Safari and word wrapping in Yahoo Groups

I have just discovered that the reason why all my Yahoo Group posts are horribly formatted is because I am using Safari. As soon as I use Internet Explorer it works fine. Is this a known problem, and is there anything I can do about it.

Hi
This is an on-going Yahoo problem. Same formatting problem occurs in Firefox. As you discovered, the best remedy is Internet Explorer.
You may want to contact Yahoo via their customer support link. However, given Yahoo's anti-mac/safari position over the past xxx years, I would not expect a reasonable answer.

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.

Can't Open Safari and Word at Same Time

Urged my daughter-in-law to replace her old PC with a new iMac. she did and loves it. But now ther is this glitch that she has asked me for help with. I am stuck — thinking there was a simple selection item somewhere. But if there is, I can't find it. any ideas? Basically, the problem is this: when she trys to rum Safari and Word at the same time, one window disappears when the other application is selected in the dock. Then the other application will appear when selected but the one in the window disappears — nothing crashes. Here's how she describes it:
I could see both windows when I had iphoto and itunes open, but it wouldn't let me have itunes and word open simultaneously, or itunes and safari open simultaneously, or word and safari open simultaneously (as we already knew). I could have iCal open with the other programs at the same time (I just wanted to try another program in the dock to see what happened). I dunno... still it doesn't seem like a faulty operating system.... just a quirky way of organizing opened windows.... I wonder if it has to do anything with the function of using the command + tab function to scroll through open programs. I vaguely remember setting that up, or finding that function somewhere when I first was getting used to this computer and maybe that has something to do with it.
Any ideas?

Is she using an account with parental controls enabled and the Simple Finder option turned on?

If not, the only other thing that comes to mind (other than Spaces issues, which I don't use and thus can't comment on) is that maybe she's holding down the option key when switching apps, or has installed some third-party software that does this sort of thing.
Edit: I knew I'd seen this recently... someone else was having this problem due to LaunchBar:

On reboot - wallpaper, safari and word change to previous settings.

Hi,
Thanks in advance for help. As aforemetioned, on reboot the computer seems to revert to an earlier state, where the desktop wallpaper changes to previous setting from a couple of days ago, with safari and word automatically opening with articles and webites that were open and being used at that time.
I am still able to open and save new documents, but the computer seems to revert back to this 'set-point' on restart, meaning i have to close these webpages everytime, and change my background picture too.
I updated to lion 10.7.3 just before this started to happen, too.
Thanks.

Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...

Safari and Word keep shutting down, any idea why?

I have a Macbook since a little more than 3 years, but recently Safari and Word keep shutting down. Is there any way to fix this or my laptop is going to die?

Are you sure its those two programs or is it a mac fault, if not you could try reinstalling the software

Safari and FireFox hosed on Yahoo, Flickr, Corporate Website (telecommuter)

Good evening,
My wife has been experiencing a setback with Tiger since 10.4.7. She cannot login to her Yahoo groups, her Flickr account, or her corporate website for work. She can get access but going deeper than one level simply times out, both my Thinkpads work just fine. But, in the interest of checking everything I upgraded our network by installing a new, different brand, PPPoE router. She has the problem over wireless or wired connections. If that was not enough, both our other Minis are experiencing the same issue. One PPC, one Intel Mini.
We are both well acquainted with Macs having used them since 7.5.1. We have covered all the normal bases. I am a systems administrator having worked with Macs, Unix, Linux, Solaris, and Windows. It ain't our network.
We searched the forums for answers and some of them even worked. here is the rundown of what we have done, and what the results were.
Create a new user account to isolate the problem.
Result = Problem solved, no issues with Yahoo or Flickr
Tossed Safari cookies
Tossed Safari prefs com.apple.safari.plist
Fixed permissions
Result = Problem solved for original user.
Wait one week, problem returned. Went through the above procedure and everything worked again.
Wait another week, problem returned. Went through the above procedure and the problem did not go away. Tried the second account we created to isolate the problem and now the second account has the same issue. Installed FireFox, no difference, problem persists.
We are seriously considering wiping the HardDrive and reinstalling the original shipped OS, then turning off SoftWare Updates, but that seems to much like a "Windows" solution to us.
I am out of options, does anyone have a permanent solution to this problem?
Thanks,
DAve

