Selecting non-contiguous text in Safari

I cannot find a way to select non-contiguous text in Safari.
Select>Command>select does not work (as it does in Text Edit.
I am very surprised that I can't locate any information on this via google, yahoo, etc.
The only item I did find is something called "Safari Magic" but it looks pretty old and costs $19.
So here I am hoping to get "truth" from the source (or any kind person).
I'm in Snow Leopard; Safari 5.1.5.
Thanks.

Carolyn
Thanks. I hadn't explored Safari's Extensions (only Firefox's). Your was a good suggestion. Alas - and to my absolute consternation - nothing for selecting non-contiguous text.

Thanks. And as I alluded to Carolyn...this is really odd and frustrating. Not just that this functionality does not exist in an Apple application while it does in other Apple apps, but also that there does not appear to be any Extensions directed at this function.
Can I be the only person in the world who selects and copies random or non-contiguous text from web sites?

How to select non-contiguous text

Selecting non-consecutive text in Safari text boxes?

I've been trying to find a way to highlight/select different ranges of text in Safari without luck; I know that selecting consecutive text can be done by holding down "shift", but is there any way to do it with non-consecutive text? TextEdit is able to do this -- I can select a word in one paragraph, hold down the "command" key, and then separately highlight a word or sentence in another paragraph.

Select non-consecutive text

How do I select non-consecutive text in V5.1? I have a new macbook air and am new to apple. This is such a simple thing, surely there is a way.

Yeah!
Some people seem to just bulldoggedly want to head deeper into the swamp.
I was just at the local PC User Group yesterday, listening to their tales of woe.
I carefully and clearly explained why they had their problems, then the few simple steps to avoid them, but they think they HAVE to use IE, they HAVE to do all the complicated and silly things that PC users do.
Down to buying an expensive replacement battery for an ancient laptop, with faulty keys, that was worth less than the battery.
Everything else doesn't even register. I can see how these PC service centres manage to suck all that money from the poor schmucks.

How do I highlight non-contiguous text on pages?

I've tried on pages using the command key, the alt key, the control key. None of them wil let me highlight texts from different parts of a document at the sametime. Does anyone know how to do this?

It always helps to say what version of the software you are using, so we don't have to guess.
It sounds like you are using Pages 5 because Apple removed this along with about 100 other features.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

Help selecting non-continuous text in code editor, please?

I'm editing a list... I want to make a lot of selections at once and edit them at the same time. You know how you can go through files in windows and ctrl+click/select files to move around? I could do this in Notepad++ so I guess I could switch back and forth but that would be a big pain. Any ideas?

Depending on what the edit is, you could use the Find & Replace (CRTL+F) to just click your way through the list items. If the list is all different items, you'll probably have to do it in a word processor. I don't know any way to do it in the code editor.

Safari displays PDF as non-readable text

Recently when I open a PDF file in Safari it displays as non-readable text. How can this be fixed?

After some further research I resolved the problem. The Adobe Acrobat Reader installation was indeed the culprit. I had to unlock and allow myself to access as a root user on the Mac. Then I searched the \Library file for the "Internet Plug-ins" folder. I created a new "Internet Plug-ins Disabled" folder and moved the following 2 Adobe plug-in files 1. AdobePDFViewer.plugin; 2. AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled file I just created; or you can move those two files into the trash folder. Either way should work. I did actually have to do both, becasue the 2 files copied rather than moved. Most important after performing this task REMEMBER to LOCK the root user before resuming normal work on your computer. Root user access has a lot of power and can yield a lot of havock if you inadvertently forget and have left in unlocked.

Contiguous and non-contiguous multiple cell selection in JTable

I desparately need your help on this.
My appliaction contains a JTable. The users should be permitted to select multiple cells (both contiguous and non-contiguous) using
Ctrl + Click -- add that cell the already existing selection
Shift + Click -- add all cells in the range to the selection.
I like to have the selection behaviour as that in Excel (where you could ctrl + click on any cell to add it to selection).
Questions:
==========
Is this behavior possible using JTable?
How to do this?

