Weird javascript problem with IE

on this page:
http://www.webtrans1.com/folio
when you click on a thumbnail on the left, the background
around the thumbnail should switch to
grey. So that whichever thumbnail is selected has a grey
background, while the others have a white
background.
This works in FireFox on XP, but not in IE7.
On Mac, it works in Safari, FireFox and Opera.
the switch to grey is using Dreamweaver change property
behavior, and in the links are like this:
<a href="#"
onClick="MM_changeProp('di1','','style.backgroundColor','#ccc','DIV');return
false;">
But there is lots of javascript in the page, some of which I
wrote myself... And I'm not a js expert.
while googling about this problem, I found lots of references
to a 'memory leek' issue with IE and
JS, but what I read went over my head, I don't know if that
could be the issue... Can somebody
suggest a solution?

but FF

Weird display problem with iMac 24"

Hi guys, I have a very weird problem with my 24" iMac. For some reason it seems that after approx. 10 minutes using the Mac, whenever I keep a window on top of another window and then I minimize it, it keeps there like a ghost for another 5-10 seconds until it fades away slowly slowly.
Sometimes it's hard to see it however it's very evident when using a white window (such as Safari) on a dark background (not black).
I'm attaching an image split into 2 parts, the 2nd part is shot exactly after I minimised the browser. It clearly shows a faded ghost image on the grey Photoshop canvas.
Here's the pic:
http://www.neilazzopardi.com/imac.jpg
Has anyone ever experienced a problem similar to mine? or am I getting paranoid?
By the way, I bought this Mac, 5 months ago and I don't know whether this problem has been there from the beginning but I only noticed recently while cropping in Photoshop and still seeing the parts I removed away very faded.

den.thed it's not that I took it the wrong way or anything but shouldn't I be doing whatever I like with my iMac?
For the record that is a dark grey Photoshop canvas, which just happens to show the problem much more evidently.
The problem is that it happens on any background (even desktop) with any window, even Adium etc. Their ghost just stays there for a while... I use the iMac for design purposes and it's very annoying especially when cropping a picture and what I just cut out stays there very faded...

Javascript problem with "opener" object

Hello again,
In my quest to reuse some automatic generated bsp code to my own advantage, i encounter a problem with the javascript "opener" object.
I open a new window(win2) for a value help, this should return a value to the calling window(win1). It does so by calling a function in win1. My problem is that i get an error, stating that access to win1 is denied.
opener.focus() works: it sets focus on win1
so the opener object seems fine, pointing to the richt window
opener.functionWin1() does not work:
when i want to call a function from win1 i get the message "access denied", this also happens when i want for instance call a propertie of win1 with for example alert(opener.location);
Does anybody know if there is a special parameter i should set, before i can call functions on the opener page? Or has anybody encountered the same pronlem?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.

If you want to set a input field value from a value help page you can write a JS function in the value help page itself, which will take of populating the field in the root page.
See this example script:
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
          function fun()
               s=window.opener;
               txt=s.document.getElementById("<input filed id of the parent page>");
               if ( document.form1.row_sel1.value )
               txt.value = document.form1.row_sel1.value;
               window.close();
    </script>
</head>

Weird intermittent problems with itunes

I had problems with info getting greyed out when looking at music library. One data field was greyed out and this occurred intermittently throughout the library.
So the only way I could fix it was to edit the data entry, add a space at the end of it and press enter. Then go back and re-edit it and remove the space.
I also had problems trying to edit data in the data fields. The data field kept getting reset to what was in there after editing and erasing the info in the data field. This happened for about half an hour. Each edit was undone.
Is this just a problem with version 7.2? Seems that a lot of weird problems occured after upgrading to that version. Now that a newer version has come out, I hope the issues will be gone.

I also had strange problems with Itunes saying I did not have access or something to convert some files to other formats. I checked the library folder and the files and had the proper priviledges to access the files. However, Itunes refused to let me convert the files so I had to run quicktime which converted the files without a hitch.

