JavaScript -- Forgive me...

I have the following script running on a JSP page for a hangman game. It works great in IE and Opera, but not Firefox or Netscape:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
     function submitGuess() {
          var code;
          var evt = window.event;
          var code = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode :
                       ((evt.keyCode) ? evt.keyCode :
                      ((evt.which) ? evt.which : 0));
          var character = String.fromCharCode(code);
          document.location = '?guess=' + character;
</script>
<body onkeypress="submitGuess();">
...Anyone know hwo to write this so it will work in Firefox and/or Netscape?
Thanks in advance. I'm trying to make many of our text based graphical JSP games more accessible...

Thank you. I'm now up to:
<script language="JavaScript">
     function submitGuess(evt) {
          var code;
          if (! evt) {
               evt = window.event;
          var code = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode :
                   ((evt.keyCode) ? evt.keyCode :
                   ((evt.which) ? evt.which : 0));
          var character = String.fromCharCode(code);
          document.location = '?guess=' + character;
</script>
<body onkeypress="submitGuess();">
...I still don't appear to be getting the events passed in Firefox/Netscape. Is it possible that Firefox/Netscape doesn't assign a keypressed event listener in the body (document) object?

Cp4 AS3 - using Javascript to generate a text string

I'm a complete Javascript beginner, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question!
I need to generate a pseudo random text string. I'm using the unpatched version of Cp4, AS3, Internet Explorer 7
I've had a look at Captivate.Dev.com and the w3schools site to try to understand how to pass variables & basic javascript, and this is what I've come up with:
var objCP = document.Captivate;
function GenerateCode(){
var rngen = new Array(8);
var tgits = new Array(8);
var cdrtn="";
var lpdx=0;
var mulier=1;
for (lpdx=0;lpdx<=5;lpdx++){
rngen[lpdx]=(Math.floor(Math.random()*9)+1);
mlier=mulier*(rngen[lpdx]);
tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+"";
cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
rngen[6]=(mlier%17)%10;
rngen[7]=(mlier%13)%10;
for (lpdx=6;lpdx<=7;lpdx++)
tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+"";
cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
objCP.cpEISetValue('MyJavascriptVariable', cdrtn);
GenerateCode();
I've created a user variable called MyJavascriptVariable , put the code above in the On Slide Enter, Execute Javascript window on the first slide, and on the second a simple caption box showing the variable contents.
However, when I press F12 I get an orange playbar at the top of the window, and in the middle the preloader and the captionbox (without the return value) flickering. i.e. classic sign of wrong AS version.
If I change to AS2 the movie progresses ok, but the value the caption reports back for MyJavascriptVariable is blank.
I know my core code works correctly - if I use the w3school's tryit editor with the code after the function declaration up to the closing curly before the objcCP line, with an addeded document.write to show the variable it works fine.
It's clearly something to do with the way I'm declaring/passing the function or the way Cp runs the javascript. But what?
Any help greatfully appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Jon,
You are right... it works great on the W3Schools site. Although in Cp, you ran into quite an issue using the modulus operater (%). Looks like Cp needs the encoded version of this operator which is (%25). Also, if you're using Cp4, then when you go to set the caption, you want to use objCP.cpSetValue(); Cp5 uses cpEISetValue. I also try to use single quotes when working with strings.
Here's the updated code:
var objCP = document.Captivate;
function GenerateCode() {
var rngen = new Array(8);
var tgits = new Array(8);
var cdrtn='';
var lpdx = 0;
var mulier=1;
    for (lpdx=0; lpdx<=5; lpdx++){
        rngen[lpdx]=(Math.floor(Math.random()*9)+1);
        mlier=mulier*(rngen[lpdx]);
        tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+'';
        cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
rngen[6]=(mlier %25 17) %25 10;
rngen[7]=(mlier %25 13) %25 10;
   for (lpdx=6; lpdx<=7; lpdx++){
        tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+'';
        cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
objCP.cpSetValue('MyJavascriptVariable', cdrtn);
GenerateCode();
This looks like some really crazy math.
Let me know if this helps.

