Layer Positioning For IE and Firefox

Im using Dreamweaver 8. Im trying to position a flash file at
the center of the top of the page, and at the bottom of the page.
but for some reason its only laying out properly in Internet
Explorer. i was using Project Vii's Screen Layout extension. For
some reason in Firefox the layer at the bottom of the page is
positioned strangely. like it is too low or something or that its
trying to position at the very top of the layer instead of the
bottom - i want the bottom flash file to overlap the top one when
clicked - u can take a look. check it out in IE and Firefox.
anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Get rid of the Layout Designer and take a look at how I did
it here -

It's way simpler.
In addition, I'm not sure what you are describing, but could
this be your
problem?

Separate CSS for IE and Firefox

Hi all,
older versions of Robohelp generated to separate CSS files in the Wephelp for IE and Firefox. Evidently this feature was dropped somewhen. However I need it now to resolve some specific Firefox problems in a project.
I thought I could add the corrsponding script in the master page that checks for the browser and selects the CSS, but thought I should ask the forum first.. are any solutions for this already known?
Robert

If you are sure there is no way around OK but sometimes someone knows a solution. I'm not saying I do, just that sometimes someone will pop their head over the parapet with the answer.
It used to be the case that bullets were a pain for me until I found out that Firefox's own CSS had an indent that you could negate without affecting IE. Result, almost the same appearance in both browsers.
I haven't tried it but RoboHelp 10 allows you to write media queries and you can define the browswer. In theory you can have a default style for IE and other browsers but specify a rule that if the browser is Mozilla, the CSS is to be modified.
That's the cheery theory and I don't know the ins and outs of how well it would work in reality. Do let us know if you decide to take the plunge.

PDF Documents with Functional Buttons - Works for IE and FireFox but not for Chrome and Safari

To all,
Good morning. Our institution developed a PDF document with functional buttons for printing and e-mailing. When the document is viewed via Internet Explorer and Firefox, the functional buttons work as expected. However if the document is viewed via Chrome and Safari, the functional buttons do not work. The workaround for those who are using Chrome and Safari, the PDF document needs to be saved to their local drive before the functional buttons work.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? If yes, what was your solution other than the workaround.
Thanks.

Flash for IE *and* Firefox

Seeing that there's a version for IE and a slightly different
version for Firefox, is it OK to have both versions on a pc?

Yes. One is a plugin, the other an activeX control. Only IE
Windows uses the activeX control. All other browers and OS use a
the plugin.

Table Definitions for Safari and Firefox

All of the sudden my method to make a table 100% of the
vertical height of a browser window in Safari and Firefox for the
Mac has ceased to work. It works fine on PCs. I used both
Dreamweaver and GoLive in my efforts. Anythougts on how to more
appropriately or alternatively set this definition correctly?

Here's the deal.
A doctype on an HTML page tells the browser how to render the
page. If
there is no doctype, or if there is an invalid one, the page
is rendered in
quirks mode. If there is a valid doctype, the page is
rendered in standards
mode.
DMX inserted a broken doctype on the page (i.e., functionally
equivalent to
no doctype). Earlier versions inserted NO doctype. Hence, all
these pages
are rendered in quirks mode.
In quirks mode, the browser makes an attempt to render
invalid HTML. Not
all browsers attempt the same rendering - so you will see a
variety of
differences, comparing one browser to the next on the same
page.
In standards mode, the browsers all render the same (so they
say - but in
practice, while not true, it's much more uniform).
Table height is invalid HTML. It always has been - it was
never a part of
HTML's specs.
Browsers in quirks mode will try to render table heights.
Browsers in
standards mode willl not.

Upgraded to latest version for Mac and firefox home page missing graphics, test fill in boxes etc.

Hi: I tried to upgrade to the latest version for Mac and most of the graphics don't appear and the search text boxes and other items are not visible. Can you help?

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

I'm using AOL for email and Firefox 9.0.1. Problem started 2 days ago. Before that I put in the first two letters of an email address and it gave me a list of possibles. Now I get "undefined" for each possible instead of the email address.

After updating to Firefox 9.0.1 there were no problems. My contact list still shows as it did before this problem arose. When I type in the first letter or two of the email address, it used to give me a list of possibles. Now t is just showing the email address as "undefined" when it gives me suggestions for the email address I'm typing in the send line. This means that instead of being able to click on my choice in the possibles it gives me, I have to go to my contact list, find the name and then click on it if I'm sending the email to one person. If it goes to more than one, I either have to type in the full address or use copy and paste from the contact list. This is a huge hassle. Any help is appreciated.

