Bunch of java tabs opening up again with keywording

WinsomeWorks

This has happened before, & now has been regularly happening over the last while, and definitely in the past couple weeks when I've been bulk keywording/captioning... whatever I add evidently opens up yet another "java" tab on the same tab-bar that my site name shows up on. In other words, each time I'm finished captioning, I would have to close over 100 or 200 java tabs if I did it individually! Lately I've just been shutting down my site & coming back, so that they all close. FF of course then always has to ask me if I want to shut down all those windows. I'm on FF & Vista. Don't know if it happens in IE. Will let you know... if I can bring myself to use IE.

I'm trying to imagine what a 'java tab' is can you please give a screenshot? Thanks.

Sorry, I haven't yet learned how to do screenshots. I've been shown... I just forget. Should tape it to my computer desk. Maybe I explained it better back on Nov. 14, 2009: "... whole bunch of javascript boxes are opening. I think this happens each time I select a photo from the list of thumbs, to have a change (caption or keyword) made before previewing/saving. Each time, I did not notice when it started until I had a whole collection of java boxes going across the entire top of my screen.. probably over 50! I think each box says Java:void or maybe javascript: void. I had to then manually click the "x" on each box to get rid of them. The first time I ever saw this bug was a few days ago.." here: http://www.digitalgrin.com/showthread.php?t=150351 .

Ok, you know how FF has tabs that open up on the upper left for each new page you're on? Like right now I just have one saying "Digital Grin Photography Forum...". Well, if I do bulk keywording, I'll select a thumb & get one of those "javascript: void" small message pages open up. So that opens a new tab (page, I guess) and then another & another until all I can read on each tab is the "jav...." because they're overlapping one another. I don't usually notice it happening until I'm nearly finished & then look up & they all have to be closed if I want to go back to the gallery. So I do the final save & then leave. The save can take a long time because of all those little error pages open at one time. [ETA: I just figured something out by watching the top of my screen more carefully. It's only opening the pages (tabs) saying "javascript: void(0)" when I use the control key. I'm in the habit of using it like I do on other pages when selecting thumbs, so that they don't "deselect" on their own when I select the next one, as happens with some tools. It looks to me as if I don't have to use the control key with bulk keywording though; the thumbs don't deselect. So I can just not use it if I can remember. I still don't think it should be opening javascript error pages, but anyway, a temporary fix of sorts!]

Brother... it sounds more complicated than I thought. I don't know what I'd save it in... I don't know or use Paint or Word. Also don't see any "print screen" button, or any of the other "snip" tools mentioned. I'll have to get a lesson from a human standing behind me I think.

Paint or Word? Bah. Anna Lisa - just get Jing http://www.jingproject.com/ it's free, and drop dead simple to use. You don't 'save' anything it just uploads to screencast.com and you post the link here

No need for special tools... Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard (maybe labled Prt Scr, and usually on the top row just above the insert key). Then open Microsoft Paint (Start button, Programs, Accessories, Paint), press Shift+Insert and save as JPG. From there, I'm sure you know how to get it online, seeing how this is a photography board...

but the special tool (free) is soooooo much easier. Click on, or draw a sqaure around what you want, click a button, and it's uploaded.

Mac people use skitch.com or jing for this. Windows people can use Jing.

At any rate, I'm not gonna be tackling screenshots today... too much else to tackle. Of the issue at hand-- a bunch of Javascript error pages opening up if one holds the control key down during selecting-- is that something that should be happening? It sure doesn't seem like it should happen. Like I said, as long as I'm not having a problem with thumbs de-selecting when choosing another thumb in that keywording tool, I don't need to use "Control" & will try to remember not to. But the only reason I started using "Control" is that I did have a problem in the past. And I know with one of the other tools-- maybe "rotate" or "watermark" or "move", the thumbs deselecting is still an issue. So I always use "Control" there & don't have the "javascript:void(0)" pages popping up.
