My slash key doesnt work - it selects text if Im in a form, or shows a thin bar. I remaped keyboard (Linux) and other progs work OK, but not firefox.

I'm using Linux Mint in a Lenovo S400 lap-top. I had to remap my slash key for X because the scancode of the key is actually Right-Ctrl (go figure!), and all my programs are recognizing this configuration. But in firefox my remapping takes no effect, and the slash key actually selects text if I'm in a form, or makes a thin bar appear at the bottom of the screen.
Any help is welcome!

Can you reproduce in safe mode or a new profile?

  • Key combo to wrap selected text in quotes/parens/brackets?

    Not sure if this is in the right category
    Is there a key combo to wrap selected text in quotes/parens/brackets? Kinda like the umlaut (ü) or accent (é) combo. If not, is there a way to script it?

    No, but there are third-party utilities that will do that. For example utilities like TextExpander can be configured for it and there are others that will do it automatically - create a matching bracket, quote marks, etc. Look for them at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

  • Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox NEED HELP!!!

    Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox, all my text goes out of alignment and the fonts look like different sizes. Please let me know your thoughts. Here is a link to the page I'm having problems with. http://www.alexandrasantibanez.com/bio.html

  • My website works in IE but not firefox

    this is my web page:
    http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/Mallorca/mallorca%20ferns.htm
    It usess css to define layers and javascript to show and hide the layers. It uses a dhtml menu system by Milonic to execute the javascript
    This is part of the code for the layers:
    <pre><nowiki><style type="text/css">
    #Layer01 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:1;}
    #Layer33 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:33;}
    </style></nowiki></pre>
    This is part of the javascript to show/hide the layers:
    <pre><nowiki><script>
    function showlayer(layer){
    var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer).style.display;
    if(myLayer=="none"){
    document.getElementById(layer).style.display="block";
    } else {
    document.getElementById(layer).style.display="none";
    </script></nowiki></pre>
    It works OK in IE but not firefox

    If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
    The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
    There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

    Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

    If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
    To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.
    http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_DOCTYPE.asp
    Validate the html code here:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    You will have to fix all the errors if you want this to work in all browsers.

  • Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

    I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0

    Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0. when I play the video in IE, I go into IE, and locate the mms link under properties, when I right click. If I copy the mms link form IE directly into firefox, it will work. There ought to be a better way to do this. Also, I am using a hardware firewall, not a software firewall, and no proxy.

    You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

  • When I loginto a certain web site it just keeps going back to the login page. It works on IE but not Firefox. There is some setting I must have that is stopping the logon.

    their login page does not recognize my entry. Just keeps going back to page and says logon. It does work on Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.
