Problem with window.close() and print preview in IE

Hi all,
In IE, when window.close() or self.close() is executed, the window is closing perfectly. But when after opening a print preview window from file menu in IE and after closing the print preview with [X] button, then the window.close() is not working. Is there any solution to close the window even after closing the print preview window? here is the sample code.
1) Close.htm
<HTML>
<TITLE>TEST</TITLE>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function CloseMe()
window.close();
//self.close();
</SCRIPT>
<INPUT TYPE="button" ONCLICK="CloseMe()" VALUE="Close Me">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Thanks,

Why'd you start a new thread once you got an answer on the thread linked above ( and even acknowledged it ) about the fact a that it was not a Java query?Because last time it was a JSP forum, which is not JavaScript obviously, but this is a Java forum, and the designers, obviously, simply neglected to include Script in the name, of course. ;-):D Why, oh, why did they have to call it JavaScript! (And before someone starts, that was a rhetorical question!)

Problem with window.close and window.open

I am having two suspected Actionscript problems which only seem to be happening with Flash player 9 and later.
BACKGROUND:
I have a client who needs browser-launched swf files to play from a CD-ROM (I do not want to use the Flash projector). These files were created a few years ago using Actionscript 1 & 2 code and everything has worked perfectly until now.
Here is the setup:
First, an autorun file on the root of the CD runs and writes a 'trust file' to the 'Macromed' directory. The autorun next launches 'index.htm' which is simply an html page containing a series of links (topic1.htm; topic2.htm; and so on). Next, let's assume the student clicks the 'topic1.htm' link from the 'index.htm' page. The 'topic1.htm' link launches a web page (also located on the CD) which contains and displays 'topic1.swf'. So far, everything works fine.
Here is where the two problems happen.
Problem 1:
I have an 'Exit' button within each swf (remember each swf is contained inside an html page). The 'Exit' button has always worked properly, but suddenly does not work in Flash player 9. I am using the following Actionscript 2 code on the 'Exit' button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
The 'Exit' button has always worked using this code (and still works in Flash player 8 and lower). However, it does nothing when played using Flash player 9.
Problem 2:
There are links to html popup windows within the 'topic1.swf' file (remember 'topic1.swf' is contained inside 'topic1.htm'). Each popup window contains a swf file that is used to present a demonstration. When the student clicks the 'demo1.htm' link from 'topic1.swf', an html popup window SHOULD load and display 'demo1.swf' inside the 'demo1.htm' window. The main ('topic1.htm') window stays open so that the student can return to the topic after completing the demo. This has always worked properly until Flash player 9. Here is the Actionscript 2 code
which I am using on the button inside 'topic1.swf' to launch 'demo1.htm':
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:launchWin2('webpage2.html');");
ADDITIONAL INFO:
'topic1.htm' contains the following code which is used to support the Actionscript code listed under 'Problem 2' above.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am wondering if the problem has to do with a need to use ONLY Actionscript 3 code from Flash player 9 onwards.
Thanks!
Terry

Hi has anyone had a problem with windows 7n and Itunes...My Itunes was working now wont open says files missing reinstall...which I have done several times also other programs that were working now have error message your side by side configuration isnt correct any ideas!!!

Ratpoison: Problems with windows autoscaling and conky statusbar

Hi all!
I am newbie with ratpoison and yesterday made fresh installation. Everyting else did well expect window autoscaling and conky + dzen2 statusbar.
What I did:
I followed those steps from archwiki for setting up dzen: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dzen
my .conkyrc looks like a same as in the wiki:
background no

total_run_times 0
use_spacer none
TEXT
^fg(\#ff0000)${loadavg 1 2 3} ^fg()${time %a %b %d %I:%M%P}
my .xinitrc looks like:
#!/bin/bash
FG='#aaaaaa'

FONT='-*-terminus-*-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'

So I did 16 pixels hole for the conky statusbar. Still I cannot see anything on the top of screen. (Just empty hole)
Problem with windows autoscaling is that it doesn't fullfill whole screen. I can also see two additional small holes at the bottom and right side of screen (eventhought I didn't made those by the config). Strange isn't it?
I put my print screen, hope it tells more about the problem:
What I should to do text? Edit some files, but I dunno which one and how?
I appreciate your help.
Cheers!

