Safari switches pages or drops a website when I am typing in a text box

When I am typing in Safari in a text box, it will often jump to another page or drop the current website.  I can do these operations without any problem using FireFox.  I would appreciate any help in fixing this problem.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that off if there are any installed. Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn extensions back on then uninstall one a time to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts.

    Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts. Like many who can type quite quickly but at secretarial level, the text box freezes, nothing works and you know what's coming...crash!
    This is most annoying. Is there bug fixes for this. Apparently I have the current updates and this problem still exists. Is it a Maverick bug or Keynote.

    How did you install Mavericks, as an update ontop of the previous OS or did you wipe the drive and install clean?

  • Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

    Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so  'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
    cat
    dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
    Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
    Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
    This is the script I have so far
    (function () {
        // Do nothing if not committed
        if (event.willCommit) return;
        // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
        var aQuotes = [3];
        // Populate the array with the paragraph text
        aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
        aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
        aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
        // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
        var item = event.changeEx
        // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
        getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

    You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
    getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
    To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

  • Multiple drop down menu items to populate the same separate text box. How can I do it?

    In Acrobat Pro X, I've figured out how to create a drop down menu with items that will populate a separate text box, but how can I get multiple menu items to populate the same text box. For example. My drop down menu has three items  cat, dog, mouse. I choose cat and it appears in my separate text box (hooray). Next, I choose 'dog' from the same menu. I would like it to appear in the same text box along with my previous selection 'cat.' Is this possible? I'm very new to Java Script, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    She is the script I'm using
    (function () {
        // Do nothing if not committed
        if (event.willCommit) return;
        // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
        var aQuotes = [3];
        // Populate the array with the paragraph text
        aQuotes[0] = "cat"
        aQuotes[1] = "dog"
        aQuotes[2] = "mouse"
        // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
        var item = event.changeEx
        // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
        getField("Text field 1").value = aQuotes[item];

  • My page color chaned to blue when I was typing, I want to change back to white

    I am using the default firefox theme 9.1 version. I was typing and must have hit some odd key combination and now all my browser screns have a greenish blue background. I want to change it back to white, but following the options menu for color does not change it

    Does this still happen if you restart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? For more instructions, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    Does this only affect Firefox, or does it affect other programs on your computer too?

    How can I select adn enlarge the entire document/image on a page, reducing the the surrounding boarder?  I can move the different text and image boxes around independently of each other but the outer most boarders of the main template block appear to be fixed.  I thought I would be able to enlarge or reduce my document from 'page layout' but this does not seem possible.

  • How do I get to save my pass words and login so they appear when I doulbe click on a text box?

    I previous versions when I typed in a login or password for the first time it asked if I wanted to save the li&pw.
    It has stopped doing that.
    Also can there be a place in the Password storage to enter PW's that will appear once you start typing.

  • I am working in Pages and am trying to have the same footer on every page ?I went into View/Layout and typed in footer text  in the space but it only appears on first page and not any subsequent pages? Thank you.

    I am working in Pages on a report and trying to have the same footer on each page. I went to View/Layout, followed instructions, but the footer text only appears on the first page and not any subsequent pages? What should I do differently please? Thank you., Elisabeth

  • How do I view pages from a website when offline?

    I would like to be able to view all the pages of a particular website when not connected to wifi or 3G. How do I set this up?

    iCab mobile allows for this, and does a pretty good job. There is also an app called Off line pages you might want to look into. Not the only apps by any means, so checking to app store would be worth the effort.

  • How to I create floating text boxes in Pages 5.2 (there is no inspector setting)

    In previous pages you could have several text boxes "floating" using the inspector tool. In pages 5.2 I can seem to have two text boxes layered without one of them becoming invisible. I have looked through all the settings I can find. Has anyone else out there figured this out? It is a must for newsletters and such!

    When layered do you want the text box underneath to be visible or invisible in the parts that overlap?

  • Linking text boxes in Pages v5.5.1

    My old Pages, '09, was able to link text in text boxes. I just upgraded to Yosemite, and then to Pages v 5.5.1, and now, when opening my old newsletters, the text boxes unlink, and I can not find a way to re-link them. I need to have text boxes linked in my newsletters. Help!

    Gone, with over 100 other features.
    Use Pages '09 it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • What are the blue lines around text in a text box in Pages 09?

    I'm now seeing blue lines around all of the text in any text box in my Pages layout document.  Its a bit annoying as it makes it hard to see the layout when I'm working in the text box.  See below.  Just curious if this an issue or some undocumented feature I'm not aware of

    Any text was copied and pasted from documents not the web.  Interestingly, if I add a new text box, the "Type here to enter text" also has the blue lines around it.  However, if I select all and delete that text, I can now type text without the blue lines.
    Also, if I create a new page layout document and add a text box, there are no blue lines.
    Its all very strange and seems to be eluding everyone.
    Thanks however, for your help.

  • Pages text boxes

    I just wanted to have a plain sheet of paper to type a letter with drag and drop icons. I chose Pages, word processing, blank sheet. I now have little boxes with plus signs, I can't move the text, I can't control the cursor. I am using Pages '08 on a MBP 10.6.8. Thank you for help. Arudi

    PeterBreis0807
    Thank you for your response.
    I have all objects, no text, four objects per line, four lines per page.
    I started putting words under the objects with the text boxes, then deleting the text boxes. Then the small boxes with the plus sign (⊞) appeared. They seem to be connected with the larger text box.
    I can delete them if I put them in a box and click delete. The problem is, I can't get the boxes off the text, and if I click delete, it also deletes the text.
    I would like to get rid of the boxes all together.
    I watched the Pages tutorial but it didn't mention the box problem. I looked through many discussions, but saw nothing about this.
    I looked for help on 'HELP' but nothing.
    For the last year I have used Pages for a 150 page project and had no boxes, so I must have done something different.
    If I click on the blank page, the cursor is not there unless I click in a certain spot. I have to click around before I find the spot, or the boxes come up in certain spots.
    I copy and pasted all the objects onto a new 'pages layout' to see if it was different. I can't get a cursor or box anywhere. The objects pasted okay but no cursor so I can add text.
    I unclicked 'object causes wrap' but it changed nothing. I never put anything on top of anything esle.
    Thank you for you time. Arudi
