[WSG] Firefox & Wmode

[John Gribben]

Hello,

 

Does anyone have any experience dealing with the bug in Firefox that
disables mouseover events in Flash when the animation file is placed in an
absolutely positioned element and the Wmode parameter of the animation is
set to "transparent" or "opaque"?  I've built a page where an animation is
positioned beneath some other elements, and a button is not clickable in
Firefox.

 

Thanks,

John

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but I haven't seen anybody 
mention this - if this has been reported before sorry.

Firefox has an extension called EditCSS that allows you to edit CSS 
live in your browser.  Actually, you can view and edit any CSS from any 
site (only your machine).  Then you can save your changes.  This will 
save me so much time.

[WSG] Firefox filter?

[Kenny Graham]

Believe it or not, part of my site works on every browser I've tested
-except- firefox.  That's right.  It works on IE, Opera, etc, but
Firefox screws it up.  Is there any valid way make firefox (well,
gecko in general) ignore a rule, while still serving it to all other
browsers?  The only method I can find is this:

selector { { declaration }

which obviously invalidates the css.

Incase anyone's curious, the problem involves using a non-repeating
animated gif as the background of a link, and a different
non-repeating animated gif as the background when that link is
hovered.  I'm using it to make a bullet slide toward the link on
hover, and slide back away from it on blur.  After one link is hovered
for the first time, every hover after that causes it to skip from the
first frame to the last, then back to the first, ignoring all frames
in-between.

[WSG] Firefox Promotion

[Trovster]

I have started a little site for the promotion of Firefox
http://firefox.trovster.com

But as you can see it's pretty thin at the moment.

I have added my favourite extensions, with links and short
descriptions to the "customise" section, and links to other resources
in the "links" section (funny that!).

I am looking for some help in writing some motivational words in the
"about" and "why" sections. I have outlined some sections I would like
in the "why" section but I would like some help writing it.

Also, send me information on more articles and favourite extensions/themes etc.

If anyone can help, you can either email me personally or keep it on the list. 

Thanks

[WSG] Firefox 1.0

[Brendan Smith]

Hi all,

Well it's finally here. Firefox 1.0. Yeah, you probably already know, but
for those that don't...

With an amazing history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox) of
development, this little-browser-that-could has finally reached a milestone
to be proud of.

If you're as much of a Firefox buff as I am, maybe you might want to let
some of your IE using visitors and friends know of this lightweight
(4.7mb!), safer, feature packed alternative. I'll stop there before I sound
too evangelical.

Go here and grab it from the official website at
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, though
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1032985422/1 and
http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2356_4-10335582.html?tag=lst-2-
4 might have it in your hands a little quicker. Download.com has registered
nearly a million downloads! Holy Toledo!

There are also a couple of Torrents running too:
Windows version:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/en-US/Fire
fox%20Setup%201.0.exe.torrent 
Linux version:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/en-US
/firefox-1.0.tar.gz.torrent 

If you're a web developer, you can't miss out on installing extensions like
the 
> Web developer extension - a plethora of tools, too many to list!
> Colorzilla - a colour picker and zoom tool, DOM inspector and more.
> JavaScript debugger - Venkman JavaScript debugger in an extension.
> IE View - View the current page in IE, for those stubborn sites built old
OLD school, or for testing your latest creation.
> FirefoxView - just like the previous extension, just in reverse!
> Html Validator - works in the view source window, great when you're
offline or at a client site with just a browser and !

Go and check them out at
https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox, though the
Firefox extension site may be a little busy for a while.

One other thing I have noticed is that the native stylesheet switcher in
Firefox has not made a comeback - however there is an extension out there
called "Style Sheet Chooser" that has brought it back from the forgotten.

Ok, that's all from me on the Firefox front. Hope it helps.

Brendan.

[WSG] firefox bug?

