Safari 2.0 zip code bug?

This is a problem I've started to notice on a bunch of webpages (including newegg.com) with Safari 2.0. Many times Safari will not let me enter my zip code into an HTML form field because it starts with a zero (like about half the zip codes in the U.S. northeast). Let us say my zip code is 02142 -- when I enter it in, Safair "autocorrects" it to "2142" after the control loses focus. Nothing seems to undo this, and I can't find any setting that fixes it. So the site I submit it to says, "Hey, that's not a valid zip code!" I've tried it with Firefox and Internet Explorer and neither seem to do this behavior (so I often have to leave whatever transaction I was trying to go through, open up Internet Explorer, and re-do the entire transaction -- all because Safari doesn't trust me to know what I want to type in).
The HTML code from newegg.com which is doing this: <input name="zipcode1" type="text" size="4" maxlength="5" value=""> So it's nothing in particular about the form coding that I can tell -- it looks like Safari is just assuming that because I'm typing in a number, I can't possibly want it to start with a zero. Which is just ridiculous in a large number of contexts.
Any way to turn this off? It is really getting irritating, and it's the sort of "application knowing what I want to do better than I do" idiocy which I think of being exclusively in the domain of Microsoft products. Which ironically don't seem to have this problem!
NOTE: I am not using an Autofill zip code. I am just trying to enter it in manually.

I can confirm this bug (isn't it irritating?). One solution is to use another browser; I've never had this problem in Firefox. Another would be to turn off AutoFill; even though you're not using an AutoFill entry, AutoFill seems to have this unfortunate effect on leading zeros entered manually.
Next time you run across a page that won't take your zip code, click on Safari/Report bugs to Apple and send a bug report. Maybe if enough of us on the East Coast complain, someone will fix it.

Zip code entry problem

On some websites there is a field requesting a 5 digit zip code. When I type the zip code into the field all 5 digits show--- when I tab to the next field, one of the zip code digits drops out (either first or last) and leaves only 4 digits. The information is returned as incorrect and asks (again) for a 5 digit zip code. What to do ???

I had this problem for a while using Safari to enter ZIP codes into some forms -- but only when the ZIP code started with (at least one) zero. The work-around was to use MS IE for Mac (which I hear is still available, just no longer supported) for those sites. It's probably worth trying FireFox, too.
I don't know whether the real problem is in Safari or in the web sites -- the same version of Safari worked on some sites but not others, so I suspect that the problem lies with the FORM definitions on the affected sites, in which case the real fix would be to convince the site designers to fix their forms.

Zip Code Lookup

Hi guys,
Ok, I've had a project dumped on me that is ridiculously
complicated given my level of ability. I've explained to them that
I am NOT the guy for this. They're in a real jam though, so while
they're trying to find someone else I told them I'd see what I can
do.
Basically, it's a political action page. You watch a short
flash video, then click a button to send email to the candidates
running to represent you. It's been built (kind of) using PHP by
someone else, but has so many bugs (and I don't know anything about
PHP) that I think my only hope is to try and re-write the whole
thing in Coldfusion (which I know the basics of).
Thankfully the mySQL database is already done and working. I
just need to build the pages. The real sticking point: on the "tell
a candidate" page, they want a user to fill out their street
address, click a button, and have the application automatically
find their full zipcode and then display a page listing the
candidates running to represent that district (this is limited to
one state, thank god).
I can handle the database-driven stuff to return email links
for their candidates (I think)... but how can I use Coldfusion to
find a person's full zipcode based on their street address?
Thanks for ANY ideas... the more dumbed-down the better!

