Workaround for Firefox SVG hyperlink problem?

I am struggling with the Firefox 1.5 specific problem when using drilldowns with SVG charts.
In IE 6, Mozilla 1.7 and Firefox 1.0.7 it works fine, but not with Firefox 1.5.
Whenever I click on a link in a chart the link will be opened inline on the same page similar to an IFRAME ( <img src="http://i1.tinypic.com/skzz9f.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by TinyPic"> ) . I don't want it inline. Seems to be a problem with the EMBED tag and Firefox 1.5.
Did anybody find a workaround for Firefox 1.5 and SVG?
Thanks,
~Dietmar.

Hi Carl,
Thats awesome! Thanks :). Took me while to figure it out, but when I'm hooked on a problem, I usually don't give up that easily ;).
I guess cross-browser SVG support still has a good way to go.
That would be a good addition to the wiki.OK. Is linking to the blog article ok or shall I create a complete entry?

Acrobat 9 PDFMAKER for Word - Relative Hyperlink problem

In the past I have successfully use Acrobat Standard 6 PDFMAKER with Word 2003 to preate PDF files with relative hyperlinks. I have a large massively hyperlinked PDF document collection which I distribute on DVD and hence need relative hyperlinks because people's DVD drives have different drive letters. The PDF links produced by Acrobat 6 PDFMAKER have only a single "F" entry in the CosDict and that entry is the desired relative path. The PDF files I make are PDF 1.4. These work with Adobe reader.
Acrobat 9's PDFMAKER for Word 2007 appears to be unable to produce PDF 1.4 files with relative hyperlinks that work in Adobe Reader. I get PDF files with Annot entries containing a correct "F" entry with a relative path, BUT there is also a UF entry with an absolute path. I have reported this as a bug because it appears to me that the PDF spec says the UF field is a PDF 1.7 feature. I'm speculating that the presence of this undesired absolute path in the UF field of the Annot object is why Adobe Reader (and Foxit Reader) won't follow the hyperlinks as relative paths. Foxit complains about not finding the absolute path.
Is there a way to coerce Acrobat 9's PDFMAKER to produce truly relative hyperlinks from Word 2007? Am I wrong is diagnosing the problem? I am using Acrobat 9.4.2. Is there a newer version that has fix this problem?
Any suggestions for how to produce PDF files with functional relative hyperlinks from Word 2007 would be appreciated. Since my document collection is very large (1000,'s of files in a directory tree) I'd like to be able to automate this. I have successfully written VB script code to automate running PDFMAKER but the relative vs absolute hyperlink problem persists whether I make the files one at a time from Word or in a batch from VB.

I don't believe Word 2000 is supported by Acrobat 9

Workaround for IE active content problem?

Adobe
posted
a workaround for existing web pages to respond to the change in
IE that requires users to manually activate Flash content. I tried
doing the same document.write in an external file for the HTML
files FlashHelp generates wherever I found the <object> and
<embed> tags, but I get a script error ("Object expected") in
the lines where I call the function. (The solution worked for me in
simple HTML pages with Captivate movies, so I know it can work.)
The only reason I can think of that it won't work is that the
scripts are concatenating strings, not just showing a movie where
the <object> and <embed> tags are. Has anyone found a
workaround for FlashHelp so users don't have to manually activate
the top and left panes? I put in a "wish" for Adobe to provide a
solution on the site and later in an update or new version of
RoboHelp (which is another issue in and of itself), but who knows
when the developers will be able to come up with it. Thanks!

