Pop ups don't always work correctly

I am having problems with pop ups on some sites. I do not have pop ups blocked and I do have javascript enabled. I am using Firefox 6.0.2 on Windows XP 32-bit (I first noticed the problem with an older version of Firefox but upgrading didn't help).
To see an example of the problem, visit one of the StackExchange sites eg Stackoverflow.com (you might need to create an account or log in with Open ID). If you click on a question you should see some options underneath the question text:
link|edit|close|flag
(You may not see edit or close if you are a new user as I think these require some "reputation" to be enabled).
Clicking on "close" or "flag" is supposed to pop up a dialog asking for the close / flag reason to be selected from radio buttons. This works fine for me in Chrome or if I start Firefox in Safe Mode, but not if I start Firefox normally (even if I disable all plug ins and extensions manually).
I asked about this on Meta Stack Overflow (my question is here: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/106405/close-link-doesnt-work-for-me ) but they were unable to help beyond "it's probably one of your browser settings". I've looked through all the settings under Tools -> Options and can't see anything odd.
I actually have a similar issue on an internal work web server which displays pop ups OK but they have no text in them. I can't point you at this as it's inside our firewall but I am hopeful that the resolution to the first issue will also resolve the second :-)

I have now solved this issue.
I had a "userContent.css" file in %APP_DATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\y06a2da6.default\chrome\userContent.css
which contained some pop up blocking code for iframes incorporating various strings such as "/ad", "/banner", "/splash" etc.
It looks as though the "close" dialog on StackOverflow was somehow getting caught in this. I've removed the userContent.css file and it now all works fine.

  • Table pop-ups don't work in iWork Pages, any ideas?

    Pop ups in Numbers tables work when transferred to Pages on the Mac but don't appear to work in iWork pages On the iphone and iPad. I produce approximately 20 reports a week in Pages. Not sure if I'm missing something, or this feature just doesn't exist yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • N95 screen lights don't always work

    Hi guys just got my nokia replacement but the screen lights don't always work. They work sometimes then go off. Any ideas?
    Its not who i am underneath. But what i do that defines me.
    You are here for a reason Superman.
    "Come to me son of Jor-EL. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD"

    When you say it doesn't always work, are there certain steps you can reproduce to make it work (or not as the case may be ?)
    The only thing I can suggest is formatting your N95 by using the *#7370# code and NOT restoring any backup and seeing if the problem still happens - if it does you have a hardware fault and you should approach your local Nokia Service Centre.
    So far from the v12 firmware thread I don't think anyone has reported the backlight not working as a known problem.

  • Widgets don't always work - help please!

    When I open dashboard, all of my widgets appear, however, some of them don't always work. For example, I have two weather widgets for two different cities - sometimes they both show the forecast, sometimes only one, sometimes neither. Furthermore, if I remove the widget and then re-add it, it will then successfully show the forecast. If I click the little "i" and resubmit the city, it still fails. I must reload the widget for it to work. The same goes for my ESPN widgets. Sometimes they retrieve scores, and other times they are "unable," but work just fine if I close them and reopen them. Some more widgets I have problems with occasionally are the ski report, stock report, as well as my family guy quote widget. It really seems rather random when they will and won't work. How can I fix this?
    i tried repairing disk permission as well as deleting the widget files in the library/preferences folder, but the same problem still occurs.

    Hi Michael, have you tried navigating to ~(yourhome)/Library/Preferences and deleting the "widget-com.apple.widget.worldclock.plist" and others you are experiencing issues with? Log out and back, in or restart, then relaunch widgets and test.

