Copied HTML links become broken relative links?

In late October, after the forum software change, I started having an occasional (I think!) problem pasting links.
My typical practice would be to cut-and-paste a FAQ link from the InDesign General Overview page, and sometimes the link would end up with pieces missing in my post. The URL looked right, but if you clicked it, you got taken to an invalid page.
I think I've tracked down the source -- the link gets interpreted as a relative link when copied, and the anchor point to which the link is relative changes, so the link becomes busted.
To make this concrete, I start on http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general?view=overview (the InDesign General overview page), and in the "InDesign Troubleshooting 101: The most common advice when things don't work" section at the top, I select the entire line "Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990".
Looks like the right thing as I type this in the normal editor. But if I click the HTML editor, I see:
<a class="jive-link-thread-small active_link" href="../../thread/526990">http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990"</a>
And of course, the "../.." in the href seems bound to cause problems.
But not always. I tried a test in the the testing forum on Oct. 30: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3998418#3998418 and it worked just fine.
Anyhow, this is kind of annoying, but I perhaps it can make it into Jive's bug report queue...
Workaround seems to be to click HTML and inspect the link carefully.

What browser are you using, and exactly how are you copying the link?
I wonder if what you're seeing could be browser-specific behavior, possibly influenced by OS platform...
On Windows 7 I right-clicked the link you noted in IE9 and chose Copy Shortcut, then pasted it here... I repeated the process 10 times, alternating between the two links listed there. The URL seems to be all there in every case...

Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

HTML links in Vibe Feed and digest e-mails do not work on GW 8.0.3client

I have GroupWise 8.0.3hp1 on NetWare 6.5.8 and a Vibe 3.3 install on
SUSE 11 (the downloadable Vibe demo virtual machine from Novell's site).
I have recently started upgrading GroupWise clients on Windows 7 PCs
(64bit), and have been testing Vibe. I have run into a problem with
HTML links in GW clients not working on PCs where the GW client has been
upgraded.
This problem occurs using the GroupWise 8.0.3hp2 and 8.0.3hp3 clients,
but does not occur on a 8.0.2hp2 client, so it appears to be GroupWise
client related. I haven't tested any other client versions.
1. When using the GW 8.0.3 client, if I select any of the "Novell Vibe
OnPrem", "Favorites", or "My Teams" folders, I can see the Vibe Feed
display showing entries for sites I'm following. But clicking on the
links in these entries does nothing, so I cannot use the Vibe Feed to go
directly to files, profiles, etc. The same Vibe Feed links from the
Vibe web browser interface or from a GW8.0.2hp2 client works fine.
2. If I have e-mail digest notifications setup to let me know when
changes are made to a folder or file in Vibe, the e-mails are delivered
to me just fine. But once again, none of the links in the e-mails work
when using the GW8.0.3 client. Clicking on them does nothing. If I
look at the e-mail message source, I can copy-and-paste the URLs
directly into a browser and they work fine, so the URLs themselves are
correct. Again, these links work fine if I use the GroupWise WebAccess
or a GW8.0.2hp2 client.
Is the GW 8.0.3 client is blocking these HTML links? I receive no
notification from the client asking whether to "unblock" any
links/scripts/images when viewing messages with these Vibe links.
Any suggestions for getting these to work on GW 8.0.3 client?
Thanks,
-Greg

Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost.
I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf. Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf. Still no live links.
Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text. So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer. But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe. Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
They had it fixed last year in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active. Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and be Underlined
Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code. So there should be no pproblem.
Also Don't use the Save As . . . PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save. Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
Well it seems it does work on occasion see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG

Adding a html link to a carousel

i have followed a tutorial to build a flash craousel and have had no problems in building that. i wanted to add a html link to a section of the carousel but everything i have tried up to now has failed. All the information is passed through to the carousel from an xml file and everything works fine except for the link.
i have slightly modified the tutorial so i have an extra box on the information page which holds the web address for the site they are looking at in the portfolio. i have the address showing up but i cannot use the text as a link.
the box that i am putting it in is a dynamic text box which has been set up with the following settings
theLink.html = true;
theLink.htmlText = t.Link;
so as far as i know these are set to be able to handle html tags/code but they are not playing games.
i have tried to pass the link through to the swf file from the xml file with the following code but this just seem to break the whole application.
Link="<![CDATA[<a href='http://www.acmeart.co.uk/pip_new']]"
to view how i have the file working upto now please view the link below.
http://acmeart.co.uk/carousel
i feel the problem is not with the flash application but more with how i am trying to pass the html link over to the application from the xml file. i will attach the xml file to the post.