[Alan Trick]

I've been working on redesigning a website and I have a bug where there 
is a bit of space at the top of the body that won't go away.  I'm not 
sure it it's padding or margin or what, but I tried setting all of those 
to 0 and it wouldn't go away, I want to be able to line those black 
buttons up to the very top of the page. I played around with some stuff 
and I found that changing the top margin on div#header doesn't do 
anything in firefox unless it's greater than 1em or something.  Could 
this be a firefox bug or is it my code?

[WSG] Firefox 1.0.3

[Ian Fenn]

Hello,

Has anyone else noticed any issues with their standards-compliant websites
and the new Firefox 1.0.3?

One of my client sites which looked great in Firefox up to v1.0.2 suddenly
looks a bit strange. The most significant difference is that background
images inserted through the css do not seem to be displayed.

All the best,

[WSG] Firefox bug?

[designer]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have been trying to produce a gallery thing without using a table, and my
test file has four images in a vertical column. It all seems fine, except in
FF1.0, where the second and fourth images display several dashed lines
across the image. (on the face of it, they are all the same) If I refresh
the page the lines disappear, but on scrolling they come back again. No
other browser (by which I mean IE6 and 5.5, Opera, Mozilla) displays this
problem.  The file in question (which includes the CSS as yet) is at:

http://www.treyarnon.fsworld.co.uk/wg/galleryv2.html

If anyone could take a look and advise I'd be really grateful, as it's
driving me nuts. The CSS is simple - the soln isn't.  I'm using winXP and a
Matrox graphics card (which may or may not be relevant, of course). I have
also looked at this on two pc's . . .

Thank you,

Bob McClelland,

Have you tried giving the element a z-index?

 

I used to have similar issues with a menu which displayed over a flash
element. Using a z-index solved this.

 

Hope that's useful?

Do you have other flash items on the page?

 

We had a problem like this while building Yahoo! Tech. We played around with
z-index elements for days. Eventually, we discovered an overlapping flash
module that was actually throwing a transparent layer above other elements.
While the bad flash movie was fairly small, it had animated sections that
grew and caused the problem.  Also go through your javascript and look for
anything that is creating a container with z-index that could be causing an
overlap. 

 

I hope that helps

It doesn't have to. There are instructions on the mozilla.org developer pages
for running as many concurrent versions of Gecko products as you wish. The
particulars depend on your environment. Linux & Mac & Win don't all work
exactly the same.

Don't install as replacement before checking if extensions you depend on are
ready for it.

[WSG] Firefox rendering issue

http://www.americanmotorcycles.com.au/spyder.html

IE displays as intended but since I made some changes to other parts of 
the site, Firefox displays incorrectly.


It seems to want to put  #contentdata directly under  #box instead of 
under  #contentpics. 


Can anyone see where I have gone wrong?

[WSG] Firefox 0.8 bug?

[Justin French]

Hi all,

I'm playing around with some web pages which have a wrapper div 
centering the entire web page contents via margin: auto;.

My experience and testing with this method has led me to believe that's 
it's virtually flawless -- until I looked at my current page (and 
others) in Firefox 0.8 on Win XP.

The bug:

While viewing http://www.simplebits.com/ , 
http://www.9rules.com/whitespace/ , or any other site which uses this 
method on Firefox 0.8 under Windows XP, there's something definitely 
wrong.

- At 1280 x 1024, the layouts are perfectly centred with no problems.

- At 1024 x 768, the layouts are a *little* off-centre to the right.

- At 800 x 600, the layouts are a *lot* off-centre to the right, with 
content disappearing off the right side -- and worse still, no scroll 
bars are enabled to allow me to view the missing content.

The bug is not present in Mozilla 1.6 or Mac Firebird, but given the 
amount of fixed-width, centred sites using this method, I'm thinking 
this is a big problem :)

Is there a work-around, or do we just wait for the next release, and 
hope that people don't stick with 0.8 for ever?

PS: had a quick look in Bugzilla, but couldn't find anything related.

