Javascript games that work in IE don't work in Firefox - why?

Why can't I get javascript games that work in IE to work in Firefox? The javascript games show up on the page but not in the correct format and the scripts don't work. An example is here: http://www.cornwallfoodandfarming.net/games/KS1-summer-in-farm3/picture-memory.htm
When you open it in IE you can see what it should do!
Any help gratefully received. Cheers...Paul

That particular game was created a long time ago... in the age of Netscape version 4.
Netscape version 4 had proprietary objects named layers that are no longer supported in Firefox, so the game fails because it assumes that Firefox supports layers. You can see this if you open Tools > Error Console and scroll to the end of the long list after clicking the link to start the game.
If you think the developers of this site might be willing to update the game, let them know about this problem.
If not, and the game is very important to you, you could try Chris Pederick's User Agent Switcher extension (Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons) to make Firefox temporarily masquerade as an old version of Internet Explorer. There's no guarantee that will make the game work in Firefox, but it has a better chance than what you get now.

  • Table of contents links that work in Professional don't work in Reader

    I use Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 8.2.2 to create PDF
    documents from Microsoft Word 2007 files. The main table of contnets, as well as mini-ToCs at
    the beginning of each chapter, are linked to the section headi
    ngs.
    I've just discovered that the links no longer work when the documents are are opened in Reader Version 9.3.2.
    Can you suggest a solution?

    The topics and page numbers in the table of contents of a document are linked to the referenced headings. The links work when I test them with Acrobat Professional.
    In Acrobat reader the links don't work.

  • Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

    I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago.  At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work.  Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
    I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
    I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
    Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
    In control panel programs I have listed
    Adobe AIR      no size
    Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
    Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
    Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
    In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
    Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
    Adobe PDF Link Helper
    Adobe PDF Reader
    Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
    As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
    Thanks

    Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it.  My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive.  The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
    However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
    I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
    Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

  • How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

    There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

    If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Titles that worked in FCP5 don't work in FCP6

    All,
    I made some snazzy titles in FCP5 by playing with the tracking in the text controls. Very simple - just made the text expand and contract and it did so smoothly and looked great.
    I upgraded to FCP6 and updated the file, and the same effect plays out but it changes my text to bold (an easy fix) AND now the motion is totally choppy!
    can't seem to get it back to smooth town. Anyone out there have any recommendations or know why this is happening?
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • My iPad when I open safari will allow me to type a address and it will go to the web site but when it gets there the screen is darkened and it will not let me do anything but go to anouther adress. Touch screen doesn't work and tabs don't work.

    I am having problems with safari. The screen is darkened and I can't use touch screen or tabe. But I can use the address bar and go to anouther website. Other then that I can see website but can't touch nothing, how do I fix

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or if those do not work - quit Safari 
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • PDF links work in Acrobat - don't work in Reader

    Acrobat version: 9.5.1 (latest as of this writing)
    Reader version: 10.1.3 (latest as of this writing)
    I createa  Word doc that has links to UNC shares that look like this:
    "\\server\share\file.exe"
    I convert the file to a PDF through Acrobat File -> New.
    When I open the PDF file in Acrobat, the link works, and the file is launched.
    When I open the file in Reader, the link doesn't work, and this error message is presented:
    Could not open file '/server/share/file.exe'
    I'm guessing Reader is interpolating the link to be a relative path - I want to instruct it that this is an absolute link.
    If it helps, the machine is running WinXP SP3 32bit.

    Sandboxing has been implemented with Reader X which disables launch of any executables from within a PDF.
    Thats why you are receiving this message which is expected.

