Why does my javascript code work fine in all other browsers, but not Safari

Previously, I have asked how Safari handles javascript trying to resolve a problem with a slide menu, (http://www.designoutput.com/testslide.html) being directed to validator. I have corrected as many things as possible and still have code work in other browsers. Why will my code work in all other browsers (IE 5.2, Firfox, Netscape, and Opera) and not Safari. It appears that Apple would address some of the problems that people are listing. Possibly, my problem is not with Safari, but my code, if so why does it work in all other browsers. Having more knowledge of how Safari accepts code or handles code differently than other browsers would be helpful. It would be nice if I could debug my code in Safari step by step to know where the problem is at. I'm just frustrated with Safari after working on my problem for over a month. Would be very greatful to anyone that could just being to get my code to appear in Safari (only a blank page in Safari, menu appears in all other browsers)

you seem to have deleted even more end tags. elements (<a>, <div>, <td>, etc.) need to be closed (</a>, </div>, </td>, etc.) to structure the code properly.
incorrect:
document.write(<font ...><b>example)
correct:
document.write(<font...><b>example</b></font>)
check out w3schools for html and javascript help.
the ilayer tag should only be in your NS (i.e. not NS6) code, but it too needs to be closed.
i don't use IE, but with these fixes i've gotten your page to display fine in safari, firefox and opera.

I have a php module which runs fine in Firefox and all other browsers but not Safari. It always run twice - I see a small ? in upper right corner which is causing it to run twice but NO idea why? I read it MAY have something to do with am image it cannot load but I see them all loaded. Help - thank you

Could you share a link to the page?
Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

Hi my website it working fine on all other browsers but on firefox it is not displaying properly. I was hoping to send a screenshot to see if anyone had any ideas why this might be happening.

I have loaded the new Flash version into Firfox several times, but none of my sites recognize it when using Firefox. It works fine on all other browsers, but I would prefer to use Firfox if this problem can be solved.

I use Firefox 4.0.1 on a Mac running Os X10.5.8. When I try to run Facebook or other sites that are heavy users of Flash I get a message that the new version of Flash must be loaded. I have loaded the latest version several times, but still get the message and these sites will not run on Firefox. The sites run fine with Safari or Chrome but I prefer to use Firefox if it can be made to run these sites. Thank you for any suggestions you have to help fix this problem.

Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

If a website uses BGSOUND then it will only work in IE.
BGSOUND is not compatible with other browsers like Firefox.

Uploading files containing swedish letter åäö gets ecoding corrupted in firefox for mac. Same features works fine in all other browsers. Is this a bug in firefox for mac?

When uploading a file containing swedish letter å, ä or ö the file name is gets corupted in the filename. There are som encoding issues just for the mac version, since the file name is uploaded correctly in all other browsers on mac and all browsers in windows.

What form does this corruption take? According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695995 the difference is decomposed vs precomposed Unicode forms, but that should not actually affect any Unicode-complian software. If there's a site that shows a problem here, can you point me to it?

I'm assuming SI_ID=716 is the Inbox where you're sending the objects.
The issue is that you're not clicking the "Step Over" button fast enough when debugging. If you click really fast, then you'll get the same issue.
Workaround for the non-debug case is to count the number of objects you're sending, then when moving, loop till the InfoStore query retrieves the correct number of objects.
You're not giving enough time for the Destination Job Server to send the objects to the Inbox - they're not there yet.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda
Edit: I see you've identified the issue as well - note that the CMS job scheduling thread triggering interval isn't under programmatic control, so I'd still recommend loop-count-wait workflow.

Need help troubleshooting problem: Flash hangs after using Firefox (on mac) back button - works fine on all other browsers

to reproduce:
1. click on a flash button that takes you to a new html page
2. hit the back button on browser
3. flash button hangs
I've included a test page as an example below.
the bug is specific to having used the flash button and is specific to the Mac version of firefox. The PC version seems to work fine.

What is the address of the first page? The only thing that link you posted in your information was the page that says, "now hit the back button and see if flash hangs after clicking on the flash button".

Rollover only works on the border in internet explorer but works fine in all other browsers

I created an aerial map and on specific areas I created a rollover, meaning when you rollover an the image of exp. a house a picture of the house pops up in bigger. It works really well in all browsers..... but in Internet explorer. In internet explorer nothing rolls over. but when I put a border, it does rollover but only when the mouse is on the border. I do not want the border there. I want it to rollover when teh mouse is on the area How can I solve this issue just for internet explorer.
Below is my coding i used:
In HTML:
<div class="map">
<img src="Img/map-of-area.png">
<div class="maparea">
<a class="volley" href="htmlmainhouse.html"> <span> <img src="Img/photos/map/fields.JPG" width="170" height="130" alt="sample" border="0" /></span> </a>
</div>
</div>
In CSS:
a.volley{
/* border: 2px solid red; */
height: 35px;
width: 90px;
position:absolute;
top: 310px;
left: 275px;
z-index:20;
a.volley {
display:inline;
z-index:30;
a.volley span {
display:none;
a.volley:hover span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:1em;
width:64px;
height:64px;

For rollovers on image maps, you'll get better cross-browser results with JavaScript functions. See link for details:

Mouse works fine, great in other browsers but barely works in firefox

I'm about to permanently ditch Firefox as this is most annoying. Mouse performs perfectly in other browsers - I'd prefer to stay with Firefox but with this problem unless I can fix it I'm thru its just too annoying and time-consuming. Mouse doesn't scroll I have to get on top and drag it along in tiny increments take forever to move thru site.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Works fine in JDK 6.0 but not in jdk 1.5.???????

Hi all,
This code converts english date to japanese date but it is working fine in english only. can any body answer why it is so.
Note : No Comiplation problem in jdk 1.5
This code works fine in JDK 6.0 but not in JDK 1.5, Why.....?
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
        Locale locale = new Locale("ja", "JP", "JP");//locale for Japanese
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(locale); //japanese calender object
        DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG,locale);
        try{
        Date date = sdf.parse("1930/09/27");
            System.out.println(df.format(date));
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }

Hi,
If I give the Input date 1930/10/27 (in english), then program must display the date as S5.10.27 (it's japanese date with 'S' indicating ERA)
But this will happpen only when i run the program in JDK 6.0.
In JDK 1.5, for the above input, the output is 1930/10/27 (which is wrong)
Still I don't have compilation and running problems in both. Can anybody expalin why it is so?
I think i tried my best to restate the question.

Code is working fine with OIM9102 BP14 patch but not in OIM9102 BP20.

Using OIM API calls, I am able to fetch usr_key and ugp_key succesfully when utilityFactory is initialized with system admin login.
When utilityFactory is intialized with non system admin ID, usr_key and ugp_key is returning as "0".
This code is working fine with OIM9102 BP14 patch but not in OIM9102 BP20. Do user need any access right to invoke API calls ? Any thing related to this is changed in this patch?
Environment details:
OIM 9102BP20
Websphere 6.1

No, no more rights are needed. If it is working fine into BP older than this one, raise a SR and ask support guys to file a bug. But you have to show them step-by-step working into the older one and not working on newer. It is quite difficult happen, but maybe this feature broken on new business patch 20.
I hope this helps,

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
