Shutting off the annoying yellow text box thing.

Does anyone know how I can shut off the yellow text box that pops up when I stop the curser on a hyperlink?
I rarely use it and it's just too annoying to me.

Actually, that's incorrect. Tooltips are enabled by default in Safari 3.
I was referring to showing *the full URL of a link* in a tooltip when you hover over the link. Is that enabled by default in Safari 3? My impression is that is not. (It was enabled by default in a previous version of Safari, which annoyed many people and caused quite the uproar here. )
As mentioned above and in my edit, showing URLs in tooltips can be enabled/disabled. Showing title text in tooltips doesn't seem to be something you can disable, or at least not as easily.
You can check whether URL tooltips are turned on for Safari by checking its .plist file for the lines:
<key>WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips</key>
<string>N</string>
Where N=0 means URL tooltips are turned off, and N=1 means they're turned on.

  • How can I turn off the annoying yellow boxes that have started appearing?

    It seems that recently I have started having annoying yellow boxes appearing when I hover over thing in the finder window. This is something that I didn't have going on in the previous 3 versions of Mac OS X.
    Here's an example...
    How can I get rid of them?

    This appears to be a third party extention of some sort with the bright yellow background?  Start there if you modified.
    Might look at the following:

    When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it.  I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
    thanks,

    Add another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.

  • How to edit text in the yellow text box of a URL-link?

    Hey guys!
    I´m currently working on a website in Iweb.
    My current challenge is the following:
    - I´ve made a marked text a hyperlink. But when I rollover it, a yellow text box appears and shows the entire URL.
    Now, I want it to show a custom edit text.
    example:
    the link is: www.domainpage.com/home/subfolder/page1234/sweet.html.
    the yellow text box SHOULD SAY (example):
    "Sweet" tattoo
    How do I rename the text in the yellow box?

    This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
    If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
    </script>
    Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

  • I am so frustrated.  I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens.  It is so frustrating!  I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

    I put an object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer, just the text cursor shows) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens.  It is so frustrating!  I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot.  I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

    I got a phone call and it ignored the call and sent a text message to that person "On my way can't talk right now"
    What the ****? I didnt ask it to do that. invasion of my proivacy ****** ********

    Instead of Ignore, you must have touched the button for Message. That will send a message from the phone, depending on what you have set. Check the User Guide for a better explanation. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes

    Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes when you hover over a song in your song list.

    Like whan you touch the black bar at the top of the screen with the time and the battery percentage and all that...the screen will scroll all the way back to the top.  I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that off

  • EMac Panther - Using external monitor, I want to shut off the main monitor.

    Hello guys and gals. I have an eMac with Panther. I'm using the VGA adapter so I can use a nice LCD TV as my screen. It works great and as you may know, it will only mirror the main screen (both screens show the same thing).
    What I want to do is shut off the eMac Monitor (crt) and only use the external LCD through the VGA Adapter. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    Try using the Desktop & Screen Saver pane of System Preferences to set a hot corner on the display and using that corner to sleep it. If that doesn't work, it can't be done.

    I need to know how to stop a notification that keeps coming up when playing a spades game, that keeps telling me to go to the game center. I even shut off the notifications in the settings, this is an anoying problem

    I'm pretty sure this is an Apple thing and you can't do anything about it. To get rid of the notification just do as it asks then try to forget about it.

  • I can no longer see the gray "suggested text" boxes when I type an email or text message.  How do I restore this function?

    I upgraded my phone to the latest operating system a few days ago.  I really like the gray suggested text boxes that appeared when typing an email or text message.  That function has stopped.  How do I get it back?

    Make sure you have "Predictive" turned on (green) in Settings > general > Keyboards.

  • Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4s and still use it with a wifi connection ?

    Can you shut off the Internet on a iPhone 4 and then use the phone as normal

    I assume that you're asking if you can shut off cellular data (as no individual can shut off the Internet! )? Yes, you can turn off cellular data and use the phone features (except for MMS which requires cellular data) and access the Interenet via WiFi.