Hi, use
JTable table = new JTable();
DefaultListSelectionModel dlm = new DefaultListSelectionModel();
dlm.setSelectionMode( ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION ); //1( the first one should be the one you are looking for)
or (choose 1 or 2, the rest stays the same)
dlm.setSelectionMode( ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION );//2
table.getColumnModel().setSelectionModel(dlm);
table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);Hope this helps.
Greetings Michael.

CS3; How do you select multiple (non-contiguous) paragraphs to apply styles?

There must be a shortcut key to select multiple, non-contiguous paragraphs when applying paragraph styles... Thanks.

Was that a command to the engineers, or a question for the forum?

Non contiguous selection

Is it me, or has Pages lost it's ability to do a multiple non contiguous selection ?

Yes, it's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.

Can't select text in Safari

I am a minister and have access to several sites with Bible translation. With my iPad I cannot seem to select text so I can copy and paste it into Pages. These sites are public domain so there is no copyright problem. I can do this on my MacBook Pro with Safari, but not with iPad Safari. Any ideas why not. I actually was able to do it once, but then I could not duplicate the action.

I've noticed this on some websites too. I'm no website designer, but sometimes when you visit a website some text that is displayed is like a picture of words...like a PDF which is just a picture of text...not individual characters that you can select. Other text are individual characters that you can select. It may depend on how the website is designed/put together.

Moving non-contiguous frames

It appears that you can't move non-contiguous frames in
Flash. What I mean is, say you have seven layers and you want to
move keyframes on the non-contiguous layers 1,3,5, and 7. Now, you
can select the keyframes in each non-contiguous layer by holding
the command key (mac) but when you try to move them you only can
move the keyframe that you click on, the other selected keyframes
instantly become deselected! But, if you select contiguous frames
using SHIFT, then you can move keyframes en masse. I don't get it.
Is this a feature? It seems counterintuitive to me. I hope that
Adobe fixes this in the next version of flash.

Templates would allow you to build your navigation in the template page and propagate that navigation to every child page. To change a link you would edit the template page, save it, and your link edits would then be automatically propagated to all child pages of that template. You would then have to upload all the changed child pages to the remote server for those changes to be visible on the web. It is one of the several likely methods to give you this kind of maintenance leverage.
Another way would be to investigate the use of DW's Library items for your navigation element. Like templates, one change to the Library item would then propagate automatically to all pages containing that Library item. Once again, these changed pages would have to be uploaded.
Finally, server-side includes are the optimal way to handle this (in my opinion). The navigation code fragment is contained in a separate file which is uploaded to the server. The individual pages contain directives that instruct the server to include the file's code in each such page. In this case, you would edit the include file and upload that single file to the server. That one file upload would then express your edits in each page containing it.

Non-destructive text cutting

I have been trying to find a non-destructive way of cutting text from an image and have come up with nothing.
The only way I have been able to create the effect is by deleting a selection of the text layer from the image which is not something I can then change in the future.
Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The best way I have found to do what I want is to just re mask the text each time I want to change it. It isn't too time consuming and It should suffice if no quicker solution is available.

Acro 8 Pro - Extract non-contiguous pages?

A client says she has this ability in a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but not in 9:
Is there a way to extract non-contiguous pages in one operation? For example, in the Pages panel, you can select pages 1, 3, 5, and 7. Can you extract these pages? If you right-click, Extract, it seems you are forced to choose a page range. But if you right-click, Delete, you have the option to delete your group of selected pages. It would be nice to do this with Extract.

> A client says she has this ability in a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but not in 9
What version?
Workaround:
Copy the file and delete the other pages.

Problem trying to clue non contiguous audio regions

I'm trying to glue together non contiguous audio regions after cutting up loop.
I know I should get a dialogue box telling me that logic will create a new region, but this is not happening and it wont let me glue the region together, is there an option or something to turn this function on?
any help would be great thanks

your problem is most likely that you're trying to do this with apple loops, not normal audio files. you can't use these functions with apple loops, along with others such as fade in/out and crossfade. you'll have to export the selection to a new audio file, or bounce it.