Ok, here is where we stand. We tried all manner of updates, including combo patches. Problem still exists, on all three Mac Minis. My work laptop (XP Pro) has no issue.
2 Mac Minis(PPC) at 10.4.11 Safari 3.0.14
1 Mac Mini (Intel) at 10.4.11 Safari 3.0.14
Our network has been replaced, yes, replaced. New LinkSys PPOE router, new switches. All the Macs have been added to a 100mb full duplex lan. No airport.
We went so far as to reformat and reinstall Tiger from the original DVDs on all three Minis. With no software other than the install DVDs the problem returned.
At this point we allowed the Minis to complete a software update, hopefully to get only the newest updates.
No joy. You can go to maps.yahoo.com, login as a yahoo user, and attempting to logout will causes the pages to fail to load. Spinning cursor ****. Mapquest will fail sooner. Yahoo groups, Flickr, Facebook, etc. All hosed.
Answers to Bee;
- We tried the 10.4.10, problem returned, that was when we did a full format and reinstall.
- The new users works, for a while. I suspect a cron job is the culprit, is there anything modifing perms (expecialy cookie permissions) on a schedule?
- Firewall? no. There is nothing in the Linksys that should block access, I had my wife leave her Mac firewall OFF. My XP Pro machine uses the same network. We are all on DHCP. I had two servers in here last week, another work laptop, and three VMWare guests all running and having no issues accessing the internet.
I hesitate to go to an Apple store, if they tell me an upgrade to 10.5 will fix the problem I will spaz out. I am also not too keen on paying to fix an issue I see as not a user created problem.
I need direction, advice, a drink. The Macs are all but unusable for internet access at this point, if a website requires a login it's a crapshoot whether it will work or not. My wife has artwork and several classes on Flickr and Yahoo, right now she can't do anything.
Help.

If my macbook's memory pressure goes red with just Safari and Word open, is it just a memory issue?

Hello all,
I'd really appreciate any input on this issue. I'm not especially expert with regard to computer systems and software, so I ask that you please bear with me; I'll try to provide the best information I can. What has been happening with my computer is that it has been freezing and crashing, even with only Safari and Microsoft Word open. More information about the system as well as what I've done so far is below.
I have a mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory (two 2 GB cards), and an Intel HD Graphics 4000 card. I am running I have approximately 280 gigs free on my 500 GB Apple HDD. I am running OS X 10.9.3 (13D65), Kernel version Darwin 13.2.0.
In March or April of this year, my computer started seriously slowing down and freezing and crashing. (I think that this was around the time I upgraded to Mavericks, but am not 100% positive.) Since it is my only computer and I'm a PhD student, it took me until May to seriously address the issue. I ran Apple hardware diagnostics and the disk utility (verified the disk; verified & repaired the permissions), and tried uninstalling programs I thought might be causing issues, but nothing improved. Since it didn't appear to be a hardware issue, I decided to do a clean install of Mavericks with a full software update [and didn't use a time machine backup like I'd done in the past; I only backed up files and bookmarks this time and installed new versions of all my programs]. Although my computer ran better for a few weeks, it started slowing down again, and lately has been crashing on a near-daily basis.
After reading through the fora, I re-ran disk utility (disks check out fine; one permission -- for Safari -- seems to refuse to be repaired), re-ran Apple Hardware test twice (no issues found), and have been running the Activity Monitor [I put it in my dock with the bars showing CPU usage]. Today, when my computer started seriously slowing while I had only two programs open (Safari & Microsoft Word), the Activity Monitor icon on the dock showed all four bars at max.
I managed to get a few screencaps of the Activity Monitor:
So, this suggests to me that either (a) I have insufficient RAM to run Mavericks and run basic computer programs, or (b) there is some other issue.
Do you all have any recommendations as to the best way to proceed? I don't have a lot of cash, so I can't really spend money unless it is really warranted. Would it be worth running OnyX first? Or is this a pretty clear indication that I need new RAM? Alternately, are there any other issues that seem likely (an undetected hard drive problem, etc.)?
Thank you!

Hi Melophage,
Thank you. Although it is possible something was running in the background, in Force Quit, the only applications visible were Finder, Microsoft Word, and Safari.

DataGrid, HTML Text, and WORD WRAPPING

I have a datagrid, with 2 columns:
- comment
- date
The dataprovider that feeds the datagrid is an array
collection, with each object containing the following fields:
- comment
- date
- viewed
What I want to do is BOLD the comment cell if the comment has
not yet been viewed. What I first tried doing was to just insert
the <b></b> tags on the server and then feed them up to
Flex. So here's the code that I had tried to do this with:
<mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label htmlText="{data.comment}" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
This works, but I lose the word wrapping for long comments (I
have wordwrap="true" defined on my DataGrid).
Then I tried changing my approach and doing something a
little more simple to try and preserve the word wrapping, like
this:
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="comment" width="100"
wordWrap="true" fontWeight="{(data.viewed==0 ? 'bold' : 'normal')}"
/>
Yet that doesn't seem to work either, it appears to just
completely ignore everything... no bolding whatsoever.
So my question is: what's the best to to control the BOLDING
of a DataGrid cell while at the same time retaining the word wrap
features?
Thanks,
Jacob

