Some browser links not working - any browser, but just on my mac

I have a strange issue. Over the last while certain page links on browser pages (which seem to be Java script links) won't work in any of my 5 browsers. If I put the same page in to any of my laptop's or my wife's browsers, the links work fine.
For example, I just tried to order some stuff via Staples, and whenever I tried to go to the next screen via a button, nothing happened. Even if I switched User Agents in Safari or Firefox, the "next" button didn't work. Same in Chrome, Camino, Flock and Opera on the same pages. I have noticed lots of drop down menus are not working properly either on many sites.
I figure some bit of OS code must be either blocking or misreading the instruction, but what?
Any ideas? Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

errmm... i'm not sure why you are fiddling with java and system extensions...
java has nothing to do with javascript despite the name (you can blame sun for that) the javascript engine is an integral part of the browser not a separate extension.
Java on the other hand is an entirely separate entity and language that is independent of any one browser and is installed on the OS.
Javascript is commonly used in webpages (all most all these days) where as java is hardly used at all and is usually confined to little "applets" that run separately from the rest of the page.
If you suspect that it is something to do with your settings/preferences in your library then the easiest way to find out is by creating a new User account (go to system preferences> users> and add a user.) Then log into that account and try the browsers in there.
If you really think that it has something to do with system extensions then you can disable them by moving them out of the extensions directory (/System/Library/Extensions/) However i must stress that unless you know what you are doing and know what the extension does that you are moving to not do so... you can easily render your system unbootable if you move the wrong extension... unless you have installed a 3rd party system extension there shouldn't be anything in that directory that isn't meant to be there (this is a very different system from OS 9).
However there are internet plugins that may be interfering with your browsers, you can find these in /Library/Internet Plugins/ you can disable these by moving them also... the defaults are various flash, java, shockwave, quartz and quicktime files.

Pic links not working in FF but are In IE8 on HTML page

Hi, I have an Html page that has a bunch of small pic images on it. When you click on one it display a larger version in the center of the page. For some reason they all work fine in IE8 but not Firefox only the bottom row work. The rest act as they have no link mouse does not change to the pick hand symbol. Normally I never have a problem with FF more often its IE.

That is because the TABLE in DIV with class="Object336" is overlaying that part of the screen.
You set the height of that table to 405px.
Remove that height attribute and also remove the three <br> in the last Contact us SPAN
<pre><DIV class="Object336"><TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 WIDTH=860 <b>HEIGHT=405</b>><TR><TD VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="left"><DIV CLASS="text-align:left;margin-left:0px;text-indent:0px;"><SPAN CLASS="textstyle0"> Please write if you would like to use <br>some of my pictures.

Inter links not working, any way around?

Working on Nook using Safari, uploaded PDF to acrobat.com and inter links don't work. I've read in a forum about changing to PDF/a? however I can't locate where this would be in this situation.
This is a work project, many files such as this all with inter links that serve as task completion check ins. Really would like this setup to work.

I've found that down loading the PDF file to the Nook and using Acrobat reader allows the links to work, however this is way cumbersome, any way to work on files directly on Acorbat.com?

Some web sites not working in FF but they are OK in Safari.

A couple of times lately I have had web sites not work correctly with Firefox. I need to switch to Safari to complete the tasks I needed to do. My FF is running on Mountain Lion and is up to date.
Thanks,
MJT

Hello michaeljt, the sites you have problem, is it with a lot of flash content ?
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Please reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
*Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with the left mouse key.
OR
*Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
*Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
See if this helps solve the issues you had and please report back to us!
thank you

Some page links not working when I publish iweb site to desktop folder?

I just created a photo website using iweb. All the links to pages, etc. work fine in the programme but when I go to publish it to folder to check it on a web page some of the page links don't work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
- Ricky

Even though you have deactivated the iWeb navigation menu, the navigation layer still exists and is blocking your custom links. Open the Inspector Page tab and try changing the value for Header Height to zero. See if this does anything for you. If not, then try increasing the Header Height value incrementally. This pushes the navigation layer down your page and maybe out of the way of your custom links.
Of course, there is also the question of whether you custom links are placed on the page as a header element or as a regular page element. You can put elements into the header or footer layers by holding down the Apple key while dragging the elements until you see the header/footer outline highlight in blue.
If your custom links are header elements, then increasing the header height to push the navigation layer down will probably help. If your custom links are page elements, then decreasing the header height to zero might be more likely to help.