Document-level javascript quandry

Ok, completely clueless newbie here whose only coding experience is Access VBA…from a few years ago. Need to write up some Javascript to make this work – that was a month’s worth of a migraine. I ask for your patience, and would like to ask for forgiveness in advance for any headaches I induce while you try to figure out my problem(s). Also, I’m not sure how to copy paste images or code examples, but I will do my best.
So, basic premise: make a drop-down combo box that will populate another combo box based on whatever was selected in the first box – in this case, 31 items in the ‘Inventory Parts Used’ list, and a total of 427 respective sizes in the other list.
YES, I’ve already looked at that http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/js_list_combo_livecycle1 example, and followed it closely. Took me forever, but I somehow got it to work. Was very happy. Only thing I couldn’t figure out was the export value b/c mine wasn’t a number. But I solved that by putting the CodeID and respective PartSize together (ex: 4-inch Fire Hydrant would show up as "FH-01: 4"). Anyways, I selected that working row and choose the “Place Multiple Fields” option times 15 rows. Still working. I’m dancing a jig. Then I tried to check on the code:
“Text cannot be displayed in full by the Edit Dialog. Please use an External Editor.”
Uh… So I deleted a row at a time until I could see what my limit was. I had to pare down 15 rows to a measly 3 rows. Took me a while but I was able to see where the problem was. Instead of being written into the Document-Level JS, my array was tied to the first combo box’s Keystroke event on the Field Level. So when I multiplied the rows, that humongous list essentially had diarrhea.
I’ve tried to delete that header and keep it to Document Level.   It basically ignored me and keep those lines. When I did manage to make the <Document-Level> on top, it just didn’t work.
(    //<AcroForm>
//<ACRO_source>Row0.InvPart:Keystroke</ACRO_source>
//<ACRO_script>
/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:Row0.InvPart:Keystroke ***********/    )
I’ve searched other forums about the Document-level…. I swear I read a lot of forums that said using Advanced>Document Processing>Set Document Actions>Edit All was ok. Clearly it’s not ok, especially after I found this forum: http://answers.acrobatusers.com/Where-I-enter-document-level-javascript-adding-FormRouter- Calendar-q55527.aspx.
So I guess my question(s) is this: IS that “Edit Document Javascripts” really necessary? B/c I’ve looked and I don’t have it. I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, ver 9.5.5 (and I’m using Windows XP Pro ver 2002 , if that matters). Is this JS editor only available to the Pro version? Would it really be a bad thing to just leave it alone as a keystroke event (aside from the unwieldy large, duplicated codes it vomits as a result)? Or maybe, is there a way to code a new row on instead? I remember seeing an example where you can add more lines as needed, but I can’t for the life of me find it again.
Thank you in advance for all your assistance.

* Huh....it just figures... right after I finally give up and post up a question, I would find the answer. =_=;; http://forums.adobe.com/message/4727325#4727325.
So, Standard version apparently doesn't have that exalted “Edit Document Javascripts”. Apparently a way around it is using the Page Open event. Well, it works - the massive array only shows up once in the editor, and the multiple rows each call the function instead. Nice.
Well, I will leave this up in case someone else can use the reference. Thanks to anyone who read this and was going to answer me. =)
Don't suppose anyone knows how to create a code to add new rows instead of having 15 rows straight off the bat? Or should I make a new post for that?

My question is how can I call the javascript function from my process? Is it possible?
Many thanks

ps. as an example my javascript looks like:

Call PDF Javascript Function from External HTML Document

Greetings,
Forgive me if this information has been posted previously - I've searched quite a bit and haven't quite found anything specific or similar.
We have LiveCycle Designed forms, and are including the Form in an IFRAME within an HTML page. From there, we would like to be able to call one of the functions we've added to the LiveCycle form.
So for example,
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function CallFunc()
window.PDFFrame.TestFunc();
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<iframe src="MyPDFFile.pdf" width="100%" height="100%" name="PDFFrame" id="PDFFrame"></iframe>
</HTML>
The "window.PDFFrame.TestFunc()" is where I'm running into issues. I have tried to use PDFFrame.xfa.etc, and PDFFrame.document.etc, but I'm not sure of the appropriate method to access this PDF Document's functions.
I do have a "TestFunc()" defined (tested and working) in the PDF document (designed in LiveCycle).
Any advice is much appreciated -
Thanks!

