Optimizing for different web browsers? Help

Hi,
I have a spry horizontal nav bar at the top of my page. I originally made the page viewing it using Chrome. When I look at it in IE, the spry bar is always bigger, covers up its container border. I cant seem to come to a compromise between the 2 browsers because one change will screw up the other. It actually started with the last menu item on the right showing up below the menu item all the way on the left because the container was too small, overflow would be nice but I need it off in that container. But Chrome's view was beautiful.
So, are there any good articles or info on making rules for specific browsers? Or does this not exist?

No two browsers display everything exactly the same way.  Using a Reset CSS is one method for standardizing the various browser's default margins, padding and text sizes.
Using valid code helps a great deal.   Some browsers are less forgiving of code errors than others.
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
Finally, if IE won't cooperate, use conditional comments inside the <head> tags but after all other <style> tags.
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
/* place css fixes for all versions of IE in this conditional comment */
body {font-size: 76%}
#container { zoom: 1;}
/* the above proprietary zoom property
gives IE the hasLayout it needs to avoid several bugs */
</style>
<![endif]-->

  • Turn off "Optimizing for fast web viewing"?

    I downloaded a .doc file from the internet with Firefox and saved it to hard drive. Then I had it converted to a .pdf format online via zamzar.com. Then I opened it with Adobe Reader XI and saved it to hard drive, but it changes size in that process. There's a popup near lower right of screen saying "Optimizing for Fast Web Viewing" (see graphic below) which I never saw before. This is very disconcerting and upsets all notions of file identity based on size. I don't want it to change the size automatically. How do I turn that off?

  • Anyone tried different web browsers on the ipad?

    HI,
    I tried the ipad out today, and I couldn't get on with the safari browser. The back 'button' was in the wrong place for me as it's in the upper left corner of the screen, and I tend to hold the ipad with my left hand towards the bottom of the screen. I know it doesn't sound like a major issue, but as I'd be doing a lot of web browsing it was enough to put me off buying one, considering the price.
    I've jsut found out (thanks to this forum) that there are other browsers for the ipad. Has anyone tried them, and how good are they? Is the back 'button' always in the same place, or is there one with it at the bottom of the screen?

    plarkin wrote:
    I just looked at the screen shots for the browsers I mentioned in the other thread. It appears that in the Atomic browser, the back/forward buttons are on a bar on the lower left portion of the screen. Perhaps someone who has the Atomic browser installed can confirm.
    Thanks, just youtubed it and it is on the bottom left. Looks more like the safari on the iphone where the back/forward buttons are much better placed. I wonder why they changed this for the ipad safari?

  • Trinidad faces and JSF faces not optimized for android web-browser.

    We are developing Mobile based application using Oracle ADF Mobile (Jdev R1). Trinidad Faces and JSF faces are rendering optimized on all smart phones (i.e. iPhone, Blackberry and windows) except Android (linuxwebkit) web browser. On Android web-browser page rendering as render in desktop browser.
    any idea please?
    thanks
    yousuf

    Hi,
    copying the answer I provided on the Stack Overflow forum to the same question:
    Apparently you are correct and the ADF Mobile developer guide for 11g R1 doesn't mention Android as a target platform: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e10140/toc.htm
    However, JDeveloper 11g R2 does : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16178/toc.htm
    Just search for "Android" and you see what I mean. As you mention the base technology is Apache MyFaces Trinidad and the version of Trinidad thus determines the support for mobile devices.
    Apparently JDeveloper 11g R2 uses the Trinidad libraries (JSF 2) that support the Android platform while JDeveloper 11g R1 does not.
    Given that Trinidad 1.2 supports Android (though it might not have been tested as mentioned here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/mobile.html) you should be able to create your own skin for Android as documented here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/mobileSkinning.html
    The RequestContext object in Trinidad returns the calling agent and you may want to check first if this returns Android. If it does then creating and applying a skin is easy to do.