  • Glossary tab doesn't display and Glossary pop ups don't work

    TCS 3.5 (FrameMaker 10, RoboHelp HTML, version 9)
    Windows XP version 5.1 sp3
    Internet Explorer 8.0
    My apologizes if this should be in a different forum.  Also, from searching I have found that the problem is usually that the DLL has not been loaded -- I have done that. So I am at a loss. Thanks in advance for your help!
    Problem: My .chm output does not have a Glossary tab and the Glossary text pop-ups in my topics do not work.
    Background: Since I am new to TCS 3.5 I'm going to give my entire process. Quite frankly I'm not even sure if my entire process is correct.
    Steps:
    Before I began: I loaded the HHActiveX.dll. Here's the proof:
    Create a blank project.
    Import master page (File > Import > Master Page).
    Load project settings (File > Project Settings > Import).
    Link FrameMaker Book (File > Link > FrameMaker Document)
    Configure Properties (Right-click the book file in RH and click Properties).
    In Properties, select Convert FrameMaker Table of Contents and give a name.
    In Properties, select Convert Glossary and give a name.
    In Project Manager pod, right-click the Glossary topic (System Management GLO) and click Set as Default.
    Update Project (File > Update > Update All).
    Run Glossary Hotspot Wizard (when running wizard, select the glossary topic that was set as default in step 8)
    Edit the UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx script (change the GlossaryName variable to the Glossary topic created in step 8 and change the GlossaryStyle variable to TextPopUp)
    Run Update Marked Glossary Terms script (In Script Explorer pod, right-click the UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx script and click Run).
    Run graphicinreferencepages.jsx script (this inserts my note graphics from FM reference pages)
    Configure Microsoft HTML Help layout.  Here's the properties file:
    16. In the properties file I selected the Glossary topic that I had set as my default in step 8.
    17. Click Save and generate.
    Result: In the .chm file (and in View Selected Item in RH) when I click a glossary term in a topic, I get "This program cannot display the webpage". Also, the Glossary tab is not displayed.

    Welcome to our community, Linda
    In RoboHelp, if you open the Glossary pod (View > Pods > Glossary > Select Glossary) do you see terms and definitions listed there?
    If not, that would explain it as the Glossary has no entries.
    Assuming it does have entries, you may simply need to enable the tab by clicking View > Pods > Project Set-up. Expanding the Windows section in the pod and double-clicking your CHM window.
    A CHM window looks like this:
    If you don't see a CHM window, you will need to create one. If you do see a CHM window, double-click it. Then ensure the Glossary is enabled.

  • How do i get keychain off my computer!?!?! Ive tried absolutely everything, keychain won't reset itself. Ive done everything anyone has suggested in apple support. Keep getting pop ups, mail won't work any more, i can't do ANYTHING.

    Every time i log into my computer, i get bombarded with pop ups asking me for numerous passwords, i enter the CORRECT ones in for my email accounts and they keep coming up, i cant do anything to get this off. Keychains suck i dont know why anyone would have made these.
    I go to the keychain preferences in finder and i try to unlock the local items keychain but it wont because i dont know the password, ive tried any password it could possibly be and it wont go through. I also cant reset it becasue it says "invalid aegument" every time i try to do that in First Aid.
    Everything anyone has said to do wont help. I cant even get my mail accounts to come online but they still work in my phone. I even downloaded the newest version 10.9 or whatever and it doesnt work. My mail accounts are all screwed up, so is icloud, and messages app i cant even use it. ive restarted my computer a million times so dont suggest that either.
    Oh and for those of you who are going to tell me to go to /library/keychain or anything like that, my computer says that the file or folder doestn exist.

    Please follow the directions in this support article. If there's no change, see below.
    Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to keep or delete the keychain items. Choose to delete and confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.

  • Images inside pop-ups in CHM not displaying correctly

    I am generating a CHM using RoboHelp 10 on a Windows XP machine.
    I have a few pop-ups in some topics. These pop-ups contain screen shots. After generating the CHM, when I click the pop-ups to view the screen shots, they are not displayed correctly. That is, half of the image does not appear and there are no horizontal scroll bars either to scroll. This happens for pop-ups that appear on the left side of a topic. The images inside pop-ups that appear to the right side of a topic appear fine when clicked.
    The help file was originally created using RH 7. I upgraded the source files to RH 10 successfully and there were no errors during the upgradation.
    I even tried generating the CHM on other systems with RH10 and the same system configuration as mine but ended up with the same results. I assume there is some compatibility issue maybe between RH 7 and RH10.
    Looking forward to any helpful insights here as this is pretty urgent at the moment for me to resolve the aforementioned issue at the earliest.

    Hi Rick,
    Thank you for the response. Alas, updating the DHTML effects doesn't help. In the project that am working, I have used hyperlinks that are marked to be displayed as auto-sizing pop-ups.
    I also tried editing the eHlpDhtm.js file as mentioned in the thread here, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1297423#expires_in=86399993&token_type=bearer&access_token =eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dSI6I…. But that was of no avail either.
    Do you have any other insights here?
    Regards,

  • Links Don't Always Work!