About the small holes, see "Why is there a small gap between my terminal and the edge of the screen?" in the ratpoison FAQ.
I'm not sure about your dzen/conky problem, maybe you need to "unmanage" its window? See the ratpoison documentation.
That fixed autoscaling issue. Thx a lot!
Any ideas, what is wrong with dzen+conky bar? I quickly read ratpoison manual and didn't find any help for this problem.

Hotsync problem with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007

Hello,
I try to make contact between my Palm Tungsten E2 and outlook 2007 on my laptop with Windows 7 for synchronizing.Before this, I worked on this laptop with Windows Vista and also Outlook 2007.I installed the standard software and after that the update for outlook 2007 (palmoutlook2007conduits.zip (7.2MB)).In Vista this was working well, but not in Windows 7.I can see in the soft ware part that palmoutlook2007conduits is installed, but the in the log book I still have the same errors :
- Not Synchronized
Outlook Contacts synchronization failed
When I go to the settings, also there is the same error : “This version of Outlook is not supported by the Outlook Conduit application. Supported outlook versions are Outlook 98, 200, XP(2002) and 2003.”. It looks like the upgrade with palmoutlook2007conduits have no effect in Windows 7.
I hope someone have a solutions for this problem.

Problems with Windows VISTA and WPA-2

Hi Guys,
I am using a Linksys router supporting draft-N; it seems that after some time of usage; Windows Vista stop being able to connect to Linksys using a WPA-2 PSK.
Everytime you search for the SSID and attempt to connect, the ''network is taking too long to connect''' and Windows always informs the user that ''limited or no connectivity'' even though the signal strength is excellent.
Is that a common problem in Windows Visa (I am using Home Edition)?

Yes thats the basica command problem with Windows Vista while connecting to the Wireless Network.... In this you can need to update your Windows Vista OS with all the Latest Patches and the Service Pack to improve more stability on your Vista Computer to get connected to the Wireless Network..

Boot Camp problems with Windows 7, and a new Macbook Pro

When I try to install Windows 7, when the process is almost complete and Windows is finalizing all settings, the system reboots then gets stuck at the white/gray bootscreen, and then tries to boot from disk, only to repeat the bootscreen cycle indefinitely. How do I fix this? Thank you very much.

My MAC BOOK is 13 inch, first generation of unibody that I bought when it first came out last November, 2009. It seems that the latest boot camp 3.1 does not support windows7 64 bits on my mac book model. I followed Apple instruction to upgrade boot camp 3.0 when running XP 32 bits. And I then upgrade my XP 32 bits to 64 bit Windows 7. The upgrade/installation was successful but I encountered a lot of problems with the mouse and sound.
1. No sound with my new Windows 7 64 bits.
2. I managed to make Windows 7 64 bit recognize my apple mighty mouse. But the mouse does not funtion normal as expected. It does not work with swiping and scrolling.
3. I could not re-install boot camp 3.0 from windows.old nor from the Mac OS X installation disk. When I tried to run setup.exe from the MAC OS X snow leopard, I got the error "Boot camp x64 is unsupported for this model"
I am really disappointed that boot camp 3.1 is not universally supported for all mac book or mac book pro.
I need help to re-install boot camp for my Windows 7? I bought the upgrade through education upgrade program and I selected to get 64 bit version so I do not want to rollback the installation to 32 bit.
Please help.

Problems with windows update and fingerprint

HI
My windows was out of date and in the coarse of trying to update it, the system runned into a problem and the only way i could get back my information was to let the system settings go back to its default settings. Following that, i find it difficult to download new updates and the fingerprint is also not working any more. Please what should i do ?

