Weird box in IE PC

When Rick Vandivier's site is displayed on a PC in Internet Explorer, a weird box appears out of nowhere that doesn't connect with anything I can find on the design page in iWeb. How can I get this to display properly?
You can see the issue by downloading the files: "Rick Bad" and Rick Correct" at http://homepage.mac.com/allanrockart/Sharing/FileSharing18.html
Please help.

Evidently no one else does this. Any ideas at all by anyone as to what I can try next?

Weird box where apostrophe should be!

In IE, I've got this weird box where the apostrophe should
be.
For example, I'm seeing it in this page, in the second
paragraph, in the word "haven't".
http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_images.htm
Originally the pages were created in MS word and saved as a
web page. Cleaning up word HTML doesn't seem to help my problem.
Any Ideas?

It's probably a curly quote pasted in from Word. Please
replace with the
proper HTML entities, e.g.,
<p>Haven’t you seen him?</p>

IWeb Publishing weird boxes

When I publish my iweb site, I am getting weird boxes on each page. They do not show up in iWeb, but do show up after published on Firefox, Safari, and IE. I have tried publishing my iweb site with both the built in FTP client and Cyberduck and have the same issue with both. The issue is on all the pages, but pictures mask it on some. Please take a look at my site.

Any thoughts?

Do a Command A in iWeb to Show All. Drag your objects aside to see what's lying underneath.
Also note that almost all your text has been converted to an image due to adding the drop shadow. This means that the SEO spiders cannot crawl and index this text.
Use web-safe fonts and turn on the Text Imaging Indicator in iWeb preferences.

What is this weird box?

So I opened up idvd and this weird box showed up, I have no idea what it is or what it does. I want to know how to get rid of it. I've tried restarting it and it didn't work. How can I fix this?

Hi
It is called TV-Safety area and was a function when making DVDs that was to be played on old CRT-TVs (not flat screens) and as they only show the central part of the picture (called over-scann) one needed a guid to not let text and other things disappear outside the TV-frame.
BUT THERE ARE one more thing to this.
Even if it should not be nessessary to keep inside these borders there are sort of BUG in iDVD so if texts, pictures etc touches this bodraries or pass it - RATHER often an ERROR MESSAGE appears that there is
MULTIPLEXING ERROR
So by keeping all well inside this area - It will be so much easier to get a good and functioning VIDEO-DVD as result.

Why are there weird boxes around text in the Apple apps I use in mavericks?

After I updated to Mavericks I noticed these weird grey boxes that appear around the text in some of the Apple-made apps I use lime Pages, Reminders, etc. Also, in a finder window, whenever some of my tabs are open, the tab's colour is different from that of the header of the window. I checked other people macs which has mavericks but none of them had the same problem. Here are a few images of my problems:

So nobody else has seen this problem? Is that the gist I'm getting?

Weird box on desk top from ICal Info Window when using Expose

Whenever I use the info Window in iCal to enter some text in the Notes area, if I don't remember to click on the main window, or pretty much any other place in iCal afterward then when I use Expose to go to the desk top I end up with this wierd rectangle or square (composed of a thin white line) exactly the size of the text that I'd entered in the Notes section that is exactly the size of the text.
Is there any fix for this? Tiger is so appealing to the eye over all, one of the things I love about Mac, and that seems like a weird, ugly little glitch.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Michael

No, but I tried what you were saying and then yes, I see the little box that was around what I was typing in Notes is still on the desktop when I hit the F11 key. Cheers!

Strange letters and weird boxes around dialog boxes

Hello!
I'm wondering what might cause something like this:
mkdir text
ls
text
rm text/
rm: cannot remove Ètext/È: Is a directory
The commands doesn't matter, just the end right there. The text looks weird and everything. It shows like this in other places as well but I just made this example up.
And if there is a dialog box it will have a line that consists of the same kind of letters, not a straight line.
How do I fix this?

Timelaw, being new and needing to learn is fine, but you will be expected to do some of your own research.
JWR linked to an article about how to ask questions in a manner that will yeild useful results. One of the underlying themes - and even one of the specific examples - describes someone being given advice on a forum when they are told to check the value of some setting (like, say, $TERM). The bad response described in that article is to immediately respond "What is TERM?".
We are here to help solve your problem, but we are not here to reiterate basic facts that could be found through a 5 second google search. Google "Linux TERM" or "WM DE" and I have no doubt the first results will tell you exactly what these are - then we can focus on solving the actual problem, rather than the trivialities which you are certainly capable of determining without help.
Please actually read the article JWR linked to. You can keep your eye out for the short example on a "stuck zentry" for the example I'm referring to.
I did google the DE and WM thing but I didn't found anything that related to the matter. I guess I did it with other keywords or something. (What I googled was "WM/DE means/meaning" etc)
I did check the link, and I have it here in a seperate tab, reading bits as I keep going. If it looked like I didn't care, that's not the case.
Also, when I wrote $TERM in the console it said
-bash: linux: command not found
And now when I have googled, it said that linux is the most common thing the variable is set to, in new systems etc, and I suppose that is why it says linux there?
Also, I'm quite busy with a lot of stuff and I'm trying to fix this issue with my Arch when I have spare time, and so I wrote this in the hope that I could get it explained until I actually had time to look at this again.
I'm sorry for the trouble.

