Using Find in Safari makes current page "stuck"

Note: Using Safari 6.1 on Lion 10.7.5, Late 2011 Macbook Pro 17 inch 2.5GHz
Frequently when I use Safari's Find command, it will cause a strange bug to happen.
It seems like the webpage I'm viewing is replaced by an image of the page. Scrolling moves the scroll bar but the display doesn't change. (Sometimes a thin strip of the page, where the Find bar was, will change as I scroll, but usually not).
Cycling through the Find command will highlight my search term at seemingly random areas on the screen.
When this happens, none of the links on the page are active anymore - it's as if the whole thing is one large image that can't be saved.
Refreshing or typing a new URL in the address bar changes the data displayed in the Web Inspector, but the visual component remains the same as before. Sometimes a new tab or new browser window will function as expected. Sometimes those will show the same thing and require me to quit and relaunch safari before a new webpage can be accessed.
The only browser extension I use is AdBlock, and this happens with or without the extension installed.
Has anyone run into this before? Is there a fix?
Thanks!
Oh, and it's been happening for at least a month. I forget when it first started... probably last time I updated Safari.
And I can't upgrade to Mavericks and try the new Safari until I get the firmware on my primary hard drive updated, which apparently requires me to remove the drive and pop it into a windows box.

Using PHP to identify the current page - by David Powers

Hi There,
I'm trying to write a script so I can identify the sub-pages under "Gallery" in my website
Under Gallery I have more than hundred pages describing the photos but I want to identify them as the "Gallery" page.
How do I achieve that?
It would be tedious to write the "PHP if" statement for each photo link.
I trust there is a simpler solution.
In PHP solutions by David Powers, Ch.4 "Using PHP to identify the current page"
The script is:
<?php $currentPage = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']); ?>
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="index.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'index02.php') {echo 'id="here"';} ?>>Home</a></li>
<li><a href="journal.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'journal.php') {echo 'id="here"';} ?>>Journal</a></li>
<li><a href="gallery.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'gallery.php') {echo 'id="here"';} ?>>Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'contact.php') {echo 'id="here"';} ?>>Contact</a></li>
</ul>
Let's say that the gallery pages contains hundreds of links gallery like gallery/photos1.php, gallery/photos2.php, gallery/photos3.php, gallery/photos4.php, gallery/photos5.php, gallery/photos6.php, gallery/photos7.php etc...
How would I identify the sub-pages so when we are there Gallery is highlighted?
Thank you!
Best,

Hello Siddhardha,
To get the details of a process you need to use Locator class from BPEL api. You can locate your process by listInstances method which accepts WhereCondition parameter used to build a query on process instances. Once you've found the process you were looking for you can use getAuditTrail method to retrieve audit trail of a given instance. You can also use setStatus() method from a BPELX java exec tag within your process and later retrieve it from instance handle by getStatus method.
A sample snippet to retrieve instance handles to all child processes of a given process:
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
Locator locator = new Locator(domain,domainpassword);
WhereCondition wc = new WhereCondition();
String query = sb.append(SQLDefs.AL_ci_root_id).append(" = ? ").toString();
wc.append(query);
wc.setLong(1,parentInstance);
IInstanceHandle[] ih = locator.listInstances(wc);
You can read more about querying processes on http://blogs.oracle.com/matt/2006/06/27?print-friendly=true

Using body id= to highlight current page on nav bar

Hi all, using the method of giving the body tag an id to set
the current page on the nav bar, works all very well. however, this
is no good if you are working from a template as it would mean the
<body> being editable on each page (so most of the content
then)....am I right? or am I missing something blindingly obvious
here which will allow me to change the <body>...
many thanks - didn't really want to use the javascript method
you see!

ideally, you wouldn't actually link the item on the menu of
the page you are
currently on. This is a usability/accessibility thing. If you
do that, then
you can simply style non-linked items on the menu differently
to highlight
that page.
That said, it's often not a practical solution if you are
using SSIs to load
the menu.
In that case, you could just add the Class to a wrapper DIV,
or to the menu
itself:
<div id="myMenu" class="contactPage">
<div id="myMenu" class="aboutPage">
<div id="myMenu" class="productsPage">
etc.
OR, alternatively, give each meny item it's own class and
then over-ride
that one particular class style in the HEAD of each
individual page. That
said, I'm not sure how well the latter would work with DW
templates.