I have attempted to use the information found here for this task:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=PDF_1.html
But is this outdated? Using the LiveCycle Designer, I have not been able to utilize the "this.hostContainer.messageHandler" with any success. Is their an equivalent xfa.etc handler? Or if "this.hostContainer.messageHandler" is still available to Acrobat 9.X documents, what are the appropriate steps to using this? I've tried putting it in the document initializer, docReady, and Page events and it doesn't seem to be available in any of those.
Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks!

Javascript ajax loaded in adobe air

Hello to all,
I come on this forum because i meet a problem with AJAX and JAVASCRIPT.
In my main script of ADOBE air, i load with "Ajax" the javascript contents but this javascript not execute not.
All my functions are in the < head > only the calls are in the contents
in charge of contents loaded with and the functions are called by onclick.
That here is my script for the forum, but is characteristic of my problem:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getRequeteHttp() {
////the contents was supprimed for the example////
function sendRequete(url) {
////the contents was supprimed for the example////
function receiveReponse(requeteHttp) {
if (requeteHttp.readyState==4) {
(requeteHttp.status==200) {
visibleReponse(requeteHttp.responseText);
else {
alert("error");
function visibleReponse(rep) {
document.getElementById("back2").innerHTML=rep;
function action() {
sendRequete('tryscript.html');
function yiu(){
alert('rooooooo');

Cordially, thank you one more time.

Capture onclick event on flash object using javascript

May the admins forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
How to capture the onclick event on a web page when the click
happens on an embedded flash object?
You can't. At least not in IE. For some arcane reason either
microsofts developers or the flash guys decided to overrule the DOM
in IE.
So the onclick event is never fired, in any browsers, when
the user clicks an embedded flash object like this:
However there's a workaround. Add the wmode="transparent"
parameter. This make the onclick event okay in Firefox, but still
not IE - where the flash movie is transparent the click event
fires, but only those places.
Instead use the onmousedown and onmouseup events which fires
anywhere on the flash.

>
I tried each of the following in the the Element HTML Form Element Attributes for the File Browse item:
onClick=javascript:alert(this.value);
onClick=javascript:popupURL('http://www.google.com');
onFocus=javascript:alert(this.value);
onChange=javascript:alert(this.value);And what happened?
[A few points on good practice:
1. In the XHTML normally used in APEX 4.0 mark-up, all XHTML, including attribute/event handler names, should be in lower case: <tt>onclick</tt>, <tt>onfocus</tt>, <tt>onchange</tt>...
2. Attribute values should always be quoted.
3. The <a href="http://crisp.tweakblogs.net/blog/313/the-useless-javascript-pseudo-protocol.html">"javascript:" pseudo-protocol is evil</a>. There are a few places in APEX where we may have to resort to using it as URL is all we're offered to work with, but it's always better to use an event handler of some kind, either inline or (better) registered dynamically at runtime following the principles of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtrusive_JavaScript">unobtrusive JavaScript</a>. +It absolutely should not be used in inline event handlers.+
So:
{code}
onclick="alert(this.value);"
etc

WebEngine HTML/JavaScript errors

Hello,
Is there a way to kwown if the WebView's WebEngine has detected HTML/JavaScript errors when loading content? And is there a way to list these errors?
Cheers,
Bertrand

