security reasons]. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541 bug 565541] - Web sites shouldn't be allowed to resize main window<br>

Mozilla is lying when it says Java Script is unnecessary for the avcrage user.Java script is not working in Firefox 7.01

I want to roll back to an earlier version Firefox that works with Java Script how can I do this. Where I can download an earlier version? You know what the problems are. I am NOT going to list them. Own up to your errors. You made an incorrect conscious decision to break with Java compatibility.

Mozilla is not lying about average users, but it shows contempt for experienced users, or those that want to be able to get the more out of their browser, or use it for work or school.
Java and JavaScript are not the same thing. I trust you are referring to JavaScript problems and a lot of collateral damage associated with the mess.
# Prohibition on Webpages being able to resize or move windows with JavaScript
# Prohibition on Users being able to move or resize windows with JavaScript
# Ignoring the fact that there were already user controls in Tools > Options > Content > Javascript > Advanced
# Making JavaScript inoperable from Location bar as a command, or in a keyword shortcut that involves moving resizing windows
# Destroying use of AwesomeBar search, Bookmark searching for bookmarks containing JavaScript, making internal searches very unreliable
Firefox 8 comes out November the 8th and it nor later versions show any reversal of this mess.
Firefox 3.6.* should remain safe to use for some time, as corporate users will not put up with nonsense when they support thousands of users.
For those that really need an older version of Firefox [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases releases] (all releases, including 4.0.1 and 5.0) or with the latest of [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Firefox 3]. Mac OSX 10.4 users can't upgrade to 4.0.1
When you reinstall a different version, at the end of the install, don't let the install start Firefox for you, rather exit, and then start Firefox in the normal manner to avoid inadvertently creating and using a new profile without your bookmarks, etc.
What would be better would be to use multiple versions / profiles at the same time, which is certainly beyond average users, particularly when Mozilla has historically and purposely made such things difficult. But if interested see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox Using multiple profiles - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

Java doesn't work on Firefox

Java works in Internet Explorer but doesn't work in FireFox.
My installed Java-related programs are:
Java 7 Update 11
Java 7 Update 11 (64-bit)
Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 11
Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 11 (64-bit)
I don't have JavaFX or anything else. I need both kits for Eclipse and other things.

Quote: ''PS Java is obviously working as I visit a site that blocks use of "right mouse click" and that is fine.''
To avoid confusion:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
You should see an enabled Java plugin in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and Java should show on the about:plugins page if Java is installed properly.

CpSetValue doesn't work in Firefox and Chrome?

I've made changes in CaptivateMaintimeline.as as suggested by Jim Leichliter in his blog. And I use the following simple htm:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<div id="CaptivateContent">

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("test1.swf", "Captivate", "924", "557", "9", "#CCCCCC");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("name", "Captivate");
so.addParam("id", "Captivate");
so.addParam("wmode", "window");
so.addParam("bgcolor","#F1F4F5");
so.addParam("menu", "false");
so.addVariable("variable1", "value1");
so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash");
so.write("CaptivateContent");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//document.getElementById('Captivate').focus();
//document.Captivate.focus();
setCaptivateVariable("username", "Ahmet Cetin");
setCaptivateVariable("useremail", "[email protected]");
setCaptivateVariable("userid", "58345");
document.getElementById('Captivate').focus();
document.Captivate.focus();
//document.reload;

//alert(myVariable + ": " + myValue);
//alert("");
document.getElementById('Captivate').jim_cpSetValue(myVariable, myValue);
</script>
</center>
</body>
</html>
When I run this in IE8, it works almost! perfectly (when I show $$useremail$$ in label in CP4, it shows only [email protected] - one character missing, but anyway, it is not really important for now).
The funny thing is this code doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome. But when I enable any of the alert inside the setCaptivateVariable function, it works also almost! perfectly. Any idea?

Hi Ahmet and welcome to the forums!
When you use a text caption to display variables in Cp, you also have the option to choose how many characters get displayed. The default is 15. If you know your variable will be larger, set the value accordingly. Also, document.getElementById('Captivate') works only for IE. document.Captivate works for the rest. Look at the default.htm publishing template provided by your Captivate install to see how they detect the browser. You can do it their way, but I prefer using jQuery to do the browser detection. It's cleaner and easier to implement.

Middle mouse button doesn't work in Firefox

On my Lenovo Thinkpad the middle mouse button, that scrolls a web page up and down, doesn't work in Firefox only. In all other programs (including IE) the scroll function of the trackpoint middle button works fine, but in Firefox not at all. One solution described at Firefox is to edit a pref for a "ui.trackpoint_hackenabled" parameter, and I did change that value to 1, and restarted Firefox, but NO luck.
I'm using 4.0.1.

Nobody got any insights?

The wheel of my bluetooth mouse (Thinkpad laser mouse, wireless) doesn't work for Firefox.

What should I do? Thanks for the kind help!

Uninstall the "mouse suite". Worked for me.

Use BridgeTalk,but my script doesn't work

Hi,
I want to use BridgeTalk to open a image in photoshop,but my script doesn't work.
Anyone can tell me why?Thanks!

In your body script… jpgpath is just part of a string you have not constructed this to pass the variable… Also some classes are considered complex types so you need to toSource() and then eval…

                    if(doc.selection[0].constructor.name=="Image")

                           bt = new BridgeTalk;

                           bt.body = "{app.open( eval (" + jpgpath + ") );}";

Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.
