Java and  Internet Explorer ?

Hello every one.
Could someone tell me how to call Internet Explorer from a Java Application, passing a string containing the URL?
thank a lot in advance.

Can anyone tell me as to how do I locate the installation directory of an application during run time? i.e. in case you have two drives c: and d: - IEcan be installed in either of the drives. Also, though the default installation directory is <drive>:/Program Files/Internet Explorer at times user might decide to instal in elsewhere. My question is thru java code, how do I get the path dynamically. Is it possible to search for a file "iexplore.exe" and save the directory path where the file is found in some string variable which I can subsequently use within the code (may be to call a method like exec()).
It's a little urgent. Please help.
Regards,
Raj

  • Java and Internet Explorer automation

    Hi,
    I would like to create a routine in java that would simulate a user browing the web.
    Ex: A user vistiting a certain page, clicking on a few links etc...
    Is their a java library that can server as a bridge beetween java and internet explorer in order to automate this process.
    Thank you.

    You want to see it all happening on the screen? If so, you could maybe look into IECanvas or some other Java/COM bridge that would let you embed IE in the Java app. I'm not sure what kind of API is available such that would allow for that.
    Another idea is java.awt.Robot which would let you move the mouse and enter text and click on things on any application, but the problem here is that you'd need to know exact coordinates to click on. You could use it to grab screen shots if you can deal with the image manipulation to figure out what is where.

  • Dynamic faces and Internet Explorer

    Thanks for taking a second to read my post, i hope you can help. I am almost complete with my web app using Netbeans VWP and Dynamic Faces. I have come across a simple application that i can not get working in Internet Explorer and as simple as it is I am surprised that it is not working. I cant believe that the Dynamic Faces team would just ignore compatability with IE altogether. Basically i am trying to get AJAX interaction going on by adding text into a textbox and adding a new DynaFaces.fireAjaxTransaction(this); to the submit however it does not seem to work. Maybe you can help...

    I think you have two options. You can open most modal subVI panels
    directly on a remote machine. The popup panels won't be in a web page,
    but it will work with few changes.
    A second approach would be to change the app slightly. The buttons that
    launch the subVIs will turn into URL links. The links will open a web
    page with a different embedded panel.

  • Netscape 6 and Internet Explorer 5

    Could some one tell me the highest and second highest versions of Java that Netscape 6 and Internet Explorer 5 support. And where do I find out the bugs for each of these browsers get with Java ????
    Thanks
    Ben Black

    "both support Java 2 SDK 1.3.1 and the beta 1.4 version. Earlier IE versions will not support anything above 1.1"
    You must remember I have very little experience with Java, that is why I'm looking for the best book to buy to help me with it. And to buy this book I need to know what versions of Java the popular browsers support. I'm at the moment going for NS6 and IE5. So could some one explain what this Java 2 SDK and other stuff is about... I find it more than confussing....
    What I basically want to do is create a game which has loads of moving grapics, chat, loading files from the users computers and the web server. (A bit like www.habbohotel.com which is a chat place where you as a graphic can move around a hotel and chat).
    And also what would YOU recommend as being the best version of Java and what sort of Java (i.e you talk about this Java 2??) for me to do the above ????
    Sorry for being an idoit and thanks for all your help

  • Remote Panel and Internet Explorer

    Hello. I have a problem with a Remote Panel and Internet Explorer. I create a measurement system in LabVIEW. It�s composed of a main front panel and a few subVIs with independent front panels opened from main Front Panel when I press appropriate button. As a local system everything works ok but I try to create a web version of this system. I decide that I can use a Remote Panel. In Web Publishing Tool I was creating a web page for each of Front Panel. I try to have the same functionality as in local system, so when in Front Panel (opened in Internet Explorer window) I press appropriate button I want to open secondary Internet Explorer window with a subVI inside. And now I�m stuck because I can�t open this secondary window in a network w
    orkstation. Has anyone have an idea how can I do it?

  • Problem with ACE and Internet Explorer 8

    I have a problem with ACE (system A2(1.1)) and Internet Explorer 8.
    exactly:
    ACE is configured as end-to-end ssl with 2 rserver and with the sticky source address. When user is opening the virtual address from IEv7, the web portal (On Microsoft IIS) works fine.
    If user opens the same web portal but using IEv8, the session is suspended after 60 seconds.
    I think, that the reason is http keep-allive, which is sending every 60 seconds from the user's internet browser.
    Here is some information about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection
    Do you have any idea how to resolve this problem: upgrade ACE, change the configuration on IIS or ACE ??
    Please help.