Couldn't tell you the canonical way to do this.
Some thoughts:
1. There is a new debug API for WebView in 2.2, perhaps that may also be of use to you.
2. Firebug Lite can be be used to debug the WebEngine (it lists JavaScript errors after is has been loaded).
3. For catching JavaScript errors, you could try the JavaScript window on error function - http://www.w3.org/wiki/DOM/window.onerror. If you don't control the html you are loading, you will need to insert it some way (e.g. via webEngine().executeScript()), in which case timing the insertion to happen before any javascript has been executed might be tricky.
4. There is an exception property on the loadworker, but don't think it would be much help here as I think it is for different kinds of errors like "could not connect", you could trap it and see what it contains.
5. You could monitor the webengine's location property and fetch the url seperately and pass it through a tool like htmltidy in diagnostic mode which will generate a list of html errors and warnings (wouldn't exactly match webview's parsing handler).
The html5 parsing algorithm is very forgiving of sloppy and mismatched html.
Generally browsing engines just tend to ignore javascript and html errors and continue processing - they are not strict validators.

Javascript - is there something like an "active row count" property??

Lets say I have a tabular form. Every time I use the form, the # of rows returned by the query will vary. Maybe first time I go to the page, the select statement returns only 5 rows, but the next day it returns 25 rows.
Is there some type of system variable to stores the # of rows visible on the page at a given time within this tabular form?
I realize that if I have an tabular form item with an id of f03 for example, then on each row it will be referenced as f03_0001, then f03_0002 on the next row and then f03_0003 on the next row etc...
In pseudocode, here is what I want to do:
For i = 1 to ACTIVE_ROW_COUNT (assuming this is the # of rows in the HTML table)
perform some operation on 'f03_000' + ACTIVE_ROW_COUNT
Do you see what I'm after? I checked the APEX api, but I couldn't find such a property. It seems like you can't do much if you can't figure out this current index # or the max on the page.
Also, I tried playing around with the "this" keyword in hopes of finding a pointer to the "current item" that would have triggered the onchange event, but no luck either.
Thanks in advance.

Hi:
Within javascript you can reference the columns of the tabular form as
<script>
col1 = document.forms0.f01; // the first updateable column of your report
alert (col1.length) ; // number of rows
</script>varad

Problem with JavaScript in my PDF Form buttons

I am trying to have my user click on a button in my form on my website and e-mail the form data to me.
I am using the following JavaScript with my form button:
this.mailForm(false, "[email protected]", "", "", "Subject", "Message Body");
Protected mode is off.
When I use the above statement (whether the 1st parameter is set to true or false), nothing happens – no email gets sent and no mail dialog box appears. If I change from this.mailForm(...) to this.mailDoc(...), I get a mail dialog box but, as expected, it sends the blank form without the filled-in data due to low user privileges.
How can I send the form data with this.mailForm(...)? (Note that I prefer to use this.mailForm(...) rather than mailto:(...) because this.mailForm(...) supposedly allows me to e-mail the form without user interaction.)
-- Don

Thanks for responding. I have been using “Submit a form” in the Mouse up event. I had that operation do a mailto: and it worked, but required user interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I have successfully created an equivalent JavaScript including:
    var url = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=mySubject&body=MyMessage";
    this.submitForm(url, true);
The above sent the FDF file successfully, but again, it required user interaction.
Then I tried this JavaScript - as I mentioned in a previous post - after you said to use doc.submitForm():
    var url = "http://mydomain.com/submit_notice.php";
    doc.submitForm(url, false);
The above script seemed to do nothing (with no error message). Shouldn't it bring up the PHP file in the web browser?
I have that php file, submit_notice.php, created, but I have not written any PHP scripts to e-mail the FDF file. I have never written a PHP script to take the posted FDF data and email it, but I have used the PHP mail() function and posted variables.
As for what I want to happen on the client side after the submit takes place: I simply want the FDF file to go to an e-mail that I specify. Additionally, I need it to happen without any client interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I can expect that visitor to have Adobe reader, but no add-ons or protected mode requirement.
Please give me an example that emails the FDF file without any user interaction.
Thank you.