Thanks for asking, Mimi. Here are more specific steps:
1. Open Notepad or another program for creating text files.
2. Create two functions. For example:
function insertMaster1() {
function insertMaster2() {
You can call your functions anything you want, but the names
must be different. Note that for the moment, they're empty, but
we'll change that in a minute.
3. Save the Notepad file with a JS file extension (for
example, runactive.js). In Notepad, specify “All Files”
for “Save as type” so that it doesn’t save as a
TXT.
4. When you generate your FlashHelp system, it creates a
bunch of HTM files containing JavaScript in the destination folder
you specified when generating your output. Locate wf_master.htm and
wf_navpane.htm in the output folder. (If you leave RoboHelp to use
its defaults, it puts your help system in an !SSL!/FlashHelp
directory within your project folder.)
5. Open wf_master.htm.
6. In the <head> tags, insert a line that references
your JS file:
<script language=“JavaScript”
src=“runactive.js”></script>
7. Find the lines in the code that look like this:
// Insert the “Master” SWF
8. Highlight everything AFTER this commented-out block until
the </script> tag. The last thing you highlight should be
"document.write(strObject);".
9. Cut the highlighted code and paste it into the first
function in your JS file so it looks like this:
function insertMaster1() {
// Build up the variable string we will be sending
strFlashVars = "uniqueHelpID=" + parent.UniqueID();
……(more code)
document.write(strObject);
10. In the place where you just cut all that code out of
wf_master.htm, insert a call to the function:
insertMaster1();
That’s all you need because all that code you just
moved was already in <script> tags in the HTM file. The
</script> tag should come immediately after this function
call.
11. Open wf_navpane.htm.
12. Repeat steps 6 – 10 for wf_navpane.htm. The code
we’re concerned with in this file looks almost exactly like
that in wf_master.htm, but there are a few lines less this time.
Put the code you take out of wf_navpane.htm into the second
function in your JS file. Where you cut out the code from
wf_navpane.htm, put a call to the second function (it should come
right before the end of the <script> tags):
insertMaster2();
13. Save your JS file and the two HTM files.
14. Whenever you re-generate your output, RoboHelp is going
to erase your new versions of these HTM files and create its own
again. Copy your new versions of wf_master.htm and wf_navpane.htm
to another location (can be a folder within your output folder).
Now you have them so you can paste them back over RoboHelp’s
versions each time you finish generating your output. For example,
I would stow my wf_master.htm and wf_navpane.htm in a folder called
"drop files." Then, after I get done generating my output, I copy
those files and paste them in the output folder, letting them save
over the ones that RoboHelp created.
15. To test it once you've finished the swap, find the HTM
file in your output folder that is named after your project. For
example, if my project is called flying_monkey, I would find
flying_monkey.htm. Open this HTM file in Internet Explorer, and you
shouldn’t have any messages telling you that you have to
press Enter or Spacebar or click on the panes to activate them.
This runs from the same basic idea as Adobe’s
workarounds for Flash—we’re going to a file external to
the HTM files for the active content tags. Hope you find this
useful! Let me know if you run into any problems.

Workaround for Firefox browser not recognized by SLL search engine?

Attempting to add Google SLL (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-ssl-243978/?src=ss) to Firefox (35.0.1 Mozilla FIrefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0) fails with the error message "Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search plugin." I've tried suggested support pretaining to "useragent", but the suggested "reset" option is greyed in the selection menu. Is there a workaround?

This can happen if you have an extension that blocks content like JavaScript.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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

Workaround for some W510 Audio Problems. Lenovo, please take a look at this!