  • Newbie, please help--swf files work fine separately, don't work when on same page

    Hello all,
    I am new to flash, and piecing together different templates to try and  learn things.
    I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by  itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I  open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and  products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.
    I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names,  but I have been messing with it for most of today.
    I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:
    http://littlebuddymedia.com/flashhelp.zip
    If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open  the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.
    Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
    Below is the code from each relevant button in case that is easier for  some of you.
    Thank you in advance!
    From the 0342 page (the index page)
    My "Home" button
    on (release) {
    if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
    _root.currMovie = "home";
    _root.container.loadMovie("home.swf");
    } else if (_root.currMovie != "home") {
    if (_root.container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
    _root.currMovie = "home";
    _root.container.play();
    My "Products" button
    on (release) {
    if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
    _root.currMovie = "products";
    _root.container.loadMovie("products.swf");
    } else if (_root.currMovie != "products") {
    if (_root.container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
    _root.currMovie = "products";
    _root.container.play();
    FROM THE PRODUCTS2 page
    My "copywebdev" button
    on (release) {
    if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
    _root.currMovie = "copywebdev";
    _root.copycontainer.loadMovie("copywebdev.swf");
    } else if (_root.currMovie != "copywebdev") {
    if (_root.copycontainer._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
    _root.currMovie = "copywebdev";
    _root.copycontainer.play();
    My "officetech" button
    on (release) {
    if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
    _root.currMovie = "copyworktech";
    _root.copycontainer.loadMovie("copyworktech.swf");
    } else if (_root.currMovie != "copyworktech") {
    if (_root.copycontainer._currentframe >= copycontainer.midframe) {
    _root.currMovie = "copyworktech";
    _root.copycontainer.play();
    }

    Not in the example I linked to.
    I added the code and uploaded an example of what it does.
    When I put "this._lockroot=true" into the first frame of the products.swf file, this occurs:
    http://littlebuddymedia.com/flashhelp/withlockroot/0342.html
    i.e. you can click over to the products page, but you can not navigate back clicking the "Home" button does not bring up the home page, it refreshes the product page. You are also not able to switch between the two text boxes (copywebdev and officetech) on the products page (though one of them will load--whichever one you click first).
    I guess this was "two steps forward and one step back"?
    Thank you for continuing to take a look at this.

  • Managed preferences: computer prefs work; user prefs don't work on Lion clients.

    OK, so I'm running into a similar problem as before, but in reverse. On Snow Leopard clients, all of my MCX preferences work perfectly (computer and user). On Lion clients however, only computer/group preferences show up. User/group preferences are nowhere to be seen.
    Server: OSX 10.6.8, OD (no AD)
    Snow Leopard and Lion clients.
    All clients bonded with server.
    Most other services work.
    Stuff I've tried:
    Clearing/flushing MCX caches, unbonding/rebonding clients, restarting clients.
    Deleting/recreating users and groups.
    Restarting server.
    Turning off all computer/group MCX preferences (so that only user preferences remained). No difference--accounts became unmanaged.
    Goals:
    Set Group sharepoint to automount for all users.
    Set a Yearbook sharebpoint to automount for members of Yearbook group.
    Set various preferences to Always Managed for students.

    Lots of discoveries.
    The problem isn't MCX preferences.
    It was a combination of two things.
    The preferences hierarchy was cancelling out some of the things I wanted to do.
    The Lion clients weren't reacting nicely to my custom Group folder. I was following Wazza's Server Notes on creating a universal Group folder to share between user groups. The Snow Leopard clients were fine with this; the Lions weren.
    Solution: It's a little bit of a hack, but I added my Groups folder to the Login as a simple AFP URL instead of ticking the "Add Group Share Point" box, and I did it from the computer groups instead of the user groups.
    Bonus: Other MCX user settings are working now, and I'm a happy camper.

  • Commit work and wait don't work,why

    Hi All,
    I call BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' and create PO, then commit via
    commit work and wait.
    after creating, query the new PO via
    SELECT ebelp pstyp INTO TABLE lt_ebelp
      FROM ekpo
      WHERE ebeln = p_lv_ebeln.
    but no result.
    If creating and waiting a moment, it do work.
    why, I already used 'commit work and wait' but not 'commit work'.
    thanks.
    regards.
    dou

    Okay ,first check whether po number is getting saved or not .
    If po is saving then use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMIITT FM ..
    Now check ur select query like : Since wait upto n seconds ( This may not work)
    data : n Type i.
    n = 10.
    write the below code after  BAPI_TRANSACTIOn_COMITT.
    do n times.
    select query
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
    exit.
    endif.
    enddo.
    still document number is not coming ,testing purpose increate n as 20 and see the results.
