Opening a text edit document in Firefox

Hello,
I am a beginning student in web design. I am trying to open a simple document in text edit with Firefox. When I open the file in a new tab, nothing appears.
How can I fix this?
Thank you

Finally found this one!!!
1. Make .txt file.
2. Add this for Firefox:
<body contentEditable="true" onload="load()">
Or both that and this for IE:
JavaScript:
function load(){
window.document.designMode = "On";
3. Change it to an .html file.
4. Create a bookmark for the file. You can use "Google Shortcuts" if FF easily, or check out "Custom Buttons" and the user forum.

SOLVED! For me, at least. You can edit as you please, and then save the file fro your browser. When it reloads, Its all there!! ALso check out: "It's all text!"

My macBook Pro is 2 months old and I can't open any of my text edit documents.

My macBook Pro 13 inch is 2 months old and I can't open any of my text edit documents all of the sudden.

If this is because textEdit will not open, run Disk Utility.
The "heavy lifting" is done by ( Repair disk ). If that is grayed out, you can use ( Verify Disk ), as long as no errors are found.
Then use ( Repair Permissions ). This is used to fix Applications that will not open because their permissions got damaged, otherwise it does almost nothing.

Adobe photoshop lightroom 4.pkg trying to open with text edit -- how do i open as application?

downloaded trial for mac, all requirements are met, but cannot get download to open as an application, mac is trying to open with text edit; downloaded several times, every time the disk utility opens

The .dmg was opening with Disk Utility, where it would verify and then mount the "Lightroom 4.0" disc image on my desktop. Clicking on this opened the folder, which contained the .pkg file, but it wouldn't work (opening with TextEditor). I changed the .dmg file to open with DiskImageMounter and thought I would have to manually change the .pkg file as well, but once the .dmg file opened with DiskImageMounter, the Lightroom 4 file opened with it as well and I got the installation screen right away. Installation from that point on went as usual. It was a very frustrating experience, but now I know where to look when a file won't install. But as for your question, they both opened with DiskImageMounter.

I accidentally "formatted" a text edit document, and didn't want to save it - but that's no longer an option How do I retrieve the previous version?

I created a list of emails on a text edit document that can be easily inserted into an e-blast. I accidentally did something that cause most of them to form a narrow column - up/down rather than right/left, if that makes sense. With the very annoying way documents are automatically saved, I'm now stuck with this. How can this format be un-done?

Well, you need to try to remember what it is you did. If you have not closed the document or saved it manually since you did the formatting, then it should show up under the Undo. If it is not showing there, then it may have been a setting you changed. Did you change your margins? In the ruler on top, where are the left and right margin indicators? Is the right on really far over toward the left?

Downloads open as Text Edit files

Hi, I bought my first Mac a couple of weeks ago (never been able to afford one before!) and it's proving to be as amazing as I expected, but I'm still trying to work lots of things out.
When I try to download files from the internet or from email attachments they go to my downloads folder but when I open them they come up as what looks like a computer code in a Text Edit window.
At first I thought this was because I was trying to open Windows only file types but I just tried to download a game that was supposed to be for Mac only and it happened here as well. (This is the website I was trying to download from: http://absolutist.com/mac/bubble_shooter/ )
I appreciate I'm probably being a moron but I've trawled the forums here and can't seem to find an answer - any help would be very welcome.
Thanks

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
After you click on the download link a window will pop up showing you what type of file it is you are trying to download. In this case, it's a .sit file.
In the center of the window you will see:
_*Open With.*_ Make sure this is selected.
Now check to see what application/program is selected to open your files. It appears to be some text edit program. You will need to select an application that you want to open your .sit files or all your files for that matter.
I personally, use the free Stuffit Expander to open all my files instead of depending on the OS to open them.
You can download Stuffit Expander from VersionTracker.

My Macbook with 10.6.8 is having trouble with certain applications- Word will not open, and text edit or pdf will not print.

My Macbook (13 inch 2008) running OS 10.6.8 is having trouble with some applications. Word will not even open. I cannot print from text edit or Preview or Adobe. Excel sometimes opens but very slow. What could be wrong? I have repaired permissions, used an antivirus program, deleted some old MS fonts, and still no change. I have 1 G RAM and there seems to be plenty available and I have 50 G of hard drive space empty.

Well, first 1gb of Ram is not plenty. It's the absolute bare minimum just to run OS X 10.6.8. The MS Office applications are ram hogs also. I would recommend three things.
1. Get more ram.
2. Reinstall and update your MS Office applications.
3. Reinstall Snow Leopard.
If you're not familiar with Activity Monitor you might have a look at this link and you'll be able to judge your ram situation a little better.

I cannot find my saved text edit documents after interrupting file vault, where did they go?

Was file vault able to back up even though it was interrupted? Where does it go? Can I restore my computer to where it was before I tried using filevault? I think I have backed up my computer with iCloud previously.

Is FileVault on or off?
Do you have any backups besides what is being backed up to iCloud?

Why does text/edit leave line spaces when using Oracle?

This question is just not limited to Macbook Pro's I'm sure, but to Text/Edit as a whole. I find Apple's text/edit to very unusable cross-platform. It leaves line spaces when you copy and past code from it to an Oracle environment causing the code to execute incorrectly leaving errors (I deactivated all extra features and chose 'Plain Text'). Also, when you open a text/edit document in Windows the formatting that was used is lost (It shoud keep the formatting without the line spaces like Windows Notepad). For instance, it displays the code on 3 lines (depeneding how much code you have). This is pretty moronic for something that should be simple and usable without much effort.
For people that use both platforms for web design and development, this text/edit is pretty unproductive. I had to search and find one that works, which I shouldn't have to do for something like this. I mean it's just a text/editor. Make it useful for what it is, instead trying to be different on this one. Save that for the other great applicatoins that Apple offers.