Hi all
I believe most or all of the people are affected with poor sound quality of W510. I do believe there are some people who bring their laptops along and not convenient to get a external sound card and external speakers on the road. I am not too sure, but what I think that causes audio problem in W510, T410 or T510 is due to the implementations of Combo Audio/Mic Jack. So far, I have not heard any audio problems from X201 or W701/W701ds with a separate mic and audio jack (1 green and red, instead of 1 combo) Listed machines are using Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD Sound Card.
The workaround is to force install Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD Driver through Device Manager
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73721
Problem Partially Resolved
1. Using Audio Director - Classic mode enables you to use both internal speakers and external speakers/headphone simultaneously. (By right, this should be in Multi-Stream mode, due to this driver not programmed for W510). However, the volume of the internal speaker will be reduced by half if an external speakers/headphone is plugged.
2. The sound quality is improved (tested with internal speakers).
3. Solved Irregular Volume Problems.
Drawback of using this driver
1. Using Multi-Stream mode in this case would not enables you to use both internal speakers and external speakers/headphone simultaneously. However it would just make your internal speaker to be louder. External speaker/headphone would not work if Multi-Stream mode is selected.
2. Custom EQ is not usable, if used, only the right channel of internal speaker, external speaker/headphone would work, and the sound quality will be like a spoilt radio.
3. Only Voice (VoIP) EQ is optimized for external speaker/headphone. Using Off, Jazz, Dance or Concert EQ would make you feel that the vocal (singer's voice) is diffused, blurred like excessive 3D effects.
4. Even if any preloaded EQ is selected, after system has been restarted, the selected EQ would still be saved, but the band (31Hz - 16KHz would be changed back to Off EQ) It is ok as it just affects the graphics, not the sound.
I know that Forum Administrators, Lenovo Staff, Community Moderators, Gurus and Volunteered Moderators/Users would be surfing around and looking for new post. Please take a look and leave a post or PM to me, thank you very much.
It is alright if Lenovo don't think that there is any problems regarding the sound in W510. However, I do believe most users/owners of W510 would appreciate if the sound system could be further improved through a better driver or new revision of hardware to something like a T400 standards or something. Some users would spent so much $ just to get all-in-a-box solution and would not want to invest further just for a external card to sacrifice portability and use more $. Finally, I still do believe that W510 audio problems can be resolved.

Peter

How to download and install SEO Quake for Firefox, I have problem.

Seo Quake will not install to my laptop. I use Firefox browser

Yes, a Nokia Care Center is the Final solution if the website can't offer any solution. Thanks for the feedback. Actually, my phone is still in Warranty, that's why I'm pretty sure that I don't have to pay for the services that will be perform. But still I'm into looking other solution to prevent bringing my phone to Nokia Care.
First, I had already an experience with the Nokia Care Center when I have repair my 1st N96 which took a month but they failed to repair, thus my service provider, Smart Communications, just replace the device with a new one.
Next, my location is far from the Nokia Care Center.
Finally, I opt to save all my files, with the device which is almost 95% full or 14.8GB.

IWA passthrough workaround for FireFox users?

We have implemented an IWA passthrough authentication scheme with 10g so that Windows users with IE do not need to log in to OAM. Unfortunately we have many UNIX users who use FireFox. This does not work for obvious reasons but the bad thing is that they get prompted with a Basic Auth dialog box which transmits their credentials over the wire in clear text. Is there a way to catch the browser type in OAM such that all FireFox users are directed to one AuthN Scheme while all IE users are directed to the IWA passthrough scheme, bypassing the logging in step?
Craig

You should have setup your SSO server to use https...
Apart from that, Unix knows kerberos, as does MS Windows (and you probably use that for the MS Windows users/IE users) - shouldn't you be looking in that direction?
Change the setup for FF (network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris: add you SSO domain) and things should work for those users as well.

Help me to make this workaround for dbms_output buffer(6502) problem click.

Hi,
what i am trying is to store multiline records into single variable. Say ename||'---'||empno||chr(10) ( chr(10) fro newline) from table emp into variable x. On outputting x o/p should be
dbms_output.put_line(x)
o/p to be :-
scott---7306
smith---7406
continued like that.
dbms_output.put_line( ) has buffer size of 255 so if more records x will not be displayed. value error will be there. for solution what i tried is to substring x again and again and display substring there and then.
Here is my code :-
declare
x varchar2(4000);
y varchar2(100);
y1 varchar2(100);
i number;
j number :=1;
k number;
cursor c is select ename||'----'||empno||chr(10) from emp;
begin
open c;
loop -- for all records to be in multiline manner in a single var
fetch c into y ;
exit when c%notfound;
x:=x||y;
end loop;
close c;
i:=instr(x,chr(10),1,1); -- initialise i with position of first appearance of chr(10)
k:=2; -- i initialise it 2 so as to find second appearance of chr(10) in the loop
loop -- this loop for outputting using substr
y1:=substr(x,j,i); --- getting the first record say smith--7306 like that
-- dbms_output.put_line(i);
dbms_output.put_line(y1);
j:=i+1; --- position from which next string to be extracted
i:=instr(x,chr(10),1,k)-i; -- length of next appearance of chr(10)
k:=k+1; -- incrementing for next chr(10)
exit when(i<=0); -- instr returns 0 when chr(10) not found so exit
end loop;
end;
desired output :-
smith--7234
scott--7321
john--7431
jack--7921
output i am getting is like :-
smith--7234
scott--7321
scott--7321
john--7431
john--7431
jack--7921