Hi @CLEPRIS ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome.It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP-ENVY m6 Notebook and issues with Windows Updates and the Fingerprint reader software. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that might need updating on your system.
It shows me that there seems to be interference with Software task, usually your virus protection.
You might have to disable this software and then run the Windows update.
I would suggest to uninstall HP SimplePass and reinstalled the latest version for Windows 8.1.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I hope this fixes things up for you.
Thanks.

Problems using window.close() and setting fields

Hi,
I have two problems:
First one is:
I created a simple JSP with 'Save' and 'Exit' Buttons. In the Exit button on click event I invoked a function closeWindow, which calls teh window.close(). But on clicking Exit, the window does not close. Can anyone please tell me why.
Second one is:
The JSP also needs to get loaded with some values in the Textfields. Theses values are extracted from a text field using a Java class. I am able to see that these values are extracted from the text file and are loaded into Java vars, but when I am trying to set this value into a text field, it is NOT getting set.
(filePathDetails is the instance of the class that extracts the text values)
The entire code is posted below:

Thanks in advance.

Try the following..
For problem 1:
Use window.close() instead of window.closeWindow().
For the second problem
don't call the function setPaths() at onload. Rather
call the function after the page is loaded. You can
try like this.
If it doesn't work then check whether the browser is
giving any JavaScript error message.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
setPaths() ;
     function setPaths(){
     alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
document.pathDetails.element[0].value =
= <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
          alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
          with(document.pathDetails){
textAncPath1.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
textAncPath2.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath2 %>;
textArchivePath.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.archiveDirPath %>;
textLogPath.value = <%=filePathDetails.logFilePath
ath %>;
     function closeWindow(){
          window.closeWindow();
</SCRIPT>Hi,
Actually I did try window.close(), but I still am not able to close the current window.
And as for the problem of setting up the field values, sorry the given solution doesnt seem to work. :-(..
I have pasted the entire code, I dont know where teh flaw is. Please review the same and let me know.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Problems with spots colors and printing

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a business card for a client. The design calls for white text with an inner shadow to sit above a bar with a gradient. One of the colors in the gradient is reflex blue. When I export the file to a pdf and try to print it the text box fills with white and the graident bar changes colors and a portion of it becomes solid. I can fix the problem by printing the pdf as an image or removing the reflex blue and substituing it for another dark blue. However there really isn't a close match in cymk to Reflex Blue C. Is there a way I could continue using reflex blue ( incidentally that is one of the company colors) without these short of issues? If it helps I am using Indesign cs5, Acrobat X, Mac OS 10.6.8, using Creo Rip Software and Printing on a Xerox 700 digital press.

I tried putting the text on another layer but it didn't change anything. The only solution that has worked so far is changing the spot color, reflex blue, to a cmyk color. Here is a screen shot of the problem and some of my export options
Hopfully that helps. In a realted issue, is there a way of lowering the transperancy of a graphic that uses spot colors without changing the color? Once again the problem is reflex blue. When I lower the transparacy the color turns purplish. Thanks for the help

bring your memory rate down to match the CPU's FSB and then try installing Windows. And Don't bother with multipliers for now leave it on AUTO fro the CPU.

Problems with Windows Vista and Speedster 945GT?

