Meta viewport tag being overridden by the browser default

I have android 4.4 on a nexus10 and I believe my browser version is up to date.
In order to test my website on mobile devices I have created a page within my site with a fixed width meta viewport tag as follows:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=799" />
On first loading the page, the width of 799px is correctly applied and the layout of the page is as expected. If I navigate away from the page and then return by the back button, my viewport width is lost and the page is displayed at 980px, I believe this is the browsers default viewport. To restore the correct viewport width of 799px it is necessary to refresh the page.
I have been testing for some months now and I don't recall this behaviour in the past? None of the other mainstream mobile browsers exhibit this behaviour, they all work fine.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to the cause and/or solution.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Okay, thanks.
I might wait for the next version, and if it's still happening after that, I will file it.

Why are keywords not being shown in the Browser Grid View

Hi,
All the tutorials and manuals seem to have screenshots showing the browser grid view images with keywords at the bottom of the image. Now matter what i try i cannot get them to show up. Here are some of the things I've tried/observed.
- in the split view and viewer views the keywords show up as expected
- used the "browser metadata overlays" option (bottom right) to switch the browser between "show metadata" and "switch to basic view"
- used the "browser metadata overlays" edit option to confirm that both basic and standard overlays/views are configured to show keywords (ie. keyword is in the list on the right)
- i can see labels (red, green etc) in the browser grid view
- quit, deleted all my library preferences, restarted aperture
Are you seeing keywords in the browser view? Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
Also note I imported my library from iPhoto.
Cheers
Oliver

Hi i dont have primary checked heres what ive done
Hi thank youve tried editing all the basic and extended metadata options and so far i have managed to get the key words to show up on one photo at a time with a colour label.
To do this i have to go to the metadata tab on the left add a custom field to the general tab called it keywords to keep things simple lol.
This is the only way of getting my keyword to appear below the photo
However when i try and tag all the photos in the project with the same keyword and label it only tags the last one in the project ive held down cmd /option /ctrl nothing / some of these just tag one random picture with the metadata
i thank you guys in advance for your help

I would like to prevent content from this ip address from 173.223.52.163 being run in the browser. It is adds usualy and can be included in many sites like yahoo.

Often slows down the browser also.

This is one of those painful issues all admins seem to have to go thought as their users move form local to remote.
The solutions are not pretty but possible.
One that seems elegant but you would have to do some coding, would be to write a script to disable (turn off) time Machine when connecting via VPN (or better, enable it only when IN HOUSE).
I think that you should be able to use the firewall to look for the ip range of VPN users and to 'route' the ip of the TM device NOWHERE (drop). This will cause errors for your users ('Delayed Backup ' or 'Time Machine has not backed up in x Days') but should be a solution.
There are others, but they become more complex than this and most do not hide the errors.
Hope this gives you some inspiration,
Peter

How can I increase the browser default font size?

When clicking on 'tools' to got to 'options,' there is no 'option' to be found. Hence, I cannot go to tools to options to content to fonts and colors, and cannot change the default size of the browser. All documents I want to print from a website have the small font size.

Changing the font size or color on the screen/monitor
*does NOT affect the print size
*can cause problems in displaying websites on the screen/monitor
*See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-fonts-languages-pop-ups-javascript (it says near the top '''''"The Content panel contains options related to how websites are <u>displayed</u>."''''')
Print font size is determined on the Print display
*You can un-check "Shrink to fit" and then set your percentage, if you choose, but text may run off the right side of the printed page.
*For Printing problems see -

ADOBE - Why is the meta "viewport" tag missing from the jQuery Mobile Web starter pages?

Hi -
I'm just starting to play with mobile and responsive web design. I worked out a mobile version of an existing site which looked good locally but when I uploaded it the site appeared miniaturized and not optimized for small viewports. All the text, images, buttons, etc - were tiny on the iPhone screen when the site was supposed to adapt to the small screen. It took me a few hours of hair pulling to find out that the most important tag of all was missing:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
Why on earth would Adobe tout that their web dev application has features to springboard mobile design if the starter pages don't even include the fundamental tag that makes a site viewable on mobile screens ??
Is my version of Dreamweaver missing something? Version 12/build 5861, Mac OS X 10.7.5 ? Or has someone at Adobe forgot to test this product? Or am I just crazy (besides being mad as hell)?
thanks,
Josh

I keep getting error messages about tags being added, and the errors keep coming until I have to force quit firefox because it is non-responsive.

