Why is the attribute "leftmargin" in the HTML body tag ignored by Firefox?

Check f.i. http://www.vaartips.nl/tipa.htm and see the difference (left margin) between FF and IE.
De "leftmargin 20" is ignored (not working) in FF (see code of the page)

''The topmargin, bottommargin, leftmargin, and rightmargin attributes on BODY are supported only in quirks mode (bug 9258).''

How to access the html body source?

Is their a way to access the html body source code? Because i want to add a div in my body before and after some select lists to get a border around my select lists. Thanks people.

Hello,
If you add a Start and Stop HTML Table element before and after your select list, it will create an extra table around your select lists with an id=<name of your Start/Stop Table Element>. Using some javascript (or jQuery) you can add a class to that Id that'll create a border.

Why can't you change the .html/.htm filetype icons for Firefox?

**Before you read this question: NOTICE I am talking about Firefox Icons on Windows, NOT ON FIREFOX BOOKMARKS/PROGRAM!!!!! Read the question then please, please visit the link so you have a better understanding of what I'm asking with this question!!!!**
I've been trying to change the FileType Icons for the Firefox Documents for weeks now and there's no solution that I can see. I tried using Filetypes Manager to change the .html/.htm filetypes icons with no luck. Why does Firefox force this change on users when most users that use Firefox do so because of it's ability to be customizable? Even Microsoft Word .doc file icons allow you to change them! Microsoft!!! Why is Firefox forcing everyone to use their ugly filetype icons? &____& I've yet to see this issue not only addressed but solved. Why does Firefox ignore this issue? I'd like my computer's icons to all be top-notch, and Firefox is preventing me from making my weeks of hard work go to naught. Please, please address this issue... if anything, tell your users why your program is forcing the icons on them in the first place when monopolies like Microsoft allow their users to customize program filetype icons.
If this cannot have a fix, why can't it be a new feature/addition to the newest versions of Firefox?
Edit: And because people are starting to get 'confused' I've included a screen shot of what I'm talking about because, for the love of god, people, I'm *not* talking about using favicons and bookmarks!
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/arcanetheorem/example.png

The only thing I changed about the question was to add an image and to try and make it more understandable since everyone assumed I was talking about Favicons/Bookmark Icons....
As for it being a Windows 7 issue and not a Firefox one... if it were just a Windows 7 issue I wouldn't be able to change other application icons or filetype icons on the Windows platform using FileTypes Manager. Firefox, from what I've been able to gather, is not one that can be changed. If I change the filetype icons for Word Documents any other extension (like .mp3/.mp4/.avi/.mkv), I get the changed icon I wanted. However, when you try to change the Firefox .html/.htm filetype extension icons, it doesn't work. Have you tried going through changing your icon filetypes using FileTypes Manager to see this issue? If it were a Windows or FileType Manager issue, then I'd have trouble changing other icons on that platform, no? So what I'm asking with my question is why this is. Why, if you use FileTypes Manager to change Windows7 icons, is Firefox's icons the only ones that won't be changed? Doesn't this fall under Firefox's problem if their icons are under the 'can't be changed' category under Windows? And using shortcut icons is no good for me. When I browse a folder of .html files, I want to see the icons I changed it to, not make a shortcut to every .html file I have just to have a better-looking Visual Style. Defeats the purpose, doesn't it? As for clicking on Properties to change it... Windows 7 doesn't allow this feature anymore, which is why I've been using FileType Manager to change all filetype extension icons.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit, though I have a feeling I'm just confusing everyone more with what is a simple question/problem....

Why is the HTML editor so inefficient ?

Hi Molly !
As tst says, "I hate to loose posts !". The fact that we are returned to a blank page, without any chance to recover our work, each time a post is not accepted by the NI server, has been a real pain for an already long time.
Things are made worse by the inefficiency of the HTML editor since posts are rejected for being more than 5000 chars just because HTML tags are abusively embedded in the posts. Attached is an example of text, 1663 chars long, that has been turned into a 7457 chars long document by the forum editor ! The text was not imported, just directly typed in. I have the feeling that this is far from optimal
I believe that there are a few maneuvers that should be avoided to minimize such abusive HTML formatting. Could you help ?

I typically do a "select all"...control C before trying to post. ...Burned too many times.
I especially hate these IBM laptop keyboards with these idiotic Prev/Next keys right next to the regular cursors. If I accidentally hit e.g. the left one, it's like pressing the BACK button of the browser and I immediately and irreversibly loose all text I just composed. An immediate forward gets me back an empty form.

Why is the af:table tag creating a fixed size div.

When I use the af:table components it seems to always occupy a fixed height no matter how many rows are displayed. This creates a difficulty when laying out pages and making the table scroll in a fixed area.
I looked at the HTML and the div that wraps the table has a fixed height even when the actual data fits is a much smaller space. Can't the table just flow according to the wrapping container.
Basically I would like to set the height of a layout container and have the table scroll without a bunch of "white space" at the bottom. Is this reasonable?
I also tried to put the table in an af:panelBox that has a fixed height. When I do this the panelBox does not scroll it simply expands to contain the entire table. Event if I have a single row there is a bunch of white space below the last row. What layout control should I use to properly scroll a table?

