Navigating away from current page

I have an annoying problem that hopefully someone will possibly have a solution to with there browser knowledge. I have an account with a music promotional company they service me with music from their site. There are clickable links that download a .zip file when clicked on or CTL clicked on. The problem is when I select a file to download Safari (and FF) doesn't let me navigate away from the page it seems stuck and the blue 'loading' box appears and I can go to any other web pages whilst the download is in progress. Has anyone any ideas what this could be? I have Click to Flash installed but I can't see that being the problem? This also happens with FF so its not necessarily a Safari problem but nevertheless I'm sure someone will have an idea whats going on?
Many thanks

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Click to Flash I doubt has anything to do this download issue.
Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari and see if it makes a diffeerence.
For Firefox ...
1. From the Tools menu, select Clear Recent History... .
2. From the Time range to clear: drop-down menu, select the desired range; to clear your entire cache, select Everything.
3. Click the down arrow next to "Details" to choose what history elements to clear. Click Clear Now.
Firefox 3 for Mac OS X
1. In Firefox, from the Tools menu, select Clear Private Data.
2. Make sure Cache and Cookies are checked, and then click Clear Private Data Now.

  • How to Prevent Navigating Away From a Page?

    Hi all,
    I�m developing a JSF application using IBM Rational Application Developer v6.0 and have this scenario:
    Background:
    I have a page that acts as a 3 step wizard. It also contains links to other pages. The page has a corresponding �pagecode� bean with a request scope and another managed bean with a session scope and basically everything happens here, all the action and action listeners. Also this managed bean handles three important events the �page load�, �page load ends�, and �page post�.
    Desired Behavior:
    I want to enforce the user to complete all three steps of the wizard without navigating away from this wizard like page by displaying a message �hey you must complete all three steps� or something like that :).
    Problem:
    The user can click on other links on the page and navigate away from the wizard without completing all three steps.
    Any suggestions to this issue would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance.

    First: how do I change my stupid screen name? :)
    Thanks for your solution. Would this also work for normal html navigation? My understanding that this may only work for the JSF framework navigation rules. On the other hand I also have plain html links on the page and not really sure if the JSF framework also handles these types of navigation.
    This maybe a partial solution though and I really appreciate this.
    Thanks.

  • Having trouble navigating away from a page with streaming video or using menu items-extremly slow to react

    I watch twit.tv daily. anytime I am on the twit page and try to open another tab or try to use a menu item it takes an extremly long time to react to mouse click. At least 15 to 30 seconds. This started happening several updates ago for version 3.6.

    So, since I got no reply to my question I took the iPod into the Apple store and tried to dock it to another third party device. Same problem, no digital control of the iPod. After about 30 minutes of looking it over, the Apple Genius agreed the issue was likely hardware related and issued me a replacement. So apart from about an hour of my time in the store and however long it will take me to reload my library, I'm rather pleased.

  • How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

    In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

    Try using this extension. <br />

  • How do I stop the pop-up window in Facebook that asks "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page"

    It recently started to ask this every time I do anything on Facebook.

    Yes, this pop-up window in facebook is getting extremely annoying and most times after clicking on Ok, it will take me to a page totally opposite to where I wanted to go.
    When I chat on the Scrabble Discussion Board I have to click Ok constantly with each post even though I am not navigating away from that page but merely replying to a post on the same original page.
    It is not present on Chrome or IE 8, just on firefox, why?
    Please remove, fix, or tell me how to disable this totally useless pop-up.

  • SWF in PDF stops playing after navigating away from page

    I have a PDF ebook with SWF movies embedded each movie is a music track controller that plays a track from a soundtrack to the book.
    I want readers to be able to play the tracks while they read the book.
    This works fine in Acrobat. But in Digital Editions, as soon as I navigate away from the page showing the track controllers/SWF movies, the movie/track stops playing.
    Is there any way around this? Perhaps there are technical limitations to a Flash-based app. at play here.

    Arthur, this sounds like content you've created yes?
    If it's content you're creating then I'll have to send you to Engineering via the Digital Publishing Center at
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing/.
    There's a feedback form on that page (we don't currently do any ebook dev support on this forum.. there might be a forum unique to that at some point in the future). It's not very clear, but if you send a dev question to that feedback form you should get an answer from engineering. This ONLY applies to questions about creating content for consumption in ADE 1.5.... (end user questions regarding ADE 1.5 still go through web case support at http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/)

  • How do I stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

    I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."

    You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
    What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
    techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
    is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
    like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
    But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
    and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
    done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
    software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
    and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
    anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
    these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?

  • Move awesome bar away from web page

    The awesome bar sits right on top of each web page, making it hard to pick out in all the different environments. I want to move it away from the page into the frame. How do I do that?
    If i can't do that, can I move the tabs down?
    It is also quite thin, can I make it fatter?
    Thanks

    Right-click the Navigation bar and click on '''Tabs on Top''' to de-select that preference.

  • Can we stop user navigating away from Block in an Error condition?

    Hi all,
    I am writing validation code in custom library attached to an Oracle Form. Is there any way to stop
    the user from navigating away from a Data Block if there is a validation failure?
    Many Thanks,
    Prathima.

    it depends. some triggers fire, before validations are complete, e.g. when-button-pressed. there is also a difference between navigable and non-navigable buttons/items.
    better you check it out by putting messages inside your code.

  • Every time i want to go to another page a pop up comes up with ' do you want to navigate away from this page'. How can i get rid of it?

    every time i want to go to another page a pop up comes up with 'do you want to navigate away from this page'. For instance when i am on FB and i want to view a picture i am asked the question, also if i go to hotmail and want to go to the inbox the same question is asked. All i want to do is navigate away from pages without being asked EVERY single time. How can i switch it off

  • Detecting navigation away from a screen

    To play mp3 files in my web application, I've a  simple audio player with play/pause buttons, progress bar, etc. Just the way  VideoPlayer stops playing video when user of the application switches to some  other screen, I would like my audio player to stop playing audio when the user  switches to some other screen. What event can I use to detect that the audio  player (s:VGroup) isn't 'visible'?
    Although this question is framed around stopping an  audio player, the same applies to a situation where user is navigating away from  a form without saving modified data.
    Thanks,
    Dilip

    Hey Dilip,
    You need to include Javascript here. What you need to do is put an event on window.blur and on window.blur call a code of Flex application to make the audio player mute.
    I think that make sense to you still if you have any question let me know.
