this is my first question ever in Stack Exchange!
So I've had this weird "pop up" haunting me for over a year. I've Googled it many times, but can find anything related. Here's what it looks like:
404 Error Pop Up
It goes away if I go to incognito mode or delete cookies I just don't know why they keep showing up. They make the entire page unusable. Some don't have it, but many others do. Even if I'm visiting the first time.
Tried it on Microsoft Edge and Chrome, browsing from Europe.
Anyone know how to get rid of it? tysm!

I remember I had a request for access to something, I approved it, and since then a lot of things have been printed for me in the run window and I do not want that to happen. How to turn it off? How to get back to the point where only the things I print are displayed there?
I have a website in Joomla and somebody has hacked me and has added some “advertisement-text” to my web next to the logo or around it.
My website has 7 items on the menu and all of them have the same article, I mean, it does not matter if you press on one or another, it will always come up the same information.
The point is that when I press on the first item, the log does not appears in his place because in that area(logo or around it), is the “advertisement-text” inserted. This “advertisement-text” is hide but it is there. If I click on the sixth item, everything is the same, except that the “advertisement-text” appears.
The remaining of the items, everything appears correctly although the “advertisement-text” is hide(display: none) on the website.
I have seen “article manager”, “Module manager”, I have changed and re-install the template and nothing happens, the “advertisement-text” is still there.
I think that the hacker has added the “advertisement-text” manually in a particular file and that file is loaded every time when somebody access to the website. I have seen the files and folders on the server but I could not find where the hacker inserted that piece of code. Besides, I think that the text is encrypted, so in the files it will appear something like “base64(“encripted text”).
Does somebody know where the hacker could have inserted that “advertisement-text”? If I could avoid re-installing Joomla, it would be lovely.
Many thanks
I know you can do javascript:history.go(-2) to make the user go back 2 pages, however I was curious if it were possible in any way to actually make pressing the back button on the browser go back 2 as well.
I didn't think something like this was possible until I read: Disable browser's back button
So maybe it is?
If you read that older post more carefully, you'll see that what the answers are suggesting is not technically disabling the browser's back button. It's clearing the cache so that there's nothing to go back to. It's a hack to achieve a specific effect.
Because I can't resist making stupid comparisons...
This difference between disabling the back button and setting the cache so that there's nothing to go back to is like asking "Can we disable channel 8 on the television." The answers are not about how to disable the television's ability to display channel 8. They're more like talking about how to block the airwaves or blowing up the TV station to achieve the same effect.
The point is, you can't control the client's browser in the way you're asking.
I have this strange problem on my web page where if you click below the left side-panel, all the links get highlighted. It happens in firefox, not IE. I don't know why its only the side-panel that it happens to. Its not really a big deal but its extremely annoying to me, is there any way to stop it? If you want to check it out, the site is http://www.bhslaughter.com/
Not to sound harsh, but that's a serious case of div-itis. You might want to check the number of links that you have, the open and closing of the div's, empty anchor links and the wrapping of your multiple tables.
Good luck with your project.
Well I found out what it was. I had the left side menu floated inside the table. It was a left over from before I used the table to layout the page
My Google analytics shows the second most used keyword to access my site is the url of the site. This doesn't particularly surprise me, but I wondered if any of you have tried educating your users out of this (i.e. detecting search term from referrer and showing a popin encouraging them to create bookmarks etc.) or is it just a waste of effort or likely to annoy.
UPDATE
I was watching someone the other day and discovered one possible reason why people do this. If you try clicking in the address bar and click twice instead of once, then type your url, you get a big mess. Far easier to type into the nice empty google search box (which is also selected by default). So basically you have the choice between:
Type > Enter > Click
or
BadClick > Type > Enter > "Bugger!" > Click > Type > Enter
Similarly, Microsoft noted long ago that many people just type search queries into the address bar. If there are essentially between two and four unlabeled text boxes on a browser window (address bar, search box, maybe Google start page, toolbars, etc.) don't expect the user to find the right one when they should.
As long as they end up where they wanted to they couldn't care less.
Google Chrome did the right thing imho by merging at least the search and the address bar again.
for most people, google is the internet.
Focus your efforts somewhere else, like providing good contents. It does not matter how they get there.
Good luck :) Most of internet users may even not realize if the address bar gets removed from their browser. Typing a URL is far too technical.
I'm not sure anything can be done. Users are known to be extremely stubborn in their habits.
One my fellow googles for the login page of his online-banking system, being too lazy to type it in or bookmark it. That scares me a lot. It only takes for someone to manipulate search results even for a day or so to hijack the credentials.
I suggest you ignore the matter. With luck, if they google enough for your site, then google will start to show the name of your site in suggestions as your type which is rather nice.
I've tried to encourage the use of a browser at work to access the data I put on the company intranet. It's proving difficult — they would much rather open My Computer and drill down through many levels of folders, while muttering 'Where was that file? What was it called again?'
I prefer the idea of web pages on an intranet site, with images, hyperlinks, etc, but I have to be careful not to use the term 'browser' since people don't really know what it means. For example, I demonstrated the site to one colleague by telling her to start 'Internet Explorer', then I typed the URL, rather than explain it to her. When the web page opened, she said 'Oh wow, what program is this?'
I've gone to some trouble to use 'friendly URLs' — no complex query strings, but it was probably a waste of time. I'm sure no-one types them in and uses bookmarks/favorites instead.
If the address bar disappeared, it wouldn't be missed by the majority of Internet users, and there's a Google/Yahoo/whatever search tool in the corner of each page.