    When I send a link in an email, it doesn't always work properly
    when the recipient clicks it.
    9 times out of 10 they get a "Page Not Found" error report.
    yet the address in the link is good and works if pasted into
    the browser address window, the odd link does get through
    and works properly, but that may be only one in twenty.
    I have sent myself many test messages including to Gmail and
    the results are the same, but if I send the message from Gmail,
    all links work as the should.
    I contacted BT Help Desk in chat and got somebody in India who
    after about 20 minutes gave up and reported a BroadBand problem
    reported by me, but I have heard no more in almost two weeks.
    I have run many AV Scans using different programmes all come up
    clean, but the problem is still there.
    I am using BT/Yahoo on an machine running XP Pro which was fully
    up to date when the support finished.
    Has anybody else had this problem, if so, is there a fix inplace?
    Thank you for any help you can give me.
    Regards.

  • Javascript pop-ups don't open, neither does the Add-ons field. Connected?

    After reset or re-install, I can access Tools > Add-ons once. Then it will not open again. When clicking it or using command (Ctrl+Shift+A), nothing happens - no message, no symbols in address field, nothing.
    Also, web pages with Java pop-ups (it says "javascript:popup_imp..." when I try to use them) do not work, like the web interface of a mail service, where New Message or Reply normally opens in new tab.
    Are these issues related?
    May installed plug-ins be involved?
    What can be done?
    Thankful for any support!
    /m

    Found the culprit!.
    When disabling an add-on for grabbing material into TreeDBNotes - Add to TreeDBNotes 1.0 - the rest started working fine.
    The TreeDBNotes is a great word processor / database storage, that deserves more users and upgrades!

  • Subclips inconsistent behavior; not always working correctly in Premiere Pro CC

    I load a clip into the Source panel.  I set in and out points and then CTRL + U to create a subclip.  I have "Restrict Trim to subclip boundaries" turned off.  (Thank you Adobe, I've been waiting for "soft" subclips forEVER!)  The new subclip appears in my Project panel with the correct name and duration (as well as a white audio icon to indicate that it has not yet been used in my project).  Now, I drag that subclip into my sequence.  But the entire clip (a 5 minute interview), from which the subclip was derived, is loaded onto the timeline.
    This has been working correctly for the last hour, and now it has stopped working.  It appears that for the moment, subclipping is dead to me. 
    Help?!

    Thanks for that, Mark.
    I've done a little more testing, and the problem seems to be related to merged clips where (for me) the audio is longer than the video.
    Here's a screenshot of some testing I did:
    Let me talk you through the project browser:
    - At the top there are the source video and audio
    - I then made bins for a trimmed sequence version and an untrimmed sequence (what I mean by trimmed is that the audio was chopped down to the same duration as the video, after syncing)
    - I did the syncing on both manually. For the untrimmed clip, the audio leads the video by 1:29:04.
    - I then made merges of both
    - I then made subclips of both
    Remarks:
    1) The trimmed versions seem to work fine, though I haven't done serious testing. At least the media start and end make sense.
    2) The untrimmed merge "Merge (untrimmed)" is showing a Media Start of 23:57:04:10, which is just wrong. First of all this is a 'negative' time number (C++ signed/unsigned int math coding error?), secondly, it doesn't seem to match anything because it is an offset of -2:55:14, when the video offset is +1:29:04.
    3) When I open "Untrimmed.Subclip001" (as shown in the Source window) it shows a start time of "23:57:04:10" (the very beginning of the "Merge (untrimmed)" clip) instead of "23:58:33:14" which is where I'd set the in point for the subclip (and is shown in the Media Start column). What plays back is, indeed, the very beginning of the untrimmed clip. This is also the case with "Untrimmed.Subclip002" which had an In point set at 6:00:00.
    4) The Subclip Start times shown are totally broken. I really have no idea where it is getting those numbers from. On the other hand, the End times seem to be ok (if you again ignore the fact that I have an end time of "23+ hours" on a clip that is 1 hour long.
    5) The Audio In and Out Points shown don't make any sense to me. They're all just a little bit off the other numbers that are shown.
    Lastly, the source video is AVCHD 1080p24 from a Panasonic GH2 and the audio is 48kHz 24-bit mono from a Zoom H4n
    I hope this helps with your diagnosis.
    Looking forward to your feedback.

