  • JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog: Tabbing between options creates wrong result

    In JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog, when pressing <tab> to move between options and then pressing <Enter> I always get a returned zero (0) no matter which button is in focus. Is this a (known) bug or am I stupid?
    I run the following code.
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TabOptions
    public static void main (String [] args)
         int n = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog (null, "Use <Tab> to shift option-button, then press <Enter>. " +
                             "I'll write the returned value to sdt out.");
         System.out.println ("Returned value: " + n);
    }

    import javax.swing.*;
    class TabOptions
    public static void main (String [] args)
    UIManager.put("Button.defaultButtonFollowsFocus", Boolean.TRUE);//<--------------------
    int n = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog (null, "Use <Tab> to shift option-button, then press <Enter>. " +
    "I'll write the returned value to sdt out.");
    System.out.println ("Returned value: " + n);

  • Tabbing between options on a pop up box

    Can anyone tell me if there is a keyboard shortcut that allows me to switch between...erm... finding this hard to explain....
    Ok if I want to restart themac I hold eject and ctrl and the restart, Sleep, cancel, and shutdown are shown with shutdown highlighted in blue, but I can't find a keyboard short cut to tab back to cancel, or restart etc so end up reaching for the mouse... I'm sure it's really obvious but it's driving me nuts.
    Can anyone shed some light.

    Truthfully you lost me on that "erm" thing.
    It's best to do our "erming" before posting and then post a concise and exact question with technical details and not so much other stuff.
    These are user-to-user forums and we are all unpaid volunteers who wish to read salient and terse posts quickly and try to assuage the issue.
    I am sure you understand.

  • When alt + tab between applications firefox freezes to a black blank screen and will not move. The only response it will allow is the close option after right clicking on the task bar in English

    I normally have several applications running at the same time, some of them are running 24/7/365.
    When accessing the applications its easier to alt+tab between them. On the occasions that I can actually get Firefox to open and stay open it always freezes and remains immovable on the screen after switching to another program.
    Firefox goes black except for the border and the close button at the top right. The other buttons disappear. Even after waiting for a period of time it does not clear.
    The freeze can occur either on the first switch or second switch. However, it always happens.

    Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

  • Text entry fields not able to tab between 2 fields

    Hi there,
    I have placed 2 text entry fields that are for username & a password, I on publish/preview, I type the username and go to hit the TAB key to move to the password field but nothing happens & cursor does not move to the other field...
    I did try a quick search for this question as I thought it must of happened before to others, but could not find what I needed..the answer ;-)
    Kind Regards

    DOH! I just found some more information on tabbing between these fields, so will check that out fisrt........must be Friday (over here)

    Hi There,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum.
    Have you tried using the shortcut option assigned as "Tab" in the action properties of the text entry box as shown in the following image:

  • I can no longer tab between cells in a table with pages 5.0.

    I use pages everyday for filling in my work booking sheets. I need to have them synching to the cloud, so I can access the client information while on the road.
    My booking sheet is basically a large table with many cells for name, address, phone number, etc. In pages 4.3 I could enter some information into the cell, hit the tab button, and it would go straight to the next cell in the table. This was a quick and easy way for me to fill out my forms on the computer.
    Well, since the update, the tab button only moves the cursor over in the same cell, as opposed to the next cell. It is VERY rare to need to tab in a cell, as opposed to going to the next cell.
    I did figure out that I could Option+ Tab to move to the next cell, but it is very hard to change my procedure of tabbing after all this timing doing it the other way.
    Am I just missing a preferance to tab between cells, instead of inside a cell?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Option-tab makes sense and can be done with the left hand's thumb/forefinger.
    Using tab was always arse-backwards as it defeated the use of tab within the table cell.
    Best to use both for what they always do:
    Option tab or an arrow key (singular) to jump cells
    tab to jump to the next tab in the text wherever it is within or without cells.
    The contrary precedence was set by Microsoft and was a bad idea. In good UI you do not have shortucts reverse roles such that you need to pay excessive attention to the context.

  • I don't have an Encrytion tab under options. Can this be fixed? If not, how would I access this?

    When I go to Options to Advanced tab, there is no Encryption tab between Update and Certificates. How would I access the encryption info?

    I don't remember seeing an Encryption tab there in recent years. What information are you looking for on that tab? It's probably available somewhere else.
    If you want to know about the current page, click the padlock in the address bar, then More Information to call up the Security panel of the Page Info dialog. There you can get the details on the certificate used by the site.

  • Even though block popup windows is unchecked in content tab of options, I am still not getting any popups. Please help me.

    Hi - Even though block popup windows is unchecked in content tab of options, I am still not getting any popups. Please suggest how to over come this problem.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    Did you make sure that your security software isn't blocking the pop-ups?
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

  • Rather than go to the home page I have specified in the General tab of Options in the Tools menu, Firefox keeps going to a truncated version of this url.

