Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / November 2006Browser Won't Insert Text
Mac G4 1.8Ghz running 10.3. Occasionally, various webpages will not accept inserted text in Safari, Mozilla, and Firefox. Rebooting, re-installing, repairing permissions, doesn't work. It's particularly annoying using Pair.com mail, which relies on the browser window. Any ideas what could cause this? Strange parameter corruptions? Option not set right? PHP errors? Any ideas????

Do you mean pasting text that is on the clipboard? > Mac G4 1.8Ghz running 10.3. Occasionally, various webpages will not > accept inserted text in Safari, Mozilla, and Firefox.

Are you trying to paste text into a Web site? is the Web site providing a field for insertion? is the text formatted, and is formatting allowed in that place?

It's OS X and you wonder why it's not working right? My idea is simple - go try it a Windows machine and see if it works. If it does, then you have the problem isolated. > My idea is simple > - go try it a Windows machine and see if it works. ...great idea ;) if you ever change the OS when hitting a crappy website, lot's of changes to do per day... >> My idea is simple >> - go try it a Windows machine and see if it works. > ...great idea ;) > if you ever change the OS when hitting a crappy website, lot's of > changes to do per day... I'm down to viewing pages on a vast array of abacuses hanging on the side of the building across the street. Not a very good resolution, but the standards compliance is excellent. ;) > Any ideas what could cause this? ...a break in the text you want to paste? False length of content? (to many characters) Does the copied content paste into a text editor's page without probs? (try BBedit or TextEdit) Where do you copy your content from?

It's just that the windows that come up to allow one to type into them just don't accept the typed characters. It's weird. Mark |