What I had in mind was to place the link inline in your text. Something like this:
<item name="valley" full="assets/valley.png"
        title='Book - CD ROM'
        body='This product was a Shockwave holiday card. It began as a jigsaw puzzle. As the puzzle was solved, it opened and displayed the holiday greeting. <a href="http://www.amazon.com" >Purchase a copy.<a\>'>
    </item>
The url is right in the text. The html markup is escaped as html entities.

What can I do if all HTML links refresh site instead of redirecting properly (FF only, HTML 1.0 Strict valid, no plugins) just after using autocompleted url?

I was testing a XHTML 1.0 Strict valid website on my localhost. It had URL "http://localhost/visaita/tictactoe/Web/index.php?item_id=8&game_password=73|55fc84c0c432ad625a901caaa13108aa&chat_code=74|50b3b60c8be203.98819772#.ULO2EnC23XQ". If I click in URL field between 8 and ?. Then pres shift + end and delete the rest of URL, I get a drop down of suggestions. Then I press arrow left in my keyboard - suggestions dissappear. I press enter and my URL is immediately reset to initial one (with all arguments) even though I wanted to delete them. Server receives all the arguments, so this is not the case of a back-end redirection (tested).
The most interesting effect is that after such refresh ALL HTML LINKS stop working. They refresh page instead of redirecting. Even if I click on a link redirecting to another domain, page still gets refreshed and not redirected. I see it as an obvious and serious bug which happens in very special conditions.
All FF plugins and add-ons disabled. Tested in safe mode as well. One interesting fact is that this page is opened by a redirect from another page (JavaScript performs redirect), but the page where error happens does not contain any JavaScript redirection code. Error console is also empty.
During these redirects FireBug (when enabled) displays interesting stuff. It shows that request without arguments is pending infinitely while immediately after it another request is launched with all unwanted arguments.
Another interesting fact is that page is using late polling AJAX technique (not sure whether it has any impact).
It seems that it is some caching bug.

Autocompleted URL does not seem to be related in order to provoke the bug. If I press Esc and then immediately press on links, they all work fine. Without pressing Esc, if long polling is in action, all links redirect the same page. Long polling request happens for no longer that 2 minutes and then there is a 1 second JS delay before the next one. If links are pressed between calls, they work fine.
The strange thing though is that my friend has prepared a simple script which is generating a long polling request and has a link to Google. This test works, so I am trying to understand whether there is any additional factor which is causing the problem. Perhaps it can be due to having redirects and 2 simultaneous long polling requests at the same time. Doing my best to understand the problem. Not sure what is happening although I am quite sure that problem is caused by the FF browser somehow. Tested everything back and forth.

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

HT5373 Can html links be attached to events?

Does anyone know why I sometimes get the following screen when tryint to open HTML links that I add as attachments to calendar events? Sometime the links work flawlessly and sometimes I get this screen which requires 4-10 "cancels" to remove from view. then the site I was trying to reach is in a raw, disabled format. Thanks!!
For example, I am trying to help my daughter study for a science test and want to attach this link to an event in my icloud calendar that reminds her to study and provides this link/attachment as a resource. but when I try to copy the link from my browser ( http://www.neok12.com/Digestive-System.htm) it inserts this instead https://p14-caldav.icloud.com/Digestive-System.htm. When I click on that link I am asked to enter a user name and password to get past the Microsoft Security Window.
This does not happen every time I paste a link and I am stumped!

You can add as many css files as you like.
Just name sure you are referencing them correctly.

html:link action="" input type="button"... does not work under IE browser

Greeting,
I have the following codes in struts1.3.5. It works fine under Firefox, but it does not work at all under Internet Explore (IT) at all. Any clues why under IE it does not work?
<html:link action="/private/search">
<input
type="button"
value="Search"
class="search-button">
</html:link>
Thanks a lot!

This would probably generate a HTML in which there will be a button inside anchor tag.
This is not a standard HTML feature and no wonder this is not supported by IE. I copied the generated html codes into test.html to try on IE, the button does not work at all.
Firefox is probably lenient here. True. test.html works in Firefox.
You might want to just have a link or do a form submission on button click.The action designed does not need an actionForm. I updated my code to :<html:button onclick="location.href='processSearch'"
property ="Search"
value ="Search">
</html:button>
And now both Firefox & IE works fine.
Thanks a lot!

