firefox-3

Why does FF3 say "Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement.tagName" ?

When I run this through FireFox 3: <script type="text/javascript" src="../resources/dojo-1.2.3-src/dojo/dojo.js" djConfig="parseOnLoad: true"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../resources/dojo-1.2.3-src/dojo/dijit.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> dojo.require("dojo.parser"); dojo.require("dijit.InlineEditBox"...

Firefox 3 Centering Bug (any CSS Hacks or Fixes?)

I'm having issues with centered items in Firefox 3. (I searched and couldn't find this answered -- hopefully not a re-post) I stripped the code down to just two elements to demonstrate this -- you can see it here: http://prwmusic.com/misc/csstest/home-sample-fix.html Now slowly make the browser window wider and narrower. Assuming you a...

jQuery each tr.children is undefined in Firefox 3.0

I have a snippet of code that I'm working with to filter rows in a table. It works perfectly in every browser other than Firefox v3.0.x (works fine with 3.1 beta 2). When I run the snippet in Firefox 3.0.x, it says that children is undefined. I am using jQuery v1.2.6 also. Code Snippet: var bodyRows = $("#resultsTable tbody tr"); bo...

Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 <audio> tag not working in RHEL 5

Has anyone been playing with the Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 audio tag? The developer site says they added support for it but I can't get it to work in RHEL 5. I've tried it with both .wav and .ogg and all I get is the error message I put between the tags rather than it playing the audio file. Thanks. ...

jQuery: Why do hidden table cells get (sort of) shown again when I measure their height in FF3 and Chrome

I can successfully hide some table cells using jQuery. When I then measure the height of a hidden cell, the space that the cell would occupy if not hidden appears as blank space, pushing all the remaining cells in that row across by one column. It's as if the the cell is reinserted in the table flow, but its content is hidden. The exampl...

HTML 5 Reference Implementations

I'm looking for a good article or description of what HTML 5 actually is or isn't. At Google I/O last year, I kept hearing that Google Gears can be thought of as a reference implementation of HTML 5. Shortly thereafter Yahoo's BrowserPlus plugin came out with similar functionality. And Firefox has some offline support, I think? So again,...

Cross-browser jQuery transition animation?

Are there any jQuery 1.3 animation-transitions that work in both Firefox 3 and IE7? I have a table with multiple table rows (25 or more), with some of the rows starting hidden (these rows all share a common class; in this example, it's ".hidden"). In the table header is a "Show more" link which is bound via .click() to a function that w...

Firefox Bookmarks SQLite structure

Hi, I am trying to write a Firefox 3 add-on which will enable me to easily re-tag bookmarks. For example I have some bookmarks tagged "development" and some tagged "Development" and I would like a way to easily update all the "delelopment" tags to "Development". Unfortunately I can not find an add-on to do this so I thought I would crea...

FireFox 3 line-height

Firefox 3 has introduced a new behavior in which line-height, when unset, differs from how other browsers render it. Thus, a critical section maybe render too high in that browser. Setting a global percentage doesn't work, since it's basis is different. Setting a unitless value such as "1" doesn't work either. Is there some way to normal...

Chrome or Firefox (or browser-agnostic) for an intranet app?

If you were designing a core business intranet app for a small business, and wanted it to be as responsive-feeling as possible, where the staff are indifferent to being stuck with a certain browser, would you design for Firefox, Chrome, or test more widely than you need to just to avoid lock-in? Are there other factors you'd consider be...

Is there any way to stop Firefox from submitting a form on a Javascript error? Maybe in about:config?

Is there any way to stop Firefox from submitting a form on a Javascript error? I mean I know I can use an alert box or firebug to stop it from doing so, but...not all pages that people work on work with Firebug, and that alert box is just annoying... Maybe there's a setting in about:config? I could twiddle with? ...

AJAX https POST requests using jquery fail in Firefox

I have a simple list of records in an HTML table with a delete link for each row. The delete link shoots off an AJAX post request to a fixed url that looks like: "/delete/record/5" The AJAX request is created using jquery's .ajax() call with a POST message when running on a server that uses https. This call fails in Firefox 3 on OSX/W...

IE7 and Firefox 3 Rendering Difference

Here is an outline of a page I'm developing. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt; <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/test.css" /> ...

Can Firefox's "view source" be set to not make a new GET request?

This is sort of tangential to coding, but programmers often do "view source" on their own pages and on others' pages. I learned that when you do the normal View Source in Firefox, it takes the URL you're at and issues another GET request to that URL. There are two reasons why this is bad: If you've just issued a POST and do View Source...

Getting Firefox 3 to work with JSUnit

Thus far this is what I've tried, I'm using Firefox 3.07 Make sure in about:config that the property browser.cache.check_doc_frequency is set to 1 which the browser interprets as "check for a new page every time". Make sure in about:config that the property security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy is set to false. When opening your browse...

sIFR 3.0 - Text wrap/wrapping inconsistent in Firefox 3 on PC only.

This is a recurring problem I have in Firefox 3.0. It seems when I keep refreshing sometimes it wraps, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't wrap, I can adjust the window size and the sIFR'd element will snap to its correct size. I need my elements to wrap on load, based on the width of it's container. I have the most current 'nightly b...

Why doesn't ":active" work properly inside a Gecko frame?

It seems to me that Gecko has a bug involving ":active". To illustrate, put this into a file called test.html: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "hxxp://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en" > <head> <style type="text/css"> .clic...

FireFox stuck on "waiting for" or "transferring data from"

I have a website that includes a button which is CSS-styled to show a distinct image on hover. I wait for the page to load completely, then move my mouse over that button. Firefox will show the new image, but the status bar becomes stuck showing either "transferring data from www.server.com" or "waiting for www.server.com" and this neve...
