Bug in Tabbed Browsing?
I have a site where I use a lot of anchors in links. When clicking on such a link on the top of the same page as the id is on, the idea is to take the visitor further down the page, where the id is. Now, if I set my preferences for 'Link open behavior' in Tabbed Browsing to open links in the current tab/window, SM is not moving down to the id and is actually not moving at all, as it does if I have preferences set to open links in new tab in the current window. Since there is no new tab opened in either option, I can't see why the browser behave differently? Can anybody shed any light on this? -- /Arne ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Scroll down to Hampton Court Palace, Surrey, England, UK. Select the link gardens in the phrase we found the formal gardens. For SeaMonkey 2.0.4, this PDF file opens within my browser using the Adobe Reader plugin nppdf32.dll. Besides the JavaScript situation, other causes of this opening in Adobe Reader itself are: * You are missing the plugin. On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Help About Plugins]. On the resulting page, check to make sure that you see nppdf32.dll. * The PDF file is being incorrectly served by the Web server. It should be served as application/pdf. In my setup, a PDF file served as application/x-pdf will instead open in Adobe Reader itself; I'm not sure of why there is a distinction. You can see how a link is served if you have the LiveHTTPHeaders extension installed in SeaMonkey. * Your setup requests PDF files to be opened in Adobe Reader itself. To see what your setup is for this, select [Edit Preferences] on the SeaMonkey menu bar. On the left side of the Preferences window, under Category, select [Browser Helper Applications]. The Helper Applications pane may show several entries for Adobe; to see the differences in these entries, either stretch the window horizontally or place your cursor over an entry to get a tooltip. In my setup, there are six entries: four of them result in opening the file within SeaMonkey, one results in opening the file in Adobe Reader itself, and one asks the user how the file is to be handled. Three depend on the file-type indicated by the file extension, and three depend on how the file is served. -- David E.

It's not the launching of the PDF reader that throws up the blank page. It's the JavaScript that thinks the PDF file will be viewed in a browser window. However, the PDF file is served by a MIME type that instead requires a separate PDF reader. As I said before, it's the result of a poorly designed Web page. Okay, then give me a link to a site with downloadable PDF-files where this don't happen. Sure there must be at least one you have found, and even that would be one more than I know about. I have also still to find a PDF file that *requires* a separate PDF reader. Only in IE (v.8) I have no clue how to prevent PDF's from opening within the browser window, but since I don't use IE I don't care. ;) I believe it is the code within SM that cause this, not the site. When SM can't decide if the pref settings are set to open within the SM tab/page or within the stand alone PDF reader. How about trying the Family Tree files I have on my website. I use PDF's extensively I just link to to them I have the files loaded on my website. they will either open with a PDFViewer such as adobe's for Safari. Or in a PDF Browser Plugin from Schubert for anything else except for a PDF viewer such as Acrobat Reader, or equivalent. I don't use java or javascript. http://www.phillipmjones.net I messed this up: and correcting below: How about trying the Family Tree files I have on my website.

Web Address History
Ever since I switched to SM 2.x, I get to see only two previous web addresses in the browser screen. (down arrow under the web address space). I used to see a couple dozen. Where can I change a setting to increase this? -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Where is the list where I can put URL to be blocked. Right next to that Block unrequested checkbox, click on Allowed Sites and make sure that list is empty (or, least, devoid of sites from which you don't want popups). There is no block list in SM2 - just a block all option (which you have checked) and that list of exceptions. -JW Yes it is empty but the pesky popup is poping out. Somehow it does not work or there is a work around. We'd need a sample URL where this occurs to say what was going on. Most popups are done in JavaScript, and Mozilla popup blocking works by disabling the JavaScript open unrequested window function that is used to make that happen. You may wish to allow popups for some sites. For example, there are sites that open a popup to queue a download. Meanwhile, you might want to take a look at the NoScript extension. NoScript blocks *all* scripting activity unless the site in in a whitelist. It defaults to blocking JavaScript, but can also block Java, Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight.
