This is a "but it works on my machine" one and could be tricky:
I have a lightbox-style HTML dialog that shows a menu on top of a web page. It can be injected into any web page via a JavaScript bookmarklet.
One of my users is trying to use it on YouTube.com with the result that the flash movie is rendered on top of the dialog (a div with high z-index).
I can't reproduce this. It works just fine for me. The dialog shows up on top of everything else on youtube.com, the video included.
I had him save the page in Safari as Webarchive and send it to me. Even that shows the menu rendered correctly for me.
I use the exact same version of Safari (4.0.5/531.22.7) and Flash (10.1 r53, latest beta). Only difference I could find is that he uses Snow Leopard (10.6.6) and I "only" 10.5.8.
Has anybody noticed similar problems? I'm afraid that the usual wmode recommendation won't solve this (I tried & it works on my machine anyway)...
Thanks!

Turned out to be a problem with the combination of Flash Beta and Mac OS 10.6. I had the user revert to the latest production release of the Flash player and everything worked as it was supposed to.

I am working on a weather visualization project using Mapbox (3 panes are locked together and one is for navigation, it's hard to explain until you see the link.)
Before I continue, I will post a link to the web app I am discussing here, so you can see it. My code is a MESS, and I am aware of that, but I believe this is a browser issue.

In Edge and Firefox, the fullscreen and navigation buttons work fine. In Chrome, they do not work... the fullscreen button gets the browser stuck until you press escape (and doesn't render properly anyway!). And, in fact, chrome does not even display the navigation button at all.
Is there a way to get these buttons to show up and function as they do in firefox and edge? Or, maybe an alternate button? I am attaching a screenshot of how the page should look.
I should note, I can live without the fullscreen buttons, but I need the navigation button option to be working in chrome. This really is a must for my project, so even if there's another link or button I could place over it to activate it somehow, it's fine as long as it works. I am not good enough with JS to understand what may be causing this issue after 2 hours of research.
From https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/#geolocatecontrol:
Not all browsers support geolocation, and some users may disable the feature. Geolocation support for modern browsers including Chrome requires sites to be served over HTTPS. If geolocation support is not available, the GeolocateControl will not be visible.
I've been scratching my head for the past week and still cannot find a clear answer regarding this issue...
Basically, I'm building a desktop app for screen/desktop/window capturing using Web API's.
Seems that on Mac, mouse cursor does not appear in the stream. Please see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=238434 and
https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8278
But somehow, a Chrome extension exists and works perfectly fine.
Can someone please explain how to successfully record screen using Web technologies to avoid ffmpeg and native scripts? How did those guys manage to overcome this issue on Mac? Does this issue actually exist?
Thanks.
It seems to be a bug where the cursor is not recorded when external displays are hooked to your device.
In my instance, I've got two monitors hooked to a Macbook Pro.
A workaround is unhooking your displays or setting your displays to mirror.
I haven't been able to test a set up with a Mac Pro or Mini hooked to just one or multiple displays.
I created an issue in the Chromium bug report.
This has been fixed since Chrome 56!
When clicking a website link from within the Facebook iOS app, the page loads fine (within the in-app browser). But then when you scroll down and then back up, the top is cut off. This is a problem for website with a nav bar at the top, like amazon.com. Is there a workaround for this? One that does not involve the user having to disable the in-app browser. This is aweful when you realize you've spent money sending people to a website they cannot use.
Update: This seems to be an issue with a slightly older version of the Facebook App for iOS. In the newer version of the FB App, this is not a problem.
Even still, I'd like to know if anyone has experienced this and if so, is there an HTML, javascript or jquery solution to the problem. I know I can detect the FB browser, maybe even the version of the in-app browser. But still, what to do then.
I think I am going to try using frames. I guess I could pad the top and bottom.enter image description here
"googlechrome://www.lego.com" opened in mobile Safari will switch to Google Chrome iOS app to open the URL. This allows for scriptlets like the one below, which allows you to open the current page in Google Chrome iOS app, switching from mobile Safari:
(function()%7Bif(document.location.href.indexOf('http')===0)document.location.href=document.location.href.replace(/%5Ehttp/,'googlechrome');%7D)();
My question is, can the reverse be done? I tried "safari://www.lego.com", and it is simply an invalid URL. Can you make a scriptlet which switches from Google Chrome to mobile Safari to open the current page.
The answer is yes. Courtesy or MacStories (http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/chrome-for-ios-send-a-webpage-back-to-safari-via-bookmarklet/), I found this code:
window.location='googlechrome-x-callback://x-callback-url/open/?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&x-source=Safari&x-success='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);
Execute that code, go to your homescreen, reopen Chrome, and there's a magical back button to go back to Safari. This may not be exactly what you want, but it works... Kink of.
Good luck!

Here's a screenshot:

It seems that the functionality to do this has broken. Thank you!
I have a Javascript image switcher on my products page. It working perfect in IE and Firefox but both Safari and Chrome fails to load the script on some pageloads. A refresh seems to fix it but when changing product page or language it crashes.
The product page
Im using Wordpress and the script is varal.org/media/imageswitcher/
Thanks!

I did not experience any issues in either Chrome or Safari for Windows on your product page. Try this in Chrome, to check if the two scripts (imageswitcherconf.js and imageswitcher.js) are being loaded:
Press Ctrl+Shift+J to open the JavaScript Console/Developer Tools window.
Click the Resources tab on the top of the window.
Enable resource tracking/script debugging if you have to.
With the JavaScript Console/Developer Tools window still open, perform an operation that would normally trigger a crash, such as switching languages.
On the left side of the window, under the Resources heading, you should see imageswitcherconf.js followed by imageswitcher.js. (For me, they appeared fourth and fifth in the list, respectively.)
If the files aren't being loaded:
