I'm trying to print this page under the link graded fabric ArcCom in IE and Firefox. However, it's only printing the first page, without the complete table. How can I fix this problem? Any suggestion?
I suppose you mean link “graded fabrics,” which points to http://www.calibredesign.com/clients/spec/fps_fabric_arc.html (though if you follow the link the simple way, this page opens in a frame). Viewed separately (after right-clicking on the link and selecting “Open in new window”) it seems to get printed OK.
The reason why it does not print OK when opened in a frameset may depend on the large number of HTML syntax errors on the page. Errors like missing </table> tags may confuse browsers in printing.

I have a very pretty calendar report that I've created on one machine, that shows my company's daily revenue as a color coded block for every day for the past several years. After finally getting a color scheme down and pretty much finalizing it, I went to test it on another machine - and hit a rather large obstacle.
This is the report that I used as a template:
http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4063318
It's awesome. And, inside Internet Explorer 11, it looks fantastic. I never would have expected that copying the code and testing the report would produce a blank page, but there it is. On that page, the calendar report is visible. In IE 11. Copying the code to a new html file and opening it, shows nothing. In Firefox, however, everything is visible. as is.
Now, there's a part of that page that points to "//d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"
And I figured out that in order to make that work in firefox I had to add the http: in front, so that's not my issue.
I'm literally sitting here at my desk staring at two browser windows open and pointing to the same html file. One contains my beautiful report, one is a completely blank page.
Some cursory google searches reveal that IE 8 or lower have issues with the svg. I can't seem to find any references on someone having a similar issue though. Their situation seems to be that with IE10, you need to specify the height and width, not just one or the other, to make sure everything scales properly.
If I could have my way, I'd just run Firefox on all of the machines that are going to run the report, even if it's just for that one thing! Alas, I am but a mere peasant coder and so I have to make it work. in the dreaded IE.
Are there any svg/html/d3.js coders out there that can tell me another way to spit out the data I'm using so that I can get what I'm looking for?
copying the code and testing the report would produce a blank page
Because you're outputting invalid HTML. There is no html or head element for starters.
Output your code in to a file like example.xhtml and open it in Firefox (specifically) as it's XML parser will very quickly tell you what line and column the first XML parser error is occurring on. You are rendering in standards mode instead of quirks though that does not imply your page meets standards.
var m=(document.compatMode == 'CSS1Compat') ? 'Standards' : 'Quirks'; window.alert(m+'-mode.');
I've looking for a way to open the browser search function to look for text on only one page of my Wordpress site.
I want this to be self contained on one page. Basically the functionality of pressing Ctrl+F, but have it as a link or button, which in my boss' words, is "for the less tech-savvy users out there."
This is what I found so far
< a href="#" onclick="find();">Click here to search the page < /a>
Which worked great on FireFox, but did nothing in Chrome.
Is there a way to have this work in other browsers or have it so when I click the link on the page, it carries out the Ctrl+F function to open the search box?
Thanks
As far as I know, you can't fire Chrome's native find function without hitting cmd + F. But you can always use window.find(). Perhaps that will help you better
EDIT:
After some testing, I came up with this pen. It works, kinda. I tested it on Chrome, Firefox and IE. Chrome and Firefox highlight the first occurrence of the word. If you click the button fast enough, they might highlight you the second one. IE doesn't do sh*t. Perhaps you could code different solutions for different browsers, but I don't know how that'd fit in your current code. In any case, window.find() has a documentation, but this bug report suggests this method should be terminated.
Another solution entirely: use Javascript's search() or indexOf() going through your whole page (yeah I know), and based on those returns, you can hardcode something that highlights the matched area, such as wrapping it around a <span> that has yellow background. This is but a suggestion, as I have not given it much thought, but I think it will help.
I'm using Firefox developer edition, trying to debug a page (html+javascript) in a frame.
With Firefox 33, in the debugger section I can see the source code of the page inside the frame, activate breakpoints...