It's no big deal, StearmanDriver. You already have a good
solution. Yahoo!
All you have to do is
get a
Yahoo App ID. You can then use it with, for example, the cfhttp
tag to get the zip code. The service is free, too.
Suppose your Yahoo App ID is
vmuNNhtDEr32Ms8pmwEyvoAdClQQabcploMMth2iY_GXMK456Mruav56P09iuQk7.BBFtC--.
(This is a fake ID I've just created to illustrate the process. But
it is similar to the one Yahoo will send you.) Suppose also that
you wished to know the zip code of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in
Commercial Street, Portland, Maine.
The result, cfhttp.FileContent, is a short XML document.
However, it gives you more bang for your buck
(see actual result below). It includes, besides the zip, the
latitude and longitude of the place.
To get the zip code, simply parse the XML. The complete code
is something like the one below.
actual result, cfhttp.fileContent:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<ResultSet xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="urn:yahoo:maps" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:yahoo:maps
http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/GeocodeResponse.xsd">
<Result precision="address">
<Latitude>43.657646</Latitude>
<Longitude>-70.250313</Longitude>
<Address>65 Commercial St</Address>
<City>Portland</City>
<State>ME</State>
<Zip>04101-4703</Zip>
<Country>US</Country>
</Result>

Zip Code Entry

Using Safari 1.3.1, whenever I type in my Zip Code (1----) in an address field, the "1" disappears prior to submission. This does not occur with Zip Codes beginning with "2" or higher. Any suggestions?

MuffinM:
Check this solution out from Byron in a previous forum - I tried it, and it works!
Big Apple Ikey
I was having this problem, too, but I think I just fixed it.
My ZIP is 19119. I had a ZIP+4 in the "My Card" information in Address Book and was having the same results: enter my 5-digit ZIP into a form and Safari lops off the first "1" leaving just "9119" and an unhappy form.
I removed the +4 information from "My Card," leaving just the 5-digit ZIP code. Forms now accept the full 5-digit ZIP with no lop-off.
I re-entered the +4 and the problem resumed. Took it out again, and the problem ceased.
Give this a try, folks. Let us all know if this works. Then write Apple, because it shouldn't work like that.

Address Book Not Importing Zip Codes

When importing a a tab-delimited txt file into Address book everthing comes through fine. Except. Address Book automatically removes the first number in the zip code if starts with a zero. Leaving a 4 digit zip that is invalid. So what should be 07712 ends up 7712. Which this may not be a bother if you are importing a few addresses. I had over 700 to import, which I had to go through one by one and correct. As I need the for mailings, that I print out on avery labels, in addition to the other contac info. I've read about people having problems in the auto fill in Safari not bringing in the zero from the users vcard.
Has anyone experience this problem? Has / is Apple addressing it? Answer. Not if your zip code starts with a zer0. Thanks.
Imac Mac OS X (10.4.1)

This is a common occurance when text files have been processed by spreadsheets. Unless you make special provisions to preserve them, leading zeros are normally stripped off of the data stored in cells.
It's not the Address Book import that's the problem - it's your source file.

Trying to set download apps...says it needs my credit card info...I put it in....but then it won't take it because it says I need to enter my zip code. I live in Canada and have a postal code, not a zip code. Help

I am trying to set up my new Iphone 4 and download apps. I made an Apple Id which is all good. But when I try and enter in my credit card info it keeps asking for my Zip code and state. I live in Canada not US. I changed the phone to Canadian but it still keeps asking for it and won't let me put in my right information which in turn won't let me download any apps. Can anyone help?

Postal & Zip codes are same. Just enter postal code without space. It will accept.

Is there a way of adding a zip code locator

I'm doing a website for a business with 6 locations and would like for the customer to be able to type in their zip code to find the closest store in their area.

Firefox will not allow me to change the zip code on the Walmart website.

When I follow a link to Walmart it automatically puts in an incorrect My Store location and zip code. I change it, close Firefox, re-open and try again. Same thing. It does not do that with other browsers. I have removed cookies several times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but nothing seems to work.