  • Certificate for WLC web auth - HELP

    Hi all
    I need to buy a cert for my WLC web authentication
    I have read the document below
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080a77592.shtml              
    However, I want to fill in the details and generate the CSR via the provider im buying the cert from, thawte
    Am I ok doing all this via the provider, or do I need to use open SSL to generate the CSR?    
    Can anyone post the steps in here I need to take when purchasing and installing a chained certificate on my WLC.
    The WLC has the latest version of code.
    cheers
    Carl

    Here are the instructions for a chained certificate.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080a77592.shtml
    It's simple enough, copy and paste the chanin below the certificate when you generate the final.pem.
    Main thing to remember when compiling the final.pem use a version of OpenSSL < 1.0 as it won't install.
    If your provider will generate the CSR for you it should be fine, but you will need the private key to recompile the certificate.
    As you'll be using OpenSSL to recompile the certificate you may as well use it to generate the CSR, there's not much to it.
    Thanks

  • Images on Facebook do not appear when using different web browsers

    Images on Facebook do not appear when using Safari on my Macbook Pro (I've tried Google Chrome too with the same result).  This makes me think it's a setting within OS Mavericks that I'm missing.  I have not seen this issue on any other computers.  This only occurs on my, and others' profile pictures on my profile page and on the news feed, not photos that are posted in albums or on walls.  and yes, i have images enabled in Safari.
    In safari the images don't appear, and in their place is a small blue "?" square >>.
    In Chrome it appears as a broken image link >>
    Has anyone encountered this?  Is there a fix?  It is very annoying.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Youtube very slow, not only on safari but all other of my web browsers.HELP

    Over the past weeks youtube has been getting slower and slower, a few weeks ago it wouldn't even load youtube thumbnails, it's very confusing. My mac is almost a year old and has 4 gigabytes of ram. It is running MAc OS X 10.5 (whatever the most current version is) Any tips?

    Hi
    Follow the suggestions set forth in this recent post for upgrading to the latest version of Flash (10.0.12.36). When complete, restart Safari, then go to the Safari Menu and "empty cache". Then try the video linked in the aforementioned post.

  • Is there an archive page for Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE versions of web browsers?

    Is there an archive page for downloads of Flash Player plugin installers for the PORTABLE versions of web browsers like Firefox ESR?
    One of my web browsers is Firefox ESR 10.0.7 and it is a PORTABLE version of Firefox that apparently needs a different Flash Player plugin than the normal Flash Player plugin that regular versions of most web browsers require.
    I do not want to install the most recent Flash Player plugin PORTABLE version because I've read about problems with it and that's the only version that this Firefox ESR will give me the option to download and install when I try to install the needed Flash Player plugin through the browser.
    I already know about the normal Adobe Flash Player plugin archive page, linked below, but that does not have the Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE web browsers.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    I also looked on OldApps.com and I couldn't find anything there.
    Where can I download an older version, possibly one of the 11.2 Flash Player plugins from around April 2012, that will work with this PORTABLE version Firefox ESR?
    I tried this question on the Mozilla Firefox help forum but no one could answer it.
    Thanks for any help,
    digiday