Javascript problem with Internet Explorer 6

Hi together
I have a problem with IE6 on a JSP page. I want to disable a HTML button calls
'fehlerdetails' if one of radiobutton list has a value "FIID NOK".
This Java script sample below is running with Netscape 7.0 but Internet Explorer get no objects back.
Has everyone a idea how can I read a value from list:
document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked[i]
with Internet Explorer 6??
HTML Radiobutton (Struts):
<html:radio styleClass="radioButton" name="GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean" onclick="checkAccountNr();" property="checked" value="<%= String.valueOf(j) %>">
</html:radio>
HTML Button:
<td><input class='pushbuttonlarge' type="button" value="fehlerdetails" onClick="document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.submit();" name="fehlerdetails"/></td>
Javascript:
function checkAccountNr() {
     document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.fehlerdetails.disabled = false;
     var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;
     if(document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked > 0) {
          for(i=0; i < radioButtons.length; i++) {
               if(radioButtons.checked) {
                    radioButtonAccountNr = radioButtons[i].AccountNr;
                    radioButtonFiidText     = radioButtons[i].FiidText;
                    if (radioButtonAccountNr == "ABACUS-NR NOK" || radioButtonFiidText == "FIID NOK") {
                         document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.fehlerdetails.disabled = true;
Thank you very much for you help.
Cheers Robert

first, this is a Java forum, not Javascript, and aside from the first 4 letters, the two have nothing in common.
Second.. if there's more then 1 radio button named 'GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean', this:
var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;
will be an error.
var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean;
for(x=0; x < radioButtons.length; x++) {
   if(radioButtons[x].checked) {
      ... check the value and disable
}

OBIEE10G - Javascript problems with graphs

Hi,
Is there any known problem with using javascript and the display of graphs? I have a report where i have a pivot table where i use some javascript to format that table. Below that table i have 2 graphs that are different reports from the one with the pivot table (see images below).
Version working well
http://imageshack.us/f/41/graphworkingok.jpg/
Version with problems
http://imageshack.us/f/220/graphwithproblems.jpg/
I guess the problems may be related with javascript because when i remove the javascript from the pivot table (i have it in a static text view) the graphs seem to work ok.
I'm not an expert (far from that) with javascript and i was playing around with it so i could format the pivot table the way i wanted but i don't have enough knowledge of it to understand what may be causing the problem.
Thanks

I didn't do that because the line i want to format is a "manually" built line. I want to format the last line (total line) but that line wasn't made using the total feature of OBIEE but built by myself. What i do in that line is changing the background color of all the cells in that last line and changing the font-size as well.
Would i be able to do this just by using CSS? From what i read i think i can't that's why i used JS.
Btw, what i did is related to this other thread i created where i explained my problem, this may help:

Netflix having JavaScript problem with Firefox 7

FireFox was working fine with 6 before the update to 7 with Netflix, and after the update Netflix no longer plays which Netflix tells me to enable JavaScript which it is with FireFox 7.

Can you detect any pattern to it, whether related to messages with attachments, or particular advertising on the page, etc.?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
(Usually the dialog will refer to live.com rather than hotmail.com, that's normal.)
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

Struts \ POI \ Javascript Problem with IE 7

Alright folks, I'm having a problem migrating my application from IE 6 to IE 7. We have search functionality in the app that triggers off of javascript calls when a button is pressed in the search. Once the data is retrieved, an export button becomes enabled that allows the user to export those results to Excel using POI. On the back end, we're using struts running in WAS 6. When the results are exported, the action class manually writes the excel workbook to the output stream as below:
     protected void print(HSSFWorkbook a_wb, HttpServletResponse a_response)
          throws IOException, ServletException {
          // generate output
          a_response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
          ServletOutputStream out = a_response.getOutputStream();
          a_wb.write(out);
Then the action returns null to signify to struts that the response has already been handled manually.
Everything works perfectly in IE 6. In IE 7, however, everything is not so great. The search works to retrieve the results and I can export them to Excel. The problem is that after I export them to Excel, all the Javascript on my page ceases to work. Basically, what I've been able to determine is that upon receiving the Excel document response something is causing the document Javascript variable to become undefined. This causes all my javascript -- things like:
document.getElementById('actionIndicator').value ="Clear";
to completely fail because document is undefined. Mind you, the page is still sitting there rendered in IE, and I can do things like window.frames and programmatically see a list of the frames defined on the page -- but the document variable is completely gone.
At this point I'm kind of at a loss as to what to check or test next, so I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Hey Gina
we have not seen broken images like you did, but have seen dramatic reduction in respose time with IE 7 (~20 times slower than normal). A bunch of IT folks tried various settings and configurations, with no success. Finally, we figured that different versions of IE 7 acd differently. Version 5700 was running fine. Version 5713 (or something like that, the latest one) was slooooow.
Our Office of Information Resources does not "support" any other browser than IE. So, in addition to problems with Office 2007 I described previously, we may get a double whammy from Microsoft. Don't get me started.

