I used to use an add-on for firefox called measureit. Now its not working because of firefox keeps updating all the time and the developer hasn't come out with a version of measure it that is supported by newer versions of firefox. Does anyone know a good pixel ruler add-on for FF?
You could download the web developer toolbar. It has a ruler built in. Once you install it, it will appear in your menu bars in firefox. Click on miscellaneous, then click on display ruler.
You could also try searching "pixel ruler".
Not a Firefox extension (it's a Windows app), but you can try Ruler. It's a simple too that does what it says. You don't even need to install it, just click and use.
It can stay on top of other windows, you can drag the borders to resize and switch between vertical and horizontal rulers. You can even open multiple instances.
I had the same issue with MeasureIt, it stops working with some Firefox updates. I found Ruler and been happy with it so far.
Since I upgraded Firefox Developer Edition there have been serious incompatibilities with my previous add-ons.
Measureit add-on is one of the extensions that are not up to date with the new browser.
I found this alternative that works just fine though not as good as Measure it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browser-ruler/
If you are on Firefox developer option click on the tools icons > choose to Get more tools > search for 'ruler' and add it.

We're making a big web form for customers, and it's got half a dozen date fields, for which we are using the Infragistics WebDatePicker control (in asp.net 4.6). They work fine (though applying validators to them was a lot of work) except when we try them on an iPad. In Safari for iOS, tapping on the button to drop down the calendar causes it to flash momentarily and then disappear. No such problem on an android device, so far as we've seen. The problem isn't just on our new page, but on all our old ones that also use the control.
Edit: the problem happens in Safari but not in Chrome.
Has anybody encountered this? Has any work been put into resolving this issue? Or are we the only ones seeing it?
Googling seems to come up empty, and Infragistics' support request page appears to currently be inaccessible.
I'm hoping this doesn't come down to finding a way to instrument 50 javascript events on an ipad.
To update, here is the exact case where we're seeing the problem:
device: iPad Air 2 64gb (model MH2M2LL/A)
system: iOS 8.4.1
browser: Mobile Safari 600.1.4
infragistics version: 15.2 for asp.net 4.5
example site: http://www.infragistics.com/products/aspnet/editors/date-picker
...yup, it's failing in Infragistics' own demo page. (Use the second "view sample" link.)
It doesn't fail every time: sometimes the first click after page load succeeds, but the ones after it all fail.
Second update: Infragistics has entered this in their bug tracker as #216122.
I have tested this with the latest SR for 15.1 and could not reproduce the described issue. In order to receive better support, I suggest you to open a ticket for this issue trough the Infragistics site. What is more, it will be best if you add all the related environment details (like Infragistics product version you are using), and attach a simple code sample in order for the Infragistics Dev Support to reproduce the described behavior.
I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.
i'm new to textmate.
for the "complie&run" job for the java bundle, i set the output: "Show in tooltip" format "text". Everything works exactly as it should. The problem is the tooltip font is not proportional to the font of the text. for ex, doing a "Command+" or "Command-" doesn't proportionately change the font-size of the tooltip.
i also tried $defaults write -g NSToolTipsFontSize 24.0 which does a good job for chrome/safari browser apps (tooltip gets larger) but not for mate.
To know exactly what i mean here's the dropbox link: TextMate ToolTip Image
i am using textmate2, lion 10.7 on a macbookpro.
thank you all in advance.
I'm using Mavericks and needed that as well but could not get NSToolTipsFontSize to work; upon requesting the support staff at to help, they have added the support for that in their edge build.
Now I can use
$defaults write com.macromates.TextMate.preview NSToolTipsFontSize 24
I checked it and it works for me. Please see their response below:-
We’ve added support for this value now, it is available in the current edge build. Go into Preferences and do to the Software Update tab and hold option while clicking check now, you will get r9569 with this added.
(Note that this won’t cover popups created via TMDialog but only those created as output from bundle items, but this will cover 95%+ of the cases.)
com.macromates.TextMate.preview did not work for me on Mac OS 10.13 with TextMate 2.0 RC 10... Below default command rather worked
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate NSToolTipsFontSize 24
I'm having a lot of trouble getting the JQuery Sortable functionality working on my Windows 8.1 device which is running ie11.
I had this working on an iPad through the TouchPunch library, but I've had no luck with the new Dell Tablet I'm working with.
I've ran the webapp through Chrome on the tablet, and the sortable functionality works very smoothly. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it up and running on Internet Explorer 11?
I have tried pulling down various versions of Touch Punch on GitHub, some which attempt to deal with ie10, but I've found nothing that really works with ie11, so I would be glad for some pointers. If I run the [Jquery Sortable Demo][2] on the device, I am able to drag just about by holding to the left of the table row and pulling down at the right point, but this is in no way usable.
Ideally, jQuery mobile would include the sortable functions, but it does not.
***Just to be clear, if I go to the sortable example below on my tablet:
Jquery Sortable
then I can't really get the sort funcitonality to work.
To the above source code, I have added touchpunch library, and also added
-ms-touch-action: none;
to my #sortable class.
According to some online, this should fix the issue on ie10 and ie11, but I'm not seeing it make the remotest bit of difference.
Thanks!
Okay, there was a simple answer to this in the end, although it took me a long time to find it. I started by trying to intercept touch events and failing, which eventually led me to realise that I had added the site to Compatibility View (Settings -> Compatibility View Settings), where I also had checked "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" and "Use Microsoft Compatibility lists").
I think this reverts to the site displaying in ie7 mode. Due to this, I think there are issues with the MS-touch commands being recognised, and so -ms-touch-action: none was having no effect.
To be clear, then, referencing touchpunch, whilst also using -ms-touch-action: none, should get the jQuery sortable functionality working in ie11 - just be sure to check your compatibility settings!
Our big, single-page JavaScript app does not work at all in the Edge browser. (We officially support it in Chrome and Firefox, we don't allow it to be used in IE because it only half works there, and we chose not to do all the IE specific work.)
I have submitted issues in the past to the webkit team via their bugzilla tracker.
I have googled around and do not see a way to submit issues to the Edge team at all.
Is there a known way to collaborate with Microsoft on Edge?
UPDATE
The Edge browser ROCKS. MS killed it with this one. We were able to fix our issues (we had a logging lib that was specif to ffox and chrome), and found Edge to be completely issue-free once that was done.
Nice work (amazing, awesome work) Microsoft and Edge team!