Ok so in this example, I add a comma to the first paragraph (left window, circled in red). There is no change to the text flow in this paragraph... but as soon as I type the comma, the paragraph below it reflows, for no apparent reason.
I've tried opening the file in CS5.5, and the same thing happens. (And it's happening throughout the entire 300 page book)
- in this example, if I delete the comma from the first paragraph, the second paragraph remains changed - ie it doesn't go back to how it was.
Why did Indesign suddenly change the justification setting in the 2nd paragraph?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Older version of text edit won't open protected file

An older version of Text Edit has replaced the copy I had. It is not opening. I have a disk mounted password protected file that holds a Text Edit document. Clicking on the document isn't working.
I tried to find a download page for the current version of Text Edit, but I didn't see one on Apple's site. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I am trying not to go back to the Genius Bar, as a stray Text Edit icon from yesterday's session (another issue) started this mess!
Thank you!

No need to open Textedit - just select it in Finder, then press Command I (or Finder - File menu - Get Info) : a new window should open with information about the item, including the version number.

Excel opens in read only mode on firefox. How do I edit?

If I open an emailed excel document in Firefox it opens as "read only". If I open the same document in Explorer I have the option to edit. How do I get Firefox to allow for editing excel documents?

When you choose Open in the Open/Save/Cancel dialog, Firefox usually uses the Windows TEMP folder. It is safer as cor-el suggests to save the document somewhere else either before or after making your edits. (My understanding of Read Only in Microsoft Office is not that you can't edit, but that you cannot save over the original, so you need to use Save As to save your edits.)

Text edit won't save documents

Several days ago i started having a problem i never had before in a zillion mac years. I use Text Edit a lot, to take quick notes or copy and paste things. I save the documents, give them a name, put them in a folder, or throw them away. Several days ago, i had some trouble saving. This being Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5, i have to hold down the option key to get Save As to come up in the File menu. i don't really need it because Save will ask if i want to Save As, but it took me a while to understand that and by then i was in the habit of the option key.. Anyway, a few days ago, when i would click Save As, the file menu button would light up but instead of just quickly opening a Save As window, there was a delay. Then, the window opened and i saved. As time went by, sometimes the File menu button would light up and just sit there, no window would come, and then after maybe 10 seconds, the light would go off and no save option window came up. That is the problem i'm having now. I have a bunch of text edit documents on my desk top, Untitled, Untitled 2, Untitled 3, etc. I can't save them. I click on Command S, same thing happens, i try clicking the Close button (red button in upper left) but it just lights up for 5 or 10 seconds and goes off. It doesn't ask me if i want to save before closing, as it used to.
Has anyone heard of anything like this before? Is there anything i can try to fix the problem and to be able to save my documents? If i force quit, will there be a saved version of the documents anywhere? I have a Time Capsule. i've never tried to retrieve anything from it. What a hassle. i'd appreciate some help if anyone has heard of this issue. I'm able to save/save as in Preview and in Word. As far as i know the problem is just in Text Edit.

Control- or right-click on the file in the Finder & choose "Compress" from the contextual menu that appears. The option is also available from the File menu in the Finder.

Text Edits Opens Whenever I Try To Open A Disk On My Mac

I have a MacBookAir 10.9.4, and every time I install a disk ( for example; Digital Editions 4.0 Installer.pkg) and try to open it, it opens with Text Edit, and that gets me confused, so how am I suppose to change that?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A file dialog should appear. Select the package you want to install, then press return.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Help with printing text to Text Edit

-- Here is a applescript that generates prime numbers up to a certain number. I tried to get the script to print out every number up to the number defined in a text edit document. I got a -1700 error that says (error "Can’t make result of 3 into type Unicode text." number -1700 from result of 3 to Unicode text). If anyone has any help that they can offer me it will be greatly appreciated.
Heres the Script
local min, max, neverZero, maxDiv, divTry, res
set {min, max} to {1, 503}
set res to {}
if min = 1 then set min to 2
if min = 2 then set {res, min} to {{2}, 3}
if min mod 2 = 0 then set min to min + 1
repeat until min > max
    set maxDiv to intsqrt(min)
    set {neverZero, divTry} to {true, 3}
    repeat until divTry > maxDiv
        if min mod divTry = 0 then
            set neverZero to false
            exit repeat
        end if
        set divTry to divTry + 2
    end repeat
    if neverZero then
        set res to res & min
        log min
        set resultinfo to "" & result of min
        tell application "TextEdit"
            activate
            set nme_file to ""
            set the_file to (open for access nme_file with write permission)
            write "" & resultinfo to the_file
            write return & resultinfo to the_file starting at eof
            close access the file
        end tell
    end if
    set min to min + 2
end repeat
on intsqrt(N)
    return (do shell script "echo 'sqrt (" & N & " )' | /usr/bin/bc")
end intsqrt

You're confusing two different steps. If you want to write the data to an open textedit window, you build a text string of the integers and then write it out to the window like this:
tell application "TextEdit"
          set text of document 1 to text_string
end tell
After that you'll have to save the document. On the other hand, if you want to write directly to the file on disk, don't use a textedit tell block - just write to the file at the script level (i.e. your code looks correct, but shouldn't be in a tell block). then you'll have to convince the open textedit window to refresh (which might be a bit tricky).