Details like this are stored in a cookie.
Try to "Remove Cookies" Walmart cookies and check that they are still gone after closing and restarting Firefox:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Also make sure to close all tabs with the Walmart site to prevent Firefox from storing them in the sessionstore.js file as part of session data.
It is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Deleting+cookies
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

No longer get a Signal. My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida

My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida, Just about the middle of the map, just below Interstate 10. I have been with Verizon since it took a portion of ALLTEL, was with Alltel since they took over another company and was with that company when they took over one. I have not personally changed providers in at least 15 years or more. My problem now is that my signal strength has become almost nonexistent where I have always been all these years. It seems like the fall of 2013 I had good signal but it started dropping. I finally change from a Motorola Maxx (I think it was) and now my wife has a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I have the S4. The other 2 phones on our contract (grandkids) both Apple 4's have the same problem. My son and his wife, who live next door and with Verizon also have the same problem and timeline. It is like a tower(s) have been out of commission for a while. My phone roams at times while in the house. If I have my phone set to announce when it loses the network or regains the network, it became to irritating to have to hear it. At one point we could almost use our cell phones exclusively at home. Now we are bound to landlines. I've never had any problem with Verizon but have become quite upset during the last 6 months to the point of trying something different when our contract expires. We are no longer getting the service we were getting with earlier contracts. Please help. Tell us what we can do or what Verizon is going to do to check this out.

The signal is ever so slightly higher outside as would be expected, but still not high enough, often enough to be depended on. In fact it is more prone to roam when stepping out of the house than inside. I have to drive several miles Northwest (approximately 7 miles) towards the intersection of Interstate 10 and SR 71 in the panhandle of Florida, just south of the town, Marianna. When heading east on SR 286 from SR69, through the Ochessee area to I-10 and then heading east for about 10 miles from the Apalachicola River are several dropout areas of low to no signal, but since we're moving it is for a very brief period of time. Getting back to my house though, the service that I had as late as last summer, both inside and out, has significantly declined. Just based on my driving from my house, it seems that a tower North of me has dropped. You can find these roads on Google maps, in fact you can find them by zooming in on the Verizon Coverage map, find Tallahassee in North Florida and follow Interstate 10 to the west for about 50 miles. The problem seems to be from SR 286 to SR 69 then to SR71. Along a stretch about 17 miles south of Interstate 10 in between these 3 intersections is where the problem seem most prevalent.
I'm not sure what you meant by follow and send a private message. The only option I see for me is "Reply". Please excuse my ignorance.

Retrieve city and state from zip code that is entered by user

I am trying to use AJAX to retrieve city and state from a table based on a zip code that is entered by the user. Two are text fields (zip code and city) and one is a SELECT field (state).
1. I defined an application item called TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM.
2. I defined an application process called SET_CITY_STATE as follows:
    a. Process point: on demand
    b. type: anonymous block
    c. process text:
<pre>
DECLARE
v_city VARCHAR2 (100);
v_state VARCHAR2 (2);
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT city, state
FROM ZIP
WHERE zip = v ('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM');
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_city := c.city;
v_state := c.state;
END LOOP;
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_CO_CITY',v_city);
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_CO_STATE',v_state);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_CITY','Unknown city');
apex_util.set_session_state('P2_STATE',null);
END;
</pre>
3. Javascript is defined in the region header:
<pre>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
</pre>
4. In the HTML Form Element Attributes of the P2_CO_ZIP text item: onchange="pull_city_state(this.value)";
The city and state are not being populated. I checked the select statement and it is retreiving the city and state in SQL WORKSHOP > SQL COMMANDS.
I would like to use it for the mailing address as well, so I would need to make the application process / javascript a bit more generic to be used in two places.
I placed the application on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: RGWORK
Application: Online Certification Application (28022)
Can someone assists, please.
Thank you,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Try using XML instead of session state -
Change the application on demand process with the following script -
>
DECLARE
v_city VARCHAR2 (100);
v_state VARCHAR2 (2);
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT city, state
FROM ZIP
WHERE zip = v ('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM');
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_city := c.city;
v_state := c.state;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_CO_CITY">' || v_city || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_CO_STATE">' || v_state || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_CITY">' || 'Unknown city' || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="P2_STATE">' || '' || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;
>
in your javascript make sure you typing the application process name correctly as it is case sensitive.
Hope this helps,

