I've got a very basic HTML page, which only has to show a javascript alert.
I hear the sound that it's supposed to make when it pops up, but it's not popping up! I don't see it anywhere (in google chrome it does pop up). I also can continue working on my page without clicking "ok" on the (invisible) alert box, so that means that it really isn't there!
Any clues on how to solve this? I already rebooted my pc and disconnect my multiple monitors.
<script>
alert('SHOW!!');
</script>
More info:
My IE version is IE11
The popup did work properly before, without making changes to IE
On other websites, the popup isn't showing aswell
I did reset my IE properties (to factory default), no result
unable to test on older versions
Javascript is enabled

This is my website.
I'm currently working on multi-choice filters, or rather on resetting them. There is no problem on PC.
Click the X button and it clears the filter
But the same simple thing doesn't work like this on mobile devices. I don't understand why.
You need to click an area below the X button, well below, to dismiss the filter.
This is how you need to click to make it work
Also, I just realized that when clicking like this there is an error in the console.
Error in the console after successful dismissing
I'm testing the mobile behavior in Opera (PC version, last update) using the Inspector with mobile simulation; the device is irrelevant. You can try it too.
The same behavior occurs on an actual android, both in Chrome and Opera.
Side notes!
If you activate the dropdown search in any multichoice field, while it's visible, the close buttons work perfectly well and precisely on mobiles. (Although the behavior of this dropdown panel is weird too. It does not always drops down when focusing on a field, as it does on PC.)
When I tried to locate the close button using the console and Jquery and then applied .click(), it worked. So I guess the problem doesn't lie in JS.
If you want to test it on a phone choose the Desktop site. On the mobile view, though, another peculiar thing occurs-the blue X button to the right of the field doesn't work.
PS. I've been wracking my brains for 3 hours to solve this mystery, yet no result. Please help!
The culprit was the "chosen" plugin. Don't use this crappy plugin. They simply don't support mobile devices and have tons of bugs.
I switched to Select2 and everything is great.
I'm working on a site that uses a video recorded via the user's webcam. The recorder library is not my code, but at a high level, it tries to use HTML5 (Media Recorder API) where possible and falls back onto Flash where not. On Safari, this means Flash. Basically, I supply the library with a div where I want the recorder to appear and it inserts it there.
However, some of my users were reporting confusion on Safari (the video recorder was not showing up) and I was able to reproduce this confusing situation. With Safari 12.0 on Mac OS 10.13.6 with Adobe Flash installed and enabled in Safari:
when I navigate to the page with the video recorder, I expect to see a "Click to use Flash" button on the video recorder area. But, when I first load the page, the area is complete blank. Strangely, it appears that the button is indeed there, but just not showing:
When I click on the area where the button should be, it responds (and prompts me to enable flash)
When I open the Web Inspector tool, the button appears (you can also see the code for the Flash object here that gets inserted dynamically)
When I simply resize the window, the button appears
I don't use Safari as my regular browser, so it's not like I have a highly customized configuration. Unless I'm missing something, this feels like a bug in Safari (I filed a bug report, but they specifically say they do not respond).
I've tried some javascript tricks to "re-draw" the element (e.g. hide then show) to try and get the button to show up right away, but without any luck. Obviously I can't tell users "resize the window" or "click in the middle where there is supposed to be a button".
Any ideas what could be causing this and how to fix it?
How not to allow Alert Box to be dismissed when tabs switched.
Using alert("Test"); on Google Chrome, when you switch tabs, the alert dialog box disappears, and when you're back on the same tab you have full access.
What I want is to do the same thing as stackoverflow website when you create a question and try to close the tab, there's a dialog box that pops up that doesn't allow you to go anywhere until you choose between (Leave or Stay).
IE and Firefox work differently, I mean block the tab when using alert("Test"); statement but Google Chrome doesn't block.
I sent a bug report to Google but they replied to me that :
This is working as intended, see Issue 629964.
It's not a security bug; a user could make the dialog box disappear with developer tools or myriad other tricks as well.
I was able to get around this issue by calling my javascript alert in an iframe
I would like to point out that this appears to have reached a compromise; current (Version 110.0.5481.104 (Official Build) (64-bit)) shows alert() and confirm() on the tab, but do not prevent going to another tab.
When user returns to the original tab - the message box is still there waiting for them.
So this allows persistence, without "hijacking the browser". :)
There are a lot of tutorials on how to do this, and the crux of it seems to be changing the title constantly so the browser tab or taskbar will flash, however this doesn't seem to work for me.
I can see the tab changing its title, but it doesn't flash, so I am wondering if this is something which is no longer allowed by browsers?
I am using Windows 8.1, however have also tried Windows XP
I am using Firefox 25.0.1 and Chrome 31.0.1650.57 and neither of them react how I would expect.
As an example go to:
https://rawgithub.com/heyman/jquery-titlealert/master/example/index.html
(Make sure you click the shield icon in your url bar to allow the scripts to run on that page)
Then if you click the default example button and switch tabs, I would expect the tab hosting that page to blink or flash to indicate the tab has new content, however it doesn't do that for me, although I can see the text changing constantly.
Does anyone else have this issue and know how to solve it or why it occurs? I am looking to implement a feature in a chat system where it notifies you to new messages, however for some reason the code works fine and the title changes, but the taskbar or tab do not flash or anything and the users are really wanting this feature soon.
There seems to be no information on the internet related to this so im a bit confused and came here as a last resort.
In Firefox, tab flashes when title is changed ONLY if it is a pinned tab.
Working on a web application and find the Firefox error console to be indispensable.
However I recently upgraded to FF 4 and now when I click errors in the console, the source code doesn't come up like it used to. Not sure it's related to the upgrade but timing is about right.
I've looked over about:config options, made sure the console is enabled, etc. Spent a long time with google trying to find someone else with this problem... nothing.
I get the "hand" cursor when hovering over the URL as if clicking it will do what I expect. However, nothing at all happens. Nada.
I've looked around for hidden windows and even tiny ones but can't find anything...
Any ideas?
Well, I can't exactly figure out why this is happening, but I did find that it only happens when I have the Error Console window on a different display as the main window. I use 2 displays to make debugging easier and moving the error console window to the main display makes it work again.
On a Mac, FWIW.