<mx:DataGridColumn>
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label htmlText="{data.comment}"
wordWrap="true" height="100%"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>

Text area and Word Wrapping

I am creating a email form and am having problems with word
wraping in the text area. You can view the page and the output if
you put your email address in the form. The problem is the text
areas word wrap when inputting your information but all formatting
is lost in the email. Even if I add spacing for paragraphs. All
data is just a big run on sentence.
Here is the
Page.
I am using Dreamweaver * and php.
Thanks

Someone may have tried this because I received this output in
an email. You can see the formattint is lost.

[Solved]Conky and word wrapping - Is there a way?

So I have a very limited area to work with, something like 176x360 (+/- a few pixels), and I want the ability to show an RSS feed. Well, the feed works of course, but due to the limited width, I'm in great need of word wrapping, and for that problem I have found no solution and going on for 2-3 hours straight, my head hurts
Anyway, here's my .conkyrc, not that it's needed of course.

I know this looks confusing and probably is full of critical error, but that simple because I'm a conky noob. I basically just downloaded a profile I liked and completely changed it over the course of a few hours.
Anyway, I'm rambling again, but if you've got any idea's, please do let me know.
Best regards.

Okay, so I've found sort of a solution to part of the problem, so what I have so far look like this:
wget -quiet -O - archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | fmt -w 25 -g 25
It works as long as there are no words longer than 25 character, which I should think is rare, even including package names and such.
However there's still the issue parsing the xml so I get only what I want:
<item><title>$content</title><link>
This may be solved using some sort of terminal rss parser, but I would rather prefer not to.
Then there's the issue with reloading.
My current conky is set to reload every second, but of course one can't just pull the feed every second and I'm not convinced that conky has any built in solution for that problem. Of course I can always start a cronjob and save it all to a file, but portability would be nice.
anyway, I'll return later.

Prob with fixed column widths and word wrapping in viewer

i have a report where each record has a very long paragraph of text in it.
In desktop and plus, the text column is at a fixed width and the text just wraps nicely according to the column width.
But in Viewer, the column widths do not stay fixed, the text does not wrap, and the long text is displayed in a single line that completely stretches the column width off the page and requires a horizontal scroll bar.
is there anyway to fix the column width in viewer, have the text naturally wrap, and prevent the column stretching. All word wrapping settings are on, but seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find any solution to this.
Thanks...

Hi Pritam,
Per my understanding that you can't see the vertical scrollbar of the ReportViewer controls 2012 to scroll for the grid rows, but can see the vertical scrollbar of the web application, you also can't fix the headers while scrolling, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce your issue, but you have an alternative way to add some css to the web form's source code to display the vertical scrollbar.
Details information below for your reference:
Please check below properties setting of the reportviewer which control the visibility of the scrollbar:
AsyncRendering="true"
SizeToReportContent="false"
Please check if this problem also occur on other version of IE and other type of browser.
Please check if you have done correct setting of the Fix data to freeze the table header as the step of below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934257(v=sql.100).aspx
If step1 doesn't work, please click the source of webform.aspx and add below CSS to add the vertical scrollbar manually:
#ReportViewer1 {
overflow-y: scroll;
Run the application you will see it display as below:

Resizing ListCellRenderers using JTextArea and word wrap

Hi,
I'm trying to create a ListCellRenderer to draw nice cells for a JList. Each cell has a one line title and a description of variable length. So, I create a custom ListCellRenderer, which consists of a JPanel containing a JLabel for the title and a JTextArea for the description. I set the JTextArea to do wrapping on word boundried and it all almost works.
But, the list cells don't resize to accomodate the variable height of the cells. They show only 1 line for the title and 1 line for the description.
I have seen a few threads relating to this including the article, "Multi-line cells in JTable in JDK 1.4+" in the Java Specialists' Newsletter, which seems to do a similar trick for JTables. But so far nothing I've tried works.
Curiously, using println debugging, my getListCellRenderer method seems to get called for each cell twice while my GUI is being drawn. It looks to me like the TextUI view that draws the JTextArea seems to do the word wrapping after the first set of getListCellRenderer calls. But, it's the first set of calls that seems to establish the layout of the list.
Any help would be appreciated. I've pulled out quite enough hair over this one.
