Safari 8. Tab Menu & Navigation Bar

Safari 8 no longer displays the web address of the page being viewed this is extremely annoying ! Its a pain on an iPhone using iOS but ridiculous on a Mac !
Also, we now have a silly arrangement for the tabs. In the previous version of safari it was clear if there were more tabs open than displayed as a little list button appeared on the far right of the tab bar, click that & a list of all open tabs not currently displayed would appear. Simple, neat & tidy.
Now the penultimate 3 tabs reduce in size - not the lat one because that would be too obvious. So it is not clear at a glance what additional tabs, if any, are open. This is made even less obvious by the fonts, font size, colour & fine boarders being employed by Apple in some sort of stealth mission to make applications as difficult to use as possible. Oh, it doesn't end there though, oh no ! If you want to select one of the hidden tabs you have two choices.
1. Slide the tab bar which exposes the hidden tabs hiding the previously exposed list - making it a real pain for anyone switching between tabs.
2. Use the gimmicky tab view (used to be recents - which didn't really have much point).
So the questions are:
1. How can I have the web address of the page I'm viewing displayed (at all times) in the navigation bar, as thats what it's for guys !
2. How can I have a simple drop down list of open tabs as per the previous version of Safari & get rid of the utterly pointless tab view & recents views which only serve to waste space & processor cycles ? I want to actually get some work done, I'm intelligent enough to be able to select what I want from a list of items, I really don't need pretty pictures presented 6 at a time.

It's not in General, but in Advanced on my computer. Four-finger swipe doesn't work on my MBP. Neither does Fn-F10. I did set it to swap Fn-F10 with F10, but F10 doesn't work either.
I used the menu you got by clicking the little icon at top, right corner to reveal all hidden tabs. Now I can't figure out how to access the hidden tabs efficiently. What a pain. The only good part about this is that it will encourage me to close tabs I don't actively use.

Tab Style Navigation Bar for Pages in Page group

Hi
Is there a way to create a tab style navigation bar for a group of pages that will appear at the top of a page?
Regards
Harry

You might try using Language_Switcher Language Switcher while working on the English page. That might allow you to create the navbar in English.
Otherwise you could use a text based navbar like in this demo page: Text Based Navbar

How to remove the tabs based navigation bar?

I am trying out my hand in portal and i have successfully deployed a sample portal(
Hot deploy didnt work by the way!). I have a few pages say home, account, messages
in the portal. Now, what I want is when I click a link on account page, the top
tab based navigation bar should disappear until I complete certain steps on the
account page( say, create an account which spans over 2 pages). Only after creation
of account should i see the tabs again.. is it possible?

The files you are looking for to change are located under the framework directory
in your application. The file hportal.inc or vportal.inc has a link to the hnav_bar
or vnav_bar file. So, you can check if certain criteria has happened and then
show the links or not show them. Whichever navbar url you included in the EBCC
tells you which file you should look in

Pages and icons (in the tabs and navigation bars) are too big due to 22 upgrade

Due to FF22 upgrade (from 21), all my icons (from webpages, addons and regular buttons) and tabs have got bigger and that's really ugly because of the low resolution of the images. Also considering I have a rather big number of tabs I can just see a smaller number of them and it's annoying.
The zoom of the page is now bigger (given that I has already zoom in in version 21, now the pages are too big and I have to zoom out a page that was correctly zoomed in 21)
Surprisingly the menu bar is intact !
Is that a new graphic convention ? Is there an update of something like GTK+ in this new version that could be responsible of this bug ? And mainly is there anyway to fix it ?
My screen resolution is 1920*1080. And for example with chromium or FF21 the menu have the perfect size.
PS: Sorry for my poor English.

All these confusing explanations on how to fix something that never should have been changed. It just pisses me off that I now have to get used to inferior graphics because someone thought it would be cool to screw with settings people have obviously been using for who knows how long. I have tried simply zooming down and that doesn't work. I am not going to enter a bunch of techie gobbledeegook and screw up my whole internet experience. I am just PISSED!!!!
How about another version to correct this? Hey, if someone wants to stay with this one, fine. At least give us people who aren't tech wizards an option to stick with what we have and what we have been happy with for years. Now, excuse me.. I need to get away from this.. I am so f***king pissed!!!
30 minutes later: Okay, I went to about:config and a window came up .. pretty much telling me my computer would blow sky high and take me with it. I'm just an old lady who WAS passing my time browsing and playing a few games. Oops, I'm getting mad again. PS I NEVER talk like this, but this has ruined my whole fricken day.
15 minutes later: I decided to give up. I went to play some monopoly at my favorite game site and the pop up window with the game board was unplayable. The board was way down the window and not complete. So, I went back and despite all the warnings went back to Version 21. I have used Firefox for years and have sworn by it and defended it and given it my best reviews. up until now. I absolutely don't want to quit FF, but I don't know all the tech stuff, I guess is required to change formats back to what you are used to. I still can't believe FF would make a drastic change across the board without warning or giving a choice. If I didn't know how to downgrade, I wouldn't be able to use my PC to help me get through each day. Why why why?