SVG Viewer for Firefox

Hello.
I'm using the virtual machine developers OTN Days, specifically, the problem is I have to use the performance of the enterprise manager option, ... nothing appears (Baseline NameSYSTEM_MOVING_WINDOW). I read that the fault may be because SVG Viewer for Firefox. But ... do not know how to fix it. Has this happened to someone? You know how I can fix?
Thanks and regards.

Hi FCAtrains,
Firefox can open SVG graphics straight away - no plugins needed at all. Give it a try!
It's best not to install plugins which are no longer supported. They can be a threat to your employer's network security.
Have a go at opening some SVG graphics in Firefox and let us know if ypu need further help. :)

Hi jayelbe,
thanks for your idea but the environment I'm working in is designed to support IE and is optimized for the use of the Adobe feature. By using the IE the SVG graphics can be saved as *.svg in a dedicated folder but not so by using Firefox. The graphic window area shows no content. The file can not be downloaded.
An additional issue is - may be - that I'm working on my home device with LINUX instead of Windows (where everything works).

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.hotmail.com

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

Firefox becomes really slow then eventually unresponsive when loading a page with many hires images. Unsual high memory usage up to 2gigs just for firefox. Was never a problem with v3.6.

When loading a page with many hires images, Firefox becomes really slow and scrolling becomes jumpy then eventually becomes completely unresponsive. Unusual high memory usage of up to 2gigs just for firefox when loading these pages. This was never a problem with v3.6.

I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 & Firefox 9.0.1. It takes a significantly longer amount of time for Firefox to open now. I've always had about 5-6 pin tabs that automatically open, but this was never a problem before. Should I downgrade, or is there a fix? Thx.

Not sure why it takes almost 1-2 minutes for Firefox to fully open and load. It's also not an internet issue, as Safari opens immediately.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Session Restore#w_configuring-session-restore|Configuring Session Restore]]
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Check and tell if its working.
Might not be related to your problem but some of your Plugins are out-dated
* Update All your Firefox Plugins -> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

I've used Firefox for years w/no problem but now I can't get a window to open I still get the menu bar on top. When I try to click open a new window nothing happens. I have a Mac.

I never have problems with Firefox before. I usually don't put my Mac on sleep mode but I did do that last night. I don't know if that caused the problem or not. I tried to restart my computer thinking that might help but it didn't.

Try:

You can also try to move (delete) the Firefox plist file.<br />
See [http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060606082246983 How .plist files become corrupt and troubleshooting the results]<br />
Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Workaround for the Fade/Appear blocky text problem in IE

Just wanted to share with folks a workaround for the IE
"blocky text" problem that you see when using Fade effects like the
one used in this example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DetailRegionEffectsSample.html
It turns out if you set the 'background' CSS property on the
element you are fading, that IE properly renders the text. So to
fix the effects sample above, all you would have to do is modify
this CSS rule in the file to place a background color on the
description region to get things to look good in IE:
#description {
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
background: white;
So if folks have been avoiding the use of effects because it
makes things look terrible in IE, you now have a workaround.
--== Kin ==--

I was using spry's AppearFade effect to transition between
"slides" in what equates to a viewstack that I created.
Then I noticed that it would take bold text in IE and make it
look all smudgy or blurry.
Well, after working on it for a while, I got to thinking,
"This problem is specific to text rendered in MicroSofts
browser"... "Hmmm, I wonder".
So, I tried using this style rule: [ font-family:"MS Sans
Serif",Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; ].
Lo and behold, feed the stupid MS browser an MS font and it
does not blur the text.
I just wanted to get this our there. Because someone might
want to solve this in a way where they don't have to set a
background color...
