        Thanks guys!
        I managed to get all the dialog boxes of 1001bit fixed following the suggestions on the css;

        patch in html file to fix the black textbox

        It's a lot of work to edit all the html files, but at least the problem is solved. 😄
        Cheers!

          I grabbed a copy of Pacifist, but I can't find a copy of Safari 5.1.5 to install.

          For example, the page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
          has a Download button that leads to http://www.apple.com/safari/download/.

          However, this page only supports downloading of Safari 5.1.7.

          Help?

            I found it here:

            http://mac.oldapps.com/safari.php?old_safari=813

            This is not my signature. I type it at the end of every message for quality control.

              Hi,
              update to my investigation.

              WebView uses a different version of Webkit than Safari (and not just in SU) and I can't find a way to change the userAgent from within SU, so been trying another approach.

              dlg.execute_script %(function addGlobalStyle(css) { 
                 var head, style; 
                 head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; 
                 if (!head) { return; } 
                 style = document.createElement('style'); 
                 style.type = 'text/css'; 
                 style.innerHTML = css; 
                 head.appendChild(style); 
              
              } 
              
              addGlobalStyle('input {border; 1px solid gray;}')) 
              
              

              This works if you know the name of the dialog, but how can I get that with ruby to apply a global patch. Is it possible to get a new dialog name in ruby.
              Using WebInspector to add the JS I can also exclude type with

              addGlobalStyle('input, input;not[type="submit"];not[type="button"];not[type="file"];not[type="search"]{border; 1px solid gray;}')) 
              

              , but that returns true and fails in RubyConsole

                    hi, I'm getting
                    Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):24: compile error (eval):15: parse error, unexpected '(' alias(:show_orig, :show) ^ (eval):20: both block arg and actual block given> (eval):24

                    I'd much rather use a small amount of ruby to 'fix' the input problem

                    cheers for your efforts

                      It's much more complicated than that.

                      I have a patch that does similar.. (and more,) but we can't release such a thing without Boulder's blessing.

                      We have realized, that it's best not to show how to modify the API modules and classes. Some newbie's just run with it and start hacking away, and worse. (Yes we've all been guilty of openly discussing such things in the past. I'm sure I have. Sometimes we forget the "kids" come along and read what we've written later.)

                      Anyway... you don't need the literal block when you pass to the orig method, as the wrapper method has already converted any block argument to a Proc object.
                      So instead you do:
                      block_given? ? show_orig(&proc) : show_orig()

                      But it will not work like that, for the same reasons that the current API show(), show_modal() and set_on_close() block form methods do not work on Mac. (The webpage is never ready when Ruby executes the block.)

                      I'm not here much anymore.

                          working with Safari 6[dev] as main browser
                          I added GreaseKit to SketchUp Menu and wrote a userScript to intercept ALL WebDialogs to add the patch.

                          It only affects input[type=text] even when it's not been declared. (e.g. at 3D Warehouse site)

                          Here are some instructions and my userScript if anyones interested.

                          You need to instal SIMBL and GreaseKit in these locations
                          /Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL
                          %(#4040BF)[/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle
                          ~/Library/Application Support/GreaseKit/apps.plist
                          ~/Library/Application Support/GreaseKit/config.xml]
                          ~/Library/Application\ Support/GreaseKit/inputPatch.user.js

                          Edit:SCRIPT REMOVED -better version below

                          add SketchUp to greaseKit from Safari Menu, then in SU Reload All UserScripts and Select 'InputPatch'
                          that's it

                            You could carefully "alias" the WebDialog class in SketchUp, that means you add a script that is loaded first where you redefine the UI::WebDialog.open method so that it injects your JavaScript after the WebDialog has opened. Maybe like (untested):

                            class UI;;WebDialog
                            
                              # this gives a new name to the method "show"
                              alias ;show_orig ;show
                              private ;show_orig
                            
                              def show(&proc)
                                # this calls the original "show" method
                                show_orig(&proc){ proc.call }
                                execute_script(" /*your script*/ ")
                              end
                            
                            end
                            

                            However re-defining base classes is something that no published plugin should do.

