Links in li tags don't work in FF

Hi,
I have a an <ul> with some list items in it. These list
items are links to other pages, but in FireFox they don't show up
as links. I'm super confused because they really should work. If
anyone can offer me a suggestion or solution that would help
loads!!
Here is my list (i can't see any errors-maybe someone else
can?):
<div><ul>
<li><a href="myLife.php#lifeAssurance">Life
Assurance</a></li>
<li><a
href="myLife.php#Disability">Disability</a></li>
<li><a href="occupationalDisability">Terminal
Illness</a></li>
<li>Income Protection</li></ul></div>
Thanks!!

Post a link to your page, please.

Links in object states don't work

I have an object state with several text boxes, hyperlinks and buttons works fine, UNTIL i create buttons to control the object states appearance. Then the integrated links in the mso don't work.
Have tried with new document, new folio etc. As soon as I delete buttons to control the mso, the links works perfect. HELP please

Hi,
You can solve this problem putting the buttom outside the MSO. And recreate the links inside the MSO.

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't Work.

I continue to have problems with links in email, they don't work. When I called apple support she said to hard boot by holding off and home keys and restart. However this is only since the new release of the operating system, it happens ever day and it's getting OLD.. Any solutions?

Yes, almost daily since the iOS update. Is there a permanent solution. And does the hard reboot hurt the iPad?

Click url links from email (thunderbird) don't work.

click url links embedded in email don't work. I tried the "fix" to go to thunderbird (email account) and follow tools-options-...but when I got to "advanced" it would not click. Clearing the "cache" seems to be important, but I'm not even sure that's the problem. It started to develop after I upgraded some add-on movie-audio feature to firefox. So, I suspect there is some incompatibility there. Please help.

Since posting, I figured it out with a google search - to simply find a way to identify firefox as my "Default browser" - apparently, any time you update windows or do add-ons from Bill Gates, he makes your computer take IE the default browser - so the clicking doesn't work from email on firefox. So, I went into the control panel for "default programs" and clicked again to make Firefox the one, re-booted and everything works fine now. I suspect that many people will find this approach very helpful when they get frustrated with the same problem. Thanks google!

After uninstalling Google Chrome links in e-mail don't work any more

I have Firefox on my computer. I wanted to try out Chrome. After uninstalling Chrome and reinstating Firefox as my default browser, several things don't work properly, especially links in emails. I tried suggested solution of changing registry key for .html from ChromeHTML to htmlfile or FirefoxHTML but neither works. I just want to be able to click the link and open up the relevant web page.

As someone else has this problem I reply to my own question. Only uninstallling and reinstalling Firefox cures the problem.

Links to web gallery don't work from blog preview

I used the idea by somebody in this forum (sorry, forgot who!) to have a blog with each entry linking directly to the various different view options of the .mac web gallery, like this:
http://web.mac.com/kazazi/PiNoProductions/Photos/Entries/2007/9/1September2007.html
However, now the links don't work anymore from the blog preview, because the #and & characters in the web gallery's url get scrambled.
Does anybody know why this is or how I can fix this?

i have the same problem. has anyone fixed this?
thamks,

Links in blog summary don't work

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to iLife '08 any links that I post in my blog page don't work in the summary (or RSS feed). For some reason when iWeb creates the summary it changes the links. For instance a web gallery link may end in gallery#10005 and the summary link changes it to something like gallery%2516278 and as a result .Mac gives you a "can't find your page" page.
This very frustrating as there seems to be no way to fix the links in the summary (as it is created automatically). Does anyone else have this problem or know what might be going on here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did it happen only on those three entries or was it happening with new posts as well? (I had a harddrive failure and had to rebuild the site a while back so I think I have recreated the blog in iWeb '08.)
The fact that this is happening in my new posts is baffling.

Links in published website don't work.

The majority of links in my published website (both online and when published to a folder) won't work. However, unpublished they work fine.The navigation bar and picture links fail, except for the first two pages. I've checked to make sure the links are forwarded to the front.
http://web.mac.com/melaniermaxwell
Any thoughts?

Ok, I checked that one and it didn't work for me too.
So these are my thoughts:
-I think you protected your photos by putting a textfield or a shape in front of the photos and that one is covering the links and that's why they don't work. If you didn't protect them you might however have something in front of the links. Move it a bit downward so that it is on the photo put not on the links or delete it.
-There aren't any other photos to link to and that's why they are disabled.
However I think it's the first one because I get a strange highlighted area when I try to highlight.
If it's none if these I'm out of ideas, sorry! Maybe someone else has some more...