Weird Terminal problem with AIX

Hi,
I have kind of an odd problem with the Terminal.app that I hope someone can assist me in figuring out.
I'm connecting to an AIX 5.3 server and the top portion of the window is always "cut off". It's there, it's just one screen up in the buffer and I can't figure out why. I can connect with iTerm and things display appropriately.
Below is a link to a side by side picture of Terminal.app (left) and iTerm (right). If I scroll up in the Terminal.app buffer, I can see the missing lines from the top of the screen.
http://picasaweb.google.com/andy.black10/Misc#5407855064094337554
Thanks,
Andy

Minor point: would you please fill in your Forum profile information, at least the Mac OS X operating system version.
I'm currently using Leopard and I can reproduce this problem in Terminal vs iTerm. I used your script output (thank you) in order to generate the escape sequences.
BY THE WAY, if the script output contains any sensitive login info, you might want to change your password on the Pharamcy OSU system
It looks like there is a Terminal problem handling Scrolling Regions as set by <esc>[1;24r. It looks like <esc>[0J is not erasing from the current cursor position to the end of the display, but rather it starts the erase above the current cursor position. The erase behavior without a scrolling region appears better, but not perfect.
I would encourage you to file a bug with Apple at either:
<http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
or
<http://bugreporter.apple.com>
Free ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account needed for BugReporter
The BugReporter would be better.
If you want, I have a little script that can be used to demonstrate the problem
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo -e "e[1;24re[He[0Je[He[0Je[?6he[1;24re[He[0Jc"

echo BEFORE should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
for j in {4..23}

echo FILLER should be erased $j $j $j $j $j

for j in {4..23} # our next command prompt will be 24th line
do
echo AFTER should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
Here is example output from Terminal:
BEFORE should remain on screen 1 1 1 1 1
AFTER should remain on screen 4 4 4 4 4
AFTER should remain on screen 5 5 5 5 5

Weird Safari problems with Forum

I've been having random problems with the forum and Safari. When I am not logged in I see this:
Every user, every post is the same except for the occasional (see the 7th row) odd one. I'm also not able to sign on. The login screen comes up but when I enter my un and pw the next page just reloads in a constant loop during the redirect. This is happening on 4 different computers 3 with OSX 10.8.2 and one with the lateest version of OSX 10.7. All have the latest version of Safari...

The forum database crashed a few days ago. There's all sorts of oddities. Not browser related (though of course you could always use a "decent" browser ).

Weird install problem with OS X, please help!

I've been upgrading a friend powerbook firewire 400Mhz G3, we installed 1GB of memory and put in an 80GB HD. I partioned so that OSX can be on the first 8GB, put 9.1 on the second parition of 7GB, upgraded the firmware, and i think i have tried just about everything i could find here on the discussion board.
I have several versions of X including the first version, panther (retail), and tiger (borrowed, on DVD). tiger and the original version get as far as installing, then go into kernal panic (you must restart right now.....etc). 10.2 just gts to the apple screen then a white jagged bar pops up.
i'm at a loss. i really don't know what i try to make this better, any help is greatly appriciated!!!!
oh, and the memory seemed fine when her original 6GB drive was in there, which had tiger installed.
j

jhw1,
I will just run by you some potential causes for your problem and hope that one hits the target.
- I will ask, out of curiosity, why you are making an 8GB partition for OSX? This limitation applies only to the older Wallstreet powerbook. There is no need to partition the HD unless you have a specific reason.
- Since the HD is new, and you still want to run Classic and also boot 9.x, make sure you install the MacOS 9 HD driver, an option in OSX's Disk Utility when erasing an HD, or go ahead and install OS 9.x first...this will automatically install the OS9 HD driver. If you install OSX first on a clean HD without installing the OS9 HD driver, MacOS 9 will run fine in Classic under 10.x but 9.x will no longer boot.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107285
- The Pismo has a history of failing DVD-ROM drives and usually the CD-side starts acting up first. If you have access to another Pismo or Lombard, swap drives and try the install. If you have access to a FireWire CD-RW, you can also boot OSX CDs using it.
- Reset the PRAM if you have not done so.
- You may have dirty or bad CDs; carefully clean or try others.
- You mentioned the 'book ran fine with 1GB of RAM and running Tiger on a 6GB HD, but probably the 1GB was installed after Tiger was on the HD. There is the remote possibility that the RAM is problematic when running the installers. A Wallstreet, for example, often has problems installing with 512MB, but if one 256MB module is removed, the install goes fine, then the RAM is reinstalled.
If this were my 'book, I would try this:
1. Disconnect all peripherals and reset the PRAM.
2. Boot to the 9.x CD > use Drive Setup to repartition the HD (if you wish) > install 9.x to make sure the HD, RAM, etc, are good-to-go.
3. Boot to your OSX CD and see how the install proceeds. If it fails, it may be a problem with the optical drive and/or CDs. Try the options I mentioned earlier.
4. If you wish, remove the top memory module and try the install again. If successful, reinstall the module.
5. If there is no workaround for the optical drive, you might try installing via FireWire Target Disk Mode. The 'target' will be the Pismo's HD on the desktop of the 'host' computer and you will boot the host computer to the OSX CD and select the Pismo's HD as the destination.

