Tab key no longer moves between text fields on a web page

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.9, my Safari v. 2.0.4 (419.3) is suffering from a bizarre symptom: the tab key no longer moves the insertion point among the various single-line text-entry fields on a page, but rather inserts a tab character within the field! Shift-tab, which used to move the insertion point back one field, does nothing.
Interestingly, when in a block-text field -- such as the one I'm using to compose this message topic -- the tab key takes me to the next field as expected. It also works when the insertion point is in the URL field or Google search field in the browser interface itself. It's only when I'm typing into a web page itself that it doesn't behave properly.
Makes filling out long forms a real pain.
Surely this isn't happening to everyone, or someone else would have mentioned it ... but can anyone reproduce it? Got any suggestions for clearing it up? I'm not running any exotic Safari add-ons, just the usual complement of plug-ins, none of which seem relevant to this problem, which involves normal HTML web pages.
Thanks in advance for any help.
G4 QuickSilver 1.467GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

There were no file changes to Safari in the 10.4.9 update. There were a number of file changes to the System Library, however, these types of changes usually affect applications across-the-board. MacFixit has a special report and related issues and work-arounds on their site. Not sure if you need to be a subscribed member to see the information, however, it might be worth a look.
FWIW, I haven't seen any mention about the problem you reported on their forum, or home page report.
I suggested your marking the thread "answered" as I thought you were complete with the thread given the disappearance of the problem. I'll be curious to see who else posts a similar problem.

Why does the "TAB" key no longer work to move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8?

The "TAB" key will not move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8. You have to use the mouse to click on the new field to move the cursor.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.
This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

JSF - Read a text file and diplay lines of text data on the web page

Hello,
For one of my projects, I need to display lines of text data on the web page using Java Server Faces Technology. The raw data could be from simple text files or sockets or anything. (Getting the data is not my issue but displaying is). Could anybody send answers with sample code. In servlet, one could do this by -
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println(DATA);
out.println(DATA);
out.println("</html>");
I am looking for similar solution.
Thanks in advance
DK

Thanks mjolinor. Works great!
Two questions.
1. Could you plz suggest how this could be modified so this code would read the file in or accept it from the pipeline instead of wrapping the (@' around the data?
2. Could you plz briefly describe some of the details of the code so I can further research and understand.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot
1. It already reads in the file. The (@' .. '@) bits are just there to create a file using your test data to demonstrate that it works.
2. Not user what kind of "details" you want. There really isn't much there, and get-help on the cmdlets used should provide information on what's going on with them in that script.

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-)

When I try to reset firefox I get: Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.

Flash plugin keeps crashing. Following directions here, I tried to reset firefox and get error message "Well this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page."

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:
*bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.
*You can open the <b>about:crashes</b> page via the location bar, like you open a website, or open the crash reports page via "Help > Troubleshooting Information".
See:

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.

Since I updated to 6, my mouse wheel scrolling has become erratic, and, depending of the text size on the web page, either moves only a few lines each turn or moves several pages instead of one page as it did before on every tab. how do I fix this?

Is this a glitch or is it something to do with compatibilty?

yes, it is still happening, though I've gotten better at ignoring it.
my touchpad, i think, is an elan ps/2 port smartpad and my mouse is a microsoft basic optical mouse v2, both componants are working correctly and have the latest driver update installed.
The difference between img 1 and 2 is one scroll wheel turn down. In image 3 I have decreased the view using control - (minus) and in image 4 I have scrolled down one turn of the wheel. you can see that instead of a full page turn, like between img1 and 2, it only moves about 2/3's of the screen down. As every tab seems to have a different text size, the amount of scroll turn changes between tabs, sometimes varying as much as several pages each scroll turn.
One thing I have noticed, is that the vertical scrolling speed on my mouse settings changes the amount the pages moves when turning the wheel. This only seems to change when in firefox. changing this while using word has no effect on the page movement in word. Increasing the vertical scrolling speed will make the scroll turn move further.
I have adjusted the scroll settings in options, and no adjustment of settings, (autoscrolling on/off, smooth scrolling on/off in and combinations of off/on) has made this error stop occurring. I have checked for malware etc, no issues. This happened from the instant I upgraded to FF6, so I think there is a corrolation there.

Enter and tab keys no longer work

Good morning.
My enter and tab keys are no longer working within a text box. Could it be the result of installing "Deke Shortcuts" on my system? I never had a problem before the installation....
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.

Did you try removing the shortcuts?

Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

The simpliest method would be:
Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

Hi
I created the "read" and "update" methods in my application service. How can I call them? I created and implemented the methods just like here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/340fc0ea-0c01-0010-74bf-965b11031e77
Operations:
- readMyEntityService:
- updateMyEntityService
Implementation:
retValue = getMyEntityService().read(key);
getMyEntityService().update(dS0);
In Web Dynpro there is this update method with the code above (in my original post).
How can I call the update-method????????
Kind regards
Bettina

Trying to use web app text field to redirect a page.

I am trying to create a web app, that will provide 'members' with a page that they can use to redirect to other pages of their choice. What I want to do is allow the member user to select (from a dropdown menu, or even input their own into a text field) a specific url (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/myfacebookpage) on their customer page. Once they select the url they want, and save their info, that url will be used in a redirect page, (i.e. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url={tag_redirectURL}"> or something to that effect. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to do it? Ultimately, I want the user to be able to change on the fly where someone goes when they share their user link with a friend (i.e. http://www.mywebsite.com/userpage/ will take someone to a facebook page or to a youtube video, or some other page they redirect to) so they can switch it on their own when they choose to.

Hi Scott,
You could create a web app which as a text (string) field in it for customers to enter the URL they want to redirect the customers to. Then place a JavaScript redirect inside the detailed layout, which would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Give them access to secure zone, place a web app item creation form onto it and you're good to go.
Cheers,
mario