                              I found the same problem last week. The source of the problem is the Safari update that Apple pushed out last week (5.1.7). Here's a work-around for dynamic components: make the following edits in red to the manager.css and configurator.css files. (located in Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Tools/Dynamic Components/css)

                              In Manager.css:

                              .edit-field {
                              position: absolute;
                              border-top: 2px solid #3063C9;
                              border-left: 2px solid #3063C9;
                              border-right: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
                              border-bottom: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
                              background-color: white; font-size: 12px;
                              font-family: sans-serif;
                              width: 100%;
                              height: 100%;
                              overflow: hidden;
                              padding-left: 2px;
                              padding-top: 1px;
                              border: 1px solid #000000;
                              }

                              In Configurator.css:

                              .config-field {
                              width: 100%;
                              font-size: 11px;
                              font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
                              height: 22px;
                              background-color: white;
                              border: 1px solid #000000;
                              }

                              .config-field-readonly {
                              width: 100%;
                              font-size: 11px;
                              font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
                              height: 22px;
                              background-color: threedface;
                              border: 1px solid #000000;
                              }

                              Thank you!! this worked for me!!!

                                  To avoid any confusion over installation of the script, I created this guide:

                                  1. Download SIMBL

                                  2. Unzip the file

                                  3. Launch the SIMBL-..*.pkg installer

                                  4. Download GreaseKit

                                  5. Mount the GreaseKit-..dmg image

                                  6. Copy GreaseKit.bundle to /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/

                                  7. Launch Safari

                                  8. Select the GreaseKit item in the menubar
                                    http://grab.bovie.me/eUVw

                                  9. Select Manage Applications...
                                    http://grab.bovie.me/eUVy

                                  10. Add Sketchup to the application list
                                    http://grab.bovie.me/eUVI

                                  11. Quit Safari

                                  12. Download inputPatch.user.js created by driven (his original post)

                                  13. Copy inputPatch.user.js to **~/**Library/Application Support/GreaseKit/

                                  14. Launch SketchUp

                                  15. Select inputPatch from the GreaseKit menu
                                    http://grab.bovie.me/eUW4

                                  Your text boxes are now white!

                                    hi Phaseone,
                                    Welcome to SCF and thanks for the guide on how to instal my GreaseKit solution.

                                    It made me revisit the issue and I realise now that there is an even easier way to do this. [i.e. without SIMBL, GreaseKit or js injection]

                                    In an earlier post from Aerilius
                                    @unknownuser said:

                                    Another idea, would a WebView also accept a user stylesheet (that would override the default background in all websites+webdialogs in SketchUp)?

                                    Yes, Safari does it from the preference menu and I now have it working in SU, but what's the simplest way to share the 'how to'.

                                    First you need a css file containing the patch code, in a place SU can find. So copy paste this into Ruby Console and hit return.

                                    directory='/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/__InputPatch/'
                                    Dir;;mkdir(directory) unless File.exists?(directory)
                                    filename='inputPatch.css'
                                    File.open(directory + filename, 'w') do |iP|
                                    iP.puts <<PATCH
                                    input;not([type=button]);not([type=file]);not([type=checkbox]);not([type=image]);not([type=radio]);not([type=reset]);not([type=search]);not([type=submit]){background-color; rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-style; inset; border-bottom-width; 1px; border-collapse; separate; border-left-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style; inset; border-left-width; 1px; border-right-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-style; inset; border-right-width; 1px; border-top-color; rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-style; inset; border-top-width; 1px;}
                                    PATCH
                                    end
                                    

                                    it makes a folder + file in /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/

                                    Then if you have Pro8 copy/paste and return this.

                                    `defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchuppro8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetEnabledPreferenceKey -bool True`
                                    `defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchuppro8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetLocationPreferenceKey '/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/__InputPatch/inputPatch.css'`
                                    
                                    

                                    or for free try

                                    `defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchupfree8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetEnabledPreferenceKey -bool True`
                                    `defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.sketchupfree8.plist WebKitUserStyleSheetLocationPreferenceKey '/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins/__InputPatch/inputPatch.css'`
                                    
                                    

                                    Restart SU
                                    You only need to do this once, and all your input boxes in SU will work correctly [without editing any files]
                                    If the problem is resolved in the future you can just bin the __inputPatch Folder

                                    john

                                        That's magic; a very elegant solution.

                                          I had to do it twice.

                                            Hi,

                                            I have the same problem as a lot of others, I guess. Mac OS 10.6.8 + SU Pro 8.0.15157.
                                            Tried your solution, and it works on DC's, but not on everything...or at least not with Fredo6 Tools, SU Clock etc etc.
                                            I had the problem with 1001Bit plug but with the upgrade it was fixed.
                                            Is it that the maker of the plugin does something wrong when writing the code (miss something)?
                                            After your fix I seem to have no problem with DC's. That helps a lot - THANKS!
                                            Is there something else to do? Tried your fix many times to make sure I did it right. Think I did.
                                            Look at the result (pic). Is that "nil" OK?? ...or am I doing something when pasting?

                                            Do you know if a full upgrade to Mountain Lion helps? Does anyone know?
                                            Thankful for some help.
                                            Cheers