Urgent Help! Flash Links not working on PC but fine on Mac??

I need urgent help as my client is expecting a fully working site this week and i can't seem to understand what the problem is with the site i created www.tuarard.ie. The links such as the link 'download current programme' which is on the splash page works fine on mac but not on pc. there are other various links throughout the the site as well which don't work on pc.
Could someone please help me fix this problem. i am guessing the flash in fine but that the html is causing the problems. i am a beginner in the world of html so i know very little about it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Peter

I know this is hindsight, and likely more of an opinion-based answer, but except for the original dynamic "opening" of the flash homepage there wasn't anything I saw on the pages other than the scrolling photos at the top that required flash to accomplish. Flash is cool (I use it frequently for sections of a page - banner animations, etc.), but I've found it's often more trouble than it's worth unless every section of you site will feature something amazing or compelling to use it...
It's not search engine friendly (unless all of your text is linked externally, and even then limited), the correct player needs to be loaded on the viewer's machine to view, and it opens (generally) much slower than a standard html page...
Having said that - I think the site looks great - and fits the feel of the content, (and worked fine on the mac and windows browsers I tried here...)

Some text links not working some are

I got a website I've created hosted tonight and I have one problem I cant figure out. www.northeasternprobeowners.com is the site. The problem I have is the links bar at the top of each page doesn't work. The are the same as the links on the left-hand side of the home page except they dont work. When I look at it in the Inspector>Link toolbar everything seems correct. Any ideas? Is it something to do with how the template is made? This is my first time using iWeb and other than this its been a great program. I cant wait to explore more of its features.

I got it figured out to my satisfaction. I kinda misunderstood the "include page in nav bar", "display nav bar features" so I'll be able to get good enough. I wish when I was on the home page, the home link would be "dead", past meets page the past meets link would be "dead" but its not that big a deal. Not like it the worlds greatest website. Thanks for help.
EDIT The links are "dead" when I want them to be,even better. Now I feel dumb for even asking this. lol

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
Any advice

pcmyhre,
You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Fresh Install HCM 9.1 but Links not working. Help please

Dear All,
I'm trying to make a switch from SAP to PeopleSoft. I tought it easier to install PSFT since the number of source to install is much less than SAP. However, I kept getting same error where the links not working no matter which environment I tried to install.
I downloaded all software from eDelivery.
HCM 9.1, PTOOLS 8.52, Oracle 11g 64 bit, Oracle Client 32 bit.
First Try:
Install on windows 7 64bit. Everything works fine until first login to the PSFT and all links not working.
Suggestion from Hakan is to apply the patch and gave me a link to the old FTP site. I downloaded the 85209 patch but got password.
Finally I managed to get a customer ID from a friend and downloaded Patch 85211 and applied. But got java error so I scrapped it.
Anyway, Gasparotto said the environment is not certified and will not fix my problem with the patch.
Second Try:
Installed Virtual Box.
Installed Windows 2008 R2 and applied the SP1.
Installed everything all over again.
Ensured the PTWEBSERVER password similar the username.
Everything works fine but when login to PSFT, again..... links not working and see on the bottom left corner there are some javascript error where they cannot find certain peoplesoft objects..
Just upgraded to IE 9 because I read somewhere IE 8 is not certified.
Tried to login again, no error message and everything looks fine but... links not working.
Logs also looks normal to me.
Does anyone ever encountered similar issues before?
Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?
Thanks,
aLuNa

Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?Without patch, you have the error you mentioned. How many time I told that 8.52.03 min. is required, I did not go further, but there was some bugs before which make it not working.
I understand that's rather frustrating for people who wants to jump to Peoplesoft. I don't know SAP, but here you go, Peoplesoft is not a simple toy.
Unfortunately, if you have no access to My Oracle Support to get the Peoplesoft patches, you have no way but work on Peoplesoft OVM (free of use), and to use them on VirtualBox, the Jim's articles are worth to follow.
Nicolas.
PS: @Jim, thanks for the kind words.
My last install guide is quite old now (PT8.50/Linux), even though it did not change very much within the last tools 8.52. But seeing the number of time such questions have asked over here (PT8.52 on Windows), I'm thinking to write one more, that time on Windows.

Clearly you can not update 10.9 if you do not have 10.9
It is very easy to find, it is in the App Store as the picture I posted earlier displays. Follow the same instructions. If you can't then use THIS LINK which will take you there.
The current version of 10.9 is 10.9.5 and that is what you will get.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.