Cédric

ID3v2 tags don't work properly on zen microph

I e-mailed tech support on this one, but it seemed like they spent 2 seconds reading it and then sending a template reply.
I have a lot of older mp3 files which I only used ID3V2 tags on, because that was the field with most info when right-clicking files in winamp.
When I try looking for a file which only has id3v2 tags, things don't work properly. Let's say I have this info in the id3v2 tag: "Mr.Artist - Mr. Track - Mr.Album".
Now let's turn the player on. Artists: "Mr.Artist" shows. When clicking on "Mr.Artist", "Mr.Album" shows. BUT, when clicking on the album, where the hell is "Mr. Track"? I only see blank space! I have to click "all tracks" and scroll my way to "mr. track" to find it.
This is a highly unneccesary hassle. I've updated the firmware, but that didn't do anything at all. I download a lot of unsigned, free music, which only has id3v2 information in it.
Id3v tags on the other hand, work just like they should.
Please help me out on this one. It would be greatly apreciated.Message Edited by Rognalf on 06-09-20070:57 AM
Message Edited by Rognalf on 06-09-2007:00 AM

From my own experience it seems that ID3v2 tags seem to cause problems like this with most mp3 players. I'm guessing because it's newer. I've heard that ID3v2 is more flexible but ID3v is more compatible.

ALT Tags don't work

Why when I hover my mouse over many images the ALT tags don't appear. They do in IE.
Even the ALT tags on many images in the Apple site don't work in Safari but they do in IE.

Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.

Some links look clickable but don't work - Word 2010 with Acrobat PDF creation

Windows 7
Latest Acrobat subscription
Word - Office home and student 2010
I can create PDFs via Acrobat and Word on Windows 7, but after editing the PDF with Acrobat on Mavericks OS X, only in-document links remain clickable. External web hyperlinks, both exposed URLs and blue text with URLs hidden under link text do not work in the PDFs that are edited on MacOS. They look like they work, because in the PDFs the hand cursor appears and you can click the links, but nothing happens in the browser.
I can't find any troubleshooting information about this.
My process:
Word: Options: Advanced - remove check in "use ctrl-click to follow hyperlinks"
Convert file using the Acrobat tab in the Word ribbon.
Set compatibility to Acrobat 8
Create PDF (icon)
Click Options
Check "create bookmarks"
Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks
Accept defaults, which are:
Convert document information
Enable Accessiblity
Reflow the tagged Adobe PDF.
The PDF is converted. Links all seem to work as expected.
Take the PDF to MacOS Mavericks, add pages, optimize, using Acrobat on MacOS.
Afterward, only some kinds of links in the PDF work.
This is a new problem that seemed to start when I recently began to use Acrobat's subscription version on Windows instead of FoxIt to convert the Word docs on Windows.
Q: Is this a known limitation that MacOS Acrobat creates unusable links despite the initial PDF conversion being done on Windows Acrobat?
Q: Should I do something additional so that external links remain clickable after processing on MacOs?
Thanks for any clues.

Thanks for your reply.
After some experimentation, it seems that the place where *some* links stop working is when I take a PDF file from Windows and optimize it on MacOS with Mac Acrobat Pro. All the links work *except* the kind where the URL is hidden behind blue underlined text. These look like they work but when you click them nothing happens.
So to fix it, I think I need to optimize the PDFs on Windows Acrobat Pro.
The MacOs Acrobat Pro, which I paid many hundreds of dollars for is therefore completely useless for documents with this kind of normal hypertext link.
Also, Windows Acrobat Pro is required in order to ensure that table-of-contents links made in Word (MacOS) continue to work in the PDF. The trick there is to regenerate the TOC on Windows Word before using CreatePDF to convert it.
I hope someone else benefits from this insight, because I wasted weeks of my life trying to troubleshoot this undocumented problem.

CS5.5 Phonegap - Anchor Tags Don't Work

So I made a test Android app using the phonegap template and it seemed to work okay. Now I'm trying to add anchor tags to link a table of contents from the top to text found lower on the page like this:
<a href="#cq">Clinical Question</a>
<a id="cq">Clinical Question:</a>
But I get "ERROR LOADING PAGE" when testing in multi-view and web browser.
External links work just fine though like:
<a href ="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe</a><br>
I'm assuming it has something to do with how the page/site is saved, does anyone have a solution?

That's correct. The jQuery Mobile framework uses IDs to load page blocks in multiple-page files. You cannot link to an ID within an individual page block. See this page in the jQuery Mobile documentation for a detailed explanation: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/#docs/pages/docs-pages.html. Confirmation that you can't do what you're trying to achieve is near the bottom of the page.