I try to log in icloud to check if I can use Find my Iphone but the page doesn't work. There appears that trusted certificate is not valid. I want to know why...

I have a Iphone 5 with IOS 7

If you are using mobile safari on the iphone to access icloud.com, then that won't work. Mobile safari can't log into icloud.com
What you need is the Find My iPhone app at the app store. It's free. Download it and use that.

How do I determine whether the current page in Forms is the last page.

I have a requirement of printing amount in words using SPELL_AMOUNT Funtion Module, in SAP Scripts.
When I have only one Item Line, I am able to successfully, print the amount.
The moment i have line items pouring to the next page, I see that the I am unable to retrieve the spelled amount from the Function Module.
I think may be i need to find out if the current page is the last page, and if it is so, print the amount on the last page, .i.e., the page where the item lines have overflowed to. How do i find this out.
Can anybody, suggest something.
Regards,
Owais...

I wonder if you could do something like this. Wrap your logic with this IF statement.
/: IF &PAGE& = &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES&
/: ENDIF

Error with master page "insert current page number" when exporting book

Using InDesign CS 5.5 for Windows
Recently upgraded from InDesign CS (the really old one from 2003). I did save a copy of all my old version files and kept the old ID installed just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).
In my old version of ID, I created a book made up of about 70 documents. Some of these documents are one page, others have multiple pages. In the multiple page documents, I used the "insert ... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a master page, and formatted it to read, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book to a pdf, it worked fine. (I do not want/have consecutive page numbers throughout the book, only in individual documents. By this I mean my entire book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, just the groups of pages from these multi-page documents. It doesn't read page 1 through 280.)
Got my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago, added some documents to the book, and (if i remember right) when I saved the book it asked to convert every old version document to the new version, which I said okay. When I exported the book to a pdf, some documents that are longer than 2 pages are now numbered wrong; the numbers are now going like this: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 3), Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 4), etc. Every page but page 1 is now page 2 of whatever.
If I open the individual document and export it to pdf, the page numbers work fine. It's only when the document is exported with the book that the page numbers mess up. And it's not all the documents in my book; this error starts at a particular document and continues from that point throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document longer than 2 pages. Multi-page documents before this point in the book export with the correct page numbers.
I create new documents by doing a "save as" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I'm not having to reformat or set up page numbers on each new document. I don't use layers or styles (I'm sure there's a better way to do what I need, but I've only had time learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)
My attempts to fix this so far (using version 5.5), testing with the first document where the error appears: (1) I've removed the document from the book, deleted the insert current page number character, re-entered the insert current page number character, saved, exported the individual document to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (2) I took the document out of the book again, exported the document to .idml, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (3) I started up my old ID version, opened the old version of this document, exported to .inx, closed, opened .inx in ID 5.5, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (4) I moved the document up in the book order, putting it above a document that has correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to pdf, and this document was still wrong, but the one that has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I've compared settings for this document to others that number correctly and cannot find any difference.
It's like the page numbers get hung on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry it's so lengthy, but I hope this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than going back to my old version documents and starting over?
Thanks for your time and for all the awesome information this forum provides!

Mr. Spier
Right after I posted my question, I saw a post from last year where somebody had similar problems. (I cringed because I spent almost 3 days researching this problem and never ran across that post; thanks for not scolding me for posting a semi re-run.) I decided to try one of the easier solutions: I opened the problem document from the book panel, went to the master page and deleted the text box containing the page number, copied the page number box from a document that worked correctly, and pasted it into the problem document. Saved that doc, closed, saved book, exported to pdf, and it worked!! The page number problem was fixed. I went back and did the same thing for the other problem documents and they all number correctly now.
Probably not the best way, but for now this will fix it; I may have to do it again next time I add to the book. Although I didn't follow your instructions, I'll mark this as answered since it's working now. If it keeps giving me problems, I'll try the .inx export/new book route.
thanks for your time

In the Customize Toolbar I was unable to find some useful buttons like New Tab or Reload Current Page. Will they be added?

I have nothing to add

You can't have an icon twice. The "reload current page" is on the right of the location toolbar and the "New tab" icon is on the right of the tab toolbar.
You can move them to the "Customize toolbar" window or any other place in any toolbar.