Values not showing up for 3 digit zip code maps of states

I've been tinkering with an app that displays the US, with a query that shows how many folks we have in each state. The link takes you to a page that displays the state/zip code style map. On the map of the US, I can see the label and the value from the query for all states. But in the state map, all that shows up are the labels. I have the map set to show values, but they won't display.
I'm using APEX 4.0.1 in a 10.2.0.4 database running on Windows.
Any thoughts?

Hi mjblake,
The Map Region columns (i.e. REGION_NAME, REGION_ID, etc) can vary for each Map source .amap file. So it's definitely worth referencing the AnyChart Map Reference Information when you're adding your map series query, to ensure that your query is referencing data that's actually contained in your chosen .amap file.
By default, the wizard will set the "Map Region Column" to REGION_NAME, as this the default AnyChart column. However, some maps, like the US State Zipcode maps, don't actually have a REGION_NAME column in their data, which is why you would need to update the "Map Region Column" on the Map Attributes page to your chosen column e.g. REGION_ID. In the case of the US State Zipcode maps, the available columns are REGION_ID, CENTROID_X and CENTROID_Y, as shown in this example: http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/map_reference/United-States-of-America-3-digit-ZIP-Code-Maps-for-All-50-States-Alabama-Flash-Map.html?fromtree. You may not be aware of this, but when stepping through the Create Map wizard, on the 'Query' page, there's a Show/Hide region called "Map Region Information", which displays the AnyChart information associated with your selected map.

Hilary

Apple ID billing information continually adds additional digits to my zip code. This causes my credit card to be invalid, how do I fix this?

As the title says, when I try to update my billing information the software adds additional digits to my zip code. This is all fine and dandy, it matches to where I live. But my bank only uses the standard five digits and when it adds the additional digits they will not match up correctly despite the first five being matched. This causes an endless and stupidly frustrating cycle that I cannot solve. I tried to find a phone number to call and sort this out but of course that doesn't exist. Any help would be great.

Hi ...
Might be something here > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
And you can explain the situation to Apple here > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
BTW, billing policy is the same for the iTunes and the Mac App Stores.

Having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online

having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online even if it wil be shipped within u.s. only?

To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:

Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue.

Segmentation on basis of Zip code

Hi,
i am trying to create segmentation using Zip code. iam creating a Z infoset by joining tables using base table BUT000 and field Post_code1 from table ADRC . infoset is created sucessfully but when i create profile & target group .it shows no bp with any filter.
Is this the only way to create segmentation on basis of Zip code.
any inputs will be help full.
Regards
Rajiv sharma

Hi Rajiv,
The ZIP code ( technical field:- POST_CODE1, Table:- ADDR2_DATA ) is basically a field of data type CHAR of size 10.
So in segmentation when you try to create a filter with Equal to say zip code 12345 it basically tries to compare the integer value 12345 with a character 12345 and thus this does not give exact result.
Did u try creating filer with "Contains Pattern". and see if it works.

FI-AP (vendor master group, Zip code required field)

Hello SAP Guru's,
I am working on Vendor master data groups and my client asked me to make the zip code field mandatory. When i go to "define account groups with screen layout- vendor name-general data- address, i don't see a tab for Zip code to make it a required field. However, i checked Postal code, city field and make it into a required field. Is zip code = Postal code, city? or do i have to contact other programmers so they can design this functionality in SAP?

Dear,
yes, I also confirm You that the Zip code is the Postal code.
So please go to IMG --> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
and for Your Account Group do the following setting:
double click on General data --> double click on Address
and define as Required entry the field Postal code, city technical names:
City LFA1-ORT01
Postal Code LFA1-PSTLZ
I hope this helps You.