Links to external files don't work

Hello
Using RH 8.02 and converting linked Word docs (Word 2002) to WebHelp. These are policies and procedures that reference external documents.
In my Word doc I have a hyperlink to an external document. This doc is on a network server. In Word I added the hyperlink and it appeared as a relative path, such as ../RelatedDocs/RelDoc1.doc.
The referenced file is an external file, and I don't want to add it to RH because it may be updated; I just want to link to it so that a user gets the latest version.
When I update the HTML files in RH I see this in my HTML file:
<a href="file:////terminus/avbase_techsupport/av-base documents/supportmaster/documentationshare/relateddocs/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
This is the correct absolute path for the referenced file. Note the file://// prefix, with four forward slashes.
When I generate WebHelp, the link doesn't work. Nothing happens.
I tried the following:
1. Copied the whole path into my Windows Start > Run box and hit Enter. Nothing happens.
2. Removed two of the forward slashes and copied it again into the Run box. Now the file opens in Word.
I also tried removing the hyperlinks from the Word docs and adding them through RH instead. Same result.
Why does RH add four forward slashes to the prefix? What can I do to get these external links working?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Peter
I apologize for taking so long to respond. I just received a new computer with Vista and have had to set it up. Here is what happens:
1. In Word, I have a doc policy1.doc that contains a hyperlink to reldoc1.doc. The two files are in different folders. When I insert the link, Word shows it as a relative path ../RelatedDocs/reldoc1.doc. When I hover over it in the Word doc, it shows as an absolute path starting with file:///\\theserver, etc.
2. My RH project includes policy1.doc but not reldoc1.doc. I update policy1.doc in RH. In the HTML topic file (HTML view) the link is:
<a href="file:////theserver/path/reldoc1.doc">Link text</a>. Note the four forward slashes.
3. I save all project files and generate WebHelp.
4. In the resultant web page (in Firefox), I click the link in policy1 and nothing happens. The status bar shows the path the same as above.
5. I navigate to the output !SSL! and find the index page, and open it in Internet Explorer 8. The link shows in the status bar as file://theserver/path/reldoc1.doc, and when clicked IE opens the Word doc.
So in this case Firefox doesn't open the link but IE does.
Here is another scenario:
1. I have no links in myWord docs.
2. I generate topic files in RH using the linked Word docs.
3. In RH, in the HTML file for policy1 (policy1.htm) I add a link to reldoc1.doc. I choose the file protocol. RH asks me if I want to copy the doc into the project folder, and I say No.
4. I check the HTML for policy1.htm and see that it has the link as follows:
<a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
(Going to Hyperlink Properties shows the same path.) Note the two forward slashes.
5. I save all files in the project and click Generate Primary Layout (which is WebHelp). A dialog asks if I want to update <some file or other, but I can't see which one because that darned dialog box is too small, but I expect it's policy1.htm>.
6. I say No. The output is generated and I view it in Firefox. The link works and has a path in the status bar as:
<a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
Note the three forward slashes.
7. I view the index.htm file in IE and it works.
As a variant of the above, instead of saying No when asked if I want to update the file, I say Yes.
1.The HTML of policy1.htm now shows the link as:
<a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
Note the four forward slashes again.
2. The link is as shown in the status bar of Firefox is now set to:
<a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
It doesn't work.
2. The same link shown in IE status bar has two forward slashes (even though the source has four), and it works.
So in answer to your question, the link definitely changes within RH. The two browsers deal with things differently, with IE seeing a file://// link as file://.
Incidentally, I did some research on the file:// protocol and came up with:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don%27t_Work
The answer seems to be:
1. Add the links within RH.
2. Don't update when generating output.
3. If possible, get users to use IE instead of FF.
Either way, it's not very satisfactory for my purposes.
Regards,
Roger

Links when using Templates don't work in preview

I have created a template for the 'traditional' top banner,
left navaigation buttons site. In preview mode, any links
(navigation area or not) that point to another page in the web site
do not work, but external links go. (No error is reported, but
nothing happends) However, when published, all links work. Any
ideas what is happening?
Eample link:
<a href="../catalog.htm" target="_self"><img
src="../_derived/catalog.htm_cmp_edge000_vbtn.gif" width="140"
height="34" border="0" alt="Catalog & Renewal"
/></a><br />
The graphic does appear for the link.
If it makes any difference, this is a convert FrontPage site
where I manually edited the html to import the pages into my first
Dreamweaver site.
Thanks in advance,
Carolyn Wood

> In preview mode, any links (navigation area or not) that

This is how DW will work if you are using ROOT RELATIVE
links, *and*
temporary files to preview.
Here's an example -
* I create a page with a link to an image -> <img
src="/images/foo.gif">
(note that the image link is a root relative link - the path
says to go to
the
root of the site and look for the images folder because of
the leading
slash)
<img src="/images/foo.gif" (that's root relative - it
starts with the root
of the site)
<img src="../images/foo.gif" (that's document relative -
it starts with the
current location of the document)
* I preview that page with DW (since I am using temp files,
DW is kind
enough to realize that root relative links won't work in a
preview, and so
it converts them to document relative links when it builds
the temporary
file for the preview) -> <img
src="../images/foo.gif"> (I'm assuming that
your document is one level below the root of the site). In
the preview,
this page looks fine because the browser has no trouble with
the document
relative link - it knows where the file it just opened is,
and can follow
the path to the image).
* I then click on a link in the previewed page to another
page that also has
ROOT relative linked images --> <img
src="/images/bar.gif"> and suddenly
the image does not load.
Why? Because when you click away from the temp file DW just
built for you,
you have lost the benefit of the automatic conversion that DW
does with
root relative links, and the browser looks for this new image
starting from
the root of the hard drive, not the root of your site.
The solution is to not use root relative links, and to change
all your
existing ones to document relative.