Hi!
I've been trying to install Windows Vista on my Speedster 945GT-based system for some time now, but I am unable to get it to run stable.
It hangs on random occasions when installing and if one is lucky it's gets thru the install but then it hangs at the desktop in Vista.
I'm using the latest BIOS version out (1.2) and a Core2Duo T7600 CPU.
I have even tried other CPU's to rule out CPU error with the same results. Same goes with different sticks of memory.
Does anyone have a sollution to this problem?
Btw, it works fine when Windows XP is installed.
Best regards
Johan

I had similar problems with Vista 32-bit (Ultimate). I got the board with BIOS v1.0, while I also purchased a T7200 Dual 2 Core. This did not work at all. MSI Netherlands was kind enough to flash the BIOS for me with v1.2 so I could get things working. However, I was not too lucky with Vista. Could just get to the boot screen, but then it hung.
BIOS v1.3 did the trick. I have things working now, but the onboard video is a disaster. Windows Update installed new chipset drivers but this did not help. Intel Graphics drivers did also not improve things.
I started with an analog connection to my 1280x1024 Philips 170B2. Worked ok, but could not get the system working in a higher resolution than 1024x768 which is obviously not preferred. At that time, the DVI connector of my monitor was in use by another system, soon to be replaced by this one.
Instead of worrying about the resolution on the analog connection I thought it was time to hook my monitor up via DVI. And then things started to get even worse.
The POST is visible, you can see Windows starting but then there is a black screen. Windows is fully loading, I can hear through the speakers. I can even login, but still no screen.
So I went back to analog VGA and guess what - same issue with analog VGA now!
System works 'fine' in Safe Mode, but even the 640x480 boot option does not help.
My temp solution now is to use my 7600GS, but as the onboard video might be good enough for me (if it works), I would prefer to get things working.

Unknown device - ipod nano fine - problem with windows xp and usb root hub

Greetings all. I've seen this question come up over and over again and have been working on it following previous posts and posts on microsoft and hp sites for a couple of days now.
First off - the ipod nano is fine. Works on my son's computer well.
When I plug it into my 6 months new HP Pavilion laptop it says: 'found new hardware' and goes through the process of installing it, says it's been installed, but then shows 'unknown device'. In Device Manager it tells me there are no drivers installed, but when I try to follow the other instructions on this forum to update the drive to USB mass storage device (usbstor.inf), it tells me the best driver is installed and won't do it.
Many seem to have this problem with devices other than the iPod on Windows service pack 2 so I went to the Microsoft forums and they seem just as puzzled. I've updated all my Windows & HP software to the latest possible versions. The problem is definitely in the USB. Once, when I uninstalled the USB device and then rebooted the computer with my iPod still plugged into the port, it found my iPod, correctly identified it, and for a blissful moment I thought everything was fine! Then it reinstalled the USB drivers and made a comment to the effect that I should move the iPod to a USB 2.0 port for more effective operation and the iPod disappeared again.
I have 3 USB ports on my laptop, all are USB 2.0 and all 3 have the same problem.
I've tried all the stuff people have already said on here...does anyone have any NEW ideas? I'm hesitant to take it in for service because it seems to be a software problem that should be fixable.
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry about the long post.

This isn't a solution, but it's something I just tried and it may provide someone additional clues about's going on. I too think this is some sort of USB problem.
I have 6 USB ports. Two of them are USB 2.0. Since I applied the 03-23 update my computer hasn't recognized my nano at all. I would connect my nano and I couldn't get it to show up in My Computer, in iTunes, or on the far right side of the Start taskbar.
I just tried plugging my nano into the first USB port of my USB 2.0 pair and left the second 2.0 port empty. I then rebooted with the nano attached. Viola - I get a "Found New Hardware Apple iPod USB Device" message. My nano is now flashing "Do Not Disconnect." A small removeable storage icon with green arrow now shows on the far right side of the Start taskbar. If I click on it (like you're going to eject it) the note displayed says "Safely remove USB Mass Storage Device - Drive (F:)".
If I go into My Computer, "Removeable Disk (F:)" now shows there. However, if I try to follow Trevor's instructions in another post to "go into My Computer with iPod connected, right click it, wait till the right click menu comes up (could take a few minutes); click Format, . . ." I'm stuck. I do the right click, watch the hour glass and wait for the Format menu to come up but it never does. Eventually the hour glass just goes away. No message, no Format menu. The waiting hour glass just goes away.
My computer isn't as new as yours, but like you I am completely current on maintenance.
I'm going to keep trying . . . If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