My problem with developer edition is that it doesn't show the html code of the page, although it is selected in the left side of the toolbar. It shows some html code, but it's not from the selected page. I can't locate where is it from.
Is there a way to have the same behaviour in debugger for firefox 33 and developer edition?
Thanks in advance, best regards
This is what GC does to you
Short answer, the HTML of the frame was being garbage collected away by the browser engine. This happens when the page/html has no script active on it which has still some work left to do.
This can be otherwise prevented by holding a strong reference to any object in the page and putting it somewhere where the browser thinks that its still being used.
For example,
window.foobar = some_object_from_the_page
will work.
Here is the root cause and a potential & partial fix is coming up in near future.
I have a Wordpress site that uses a JQuery plugin called Hover-Caption ( https://github.com/coryschires/hover-caption ).
The main page of site: (http://brighidfitzsimons.com) looks good.
However in Internet Explorer 9, a similar page based on Category adds a 282px top offset to the post thumbnail image. (http://brighidfitzsimons.com/category/lifestyle/)
I am new web developer so I am struggling to figure out how to isolate problem. Based on this stackoverflow entry ( How do I get rid of an element's offset using CSS? ) my current train of thought is to add a IE specific CSS sheet to 'reverse' the offset but I can't seem to get at the offending element. Also I'm confused why works on main page but not on category page. If you watch page loading carefully, it initially loads correctly then at the very end the images are moved down. Perhaps this is a clue.
First stackoverflow entry so I hope I have followed correct ettiquete. Please advise if you need me to provide any more information.
Thanks for taking time to read problem.

It has something to do with the substitutions of the content inside the title, probably some quirk about ie9 which someone else would have more of an idea for me
just so you can take my word for it: http://jsfiddle.net/BXjK3/
the first two i have removed all the greater, lesser and quotes and it works, but I would say the browser does the substitutions before Javascript can see it, and it all goes down-hill
edit: worth mentioning the reason it looks like that is because the text is no longer properly contained, and so the display none is not taking effect on it, pushing all the images down and making it a jumble, due to the way the content is loaded the ie inspection cannot show me how the text is after the javascript, only what was loaded on page load, so i can't give you more help than that
This may sound like a SuperUser issue, but I wrote the page in question and I'm wondering if there is something I can do to fix the problem....
I have a page in production that simlply displays data in a bunch of tables. Our employees basically go to this page to print a form with our clients information filled in for them. Today for a specific client the page is not printing. I've tried printing using IE 7 and 8 as well as Chrome on Windows XP and Windows 7. This client's data is by no means make the page longer or contain more data that others clients.
Symptoms:
Does NOT print using IE8 or IE7 on WinXP and Windows 7.
DOES print with Chrome.
The page to print is displayed fine as a far as the actual web page goes... it scrolls, there are no errors and and nothing seems to be wrong with the page.
When using IE to print, the document just spools with out actually printing out...I end up canceling the document from the printers window.
When viewing print preview the first page is displayed, but when we try to go to the second page in the print preview IE locks up.
This does not happen for every client, but when it does happen it can be reproduced.
The page is pretty long and has client info that is keeping me from just copy and pasting the markup for you guys. I am hopeing that some one else has experienced a similiar issue in IE and has some advice.
NOTE: The users are not allowed to use other browsers, so save the IE flamming please.
Hmmm, very hard to tell without markup.
Just to throw some ideas:
Are you using anything difficult on the pages, like Flash or Java?
Custom fonts / cufon?
Huge downscaled images?
opacity or IE specific crazy filter CSS rules?
A huge structure that IE doesn't manage to break up into pages, e.g. a giant table with position: absolute ?
If you use images, try turning off the images. Try turning off CSS.
A few things to try when debugging:
Switch everything over to a standard font and font size (e.g. Arial 12px).
Eliminate all CSS and JavaScript, and if that fixes it then you can narrow down from there by taking out chunk by chunk until it starts working.
If that doesn't work, try cutting down the content significantly to see if it will show up.