Problem loading web sites, but only if they are not in the tabs or navigation bar

First, sorry for my English :(
I have trouble since 2-3 weeks now when I want to open a new page. I can use my tabs (Gmail, Facebook, etc) or use the addresses that I have in my navigation history. But I'm not able to do much else.
If I type an address, it won't load. If I use the Google Ad-On to look for something, not loading. But if I am on Facebook and click on a link, it works. I can also use that link (per example Youtube) to look something else.
I hope it's clear :) Not easy to explain a computer problem, worst when it's not in your first language :P

Tabbed Menu navigation

Using JDeveloper 10.1.3, ADF BC
I think, I missed something, this should be simple. Here is the problem:
I have three .jspx pages. On the first page I have panelPage and menuTabs with two commandMenuItem (call Page2 and call Page3).
When I click on Page2 (or Page3) tab, I want to display Page2.jspx (or Page3.jspx) inside the first (calling) page below the menu (like frames). How to achieve this behavior?
For now, Page2 and Page3 are displayed as new independent pages, what I don't want.
My panelPage:
<af:panelPage title="Page 1 title">
<f:facet name="menu1">
<af:menuTabs>
<af:commandMenuItem text="Page2" action="GoPage2"/>
<af:commandMenuItem text="Page3" action="GoPage3"/>
</af:menuTabs>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="menuGlobal"/>
<f:facet name="branding"/>
<f:facet name="brandingApp"/>
<f:facet name="appCopyright"/>
<f:facet name="appPrivacy"/>
<f:facet name="appAbout"/>
<f:facet name="menu2">
<af:menuBar/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="actions"/>
</af:panelPage>

Saso

Hi sasoc,
You can 2-3 different way to solve your problem. One of this is point the action of command menu items to same page but hold an page attribute which is changed when the different command menu item clicked. This page attribute is , then, used for displaying different panel boxes which holds different content. All you want to display in a different page is displayed in same page in different panel boxes instead of different pages. You will use page attribute which is changed by every time a command menu item clicked, for rendering different panel boxes each time so there will be no excess pages.
best regards...

Pull tab menu navigation issue

I've been running into some issues within pull tabs. It’s currently being used for the navigation within the folio (see attached PNGs).
There seems to be a .125 second to even a .5 second delay on the interactivity with the buttons. The rate at which they respond is reacting differently each time they're touched but all are approximately within the interval .125 - .5 seconds. The navigation itself is a PNG and the interactivity is implemented through 8 rectangle frames converted into button forms placed over the top of their associated buttons. Have you ever heard of someone experiences issues concerning usability when converting frames into button forms?
I’m thinking that it’s got to be something to do with DPS not being able to respond to the created button forms appropriately or it’s a bug within the pull tab that delays button sensitivity implementing the lag when the user initiates it's action.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

My apologies, that portion was copied from an email I sent to a colleague regarding the matter.
I always convert no fill/stroke frames to buttons on top of the artwork - not the artwork itself. My co-worker who's been working with DPS for years does it differently. Wanted to confirm that.
Still having issues on response time..

Accordion navigation bar styling.

Hi,
I'm wondering if it is possible to create a one page website which includes a "metro style" accordion navigation bar that holds the content for the website within each tab?
I know this is possible within jquery/css etc but would like to build it in muse if possible. The idea is that the landing page will consist of one image filling the entire screen with a "metro tabbed" style navigation bar and I would like the content to be animated and slide down/or across the page into view?

Hello,
In Muse you can only either use the usual menu bar from the menus widgets or you may also use the normal accordion panel which again is provided in the widgets panel. For your specifc requirement, as you have quoted correctly, you'll need to insert some CSS etc. in Muse using the Object -> Insert HTML option.
Cheers

Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now ?

Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now that they do not have the spry option?

bbull2005 wrote:
Preran, why wouldn't Dreamweaver include it's own menu/navigation bar widget?
I can't answer on Preran's or Adobe's behalf, but I think you'll find at least part of the answer here: http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/38666403/Menubar
Adobe decided to discontinue development of Spry in August last year, and Dreamweaver CC made the switch to using jQuery UI widgets and effects. One reason for dropping Spry was that it failed to work correctly in some browsers. Judging from the fact that the jQuery UI menubar is now "on ice", creating a flyout menu that works reliably across all devices is proving more difficult than originally envisaged.
Because all other widgets in Dreamweaver CC use jQuery UI, it's a reasonable assumption that Adobe hoped the jQuery UI menubar would be ready in time, but it wasn't.