Open and Close Popup With Javascript

Using Apex 3.2
I have probably done this loads of times in my old job, but do not have access to the code and today I just can't get it to work properly.
I have opened a pop up window with javascript
Now I need to close it and refresh the calling page, but only if it passes the validation on the popup.
I have a hidden item on my pop up called P7_FLAG.
I have a page process after validation that sets P7_FLAG to (only set to 1, if passes validation).
I also have a SUBMIT button.
So once I click my SUBMIT button the page should look at the validations, if ok, set P7_FLAG to 1, then close the popup and refresh the calling page.
My current javascript look like this
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
var test = $x('P7_FLAG').value;
if(test == '1')
window.close();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
</script>On my button
javascript:saveChanges();The problem is that I need to click the SUBMIT button twice.
First time it sets P7_FLAG
Second time it closes page and refreshes.
I have probably made some basic error, but today I cannot see it.
Cheers
Gus
Edited by: Gus C on May 10, 2012 12:48 AM

<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
var test = $x('P7_FLAG').value;
if(test == '1')
window.close();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
</script>javascript does not wait for the current action to complete and then perform the next line.
means in your function call
doSubmit('SUBMIT');is triggered and it carry on's to next line that is
$x('P7_FLAG').value;this will not be set because you are setting the value of P7_FLAG to 1 in plsql and trying to check in javascript, which will not work.
what you need to do is amend your js function like below
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
</script>create a page branch to procedure and make it conditional to when P7_FLAG = 1
and set the branch source to below
htp.p('window.close();');
htp.p('window.opener.doSubmit(''REFRESH'');');

It appears to be a javascript problem, but firefox cannot open pages from ebscohost websites.

I'm a librarian at DePauw University. People who have upgraded to Firefox 5.0 or higher can get to Ebscohost pages but once there cannot do anything. For example, if I am on the Ebscohost Scientific American page and I try to expand +2011 in order to see the 2011 Scientific American issues nothing happens. It looks like javascript is supposed to expand the +2011. Everything works fine in Firefox 3.6.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage: "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
right-click a page on the site, choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Remove all cookies on servers ending with sympatico.ca
Then try reloading the page. If you need to log in to read stories, you probably will have to log in again after removing their cookies.
Does it help?