Error Message: The tag 'United States' has been added to and/or removed from items in multiple locations. It has been added to the following local items:
The error message will repeat with different tags such as male or human. It seems to be saying it is putting the tags on articles stored in my Zotero, but I am not sure the titles match.

When you post code, please use[code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting tips on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.

Whenever i or anyone else close the mozilla browser and later try to open it i always keep being told that the browser is still operating and will not re-open. if anyone can please help or explain it to me my email is *********@*******.***

this happens every time i close my browser and try to reopen it, whether I'm opening it 1 minute later or 10 hours later. Every time i have to open my start task manager and end process.

I can't direct my downloads: the browser defaults them to a temp file and then I can't find them

When I ask for a download, I get a choice of "open" or "save." I sometimes need to save rather than opening and saving, e.g., when I am downloading an "exe" file. When I chose "save," My old Yahoo browser gave me a dialogue box asking me where I wanted the download saved, e.g. to Desktop. My Mozilla browser, however, does not give me such a box but instead just begins saving. I believe it saves the download to a "temp" file which I then cannot locate and copy to the proper location.

1. In the Downloads window, right-click a file and select Open Containing Folder to see where that particular download was saved.
2. Tools > Options > General - in the middle of that window is where preferences for Downloads can be viewed and set

'Page Info' doesn't support HTML5 'meta charset' tag?

Admittedly this isn't a catastrophic problem, but it seems that the Firefox 'Page Info - General' dialog does not support HTML5's '<meta charset="UTF-8">' tag - the dialog displays an empty line in my Firefox 21.0 browser.
If the meta charset tag is changed to the pre-HTML5 version of '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> the Page Info dialog displays the 'Content-type' information.
Other posts I've seen suggest that Firefox's HTML5 support has been frozen except for new HTML5 standards that may be added as they are finalised.
Does that mean that this omission is going to be left unfixed?

Looks as though someone started working on this in 2010, but interest (?) petered out?

Passing through XML in HTML forms without it being displayed in Web Browser

Dear all
I have some MapViewer XML stored in a variable, which I wish to pass through a HTML form. However whenever I insert the variable into the form and run the procedure, my web browser starts reading the actual XML and treating it as HTML, since it is only part of a complete XML script. Even if it was a complete XML script, it would still try and display it. Is there away of making sure the value is passed through without being read by the browser?
For example:
PROCEDURE DISPLAY
AS
var_xml VARCHAR2(32767) :='<theme name="theme_county"/>';
htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                  NAME ="var_xml"
                  VALUE = "' || var_xml || '" />Then causes the output to the browser to become:
htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                  NAME ="var_xml"
                  VALUE = "<theme name="theme_county"/>" />The browser is of course reading the XML as HTML.
Kind regards
Tim

Dear all
I have now resolved the problem by submitting values which can then be used to recreate the xml in another function, rather than actually submitting the xml itself through the forms. This makes more sense and avoids people having to see any of the xml.
Kind regards
Tim

Why does Firefox 5 open external (internet, SMTP) e-mail in the browser rather than the Lotus Notes Client?

Using Lotus Notes as the system's primary mail client, '''some''' users experience external mail being opened in the browser rather than the the client. When they revert back to using an older version as the OS default browser, or indeed a different browser altogether, this does not happen.
Again, this does not happen with all installations of 5.0 - just a few.

go to "preferences" in Lotus Notes and enable "disable embodded browser for MIME mail" and it shoudn't open the browser anymore

Preview In Browser defaults to Print Dialog Window??

Hi!
I am using DW CS3 and every now and then, when I press F12
instead of my site being previewed in the browser, it opens the
print window. I have checked my Preview in Browser settings and
they are correct.
I use F12 for Opera and Ctrl+F12 for IE7 ....
Is there a way to fix this problem?? The last time this
happened it righted itself after rebooting my computer, but this
time it didn't and I have rebooted twice as well as deleted the
settings for both browsers and set them up again.
Please help!

Sounds like a computer issue to me. I've never seen that
reported here
before....

Which meta name="viewport" tag best used for Mac/Safari iPhone?

My test page URL using auto generated tag is: http://02ca0d2.netsolhost.com/action_appliance_02/index.html
Received suggestion as a result of posting question on the PVII forum, and included in the response was the suggestion that the DW CS6 automatically generates would be best changed to another, as follows:
DW CS6 tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
The preferred tag for responsive pages suggested alternative was:
Suggested alternative: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
Can both be used in some way without conflict, or which one would be best, if indeed there is a preference or desired "best practice" across the broadest spectrum of available devices being in common use?
Again, this seems applicable to iPhones, and Safari, and as I'm Mac/Safari oriented, this opened another door in responsive design of which I am absorbing; or trying to understand.
I did research the following link but remain unable to make a decision at this juncture.
https://developer.apple.com/library/IOS/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWe bContent/UsingtheViewport/UsingtheViewport.html
Thanks in advance.