Opening pdf files disables navigation bar

When I have a pdf file open in one tab, the navigation bar seems to disable itself. I can't type in the addressbar or use the search box, but the back, forward, refresh, stop, and home buttons work.

The latest Kaspersky software version is 15.0.1.415 or 15.0.1.415ab.

Saved tabs menu bookmark brings Safari window to unusable state

Saved tabs menu bookmark does not ask for user confirmation when navigating away from many tabs, and when the user returns to the previous set of tabs (note that this possibility isn't clear to the user), the entire Safari window reaches an unusable state.
I have a saved tabs folder as a bookmark item that is also present on the bookmarks menu bar. That means if I accidentally click on the saved tabs link instead of the address bar then my Safari session with all of the current active tabs disappears! I'd like to suggest that Safari presents a confirmation page when the user is about to change the state of more than one tab, just like it would ask for confirmation if the user were to exit Safari or close a window with many open tabs. By clicking on that single button nearby to the address bar, the entire window state is altered, not just the current tab. That's not my initial expected behaviour. On the other hand, it was also not clear to me initially that I could navigate back to the previous set of tabs when that state is comprehensively changed. So maybe the user can be informed about the ability to undo that action. For now, I will certainly be moving that set of tabs away from the menu bar, tucked further within the Bookmarks menu. But the problem that I have now is more than just a temporary unavailability of the old state.
When I accidentally navigated forward to that set of tabs, and subsequently quickly hit the back arrow button to revert to the previous state, Safari itself reached a point where the content of all tabs became unavailable. This sounds like it could be a kind of race condition where Safari needs to throw away cached information for the old set of tabs before it builds new cached information upon loading all new tabs. By aborting the process of loading those new tabs, maybe Safari assumes that the set of tabs is up to date, but the transition back to the old set of tabs doesn't appropriately trigger a reload and revert of the state. In any case the symptom is clear. When I switch between tabs in the problematic window, I continue to get completely blank screens even though I had many distinct tabs open in that window initially. It seems that to reproduce this problem what needs to be done is to have this set of saved tabs in a bookmark that is stored just below the address bar, and then to quickly navigate backward to return to the previous state. The more tabs in the current and stored session, the more this process may bog down Safari and expose this type of race condition. I also believe I may have also double or triple clicked that saved tabs button, which may invalidate the original set of tabs since the state for several sets of tabs might not be stored transparently by default. In any case I would like to recommend that Safari warn the user when this step takes place. The user could even be warned because they place a set of tabs bookmark below the menu bar, since they might accidentally click there. When this problem occurred, the other Safari window I had open had multiple tabs but this part of the Safari session was considered still working and the symptoms were not there. Yet the problematic window continues to experience the problem where all tabs are currently blank. I believe that I'll have to restart Safari to trigger the reloading of the pages, but I don't even know if that will be sufficient. I hope that this information is helpful.

Recommend to whom? Discussions is a user-to-user forum. You are just talking to other users. We don't write the applications so we can't change how they work.
If you have what you believe to be a product improvement idea, send it to Apple via the feedback URL. Posting it here is pointless.

Navigation bar different colors for each tab

I want to have the top horizontal navigation bar with different background colours for each tab on the bar.
I don't want to change the background colour for the entire navigation bar. How do I change them individually?
thanks!

Hi lorrscorpio,
As far as I know it is difficult to change background color of top navigation link OOTB, better to create a html menu for that and add it to your page .In that you can easily change background color of your top navigation link.

Navigation Bar and tab

Hell guys,
When I go to a page attached to navigation bar, the existing tab disappears. How to define the page / navigation bar / tab to fix this?
Thanks,
Ben

Scott,
Thanks for your quick response. And you are right (as always), if I define the page as part of tab, it will show the tab. I did not make my question very clear, As part of the navigation bar, I don't want the page to be part of tab; but I want the tab menu to be visible/available so the user can go back to the application anytime. an example will be in Metalink, The "Admin" navigation bar will start an admin page, it's not part of parent tab, but the parent tab is available anytime. Have I made myself clear?
Thanks,
Ben

Removing navigation bar safari

When the user navigates from the main menu of my hybrid html app this navigation bar always appears on every subsequent html page and pushes the header down. Is there a way to remove the Safari back button and nav bar seen here? I have custom back/forward buttons within the app already for the user to navigate and ideally need to get it fullscreen. I would appreciate any feedback since I have looked everywhere.
My header code on this subpage is:

I have been searching as well, and I cannot find a good solution. I do most of my navigating using the navigation bar. Now, what used to take one tap takes two or requires a down swipe to access controls I had before. I would really like to get back the functionality I had before the update.