I moved the file formhistory.sqlite to another file folder. I then started Firefox up again to see if it worked or if I needed to start it in Safe Mode. No need for Safe Mode. It now works exactly as it should. Thank you so much!!

If you click on a link in an email or pdf, for instance and Firefox is closed, it will launch and open the home page, not the link.

Used to be when you clicked on a link in an email, Firefox would launch and load that page. Now, FF launches and loads your default home page, and you have to go back to the other program and click on the link again.

I have not found a way for the email hypertext to go to the FaceBook App, but I no longer click on the hypertext as I know whatever information or posting it is directing me to in FaceBook will show up when I open my FaceBook App. I also have noticed that many pop-ups on the Browser don't actually know if you already have the software they are promoting.

Best for IE AND Firefox - jpeg, gif, or png?

I want to do something that SEEMS fairly simple - making a
page with rounded corners. I made small graphics in Illustrator to
give this effect. I tried saving them as gifs, pngs, and jpegs -
pretty much all of them look find in Firefox, but in IE, they look
messed up and look like they have borders around them. they don't
look like that when i view them in Fireworks or Photoshop, only in
IE.
take a look:
http://www.whsphealthcaremanagement.com/index_HCM.html
what can i do to avoid this? which type would be best for
this?

If you mean like the corner graphic in the bottom left hand
corner of
the white area, then I copied and pasted it into fireworks
and zoomed in
to about 1600% and you can see there is a top and bottom
border on the
graphic.

Contextual Menu Layer Selection for CS4 and 5.x

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to get contextual menu layer selection functioning better in Photoshop.
Right clicking on a layer provides a menu but does not necessarily select the top layer automatically. If the layer is grouped, it will generally show the top most group, and indent layers within. Alt-right click selects the top-most layer, but does not provide the contextual menu.
The behavior I'm looking for is right click, brings up a menu with the top most LAYER (not group) selected.
I see this topic was already covered (and fixed by Adobe) for the Mac version here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/632446?start=0&tstart=0
Am I missing something on the Windows version? Is there an option somewhere to change the behavior?
Thanks.

Attached is a picture of the behavior in Windows. Right clicking on empty space (with the exception of a plain white background) does not highlight background. It highlights Group 1, despite Group 1 not containing any information for where I have selected. So when selecting layers in a huge working file with dozens of groups, finding the top most layer gets to be a painful experience.
In Windows, I can control-click a layer to get to the top-most layer without any contextual menu, however the menu behavior on the Mac offers some benefits - you can just go up one menu item to find the layers group.
Here's the same example from above:
Another example:
The Mac behavior seems much much more valuable I would think. However, I'm guessing there is no way to get the Windows version to do this.

Plug-Ins for Safari and Firefox

I'm a new MAC owner (as of last week as a matter of fact) so bear with me.......
I had to download Firefox since I got the message that Safari didn't support the new Yahoo Mail Beta.
Then I decided to check out my MACBook Pro's video capabilities by going to the CBS web page to watch The Unit (go to http://www.cbs.com/ and click 'Full Episodes'.....)
I got the following error:
The page “CBS.com - Innertube” has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
Can anyone help me find the appropriate plug-in? What additional plug-ins should I install while I'm at it (Active-X, Java, etc.)?
BTW, I get an error with Firefox as well telling me that additional plug-ins are required, but the automatic (Firefox) search tells me that no suitable plug-ins were found.
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Wow, I had no idea it would be that simple.
Normally with my PC, if an update was needed the error message would instruct to download the newest version of Flash, Real, etc.
I figured with the cryptic error message I got from Firefox and Safari that I needed some 'plug-in.'
Thanks! Problem solved......

Tried to download Font General for Facebook and Firefox prevented the site from asking me to download. Is it a "bad" program?

I was searching for emoticons on Facebook....and a link came up for Font General ...to use different type fonts on Facebook. I clicked on the download for FireFox and a small box popped up saying "FireFox has prevented this site (www.fontgeneral.com) from asking you to install software on your computer. There was a button that I could click to ALLOW....but I wanted to know if there was a possibility of the program being known to be unsafe.

Firefox only comes with two sites pre-approved to install add-ons, because add-ons have full privileges and you want to be pretty careful about which ones you install.
The warning you got was a general notice. As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't test or even try to keep track of add-ons that don't come from the official add-ons site.
Facebook and web search would be good resources for further research.