Hi,
this came up couple of times and I'll file a bug to change this behavior. I agree that it doesn't make sense to not have the table responding to where it has less rows then the initial setting. However, this I think should be configurable because not everyone wants to have it.
A reason for this behavior - and maybe a reason why this isn't an easy fix - is within the table rendring. The table rendering is through stamping, which means that the table itself doesn't perform active geometry handling. However. I'll file the bug and we se whats coming out of this

ADOBE - Why is the meta "viewport" tag missing from the jQuery Mobile Web starter pages?

Hi -
I'm just starting to play with mobile and responsive web design. I worked out a mobile version of an existing site which looked good locally but when I uploaded it the site appeared miniaturized and not optimized for small viewports. All the text, images, buttons, etc - were tiny on the iPhone screen when the site was supposed to adapt to the small screen. It took me a few hours of hair pulling to find out that the most important tag of all was missing:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
Why on earth would Adobe tout that their web dev application has features to springboard mobile design if the starter pages don't even include the fundamental tag that makes a site viewable on mobile screens ??
Is my version of Dreamweaver missing something? Version 12/build 5861, Mac OS X 10.7.5 ? Or has someone at Adobe forgot to test this product? Or am I just crazy (besides being mad as hell)?
thanks,
Josh

Not to display the HTML markup tags in JSP

Hi all,
Im my struts FormBean i have a String variable which contains HTML tags ( e.g this is a sample text ....)
If the markups are not to be displayed in the resulting JSP, what should be done?
-Seshu

If I understand your question, and you want the value of the String variable outputed in the HTML, like showing HTML source, replacing '<' with "<", '>' with ">", '&' with "&", and '"' with """ will do the trick and is XHTML-safe. (Replace the '&' character first)

Why isnt the right version showing in "About Firefox" - after installing?

There was an important update(V.6) in a pop-up window. I go ahead and install it. After installment, it pops up a new window telling me it is important to APPLY the installment. I agree on that and them it tries to contact the update server and nothing more happens. If the update is already installed, why am I asked to apply the installment? When I check the "About Firefox", it says I am still on Version 5.... It should read Version 6. Guess if I am confused. Is it installed or not?
Sincerely, Raffek

1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

Use the html break tag or CSS?

I have one page on my site where the last two floated images caused problems. Because the text next to each one was not very long, the images got too close and broke the layout. I did a quick fix by inserting a few HTML break tags, but I'm wondering if it would be more professional practice to created an ID or CLASS adding more bottom margin to the paragraphs next to the photos??
http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/jack-vance.htm

You could add "clear:left;" or "clear:both;" to your "lft" class in the CSS. This would prevent the images from wrapping around each other.

Why does the "hooray you've just updated firefox tab open along with my home page tab everytime I sign into firefox since the update?

Since the last update, every time I sign onto firefox, I get two tabs that open. One is my home page the other tab is the hooray you've just updated firefox. How do I get rid of the tab from firefox telling me I've just updated?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How can I get the html BODY marginwidth/leftmargin-rightmargin to work?

I am developing some web pages where I want both a left and a right margin. I DO NOT want to play with CSS. There are html attributes MARGINWIDTH, LEFTMARGIN, and RIGHTMARGIN for the BODY element. The first works with IE, while the last two work with NS. I have all three set for Firefox and see no visual margin in the browser. A little help on this would be great

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Why would the Java Plugin not work in Firefox 5 on Mac SnowLeopard? I have the most recent version but am unable to use any Java features on Firefox 5. Firefox 3.6 works with the same Java but 5 will not.

Most recent version of Java and firefox. Java Applications will start to load but end up in an infinite loading loop.

Well, it's what I did to get my Java working in Firefox 4. I installed both binaries into my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder. The version was newer that what was previously installed (newer version is 0.9.7.5). It solved the Java problems I was having. My inital problem was that Java would not initiate and no applets would run in Firefox version 4 which I just installed a few days ago.
I know the readme.txt. says it is not compatible with version 4, but the release date on 0.9.7.5 is after the release date of Firefox 4 and so that was I tried it. I figure there was nothing to lose as at worst it woud update my two plug-in files. Nothing was going to be changed otherwise. If you try it, it might work.

Why is the logo image not displaying in Firefox?

The logo image for one of my sites is not displaying. The alt info for the image is being displayed. This is a relatively new problem. In older versions of Firefox the image displayed fine. The image also displays fine in Webkit browsers and IE10. This is a Firefox specific problem. The main URL for the site is: http://sabaki.aisites.com/dbs323/project/masterAi.php
If you go to that URL in Firefox you'll see "logo gif" split onto two lines and before the "COTin" text. If you view the same URL in Chrome or IE10, you'll see the image. I have screenshots of the problem, but there is no way to include them here.

Works fine here.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Why does the text look blurry sometimes in Firefox 4?

Whenever I use Firefox 4 on my Toshiba Windows 7 64 bit, it doesn't happen but using it on a Lenovo with 7 64 bit, this problem happens. It doesn't happen everytime I use it and happens on sites that I have visited before that were previously unblurred. I assume this is a issue with FF4's compatibility with my display.

Turn off hardware acceleration in the '''tools/options/advanced-browsing''' section. This seemed to make it better. Found this suggestion elsewhere.

Why is the attribute "leftmargin" in the HTML body tag ignored by Firefox?