Weird boxes in code view from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver MX

I have Dreamweaver 8 and my coworker has Dreamweaver MX. I
have an XML document save from Dreamweaver 8. When the document is
opened in Dreamweaver MX, there are alot of little boxes thrown in
throughout the code. For example commented code has a box after
each letter and each new line of code has a box at the start.
Here's an example of what I mean. (I will use "O " instead of
a box, because I don't know how to insert a box)
Dreamweaver 8:

Dreamweaver MX:
O<O!O-O-OHOeOlOloO OtOhOiOsO OiOsO OmOyO OcOoOdOeO
O-O-O>
As you can see this make the code virtually unreadable.
Does anyone know a way around this issue?
Thanks

I figured it out myself. For anyone else that encounters this
problem the solution is to. Open the document in WordPad and then
save it as a "text document". Then reopen it in Dreamweaver MX and
the little boxes are gone.

I've been working with documents in pages and recently downloaded word for mac. i open the pages documents and they appear to be corrupt. at least, a lot of the font is now in weird boxed pictures. what do i do?

I've been working with documents in Pages and recently downloaded Word for Mac. Upon opening Pages documents with Pages, the documents appear corrupt. Much of the font has been replaced with boxed little pictures - yet they are identified as times new roman. What do I do?

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

IWeb 3.03 and Firefox 4 weird boxes around images

Just built a small site (keepourcityclean (dot) org) but for some reason it looks good on Safari but not on Firefox. There are strange boxes and
lines around images that are obviously indicative of the formatting that iWeb uses, but why doesn't it work across all browsers? Is there a fix?

Not all browsers display a site the same because they implement web standards differently. Tried to log onto you site but it wouldn't load. Just kept the loading wheel going and going and going.
However, this tutorial might be of some help: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single JPG Image. It certainly will help in making sites more compatible with Internet Explorer and older versions of Firefox.
Since the http://keepourcityclean.org/Home.html won't load maybe you could take screenshots of the boxes in Firefox and post them in a reply.

Gaussian blur does not blur all the way creating a weird box

hi when i apply a gaussian blur to an object it is confined within a box....anyway to fix this?
thanks

Yes in the Document raster effects setting under Effects there is a input filed that says Add (pixel input field) Around Object.
change that to something like 60 pixels or higher the is no preview of it but after hitting ok it will be smoother like the screen shot.
I got it to preview by reopening the dialog after already applying the new setting. The setting is sticky so it looks like it was alsopreviewed.
this tip is thanks to one of Mordy Goldings blogs!

Weird box that wont go away

I have mac os x Tiger, and one day when i booted up my iBook G4 a black box outline showed up. This box seems to change to whatever link i clicked last and will show up over it. I believe it's something with the system, because it shows up in all of my programs.
What is this box? please help. It's bugging me to no end.
Power Mac G5 2.0

Esteban,
I suspect that VoiceOver has been activated.
Go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Seeing>VoiceOver: (Click) Off

Weird box when i call

So whenever I am on the phone, whether i called out or received a call, there is a box
with five diagonal plus signs in it on the top left of my screen, next to the volume.
what doesit mean??? its been there over a week and i have NO clue why.
it goes away when i hang up.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!

That sounds like the Enhance Call Audio feature. To turn it off hit the green telephone button, then hit the menu button and choose Options. Next go into General Options and change the Enhance Call Audio to Normal

This weird box keeps popping up on my homepage--

It says:
Allow this website to use additional space on your disk?
The website Google.comis requesting 10 MB of disk space to store (email address) as a database on your disk. Currently the website is allowed to use 5 MB of disk space.
Then one box to click DON'T ALLOW and ALLOW
What is this. I sure don't trust it? Like Google needs space on my Mac. Anyone else run into this?

It's a normal feature of Safari when visiting an HTML5 site. You can change the amount of data that sites are allowed to store in Safari > Preferences > Advanced. You can delete the stored data in Safari > Preferences > Privacy.

Every song skips once during play, for ~0.5 seconds; weird box?!

For some reason, ever since I installed a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro and transferred the user account from the old to the new, whenever an song is playing in iTunes it will freeze the song for less than a second and then continue playing.
It is as if the song is on a CD, and the CD skips hesitantly then picks back up; very strange.
During this blip, an unknown modal dialog window pops up with no information and then promptly disappears. I wish I could get a screenshot, but it is so quick there is no way to get it in time.
Any clues? My library is still in exactly the same place as before, under the same username (checked in settings, everything is fine).

I'm having a similar issue. I got a new MBP and used my iPod as the transfer device to move my iTunes folder from one computer to the next. Some songs skip for a fraction of a second (and it will do this at the same time each time you try to play the song) and other times it will play anywhere from 4 to 30 seconds of a song and then skip the rest and move on to the next song. I do NOT have any widgets or plugins installed. This is a new unmolested MBP!
This is driving me nuts! I've resorted to listening to kcscradio.com in the iTunes radio section...its a great station but still...I'd appreciate it if iTunes would work properly.