    I have used the following URL as my firefox home page for quite some time:
    https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search
    Several months ago, malware of some sort replaced this url with one of their own. I got rid of the malware and put back my original home page, but I'm continuing have a problem: Every time firefox goes to my home page, rather than using the whole url that I've specified, firefox truncates this url to just the first 87 characters, and goes to this truncated url instead:
    https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+
    Not only is this not the url that I have specified in the General tab under Options in the Tools menu, I always get an error message in an additional tab whenever Firefox goes to this truncated version of my home page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get firefox to use the entire url I have specified as my home page in the General Tab under Options?
    I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I noticed that prefs.js includes two other user prefs related to the home page in addition to the one that identifies the url I chose:
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search");
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20130617145905");
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "22.0");

    You need to escape the pipe character as %7c if you want to include it in the URL

  • I am using firefox 3.6.23 on my old computer, I have a new laptop that I would like to transfer the bookmarks from the old to the new, but the old computers firefox does not have the sync tab under options, what now?

    I have a tower running windows XP, using Firefox 3.6.23. I have a new laptop running windows 7. I have just downloaded firefox 7. Now I want to bring the bookmarks form my old tower computer using firefox 3.6.23 to the new laptop using firefox 7.0. I got the instruction on how to sync the two computers, but I cannot find the sync tab under options in the firefox 3.6.23 computer. Will upgrading the tower's firefox to a newer version give me the sync tab under options?

    With firefox 3.6 I think you may have had to use sync as a separate add-on. If so try finding and installing that. Alternativly export your bookmarks from Firefox 3.6, then move that file, using any suitable method (eg removable media, email atacchment, computer network) to somewhere the new laptop can access it and imprt the bookmarks. Remember
    * back up your bookmarks (on both machines) before doing anything
    * importing standard firefox bookmarks overwwrites existing bookmarks
    * (if you just have a few bookmarks on one machine, consider exporting as HTML, when you import those they will append, instead of overwriting the existing files)
    See
    * [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    * [[backing up your information]]

  • How do I share tabs between my different Firefox installations using the new Firefox Accounts system?

    I am using Firefox Nightly (30.a1, 2014-02-18, x64) on my laptop computer (Windows 8.1 Pro x64) and I was using Firefox Beta on my Nexus 5 (Android 4.4.2). Recently, Mozilla announced the new Firefox Accounts system (which is replacing the old Firefox Sync Account) and I created a Firefox Account for my laptop Nightly installation. Since the new Firefox Account doesn't work with the old Firefox Sync Account, I replaced my Android installation of Firefox Beta with Firefox Nightly and signed into Firefox Account on my Android. However, when I attempt to send a tab from my Android installation to my laptop installation using the "Share to Nightly" intent, Nightly asks me to set up a Sync account, which is impossible to complete in my laptop Nightly installation. I've tried replacing my Android Nightly installation with an Android Aurora installation, but the same problem occurs.
    What's worse is that even with both my laptop and Android installations signed into the same Firefox Account, I cannot see any information being synced between the 2 installations. No history is being shared, and I cannot see the open tabs list from the other device. I cannot pass tabs between my phone and my laptop, which is something I used every week as I visited websites and read my RSS feeds on my phone. Does anyone know how to share tabs using the new Firefox Accounts? Does anyone know why Firefox Accounts does not seem to be syncing data between my 2 installations?

    Unfortunately with further investigation, Roland informed me that share tab was removed[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965811]

  • Why do some computers running Firefox 6.02 only display 5 or 6 applications in the "applications" tab under "options" and others show about 25?

    I am running Firefox 6.0.2 on several computers and on several of them the applications tab under "options" only shows 5 or 6 applications while another shows 20-25 applications including PDF which is what I am interested in. How can I get applications to appear on this menu?
    All of the computers in questions are running Windows XP Pro. On the computer with the limited menu if I attempt to download a PDF copy of my bank statement Mozilla opens the PDF rather than opening it with my PDF program. If I attempt to save the file or print it, Mozilla crashes. On the computer which lists all of the apps on the application tab the PDF opens normally using the program which I have selected for opening that file type.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Command-tab between Safari and another application

    When I command-tab between Safari and another application such as Word, when I return to Safari I am on a different web page.  When I use History to return to the page I want, I have to sign back in again.  How can I fix this?

    It's CS4 6.0.3 on OSX.
    The other application is a web app in development.
    My guess now is Flash compiles the fonts and it sees Antihistory regular as Antihistory book and our website is expecting regular.

  • Auto-tabbing between input text fields in AS3

    Hello-
    I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing will help tremendously.  All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class.  Also, I've been working with AS3 for about 2 weeks lol!
    thanks!

    Awesome, thank you, that works nicely! Now I need to figure out how to capture individual keyCodes for each input and then come up with a conditional to check for right or wrong answers. I have a "check your answers" button all set up. I think I am almost there, possibly a syntax hiccup for me. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.

  • Tab between two textFields

    I have two text fields for entering numeric data and would like to touch the first and key in a number then hit the next key on the keyboard and go to the next text field to enter a number there also. As it is, when I type in the number on the first text field, i have "next" in the bottom right. When I touch "next" the keyboard disappears. If I go to the second text field and key in the number I have "done" in the bottom right that when touched makes the keyboard disappear.
    Is it possible to set this up that after the number is keyed in the first text field I can touch next and it send me to the second text field? And, after keying the number in the second text field I can click "go" or something that will trigger the "calculate" button i've implemented?
    I've searched for an hour and a half through all the developer section and didn't find anything other than "Enable Tabbing Between Text Fields" in a tutorial, but its for a desktop and not iphone.
    Any advice is appreciated!-)
    Also, is there a numeric keypad that can be called instead of the regular qwerty?
    Thanks sooo much,
    Jazmyn

    Anyone, please.
