Have you ever loaded a video on the Internet and, instead of the video playing, you got a weird, greenish-tinted screen that moved a bit but didn’t let you see the video? I had that problem for months, and finally solved it about a week ago. I’d been planning to write a post, but apparently now I don’t have to. Amit Agarwal, as he always does, explains how to solve the green screen problem:

If you refresh the web page, the ‘green screen’ problem might vanish temporarily but it is very likely to stage a comeback in your next browsing session. And this problem is not specific to YouTube but any video website that uses the Adobe Flash Player.

The fix is however simple. While you are on a video page, right click anywhere inside the Flash Player and choose settings. Now click the first tab that says Display (look for the monitor icon) and uncheck “Enable Hardware Acceleration.”

If that doesn’t make sense, watch the screencast in his post to see exactly how to do it.

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat X on mac, and when I opened up firefox I noticed that I got a new addon titled "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0." The uninstall and disable buttons are not greyed out, but when I try to uninstall the addon and restart firefox it's still there. I could not find a settings in adobe acrobat to disable this addon, but one peculiar point was in preferences under "internet" the "display pdf in browser using" option was checked and greyed out. However, I do not know whether this is pertinent to this problem. How do I get rid of the addon? Adobe acrobat x did not install any additional plugins. Any help would be appreciated.

It’s all set for Firefox 7 final release on September 27th of this month, Mozilla follows Chrome and Opera removes http:// protocol and trailing slash by default in the location bar for user friendly and better readability, that means you can only view or for that matter Firefox shows www.Example.com in the address bar. It may be confusing for novice users, here is how to enable or show http:// in the location bar again.

NB: But Firefox will display https:// prefix in the URL bar to let the users know they’re are on secured page and when you copy and paste URLs Firefox will include http prefix.

Answer

1. Type “about:config “ in the address bar
2. Search for browser.urlbar.trimURLs
3. Double click on the browser.urlbar.trimURLs key to change its boolean value from true to false.

Now type any website URL in the browser, HTTP:// will be shown greyed out (not highlighted) for a change in Firefox 7 when compared to previous versions.

Update: Set “browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled” preference to false after the above mentioned steps to remove the highlighting.

I am receiving this error everytime i  boot my windows. It can possibly cause a BSOD.

I have a problem: I want to redirect via JavaScript to a directory above.

You can do a relative redirect:

{code}document.location.href = '../'; //one level up{/code}Or{code}document.location.href = '/path'; //relative to domain{/code}

• see why you should use window.location.replace stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/…
• When you want to simulate a link, you should use window.location.href. You should only use window.location.replace when you want to simulate an http redirect (thus not generating a history item).
• By the way, document.location was intended as a read-only property. It is safer to use window.location. See this question.
• If you use location.path you will get your domain.com part. Then location.pathname will give you /path/folder. I would split location.pathname by / and reassemble the URL. But unless you need the querystring, you can just redirect to .. to go a directory above.

I have the S2 for 3 days now and just now and yesterday the phone just shut itself down and restart again. I think it happened 3 times in two days. So, I want ask if anyone experiencing the same thing and should I return the phone and get a new one?

It is most likely caused by an application that is on the SD card. Not all applications are 100% compatible with being on the SD Card.

• Move all applicatioins of the SD Card on to the main phone memory
• if the above does not work uninstall applications until the problem is resolved.

Even if it is not an application being on the SD Card that is the issue it is most likely an application.

Since you received a PSD file and you want to turn it into a webpage, here is what you do, in a nutshell...

1) Open the PSD document in Photoshop and edit it the way you want.

2) Once you are done, and this is important...use the SPLICE TOOL to break up the PSD document into images...each splice will be a jpg file that you would save.

3) Go to File--Save for Web and you'll see your splices pieced together.

4) Select JPG HIGH for your resolution so that your images don't appear all blocky and pixel-like...

5) Save the PSD file as a .html file (i.e. index.html, whatever.html, etc.)

6) Next, open Dreamweaver, or your favorite HTML editor. Go to File--Open to open the PSD document...

7) Center the document...

8) If you need to add meta tags or keywords for SEO purposes, do so in the document.

Also there are some occompanying videos. Google "How To Create A Squeeze Page From Scratch"...

Flash animation is the standard for Internet video. Videos on YouTube and other websites use SWF (.swf) files, which are the Web-optimized output of Flash (.fla) files. An SWF file in and of itself cannot be edited. It is akin to a Photoshop (.psd) file that has been flattened to a .jpg, .gif or .pdf file made from an Acrobat file. The only guaranteed way to edit an SWF file is to have access to its original Flash file. Third party decompilers can do some of the conversion, but they do not successfully convert all Flash elements as well as Adobe Flash.
