TinyMCE not capturing spacebar/whitespace keypress - firefox

I ran into a strange issue with tinyMCE that i was not able to replicate outside of my complete framework. The whole thing runs only in FireFox, as it supports only FF, therefore the issue is limited to FF.
I use AJAX calls to dynamically load one or multiple instances of tinyMCE.
However, when entering/editing text the spacebar will not work in the text editor. All other keys work, but the spacebar does not. Instead it triggers a page jump in the browser window itself.
This issue only occurs on Windows under FF 12.0
It all works perfectly fine on FF under OSX.
I was unable to find out why this would be happening. Perhaps somebody can give constructive input. Thank You!

This problem is a bug in TinyMCEs input handling and occurs in some cases when TinyMCE is being introduced to a document dynamically.

Mac Safari Textarea Issue

I've done searches on this but can't find any information. On a Mac in Safari, I have a chat program and on the Customer Service side the textarea does not remove the previously typed answer. So the CSR has to highlight the text and then type her response. Any suggestions with how to clear the textarea? OR any suggestions what so ever? Thanks!
Unfortunately, the "chat program" in question was probably written to specifically handle "placeholder" text for IE, since IE doesn't recognize it like most other browsers.
I've tried to write simple jQuery code to get placeholder text to show up in IE before myself, but ended up abandoning it because it caused the effect you're describing in other browsers.
If you don't have direct control over the "chat program", I fear there is probably no way to "fix" this issue.

Unable to highlight text in textboxes in IE9

I have C# MVC web app that has some textboxes that in IE9 you can enter in text, but you can't highlight via the mouse or via holding shift and the arrow keys.
I've looked around on the web and i've found other people experiencing this, with no solution.
One site i found claimed it was an issue with IE9 on pages that make multiple AJAX calls, which my site has but, removing AJAX really isn't a solution.
Is there a way via code or via settings in IE9 so that users can highlight text in a textbox? Or is this an outstanding bug in IE9?
Edit:
The website works perfectly fine in chrome
Turns out it was a rogue jquery statement that was
(.someClass).disableSelected()
that was disabling selection on every single textbox in my site. The kicker being that IE and Chrome handled it one way and Firefox a different way making it seem like a different bug
I had the same issue.
Select Tools on the IE bar / F12 developer tools. under the tab ( Document Mode IE9 standards ) check marked Alt+9. Closed the developer box. Closed IE9 opened it back up and everything worked as it should.
Hope this helps.

Invalid positioning of HTML5 form validation bubble in Chrome

Anyone have an explanation why the Form Validation Bubble is positioned with a large offset in Google Chrome when attempting to validate a form hosted in a jquery UI dialog? You can observe that the positioning works ok when removing the javascript call that creates the dialog. It's working fine in Firefox and Opera.

This been confirmed to be a bug in Chromium.
It is a Chrome bug, seems they already saw it. I hope they can fix it for next version....

Cannot click or select inputs on IE 8 Form

So basically been working on this issue for far too long now and nothing I do seems to fix the issue.
Basically if you go to http://www.completeenergy.co.uk and click on the "Get a Quote" button then try to enter details into the form nothing happens. You can not click on the inputs and or select anything within the form. This seems to happen in both IE7 and IE8.
Any ideas as to why this would happen when all other browsers seem to be working fine?
Okay, I seem to have accidentally come across the culprit. There was some strange conflicting issues arising from using the jquery pngfix. I made it so only versions lower than IE 7 can use it and boom, it starts working again.
Thanks for the help though.
not sure, but it worked fine for me in IE8. Do you have any toolbars installed?
This common issue is usually due to a z-index bug in IE. Try giving the input relative positioning and assigning a higher z-index.
I was clicking on a form on a company intranet web site and nothing was happening.
Intranet defaults IE into compatibility mode, so the form was broken.
You can force edge compatibility in your browser or with HTML and IE behave like modern browsers.

jQuery Marquee - Resets after four entries in Firefox

Good evening everyone.
I am puzzling over the oddity that the jQuery Marquee plugin, which was working fine, suddenly resets itself after showing only four of six entries here: http://site427.mysite4now.net/tazthedog/site1/ (click on the Upcoming Events tab in the lower-right hand corner).
This works correctly in IE and Chrome on a PC, but in Firefox on a Mac and PC it resets after four.
Any ideas why it resets?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Doesn't seem to be a problem for me in Chrome 5. What browser are you seeing this bug in?
Edit:
Ah, I got it in Firefox. Could be any number of things. Looks like it might be an edge detection thing. Or the height they pull from the page isn't the proper height needed for the animation. Chrome displays this properly, so you might want to check the "hitedge" and "height" variables to make sure they are properly assigned and defined. It could also be a timing thing or some sort of event delay with Firefox. Try upgrading to the latest version of jquery 1.4.2 to see if that resolves anything.