I am running LabVIEW 8.0.1 in Windows XP SP3. For my main VI, I ran into a strange problem about 5 months ago. The front panel window - in both edit mode and run mode - stopped repainting itself on the right side which is most visible when you scroll up and down, but also visible with overlapping windows. Coincident with the repaint problem, both scrollbars look disabled with greyed-out arrows and no boxes in the bars that you can click and drag to scroll the window. The scrollbars still partially work if you hover the mouse over them and roll the mouse wheel but clicking and dragging doesn't work.
The front panel has lots of controls and indicators including tab-control containers and is larger in the horizontal and vertical directions so both scrollbars should be active. But I deleted all elements on the front panel and everything in the block diagram and the problem persists. So the problem is not directly related to some control/indicator display.
I saved the simple VI with this problem (using a wide text line and a tall rounded box to test), then created a new VI and copied the two elements to the new VI. This new VI does not have the repaint and scrollbar problem. The two VIs differ slightly in memory usage and in revision number (the bad one is revision 1785 and the good one is revision 3), but otherwise the two VIs are identical. I attached both VIs to this posting. When you first open the bad VI, you'll see the disabled scrollbars whereas the good VI has active scrollbars. To replicate the repaint problem, scroll the window up and down with your mouse wheel. If it's fine when you first open the VI, click on another window, then click back on the VI window and try the mouse wheel again. This clicking-away-and-back always causes the repaint problem for me. I tried the VIs on two different computers both running Windows XP SP3 and LabVIEW 8.0.1 with identical results.
Here's what I discovered from troubleshooting with the simple VIs:
* scrollbars always disabled
* repaint problem in main window for window widths larger then 680 pixels
* repaint problem in main window menu toolbar for widths larger than 646 pixels
* entire window becomes disabled for window widths larger than 1348 pixels
* can repaint window by minimizing and restoring, but only repaints that one time
* scrollbar boxes sometimes flicker into view but then disappear
* scroll left and right by hovering mouse over horizontal scrollbar and using mouse wheel
I found something similar on this forum (thread: Problem with front panel refresh) - it might be related to the CAR about the panel being offset internally. I don't have access to LabVIEW 8.5 or later and don't plan to upgrade - I haven't tried the trial version as that user did. I could try to copy and paste my entire block diagram to a new VI but the VI is so large I'm afraid something would break, plus I don't want this to happen again in a few months. The problem seemed to occur after a certain number of saves (or revision number). I save backup copies often and when the problem first happened, I was able to go back to a previous version, make the missing changes and save it with no problems, but this only delayed the problem and it came up later. So maybe it's the revision number. It didn't seem related to a particular addition or modification in the front panel or diagram.
The image attached shows the repaint and scrollbar problems in the bad VI.
This brings up a question I have - if this problem is a bug and was fixed in 8.5 and later, is there a way to apply bug fixes to earlier versions? Or do I have to pay for an upgrade to fix such bugs?
Solved!

Seems something got corrupted with this VI. Copy things over to a fresh VI and things should be OK.

Problem With Business Object and printing job

Hello,
We are encountering a problem with the application "Business Objects FINANCE", and we would need your help quickly.
In the application , itu2019s impossible to print Consolidated Subsidiaries nor the Securities Held. If we try so, the application freezes and we can't do anything but killing the application via the task manager.
Though, other states can be printed without problem.
We tried on several different PCs, and the problem occured equally on each one.
The version installed is 10.5, and we can do any tests that you think would be useful to diagnose problem.

In attachment youu2019ll find a screenshot of the event viewer from the server where the application is install.
Thanks in advance for your answer,

check the export parameters of the event triggering workflow.
If there is a problem, try instantiating the object in your wf based on the key.
Also check if the wf is able to import the data.