Adobe Flash & Javascript don't work even though Enabled

Ever since what I think was either a Firefox upgrade (I don't know which one) or installation of Quicktime, my Adobe Flash Plugin is perpetually crashed and I cannot play any Flash content on any website. All that displays in place of the video is a gray screen with the sad-face Lego icon and the message: “The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. Please reload the page to try again.” (See attached image.) But it will not resolve when reloaded.
No Flash videos on any sites work. HTML5 videos work on YouTube when tested, but non-HTML5 videos won't work.
Also, my Javascript does not seem to be working since at least some displays requiring javascript don't work. Sometimes the display just doesn't work, and sometimes I get a message that javascript is disabled and must be enabled, but it is already enabled (set to “true” in about:config).
I have spent days scouring every help forum entry I can find on troubleshooting Flash Player and Javascript. Everything on my end seems to be in order and I cannot find or fix either problem. I think it is possible the issue could have its roots in the fact that Javascript seems to not be working which may be preventing Flash Player content from working...??
Also, Flash content does work in I.E. but not in Firefox (I do not have Chrome installed so did not test in Chrome). I have too many window tabs open in Firefox and can't switch to I.E. (nor do I like to use I.E.).
PLEASE HELP as this is crippling for very important work deadlines I have.
This is what else I know and have tried:
I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A Laptop;
Processor: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics; x64; 2.00 Ghz;
RAM: 8 MB;
OS: 64-bit system; Windows 8.1 (but some auto-check utilities detect it as 8.0 because it was upgraded.);
Graphics Card: “Desktop Graphics” System – AMD Radeon HD 8400 (0x9830);
Installed Graphics Driver Version: AMD 13.352.1004.1007 (Driver Date: 4/22/2014)
My Device Manager graphics driver updater states: “driver software is up to date.”
From the AMD website: the graphics driver auto-detect utility recommended the AMD Catalyst Driver (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win8.1-64bit.exe) I tried installing this driver, but it won't install. After trying to install, I got a message stating: “We are unable to find a driver for your system.” But Device Manager states I have a current driver, and my graphics card & driver seem to be working fine, so I do not believe this is part of the issue.
I am using Latest Firefox version 35.0.1; and
Using Latest Flash Player: 32-bit NPAPI Plug-in Version: 16.0.0.296; designated: “always activate” (Downloaded new update several times, including fresh install after uninstall; system & web address icons indicate Flash is enabled).
I turned off hardware acceleration in FF Tools>Options>Advanced>General
I disabled WebGL as explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
I am using Ad-Block Plus which has never affected things in the past. I have not tried starting FF in Safe Mode because I believe I will lose all open tabs and not be able to recover them (I may have over 200 open). But disabling add-ons has no effect (I disabled all except for Sessions Manager in case of a crash). (My No-Script has been disabled for at least six months.)
I have Windows Media Player and Quicktime installed.
Quicktime is most recent upgrade (7.7.6) so should not be a problem according to:
“QuickTime plugin takes over Flash” at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here)
Disabling Quicktime had no effect in the prior version of FF (ver. 35.0), but in latest FF ver. 35.0.1, Flash videos only display a plain (blank) gray screen instead of the sad-faced icon and crash message.
(I tried to uninstall Quicktime altogether, but was not able to due to Error codes 2502 & 2503. I tried troubleshooting that as well with no luck using methods successful for other programs, including here:
http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503-and-2502-when-uninstalling-on-windows-8.html;
& here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/re-internal-error-codes-2502-and-2503-for/ba5f2145-aa6e-4cc0-81a7-e4346f43b698.)
Disabling my FF theme and using the default brought back the sad-faced icon and crash message in the place of videos on some YouTube pages, but not other YouTube pages (where video was still blank gray screen). It also enabled a still Flash image (an ad) to display on a different website page that previously had a Flash Plugin crash message. I have been using this same theme for a couple of years without previous issue. While turning it off did generate an effect on some still imagery, it didn't fix the video problem.
I tried Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 as explained here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here).
It did not solve the issue.
I also deleted all storage & data in Flash Player as advised. This had no effect either.
I've tried all solutions I've been able to find and am at a loss for what to try next. Please help and advise ASAP. Thank you!!

For it not installing, you need to follow these instructions to install them: see the comments: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/windows-10-atiamd-display-drivers/50944d10-dde3-4e08-8244-d54eb2b1e7de] --> take warning though it looks like it has caused issues for others as well.
Since it was working for some youtube videos and not others, there might be an issue with a particular video codec. DO you have OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. plugin?
Is it possible to try Safe Mode after saving your session with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager Addon]? IT would test hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Thank you, guigs2! Sorry for my delayed reply...I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to you. Update is that I did try a whole slew of other troubleshooting steps including starting FF in safe mode, to no avail. However, I was FINALLY (after months) able to solve this problem just today by pure chance!
The problem was that hardware acceleration was enabled in the Flash settings. I had not been able to turn it off because I didn't have access to the Flash Player settings as long as the crash error message was visible, which was all the time! Today, by a sheer fluke, I saw a static picture in place of the crash message on a Flash video. I snagged the opportunity to call up the settings and turn off hardware acceleration, and it fixed the problem for my whole browser! This has been a frustrating issue because I did not have access to the settings utility as long as I had the crash message, which was always, so my Flash was crippled without the ability for me to fix it until pure luck gave me this window of opportunity.
Does anyone know another way to access the settings utility if this ever happens again in the future? I could not find a way. (Incidentally, I had tried disabling hardware acceleration via my graphics driver settings, but it didn't fix the problem.) We need Adobe to allow some other way to access the Flash Player settings utility when this problem arises since they aren't accessible when there is a static crash message.
Thanks again!

Just had Javascript update done and now Firefox won't open,,,keeps coming up with XML Parsing error not well formed. how can I get rid of this?

also awindow pops up NS error XPC Bad convert JS cannot convert JAVASCRIPT argument arg 4 (NSL window watcher open window)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== just today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; (R1 1.5))

There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
(look below all the "SUID" examples)
I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
Please post back with the remaining point of concern.
