General :: Stop Firefox JavaScript Alert From Beeping
May 10, 2011
When a JavaScript calls the alert() method, Firefox send out a BEEP in my headphones. Does any one know how to stop that sound? I am running the newest Fedora Linux with Firefox 3.6.16 using Kde as desktop environment.
I�m configuring my Ubuntu 11.04 installation but one of the thing that really annoys me is that beeping sound every time I press a key on the keyboard. I haveńt found a way to disable it through System Settings(Sound preferences) and pcspkr is already blacklisted in the blacklist file.
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04. It installed Firefox 3.6.6, and now I and many others have no sound in any internet online javascript games nor in anything else that uses javascript for sound on the internet. I also have one site with a small javascript video issue (fails to fully load a gif image that is loaded by javascript).
The upgrade gave me the openjdk for java. I had no sound as described with firefox 3.6.6 and js. I uninstalled that and installed the sun-java6. This did not help. The problem is not java at all. It the fault solely of that version of Firefox. I also messed up someone else's Hardy 8.04 by allowing their computer to also upgrade to this version of Firefox. This was the only thing upgraded- the only change.
Does anyone know how to revert to Firefox 3.5 or even 3.1? I need all the steps. I have to do this in both Ubuntu 10.04 and in Ubuntu 8.04. It is unacceptable to wait for Mozilla to put out a browser update that really works. It may never happen.
I also need to know how to prevent the 3.5 from being upgraded through update manager after I get a working version back.
I found a work around for the Firefox problem in 10.04. that was to install the Google Chrome Browser which does work with javascript sound. That browser is also very fast. I cannot do this for the other computer having Ubuntu 8.04. It is not in synaptic package manager like it is in 10.04. I still want it in the computer that has 8.04 if Firefox can't be fixed.
I'm loading an XML file stored in a tiny web server (based on lwip). This web server is not very cooperative and is not marking the http content-type as "text/xml". As result, Firefox is not recognizing the file as xml (IE does) so I can't use DOM methods for parsing the xml file. overrideMimeType("text/xml") should help me avoid this problem but, even having overrided the mymetype, the content-type received is still "text/plain". This is a portion of my JavaScript code:
Code: var xmlObj; // loadXMLdata is called from the html file function loadXMLdata() { var dataFile = window.location.href.substring(0, window.location.href.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) + "config/myfile.xml"; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlObj = new XMLHttpRequest();
// This should override the mimetype... if (xmlObj.overrideMimeType) xmlObj.overrideMimeType("text/xml"); xmlObj.onreadystatechange = fillXMLdata; xmlObj.open("GET", dataFile, true); xmlObj.send(""); } else { alert("Your browser can not handle this script"); return; } } // fillXMLdata is called from loadXMLdata once the xml object is ready function fillXMLdata() { if (xmlObj.readyState == 4) { // Here Content-Type shows again "text/plain" alert(xmlObj.getAllResponseHeaders()); var xmlDoc = xmlObj.responseXML.documentElement; // And here section is null var section = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("section")[0]; } } The xml is quite simple:
after installing Firebug add-on using Firefox automatic add-on installation, I try to run a JavaScript debugger. At first, the "Script" tab was grayed out, so I try enable it by click its pull down menu and select "enable"; however this action causes Firefox to crash. Did I install Firebug incorrectly that causing the crashes?
I have tried every conceivable install combo i have found on this and other forums, so far my lady still can't play her favorite on-line puzzle game JAVASCRIPT WILL NOT WORK!
So yeah im new to this Linux stuff but am so excited to join the linux community, when I shut off and stuff I hear this loud beeping noise. I am on a Dell Inspiron E1505 (Maybe a I6400). Linux Mint 7 Gloria
I need a textbrowser with Javascript Support. I have compiled the elinks stable 0.11x and the unstable 0.12x version mit JavaScript Support (js moz dev). Both browsers can be started and showed websites normaly. But no javascript, even simple tests like [URL] failed. I started elink with ./elink and typed then the url.
linux kernel 2.6, Sklackware 12.0. I have the suspicion that the internal pc speaker does not work. Is there a linux application to beep the speaker? Or perhaps somebody could send me a small script to make it beep.
My requirement is that I wanted a shell script which should read the alert.log(oracle) and should send the alert to my email if any error encountered on daily basis. I have a script which does the same job but at the same time it creates a new alert.log whenever any error occur. But I don't want the new alert log I wanted to read the same alert log daily and if any new error come should alert as email.
I'm looking for an existing linux distro with a pure HTML(5) client interface. Sort of like m0n0wall, but then featuring all functionality a modern OS includes, implemented in HTML/Javascript/CSS. Kind of a Skylight clone, but then using only free and OSS software.
I have come across an old bug in Firefox, and I have tried all suggested solutions in the web and still cannot solveI am using Fedora 10 x86_64, and Firefox 3.0.15.Originally, Firefox always ask me if I want to save the tabs when I clicked the close button.One day, I accidentally checked the "Do not show me this again" box, and then Firebox never ask me to save the tabs.I have tried the following without success.
Edit --> Preferences --> Tabs --> Warn me when closing multiple tabs browser.warnOnQuit = true browser.tabs.warnOnClose = true
Just over the past few days Firefox 3.5.8 now starts as soon as the desktop has loaded - it's not set to do this in 'Startup Applications' - how do I stop it starting on boot?Also, over the same period, if I click a javascript link, nothing happens, it no longer opens the relevant page or image; so I click it again and still nothing, however several minutes later the page/image may open, but not always.Also if I close Firefox, then later click a link in an email it no longer opens Firefox - I then have to go into 'System Monitor > Processes', find and then 'end process' for Firefox (cause it's sleeping) before I can actually start it.I've gone in Synaptic and 'reinstalled' Firefox, but it made no difference. I cleared the cache and all cookies as well - could something have got into Firefox, and if so how can I fix it ?
I'm using karmic 9.10 32 bit with kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae update - it appears it's a javascript problem within Firefox as I can no longer open the popup window for online banking from my banks webpage link - I can do this in other browsers such as Epiphany, Google Chrome and Opera, but not in Firefox

Is there any way to find out log files increases we will get automatic email alert. for example if the log file size is 2 MB once the file exceeded 2MB then we will get email alert. is there any script.
I have created which uses Gnome Seed which is in the Ubuntu repositories (although the newest version needs to checked out from Git to allow it to work) and SeedKit which unfortunately isn't in synaptic but needs to be downloaded. The links to get the source for both projects are as follows:

The proof of concept is a JavaScript/HTML based frontend of Gnome's Log Viewer. It doesn't replicate 100% of Log Viewers functionality but it produces the basics of it which is to display the contents of Linux log files. The tutorial and link to download the source files are as follows:

For more information about SeedKit and HTML based User Interfaces are in my blog, link for that post is as follows:
when i first installed Ubuntu my sound card was working but now for some strange reason its making echo distorshion noises and a weird error beeping noise my soundcard is the following Creative SB Xfi S0770
note i do have a sound driver in a folder on my desktop that is the correct driver but it wants me to install it through a terminal i know how to get to it but i dont know the commands to install it the folder on the desktop is called "XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00" and there is a lot of files in their.
When I click on a link in say Evolution, in workspace 1, the page will open in an open Firefox in a different workspace, say 7, but a item will appear on the panel of my current workspace. When I click that item I will be moved to the workspace 7. I find this very confusing.I would prefer the behaviour to be, if there isn't a Firefox in the current workspace to start one and use that rather than reuse one in a different one.
Is there any software I can use in the Gnome desktop environment on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 that alerts me of a new entry in one of my subscribed feeds, via something visual like a popup, glowing, etc.