Finding the PageID of the Current page

Hi,
I read somewhere that there is a hidden field which can be used to determine what the pageid of the current page is, but I cannot find what it is. I need to know what current page I'm on to dynamically build a page. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Did you ever find an answer to this question. I'm stuck here too. Thanks

Safari 5.1: Can't make Bookmarks page the Homepage any more?

With Safari 5.0, in General Prefrences, I had typed in "bookmarks:" as my homepage, which allowed me to type Shift-CMD-H or click the Home button to return to a window with all my bookmarks listed, ready to be clicked again.
With Safari 5.1, inserting "bookmarks:" just brings up a blank page (although opening a new window with CMD-N will bring it). When on my Bookmarks page, the "Set to current page" isn't selectable in the General Preferences.
So somewhere along the line, the link to the bookmarks file has been changed. Does anyone now know what I need to type in to make it findable again by Safari?
Many thanks.
David
(using 10.6.8, not Lion!)

Hi H_Starman,
thanks for your reply but unfortunately that wasn't the problem.
I do already have "Bookmarks" selected in both "New windows open with ..." and "New tabs open with ..." but below that, the "Homepage:" box, I used to have "Bookmarks:" typed in there which linked the Home button on the Toolbar (or if I typed Shift-CMD-H) to my bookmarks directly. Typying in "bookmarks:" now in this box in 5.1 doesn't work (a blank page now appears) so I'm looking for the correct "link" to insert there. Any ideas?
Thanks again
David

Find button on toolbar won't search current page

Post Author: sarasew13
CA Forum: .NET
I'm having an issue with the Find button on the standard report viewer toolbar for ASP. When I enter a search term and click on find, it starts searching on the next page even though there are entries (several) that match on the current page.
I found one mention on the internet that says it only searches forward (if you search from page 5 you won't get the entry on page 2) which is fine. However, this keeps the user from searching from page 1 (for example) when they are on page 1. If this is forward only (and that was only mentioned on a site not related to Microsoft or Crystal) then shouldn't it still look on the current page?
Anyone else have this issue?
Sara

Yes. I'm using Crystal Reports for VS 2005 (ASP.NET). I don't see much written about this issue, but it sure annoys me, and my users won't like it either. Unless there is a better alternative, I'll remove the Find feature from the reports completely so that I don't have to deal with user complaints. They can use the browser Find to search a page at a time, or export the report and search using the exported format's application.

Getting the number of pages in excel sheet or current page using OLE2

Hi,
I fill an excel sheet using CLIENT_OLE2 from Oracle 10g form,
I want to get the number of pages in sheet or the number of current page,
after searching for solution I found this example on VB:
Sub GetPageCount()
Dim iView As Integer
Dim iHorizontalBreaks As Integer
Dim iVerticalBreaks As Integer
Dim iPageCount As Integer
On Error Resume Next
'go to the range and set PrintArea to the range name
Application.Goto Reference:="ABC"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
'turn monitor flickering/updating off
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'remember current View setting
iView = Application.ActiveWindow.View
'refresh the print area
Application.ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview
'set view back
Application.ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
'turn monitor flickering/updating back on
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'calculate the # of pages
iHorizontalBreaks = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Count + 1
iVerticalBreaks = ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks.Count + 1
iPageCount = iHorizontalBreaks * iVerticalBreaks
How can I implement this using CLIENT_OLE2?
Any assistance would be welcome.
Thanks

IF all the panels were exactly the same width (highly doubtful for a roll-fold) and IF ID supported 12 pages per spread (it doesn't) then it might be less work to make 12-page spreads and place the PDF twice, but since I think there's a really good chance you'll need to adjust the positioning for at least 22 pages, that seems doomed.
I wouldn't even bother, in this case, with facing pages. Presumably they want this for the screen, so there's nothing gained from facing pages or multiple columns. You can either make the file with 24 pages and place the PDF 12 times for each page of the PDF, or place each page of the PDF once in a 2-page file, then copy the pages and reposition the image in the frame for each panel. The big thing here is to put the PDF into frames that are the same size as the new page (so they get cropped down to one-panel on each page). Then it's just a case of sliding the the PDF left or right in the frame to expose the next panel.

Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
You'll find it here :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
where ~ is your Home directory.
If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".