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

I had the same problem, but it disappeared yesterday. Try it run under root - it helped me. I dont really know how i fixed it, but it works under normal user now as well ...I hope there will be someone who knows.

Weird Javascript problem on Safari and other web browsers

Hello,
this is actually pretty weird. For the past several weeks I have been dealing with a very strange problem which I believe relates to JavaScript. To be more specific I have an issue with two websites: Macuser.gr and Facebook.com.
As far as Macuser.gr is concerned this is how it's supposed to look:
http://f.cl.ly/items/0j1J123Y2D0t1C2U3b1f/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .04%20PM.jpg
and this is how Safari renders it:
http://f.cl.ly/items/3N0V3I1c0Q0a1r0K0e1C/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .40%20PM.jpg
The problem is with the preview images as you can see.
Now, in Facebook there's this annoying white line where it isn't supposed to be:
http://f.cl.ly/items/0k0i2c0T0q1h3t2j2s3e/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .52%20PM.jpg
I have tried and tested everything (Guest user, different browsers etc) and all it comes down to is JavaScript. Disabling Javascript seems to fix everything immediately. Enabling it again and this mess occurs. Also, this happens with the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox BUT not with Camino 2.1.2 although it has JavaScript enabled in it.
This is really frustrating and it appeared out of the blue one day. I did not have this problem from day 1. Any ideas?

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

Javascript problem with HTML embed

I'm migrating a large existing site from Sitegrinder to Muse after converting several smaller sites without problem. Unfortunately this site has a javascript button that doesn't work at all. The button was created with the Object/Embed HTML feature, just as coding for several ads was placed in the same way. All the elements displayed properly in the Muse layout and in the browser preview, so I assumed that the code was being read correctly.
Unfortunately when I click the button on the deployed site, the message "Run script "getPianoDeals()" appears at the bottom of the browser window but nothing else happens. A pop-up window with localized info is supposed to show up. This button appears at the top of every page on a website of hundreds of pages.
I don't know Javascript, simply place the line of code provided to me. The button has always worked in the past. There's a lot going on in the pages so I don't know if there's a conflict or what to do about it. The site is at www.pianobuyer.com; the white button labeled "view local offers" in the top right corner is the problem. For reference I've reloaded the main pages of the old site at www.pianobuyer.com/Julie/ where the button functions correctly.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I've tried several things to sort out the problem.
I isolated the button on a separate layer (helpful with problems between drop-down menu bar and other HTML objects on a page) but it made no difference.
I then edited the HTML file, moving the relative position of the Muse javascript entries and the problem button script. No matter where the lines were placed, when the button script follows the Muse scripts it works fine; when the button script precedes the Muse scripts it does nothing. Also when the Muse scripts follows the button script the normal actions on the site works fine (drop-down menu bar, slide show); when the Muse scripts precedes the button script none of them work. So the conflict definitely occurs between the scripts.
I found two discussions on the forum about similar problems. Both refer to a "require.js" file being added to the page. Unfortunately I don't understand what's being discussed.

Weird iWeb problem with nav buttons....

Hi all. New to this and a complete idiot. The club which I am the Prez of needed a web site, and as no one else volunteered, I ended up doing it. Everything seemed to go fine for a while until I started modifying the original site....then I started getting weird things happening. Many of them I have figured out but the last one is beyond me. The problem is with the text in the nav buttons at the top of the pages. On the first page all the navigational buttons are fine, but on all the other pages the button that takes you back to the home page has text I never put in, and it does not appear in it's entirety. Can anyone provide any help as to how I can fix this. The URL is:
www.nocasa-ft.com

Indeed, the problem is with the cache. I cleared the cache and all now comes up as it is supposed to. Thanks so much for your suggestion. I was rather disappointed because it seemed the problem was with Safari, and I kind of like that browser. I didn't want to have to use something else.
Thanks again.
