Hey all, I have a simple search box that it hidden until hover(over) and hides again on hover(out). In Firefox all is normal, but in Safari there is a tiny flash after the hide animation where the full bar is visible. You can see what is happening (in Safari only) on the homepage of my site: stormink.net. (the search button is in the to...

How Firefox renders links

I just would like to share some of my observation on how Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope renders HTML: I have the following entries in my JSP page: <a title="myLink" href="[some url]">link 1</a> <a title="myLink" href="[some url]">link 2</a> <a title="myLink" href="[some url]">link 3</a> <a title="myLink" class="hiddenLink" h...

Firefox extension - How to display an html block that overlaps the browser window?

I'd like to have my firefox extension display a block of html that overlaps the users browser window. I can currently do this by having some JS that inserts html into the DOM of the page, but I'd like the html to be displayed at a higher level within the browser so that the block remains if the user browses to a new page or switches tabs...

Hi Guys, I am trying to declare the border of a div using hsl() like this: border: 2px solid hsl(0,200,105); I am using Firefox 3.5 and there is no border being rendered at all.

jQuery html() in Firefox (uses .innerHTML) ignores DOM changes

I'm really suprised I haven't run into this problem before, but it seems that calling jQueries .html() function on an element ignores changes in the DOM, i.e it returns the HTML in the original source. IE doesn't do this. jQueries .html() just uses the innerHTML property internally. Is this meant to happen? I'm on Firefox 3.5.2. I have...

I have a shoppingcart control that lists the items in cart.

Sporadic "SetVariable is not a function" in Firefox

I'm using swfObject to embed a flash player in my app. Sporadically, I see errors in FireFox (only, not in IE or Chrome) when trying to communicate with the embedded flash object. The error says "SetVariable is not a function". The code which causes this error executed fine just moments ago, and now shows this error. If I re-load the pag...

fixed position element causes distortion when scrolling

Hi, On this page there's a black logo box on the right of the page whose position is fixed. The divs that hold the photo and the main content area have their position set to relative. In Firefox 3.5, if you scroll up and down the page, you'll notice a really ugly distortion in the relatively positioned divs - it appears as though the co...

Browser opening text/xml in external program

Is there a smart way to - from a browser - open hrefs to text files and XML files in an external program. My target platform is Win32 so preferably I'd have the files open in the default editor for it (as set in explorer.exe). The solution must work in Firefox. It's a bonus if it works in IE and Crome. My html is generated from a local...

Selectable input fields and textareas but no other content selectable in Firefox?

I need to prevent users from selecting elements in my web app UI, except for text in input fields and textareas. For Firefox, the technique seems to be to use this css: * { -moz-user-select: none; } And that works well enough (tested Firefox 3.5.2), except that you cannot then select within input fields or textareas. I tried dividin...

Basically, when I focus on an input field and hit f5 the contents of that input field gets copied to the next form field after the F5 refresh.
