ExtendedScript from html page

Hello,
can i make script in the extendedScript toolkit(this script place document to indesign application) and run this script from html page?
or is there integration between extendedscript and html?
thanks

HTML pages are usually displayed in web browsers, whose security model is designed specifically against any access to local resources, especially such calls to local applications.
Besides to browsers, on the Mac, the "Dashboard" allows you to write little applications "widgets" exactly the way you're suggesting. It uses WebKit to display HTML.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/
In order to communicate with extendscript, you'd have to go through the operating system's command line.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Dashboard_ProgTopics /Articles/CommandLine.html
From there you'd invoke the scripting system with "OSAScript"
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man1/osascript.1.html
then pass on your extendscript and arguments into InDesign via doScript.
Another alternative to the main HTML browser is AIR, which also has an instance of WebKit for HTML display.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/air/1/quickstartshtml/
Apparently it is possible to invoke BridgeTalk - the Creative Suite's inter application communication used by extendscript - straight from AIR. I don't yet have references how to do that, found the link below just yesterday.

Read Text from HTML-Pages and want to solve "ChangedCharSetException"

Hello,
I have an app that connect via threads with pages and parse them an gives me only the Text-version of a HTML-page. Works fine, but if it found a page, where the text is within images, than the whole app stopps and gave me the message:
javax.swing.text.ChangedCharSetException
        at javax.swing.text.html.parser.DocumentParser.handleEmptyTag(DocumentParser.java:169)
        at javax.swing.text.html.parser.Parser.startTag(Parser.java:372)

        at javax.swing.text.html.parser.ParserDelegator.parse(ParserDelegator.java:78)
        at aufruf.main(aufruf.java:33)So I tried to catch them with "getCharSetSpec()" and "keyEqualsCharSet( )" from the class "javax.swing.text.ChangedCharSetException" and hoped that this solved the problem. But still doesen't work...
Then I looked at the web and found, that I have to add the line:
doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", new Boolean(true));"doc." is a new HTML Dokument, created with the HTMLEditorKit. I do not have much knowledge about that and so I hope, that someone can explain me, how I can solve that problem, within my code.

Parsing the FRAME tag from HTML pages

Hello to everybody,
I am trying to parse the A tags & the Frame tags from HTML pages. I have developed the code below, which works for the A tags but it does not work for the Frame tags. Is there any idea about this?
private void getLinks() throws Exception {
     System.out.println(diskName);
links=new ArrayList();
frames=new ArrayList();
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(diskName));
// Parse the HTML
EditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument)kit.createDefaultDocument();
doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", new Boolean(true));
try {
     kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
catch (RuntimeException e) {return;}
// Find all the FRAME elements in the HTML document, It finds nothing
     HTMLDocument.Iterator it = doc.getIterator(HTML.Tag.FRAME);
while(it.isValid()) {
SimpleAttributeSet s = (SimpleAttributeSet)it.getAttributes();
String frameSrc = (String)s.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.SRC);
     frames.add(frameSrc);
// Find all the A elements in the HTML document, it works ok
it = doc.getIterator(HTML.Tag.A);

XMII Login from Html page

Hi,
how can we login in xMII from Html page? for example, if i give username and password in HTML page. that need to directly login in xMII? how can it do?
- senthil

Jeremy,
When I use the following URL to open a specific page, it works.
http://server/Lighthammer/Login.jsp?IllumLoginName=accountname&IllumLoginPassword=accountpassword&session=true&target=/Test/report.irpt
Question:
1) This URL opens the html or irpt page itself directly without the associated xMII navigation/menu and navigation bar. Is it possible to open the page with the associated xMII menu/navigation thro an URL

XMII Login from Html page under xMII Version 12

Hi,
I found this thread
xMII Login from Html page
but I'm not sure this will also work under xMII Version 12.
I have now this question:
Is it possible to use a url login with loginname and password under xMII V12 similar this example for Version 11.5:
http://server/Lighthammer/Login.jsp?IllumLoginName=accountname&IllumLoginPassword=accountpassword&session=true&target=/Test/report.irpt
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Has anyone had any luck with this - displaying a v12 MII screen without requiring login?
We need to be able to do this as well in order to display read-only screens on large screen monitors on the manufacturing floor without requiring login to MII.
Under v11.5 it worked with no issues. Under v12, we haven't figured out how to do it yet.
I've waded through the NetWeaver UME documentation, have searched through the NetWeaver forums, etc. but to this point have had no luck in making it work.
We've tried enabling the UME Guest account, assigning Guest to the anonymous group and guest role (and xMII Users role), creating a Navigation for the Guest user, but still the NetWeaver login screen is displayed.
MII experts - if you are aware of how to do this can you please give detailed instructions instead of just referencing the NetWeaver / UME documentation?
Thank you for your help!

How to send information from HTML page to JSP without reloading HTML page?

Hello,
Is it possible to send information(row number selected by user) from HTML page to JSP without reloading HTML page?
Thanks.
Oleg.

Yes, you can do this with framesets and a hidden frame.
You need a bit of JavaScritp in the "visible" frame that
sets the location of the hidden frame to the JSP.
Add the user's choice as a parameter to the JSP URL.