Originally Dreamweaver CS6 used this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
The latest update of Dreamweaver CS6 and Dreamweaver CC now use this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
The second version is considered to be preferable, although there's not much to choose between them. The important element is setting width to device-width. Without it, most smartphones will scale the page to fit into a nominal viewport approximately 960px wide.
By the way, there's nothing wrong with working on a specific operating system, but don't become blinkered by your Mac/Safari preference. It's the World Wide Web, not the Mac/Safari Web.

Elements organizer: Geo Tags - why not in the meta-data ?

Hi again,
Some of my Photos have geotags (i.e. GPS-Information) in the meta data. Elements Organizer finds it - all right.
Now when i put a Geotag to a photo (without GPS-Information in the meta data) with elements organizer it also works, but there is still no Information in the GPS meta data.
Why is that?
Where is the GPS Information stored, when not in the metadata?
Thanks to all!

elenah
I do use the Elements Organizer, but not to great extent.
So, please review the following and then let me know if you have been there and found that already.
If I setup a photo GeoTag in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, after that I see
a. The description of the GeoTag itself in Tags/Place Tags
b. When I select the GeoTagged image in the Elements Organizer browser, the Image Tags information
for that photo is shown at the bottom of the Information/Image Tags column at the right.
c. The GeoTab information appears as a caption under the zoomed in photo in the Elements Organizer Browser.
If the GeoTab image is saved as in Photoshop Elements 12/13.1 and imported back into the Elements Organizer, the GeoTagging is recognized.
I do not see GeoTab information elsewhere in the Elements Organizer nor in the Photoshop Elements Editor
(File Info or other) at that point.
Please remind me if you have Photoshop Elements 13/13.1 as well as the Premiere Elements 13/13.1. I need to explore
the possibility of adding metadata into the program by pointing to Photoshop Elements Editor/File Menu/File Info. If that is at
all possible, it looks like you are facing creating xmp templates. Have never been there and done that.
In the Elements Organizer itself, I suspect what we do not see is being supplied by the Elements Organizer catalog behind
the scenes. But, please check out the Elements Organizer 13 Help PDF Chapter 6 Adding Metadata to see if there is anything
there that you do not already know.
https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/elements-organizer_reference.pdf
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/file-information.html
For the best possible answer and not assumptions and any unlikely scenarios from me, you are probably best served putting this GeoMapping question before the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum people if you do not get some Adobe help on this.

Excel Output is being displayed as HTML in the browser

Hi All,
I am using PeopleSoft XML Publisher 5.6.2 to generate an Excel report using RTF template. The report runs successfully.
However, when I click the Output file link in the View Log page of process scheduler, the file is being displayed as a HTML page, though the extension of the file is .xls.
Also when I try to save the file by using 'Save Taget as' option, the browser prompts me to save the file as 'mhtm' file and not 'xls' file.
The following is an extract from the output file.
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>IM Top 10 Surplus & Deficit Locations</title>
After doing some research on Internet, I found the following blog post(dated back in 2008) to describe my situation and a workaround to the problem.
http://peoplesofttipster.com/2008/04/16/xls-xmlp-output-opening-in-browser-not-excel/
http://peoplesofttipster.com/2008/04/18/xls-xmlp-output-opens-in-browser-workaround/
Workaround described in the above blog post is to update the charset to us-ascii replacing UTF-8. This seems to work. But with limited file processing capabilities of peoplecode, this workaround is not a simple solution.
I also verified the mime-type mapping in the web.xml file in the webserver. Please find below the .xls mime-type mapping in the web.xml file.
<mime-mapping> <extension> xls </extension> <mime-type> application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type></mime-mapping>
Question:
1.How do I force the browser to open the excel output file using either Excel plugin or Excel Application instead of displaying it as HTML page?
2.If not the above, how can I force the system to promt the user to save the file as Excel file instead of mhtml?
Additional details :
work enivronment
PeopleSoft FSCM 8.9
PeopleTools 8.48.17
Oracle 10g
Windows NT
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamsi Krishna

Please try this by Open windows explorer, Click Tools -> Folder Options ->,Click on File Types and Select XLS from the list, Click Advanced, select "Open" and Make sure the “Browse in same window” is not selected.
Hope this helps,