Html link to verify google

Hi! i cannot figure out why this is so hard.....i am trying to paste an html link to google on my website so i can ratify it google.
only google doesn't recognise it or apple won't allow it.
Please does anyone have any ideas on what i may be doing wrong?
thanks

You can have a personal domain name even though you publish to MobileMe. Find out about it here....
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html
You can't give the URL to Google to find the HTML verification file is all. You have to give them the MobileMe URL.
When you publish to a server other than MobileMe using FTP, the root folder is the first level folder that contains all the files and folders for your website. Also, if you publish to a commercial hosting service, domain names become a lot easier as does the whole of search engine optimization.
MobileMe was designed for small personal websites and the facility to use a domain name was added in iWeb '08. Its not very satisfactory and creates a few problems. You can only have one domain name using Cname and the rest have to use masking which is a disaster as far as SEO goes.
Don't give up on iWeb - consider publishing to somewhere other than MobileMe! Find out why here...

Html link to a servlet

Hello,
I am new to Java Servlet programming and I need some help with calling a servlet via a HTML link.
I have a class which generates a html page:
package HccMembers;
public class HccMemberServlet
public StringBuffer buffer;
public HccMemberServlet(String sHccId, String sHcId)
buffer = new StringBuffer(4096);
this.buffer.append("<HTML>\n ");
this.buffer.append("<HEAD>\n ");
this.buffer.append("<TITLE>Members</TITLE>\n");
this.buffer.append("</HEAD> \n");
this.buffer.append("<BODY> \n");
this.buffer.append("<p><ahref='http://localhost:8080/transport/HccMembers/servlet/JCSJobOrderServlet'>New Job Order</a></p>");
this.buffer.append("</BODY></HTML>");
Basically, when the user clicks the link a servlet should be invoked. (Below)
package HccMembers;
//import java Servlet classes
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
//import java classes
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class JCSJobOrderServlet extends HttpServlet
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
System.out.println("hello");
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
System.out.println("Hey");
The problem is that, when I click the link I get a 404 page not found error. Any ideas?
I really appreciate any help.

You need to add couples of lines to the configuration file of your application (web.xml) : first you must say that the class CSJobOrderServlet is a servlet that you want to use, second you must map the servlet to a specific url, then you can use this url whenever you like.
As an advice, don't use absolute URLs on your application, use only URLs relative to your application root.
Example for web.xml:
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name> MyFirstServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>JCSJobOrderServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>MyFirstServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/custom_url</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>Now, about the servlet implementation: if you are using System.out.println("Hey") you will see the message on the standard output of the server, and not on the browser as you expected.
here is a small example:
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response)
      throws IOException, ServletException {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
        writer.println("<html>");
        writer.println("<head><title>Hello response</title></head>");
        writer.println("<body>Hello !</body></html>");
   }For more information see the documentation for servlets and / or a book.

html:link .... Struts

I want a Link as action
MyJsp.jsp
<html:link action="/MyAction?myParam=true">MyText</html:link>
MyAction.java
in der Methode execute (...........)
String Str = request.getParameter("MyParam");
the pProblem I becom the Str null whay ????
thanks

You can't map the action directly to an Action class.
You have to map it via the struts-config.xml with an action like:
<action path="/myAction" type="MyAction"/>
And call this action from the jsp by f.ex.
<% pageContext.setAttribute("MyParam", "Hello"); %> 
<html:link action="/myAction" name="MyParam"/>The name attribute specifies the query string parameter(s).
You should be able to access the parameter now in MyAction with your original execute method.

CS6 - Export to HTML & link to server path

I've got an InDesign document which has some linked EPS and JPG images. I've added all of the links and text into the articles panel, and then exported to HTML with these settings:
GeneralContent order - same as articles panel
Image
Copy images - link to server path
Path on server - "assets/images/"
File extension - "jpg" (note, not ".jpg" as this would result in "..jpg" being added as the image extension...)
AdvancedCSS - embedded CSS, including style definitions and local overrides (which InDesign seems to ignore and generates an external style sheet anyway...)
The result - the EPS images have been converted to PNGs, renamed and the HTML now links to those. The images I want to use in the website have the same name as the EPS files - so I have to go in and change the src attributes before it all works as I had planned.
I have not set any custom rasterisation for the images.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am having the same problem! I also cannot use the 'original' option for image export. It will convert and rename the original files and put them in a folder. It does not appear to be working as advertised. Did you find a solution? I am using CS6 v.8.0.

HTML link, IE8

Hi!
I've made (with help) a flash which displays quotes from a txt file. Few of them are html links (<a href="... etc). It works without problem if I check it with Google Chrome, but IE8 won't open the links. I've no idea what could be the problem. Microsoft support just passed the question. Though I think it's browser related, I wondered if anybody had the same problem.
YvorL

With no offense.
Anyone, idea?

Copied HTML links become broken relative links?