Create accessible pdf from html pages dynamically

Hello,
I am trying to create a 508 compliant Pdf from a simple HTML page using the HTML to Pdf feature in Livecycle ES4 server. I was able to configure the service to generate tabbed Pdf, but the created Pdf has multiple accessibility issues.
Some of the issues encountered are: incorrect tab order, some links are not tabbable while others are, link text is being read “Blank”, some text is skipped while tabbing, missing alt text for images, page being rendered in the responsive(mobile) view, etc.
I have tried both the available approaches, of 1) providing a URL to create the PDF, and 2) to send the html document as a zipped file, with same results.
Attached is a sample PDF generated from a simple HTML page I created for demo.
My questions are:
Is it possible to generate 508 compliant (accessible) Pdf documents using Html to Pdf service from Pdf Generator? If yes, which settings might I be missing?
Is there any other service provided by Adobe Livecycle Server that can generate 508 compliant Pdf documents from a 508 compliant HTML page?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Anup

I created a tool that does just that (only you will need to enter the page numbers as text, it does not work by selecting them):

I don't think it's possible to do this using a standard JavaScript script in Acrobat, since the newDoc function doesn't work with URLs.
The only option I can think of is to use an external automator that will call the Create PDF From Web Page dialog, paste the address from a file, and after the PDF file is created will continue to the next line.
I might be able to create such a tool for you. If you're interested, contact me by email (click my username for the address) or PM.

Create multiple pdf files from html pages

I have 15 html pages that I need to convert (possibly several times a day) into pdf files, and I need to get the process as automated as possible. I own an Acrobat Pro 8 license.
1) is there a command line I can launch to do this automatically?
2) failing that, is there a way of launching several conversions at a time? There seems to be lot of talk about creating one pdf from several files, but what I want is to convert several html file into several pdf files
thanks

Managed it at last, was a bit of a hassle -
(there was an erroneous error message saying I hadn't selected any files, when I had)
Note For future readers: to do just a batch conversion, you have to ignore the "commands" section, which isn't intuitive, as it is bang in the middle and looks like the main feature...

How link from html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3

Hi!
I'm kinda new around here. I am interested in knowing how to link from a specific html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3.
I have a website that I originally began to design in flash but later started developing new pages for it in html. The flash part of it has several pages on different frames and I have created links from the flash part to the other html pages, but, I can only link the html pages back to the main flash home page, and not the other pages in the flash part of the website.
I have read that in cs3 it was possible using the flashvars skip variable, but I don't know how to do it. I have not yet seen any working examples and I could not find any instructions / tutorials online for cs5.
Can someone help here?

add a query string, to the swf's embedding html, with variable/value indicating the frame you want to display in your swf. add a javascript function to return the query string (or entire url), call the javascript function from flash using the externalinterface class. and finally add code to your swf to parse the returned url or query string, parse it and then direct your timeline to the appropriate frame.

please give me some steps to do rfc

Hi,
It is not possible to intract backend system from html alone, even we are not able to write java scripts too. So try to SAPNW to develope your application.
If you decide to create application via SAPNW then you can go with following steps,
1. Create application (Application, component, window and view)
2. Import model (it needs JCo details)
3. In controller create an object for function module which one you imported, bind it to model node, assign user name and password and use "exec" function to execute and get return values from backend system through another model node and display result as you wish.
4. Build, Deploy and Run your application
Good Luck!

Problems calling Java Servlets from HTML pages Online

Hello
I have created a Web site using Java Servlets, and have acquired some servlet enabled web-space however i am having some difficulty in calling the actual servlets from the HTML pages i was using the line of code as follows
http://localhost:8080/servlet/....
followed by the name eg.
http://localhost:8080/servlet/Login
however this doesn't seem to be working i have also tried using the exact address of the servlet but this didn't work either
i.e ..servlet/Login.java
I was wondering would anyone have any idea as in how the servlets should be called
Thanks very much

Once you write the Servlet code, you have to compile and put the classes in the server classpath. To refer these servlets from your pages, you have to configure them in the server configuration(typical a xml file). There you define how you are going to refer to the servlet(/servlet/Logon) and the correponding class.

Drag and drop a image from html page into flex

how can i drag a image form the html page and drop it into
the flex application.

Hi,
There's no direct support for this. But you could implement
drag and drop the way you normally would in javascript. Except
here, on mouseUp over a div encapsulating the object or embed tag
(the flash object), you'll need to make a call into actionscript
from javascript indicating that a drag and drop happened.
For more info, see
how
to drag and drop using javascript and
actionscript
and javascript communication

Passing form data from html page to JSP page

Hi,
I have a simple HTML page with a form on it that sends the information to a JSP page that stores the form data in a JSP session. I created a simple form that asks for the user's name, sends it to the JSP page, stores that in a session, then sends it to another JSP page which displays the name. This worked fine.
However, I added another input box to my form that asks for the user's age to do the same steps as outlined above. This does not work, and I'm not sure why. Here's the code from my HTML page:
<form method=post action="savename.jsp">
What's your name?
<input type=text name=username size=20 />
<p />
What's your age?
<input type=text name=age size=20 />
<p />
<input type=submit />Here's the code from my JSP page, savename.jsp (later on in the JSP page it links to another page, but that is not relevant):
<%
String name = request.getParameter("username");
String age = request.getParamater("age");
session.setAttribute("theName", name);
session.setAttribute("theAge", age);
%>Finally, here is the error message from Tomcat 6.0.9:

Ummm.... you misspelled "parameter" the second time
you tried to use it.......
That is incredibly embarrassing. Sorry if I made anyone think it was something more serious. Holy mackerel, I think it's time for me to read over my code much more carefully before posting about a problem.
Thanks for the help DrClap.