  • Ribbon controls don't always work in document library - SP2013

    Sometimes the Ribbon controls are greyed out in my document libraries, when you press the buttons, nothing happens.  This doesn't always happen though....sometimes the buttons work just fine.  Other times I get "This control is currently disabled". 
    Also, the edit menu doesn't work right either, sometimes (again not always) the second set of " ... " in the edit menu doesn't work, you press the button and nothing happens.  
    Usually if I close IE and go back into the site, everything works fine for a little while then it starts happening again.
    The "New Document", "Upload Document" and "New Folder" buttons seem to ALWAYS work in the libraries.
    I have full control of the site and library, and this happens for multiple users, on multiple libraries and multiple site collections, not just one.
    I was assuming it's an IE or javascript issue but the exact same thing happens in Chrome and Firefox.
    I'm using IE 10 and Windows 7, SharePoint 2013, Office 2013.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    From your description, the ribbon sometimes is not available until restarting browser. Does refreshing the page help to improve the situation?
    Please ensure there is no networking latency in the environment, and requirements are met per:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(v=office.15).aspx
    Please add SharePoint site to compatibility view in IE.
    Did you make customization to .aspx page that might cause the issue?

  • Setting aspect ratio to landscape doesnt always work correctly.

    I am building an app for both Android and iOS... I am testing on an iPad2 and a Nexus tablet (for iOS and android). 
    In my -app.xml, I have  <aspectRatio>ANY</aspectRatio> and <autoOrients>true</autoOrients.
    I allow the app to auto-orient to any position. There is an exception... 1 part of my app I need to be "LANDSCAPE" only, and then when leaving that part I want to resume the "ANY"
    Depending on the current orientation, telling the app to "stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE)" yield different results.
    When my apps orientation is "default" or "upsideDown", it works correctly. (basically its going from portrait to landscape)
    When my apps orientation is "rotatedRight", it works correctly (even though the "rotateRight" state is already landscape).
    When my apps orientation is "rotatedLeft", it does NOT work correctly. It does indeed make the app landscape (even though its already landscape), but it forces the app to do a 180 flip, and my content is upside down.
    Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I have a feeling this will get no replies and fade away into the interwebs

    I found my own answer!!!! apparently even though I am using AIR 3.6, I still needed to include a compiler argument...
    -swf-version=18
    without this, not only does the landscape not behave correctly, sometimes calling the "stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.ANY)" will throw an error.

  • Facebook Pop-Ups Don't Work?!?!

    Hi All...
    When I use Facebook and someone posts something new I get a little pop-up window in the upper right hand corner of my screen.  The pop-up has two buttons...  "Close" and "Show".  The "Close" button works fine and closes the pop-up window.  But the "Show" button does absolutely nothing.  I click on it and "Show" and the pop-up just disappears just as if I clicked the "Close" button.
    I could have swore before when I clicked on "Show" it would take my Safari browser to the location in Facebook to where the pop-up was referencing.  But now it doesn't do anything.
    Anyone else notice this?  Is Apple releasing not fully tested software.  There is a lot of things I just don't like about the recent releases...  iTunes 11 is one of them.  Maybe it's time to switch to a windows computer and save a TON of money in the process.
    Any info is appreciated.  Thanks!

  • Links in signature don't always work

    Hello all, new to the discussion boards. I am having trouble with my email signature's hyperlinks. At times when I am replying to an email, the links in my signature don't appear as links. When I compose email, they always look the same and work the same. It only seems to happen on replies, and not every time. Is there any reason why this is? Thanks!

    I typed the email address in just as it is, i.e [email protected]
    Hmm …I just typed in mine and it worked flawlessly.
    As for creating a graphic signature, there is a way to do that. Take a look at this topic <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7492503&#7492503>; be sure to read the whole thing, because there are some twists and turns in getting it to work.

  • Link's don't always work

    Website address: www.referralproswc.com
    On the member's toolbox page I have links to download pdf files. They were all done exactly the same, but only one works. I've checked and rechecked - can't find the problem. Any ideas? "Membership Guidelines" is the only one that works. . . .

    -> The exact program below sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
    Works every time for me. That is pressing "e" work exits the JVM every time.
    However, I did notice that your KeyListener never works for me. (adding a System.out.println(...) statement to you methods is more useful for degugging then setting a variable to 0).
    The suggestion by Petes1234 above does fix this problem for me.
    -> with key bindings how do I know when a key is released.
    Read the KeyStroke API. It shows you have to differentiate between a "pressed" and "released" key stroke. So you can have one action for pressed and a separate action for released.
    You don't need to enable events, they are enabled by default.