[WSG] Firefox top margin

[Webmaster]

Hi guys,
 
I'm sure this has been covered but it didn't appear in an archive search.
How in blazes does one remove the top margin in Firefox? I've add 0px margin
and padding to *, html, boday and my top DIV and still it persists.

I've already tried removing the first hidden DIV and anchor to no avail.

No hacks please. I'm aiming for a single stylesheet that will validate.
Hopeful, I know. ;)

And is 100.01% still the recommended font-size for body?

No live link I'm afraid but the relevant code follows.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

[WSG] firefox for OS9?

[Drake, Ted C.]

Sorry for a possibly off-topic post.  We have a client on our intranet that
needs to look at our site on OS9.2.  I couldn't find information on the
Firefox web site about compatibility with this platform. Does anyone know
where I could send this person for more advice?

I did find the Opera version for her.
http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=mac&ver=6.03

I'd like to give her both options.  Is there a Safari version for OS9?

Thanks

[WSG] FireFox DOM issue.

[Buddy Quaid]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this group and this is my first message.

I am porting over a rich text editor that currently only works in IE.

I have done tons of search about getting the selected text in a page.
I'm very close...for instance...you can now see the formatting buttons
and also I have the correct code to get it to know what is selected and
if you click 'bold' it will put the bold tags around it in a text box.

I want it so that if NOTHING is selected and you hit bold it will give
you an alert box for the text that you would like bolded. Then plance
that text with the bold tags around it. My problem is I can't get the
right code of the DOM to test correctly for a selection being made in
the text box.

I am currently trying

Str = window.getSelection;
If (str.isCollapsed) {
   if true do this;
}else{
do this;
}

I put alert(str.isCollapsed) in there to trace what is going on but it's
ALWAYS true.

I'm wondering if it's because the text is in a textarea and not just on
the page?

Like I said, I have been getting it to work without sniffing to see if a
selection has actually been made to put the tags around the text but I
can't for the life of me sniff it out through code.

I've also tried 

Str = window.getSelection;
If(str.toString().length > 0) to no avail.

Thanks in advance!

Buddy

[WSG] Firefox Greyscale Extension

[Marcel Pociot]

Hallo 
zusammen!

 
Ich suche nach einer 
Erweiterung für Firefox , die es ermöglicht eine Webseite in Graustufen anzeigen 
zu lassen.
Im Bezug auf 
Barrierefreiheit ist die Darstellung der Farben in Grautönen mit ausreichendem 
Kontrast eine Prio 1.
Allerdings ist es 
etwas umständlich von dem Bildschirm ständig Screenshots zu machen und diese in 
Grautöne umzuwandeln.
 
Wenn es eine 
einfache Firefox-Plugin Lösung  geben würde, wär ich sehr 
erfreut.
 
Google hat mir 
leider nicht weitergeholfen.
 
Mit freundlichen 
Grüßen,
 
Marcel 
Pociot

[WSG] Firefox rendering issue

[Marco van Hylckama Vlieg]

Hello all,

I'm seriously annoyed by some sort of rendering bug in Firefox and I
wonder if anyone has a workaround.

It seems whenever the HTML contains an image with no width/height or
whenever the html is updated on the fly through Ajax, the page is messed
up.

It can be seen (the Ajax issue) on my comment form on my site.

For example:

http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/archive/2005/09/10/behold_web_20

If the visitor hits the 'Instant Preview' button, an empty div is filled
up with HTML. Firefox garbles the layout. When one resizes the firefox
window everything is ok again.

Safari and Internet Explorer don't have this problem at all.

Any advice?

Best regards,

Marco

[WSG] Firefox caption madness

[Jake Badger]

I'm getting a weird problem when I try and absolutely position something
in a table caption. It all works fine in IE, but in Firefox if I try the
page below the caption is only as wide as the first cell in the table.
If I remove the "display:block;" on the caption then the caption is
the full width of the table but the absolutely positioned "em" element
is in the top left of the page rather than of the caption element. Any
one have any ideas on what's going on here?