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks again for your reply. Your solutions seemed like they might work, especially since you were able to tell me where the Windows system Flash Player plugin files are located.
    And for a minute or two, I thought it was working.  In my first tests in the PORTABLE Firefox browser I'm testing with, it was actually playing some YouTube videos, but then I found that not all YouTube videos apparently rely on Flash to play... apparently some do and some do not, and I found that most of them do require Flash to play.  I had tested with some of my own videos that I uploaded to YouTube in the past in my first tests today and they played just fine, but then I started testing with some other Flash YouTube videos and they would not play and I got both the yellow bar at the top of my window telling me to download and install Flash as well as the red banner across the video player that told me I needed to install Flash.
    Let me also make it clear that I'm testing this on other sites with Flash videos besides YouTube, and webpages that have relatively simple animated Flash graphics, and those alternate tests are showing that the Flash Player plugin for this PORTABLE Firefox still will not work either.
    So to spite everything, I tried actually downloading and installing the newest Flash Player plugin, 11.4 something, (which I was trying to avoid) through the browser, and that only proceeded to overwrite my Windows system Flash Player plugin and it DID NOT place any Flash Player plugin files in the PORTABLE Firefox plugins folder.
    I had pasted in the files you recommended in to the PORTABLE Firefox plugins folder, and I actaully included ALL the files from that Windows system Flash plugin folder for this test, but unfortunately that didn't work, and even after I tried changing the name of that one file, it still didn't work.
    And I am closing and re-opening the browser in between each of these steps in my test.
    So here, below, I'm including an email letter that I've now written to a Tor Browser support email address where I had been corresoponding previously.  The "Tor-Firefox" web browser is the PORTABLE Firefox ESR web browser that I've been referring to.  This is what I wrote, which pretty much sums up everything I've tried and been unsuccessful with so far...
    Hello Tor Browser help staff,
    I've now tried everything and I cannot get ANY Flash content to play in this Tor-Firefox ESR web browser, even though I've tried installing the Flash player plugin that this browser asks for when I'm on a YouTube page (and even though this computer already had a current Flash Player plugin installed previously).
    Let me make it clear that privacy is not important to me right  now during this quest to make the Flash Player plugin work with this Tor browser... I can reset any settings for maximum privacy later when I go back to that purpose for using Tor... right now, I'm just trying to make the Tor browser play Flash content.
    So even though I've UNCHECKED the Torbutton>Preferences>Security  Settings>Disable plugin during Tor usage box, and I installed a new Flash player plugin THROUGH this browser, and I even set it to allow all scripts because I thought maybe that was complicating things, IT STILL WILL NOT PLAY FLASH CONTENT OF ANY TYPE.
    Now, this, explained below, could be part of the problem that I'd like to ask for your help or SOMEONE's help with there in your department...
    If I go to the Tor Browser folder on my hard drive at C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins there are NO Flash plugin files that show up in that folder even after I install a new Flash Player plugin THROUGH this browser... I believe that is why it will not play Flash content. 
    All it does when I install a Flash Player plugin through this Tor browser is to overwrite my Windows 7 system Flash Player plugin, but it does not actually place any Flash Player plugin files in the C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins folder, so that's why this PORTABLE version of the Firefox ESR browser will not play any Flash content... and it doesn't work from the Windows system Flash Player plugin the way that my normal Firefox (NON-TOR) web browser does.  My other Firefox web browser sees the the Windows system Flash Player plugin just fine and it does play Flash content correctly.
    There is, however, one text file that comes stock inside the Tor browser plugins folder and when it is opened it says, "Place Firefox plugins in this directory (Flash, Shockwave, etc)".
    So with some advice from someone on the Adobe help forum, I tried copying the Flash Player plugin files from the Windows system folder at C:>Windows>System32>Macromed>Flash in to the Tor browser plugins folder at C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, and that still didn't work. 
    Note that I am closing and re-opening the Tor browser between each of these tests.
    So I then followed some further advice from the expert on the Adobe help forum and I changed the name of the main Flash Player plugin file that I had copied and pasted in to the Tor browser plugins folder from "NPSWF32_11_4_402_278.dll" to "NPSWF32.dll", and that still did not work... note that I left all the other files that I copied and pasted from the Windows system Flash plugins folder with the same name they originally had... I tried only changing that one Flash plugin file name, as instructed by the expert on the Adobe help forum.
    I also tried posting a question about this on the Mozilla Firefox forum, but no one there is able to answer this question.
    What the problem seems to be is that when this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser installs a Flash Player plugin, it just installs it to the Windows system folder (the same way that the normal (non-Tor) Firefox browser does) and  NOT  into the Tor-Firefox plugins folder C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, as would be needed for it to be able to play Flash content.
    No matter what I do, whenever I try to view a YouTube video or any Flash video in this browser, or any Flash graphic content at all, I get the yellow bar at the top of the page that says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page - Install Missing Plugins" and there is a banner displayed where the Flash content is supposed to be that says, "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback - Get the latest Flash Player".
    And as I explained at the top of this email, I have already installed and re-installed the Flash Player plugin on this computer multiple times, including doing it directly through this Tor-Firefox ESR browser itself.
    So can ANYONE there tell me how to get the correct Flash Player plugin files in to the Tor-Firefox browser plugins folder at C:>Tor  Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, and where do I get those files?  Everything I've tried, which is pretty extensive, has not worked, and it seems that someone there should know about this.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Acrobat Flattening Form Fields and Optimizing for Web