    Hi Kazik,
    Using a persistent connection or HTTP keepalives should not have any negative effect on the ACE, so, giving you a straight-forward answer to fix it is not going to be easy.
    I would recommend you to open a TAC case to have this investigated further. When you do, please, provide the following data:
    A showtech from the Admin context of the ACE
    A traffic capture taken on the TenGig interface connecting the switch with the ACE backplane while doing a test connection (preferably one with IE7 and one with IE8 to compare)
    If possible, a copy of the SSL private key. Being able to decrypt the traffic capture to look inside the HTTP flow would really make troubleshooting much easier.

  • Problem with ExternalInterface.call and Internet Explorer

    Hi, I´m developing a site, (
    www.gen-studio.com/avelart2
    ), and I´m using a swf to display a set of thumbs that when
    clicked show an item and its description on the browser, those
    items might be images or video, everything works fine with the
    images.
    And actually it works fine with the videos too, when using
    Firefox, but when I test the page on Internet explorer it just
    doesn’t work!
    On principle let me describe how it´s supposed to work,
    a thumbnail when clicked sends an id number to javaScript using
    ExternalInterface.call(“myFunction”,myId); -I´m
    using AS3 for the swf´s-
    the javaScript file has already loaded (ever since$(
    document).ready) a XML file which uses to match the id with a file
    and the description, if the item to show it´s a video, then it
    creates a variable which holds a string with the proper html to
    embed a swf (a swf movie player that resides just next to the HTML
    file), when loaded, the swf movie player uses
    ExternalInterface.call() to ask for the source of the video that
    has to play, and that function is as follows:
    setVideo: function(){
    alert("hola");
    return comun.miVideo;
    (The alert(“hola”); is just to test that the
    function is being called), which it is, but it returns null as a
    value instead of the proper string, and this happens only on
    internet Explorer, but works correctly on Firefox.
    I´ve been reading all day about the subject and found a
    few interesting things, which though have made me narrow my
    problem, they haven´t just provided me with a solution, what I
    found so far:
    -I must have in account flash security issues: Checked (my
    actionScript follows:)
    import fl.video.*;
    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
    flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
    var vid:FLVPlayback = this.miPlayer;
    vid.source =
    flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("comun.setVideo");
    -ExternalInterface and Internet explorer don´t work
    properly when tested locally: Checked (I have a server on my PC and
    I´m testing the site as well in the above direction).
    -The object tag holding the swf must have a proper id
    attribute: Checked.
    -It´s super important the way the object tag is formed:
    Checked, and I also tested the tag separately (I put it directly in
    the HTML instead of adding it via javaScript) and it worked as
    expected in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, which leads me to
    believe:
    -I read somewhere that if you add the object tag by using
    innerHTML or appendChild, returning values from javaScript to swf
    won´t work, but I couldn´t find an explanation nor a
    solution.
    Well, as I said now I´ve been looking all day for an
    answer, so I really hope you can help me or give me some advice on
    the subject, thank you so much for your time!

    Hi! it solved itself !! (nahh, I wish), but it indeed had a
    solution, it was something quite simple, and I don´t really
    understand why it was not working in the first place, but here is
    the thing:
    I´m learning jquery and this is the first proyect
    I´m officially using it, so I was using
    $('#myDIV').append("string"); to embed the swf, (and it was working
    perfectly on Firefox), so since I had narrowed my problem to those
    lines, I decided to try some good-old-fashioned-javaScript and
    changed it for: var myDiv =
    document.getElementById('thatParticularDiv'); myDiv.innerHTML =
    ('string'); and it worked both in Firefox and IE !!!!!! :)
    I´m quite happy about it, and if someone knows
    what´s the issue with my jquery approach I would love to hear
    it. THANKS !!

  • Swf link not working in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer but works in Safari

    Hi,

    Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
    I would REALLY appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance!!

    I'm doing it for a client and they dont want it put up on the server yet, I wish I could put it up bc I have no idea what I'm doing!
    Basically I wanted a swf file from Flash to display a range of products (I have turned all the products into buttons) and then I put coding into all the buttons to on release getURL which work in the swf file, however when I put the swf file into dreamweaver, the buttons worked in hover state, but the action scripting didn't work to link the swf file to another page in the website (the index in Our_brands folder).
    So i decided to make it link to the index.html in Our_brands folder from wrapping the swf box in a div tag and linking the div tag <a href="Our_brands/index.html"> which links it great in Safari but wont link in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.
    Does that make any sense?
    Sorry if it doesn't.
    Thanks for the quick reply as well!!!

  • Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

    Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2-3 days ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

    I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
    In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
    Here is a run-down of my process:
    0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
    1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    ( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
    2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
    3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
    Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
    4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
    5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
    Hope this helps.

  • EntityEncodeStrings and Internet Explorer w/ CDATA in XML

    Hello.
    I'm makin a sort of content management system which fetches
    data from an XML file:
    (pages.xml)
    <pages>
    <page id="1">
    <title>Home</title>
    <link>#1</link>
    <content><![CDATA[<h3>Welcome"</h3><p>We're
    experimenting a lot with different stuff on this page, please bare
    with us.</p>]]></content>
    </page>
    <page id="2">
    <title>About</title>
    <link>#2</link>
    <content><![CDATA[<h3>about</h3>Woah,
    hold it there, punk.]]></content>
    </page>
    [etc...]
    </pages>
    My XHTML-file has this in the header:
    var nav = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("/pages.xml",
    "pages/page");
    nav.setColumnType("@id", "number");
    nav.setColumnType("content", "html"); // skips entity
    encoding \o/
    I want to display everything in the <content />-xml
    tree as (X)HTML
    With the code I have everything works perfectly in Firefox,
    but in Internet Explorer (7) I'm getting no data at all because of
    entityEncodeStrings not functioning correctly (or so it seems). If
    I remove this it displays in both Firefox and Internet Explorer
    (though with the entities encoded).
    It doesn't matter which way I do it, using the option
    entityEncodeStrings: false or -1 I get the same (non-)results.
    I'm very thankful for any help!

  • Firefox and internet explorer doesnt work with mac os 10.4.7

    i can't seem to get firefox and Internet explorer to work on my g4 da mac with os 10.4.7. any suggestions...

    Did they ever work for you?
    Did you recently install some new software or make a hardware change to your machine?
    The first rule of thumb with misbehaving applications is to erase the Application's preferences and then try it again, but that might be somewhat dangerous considering that you could accidentally erase all of your bookmarks/favorites in the process.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.4.7 and I can get FireFox 1.07, 1.5, and 2.0, plus IE 5.2.3 to run, in addition to other browsers like Safari 2, OmniWeb 5.5, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.5 and 9.

  • Firefox and Internet Explorer crashes on startup

    Firefox and Internet Explorer both crash at startup. I have tried resetting Firefox but it still crashes. I click on the details box and nothing happens. They will both work fine when I boot up Windows in safe mode.

  • SWF Object and Internet Explorer

    I am experiencing some strange behavior with a SWF Im including in the following web page:
    http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/
    The SWF displays properly on the first page visit in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.  If I navigate away to a child page, then back with the back button in the browser, the SWF no longer displays in IE.  Firefox does not exhibit this behavior.
    Any ideas what might be going on here?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    I'm doing it for a client and they dont want it put up on the server yet, I wish I could put it up bc I have no idea what I'm doing!
    Basically I wanted a swf file from Flash to display a range of products (I have turned all the products into buttons) and then I put coding into all the buttons to on release getURL which work in the swf file, however when I put the swf file into dreamweaver, the buttons worked in hover state, but the action scripting didn't work to link the swf file to another page in the website (the index in Our_brands folder).
    So i decided to make it link to the index.html in Our_brands folder from wrapping the swf box in a div tag and linking the div tag <a href="Our_brands/index.html"> which links it great in Safari but wont link in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.
    Does that make any sense?
    Sorry if it doesn't.
    Thanks for the quick reply as well!!!

  • Local versus Hosted Websites and Internet Explorer 7

    I am working on a site that will be deployed over the internet and distributed on a DVD-ROM. There are many users that do not have access to the internet throughout the day as they are mobile. They have laptops and what to have access to the information on a DVD-ROM. The DVD is needed as the site is far larger than 700MB.
    When I upload the site, it renders well using Safari (Mac), Firefox (Mac), Safari (Windows), Firefox (Windows), and Internet Explorer (7.X Windows).
    When I create a DVD-ROM with a little autoexec.bat file to automatically load the browser and index file, it works great in all of the browsers I have listed above except, Internet Explorer. The javascript menu's are no where to be seen. I have spent time looking a the security issues, scripting permissions etc, and can't get it to work.
    Have body have any specific helpful ideas? I really would like this to work under IE, especially since it renders just fine while accessing the site via the internet. I just doesn't work on a local copy.

    I was having this problem too and found the Dreamweaver 8.0.2
    updater that corrects that problem. See