    I'm trying to optimize a PDF for the web and flatten all the form fields. I also want to remove the purple dialogue box at the top when optimizing on the web. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've toiled around with it for some time and can't seem to figure it out. In the older version, I would simply save it as a file optimized for the web, which would then flatten all the form fields and remove the purple box at the top. Any help would be appreciated.

    Your question really belongs in one of the Acrobat forums. I flatten form fields (use the pre-flight tool) and then save for the web.

    There are several different web browsers in the iTunes Store, though Firefox is not one of them. Just open the App Store app on your iPhone and do a search for "browser" or "web browser". You can similarly search the iTunes Store through iTunes on your computer. Then just buy and download the app you think will best fit your needs.

  • Skype: Stop Hijacking Web Browsers!

    Installed update 6.6.0.106 on 07/15/2013 and noticed during the installation process that the installer wanted to hijack the search engine and home pages of (4) web browsers including MSIE, Chrome, Mozilla and Safari. Skype (Microsoft), what on EARTH, makes you think that a person who is installing an update to Skype would want to change their default search engines or homepages on MULTIPLE different web browsers on their machine? It's rude, it's an attack on a person's computer, and it shines a light on what dispicable behavior and malicious software occurs within the Skype software. Want to hijack someone's browser like a common malware?  Fine, stick to your own God awful MSIE browser, but don't you DARE try to touch my superior Chrome and Firefox browsers. Shame on you! Luckily for you, I caught your lame attempt in advance...  Otherwise, I'd be REALLY angry.  But others here need to know that shameful companies like Microsoft do this everyday in an attempt to harvest your personal information.  Be careful whenever you install software and read every checkbox!

    Yes. Yes. Yes.  My browser was hijacked too. It IS hijacking.  I can't believe Microsoft would be such idiots that they've decided they're willing to piss off so many people just to steal some eyeballs. MICROSOFT: wake up and stop doing stupid and easily avoidable dumb things.  Now I'm going to be getting calls from countless clients, friends, and family asking, "How come my Google looks different." and "What happened to that nice Comcast news screen I used to see when I started the internet?"  And I get to tell them that Microsoft tricked them and stole their time and my time to fix the problem. Great way to establish a good reputation, Microsoft... NOT. Please, have some respect for your customers' time. Don't try to trick us.  This is either a slimy marketing decision on Microsoft's part, or a total rookie mistake.  THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THIS RUDE BEHAVIOR BY MICROSOFT.  

  • Flash not working in web browsers

    Hello,
    I'm working on an Intel Mac, 10.4.7 and recently the Flash
    plugin for my web browsers -- Firefox, Safari, Opera -- stopped
    providing audio: video works fine, but no audio coming through. I
    am getting audio in other applications, so I know the sound
    settings are not muted somewhere on my computer.
    I can't trace this problem to anything specific, except
    around the time I noticed this problem I had installed the latest
    version of iTunes. But, after working with Apple tech support, and
    doing what they called an 'archival reinstall of the Apple OS, I'm
    still having this problem with not getting Flash audio in the
    browers.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
