Open mpegs in a new quicktime windows instead of browser

I want to click on a video link on a web page, and have the video open in a new quicktime window and start playing right away. I have Flip4mac that does exctly this with wmv files, and i want the same for mpegs, mp4s ect. anyone know how? thanks

The author of the Web page gets to decide how the
file is displayed and they could use
target="quicktimeplayer" in their code to open the
file in QuickTime Player.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
One of my pages that "calls" QuickTime Player and
this also allows some of the "Presentation"
properties of the file to be used.

AppleScript is another way to view QT files outside
the confines of a browser window.
Thanks for your reply.
I tried using the quicktime applescript you recommended, but with it you have to click the video first, wait for it to start loading, then activate the script. A quicktime window opens, and starts loading all over again. I love Flip4mac cause it opens large video windows as soon as you click the vid link. Any suggestions??

When I try to open something in a new tab, Firefox instead opens a file called as untitled.

Hello David.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

Opening file in a new tab/window

Hi,
I have a form (HTML added through a widget) and a number of images on one page. I want each image to be a link to a file, where the images will be seen full quality. however, doing this takes visitors away from the page instead of opening a new tab/window - then clicking back means that the form data is lost - i.e. tickboxes are no longer ticked, etc.
I cannot use the photo viewing page included in iWeb, as the pictures will then overlap with my form because the enlarged images are loaded on the same page.
I hope this makes sense, and if anyone could help with opening files in new tab/window it would be great, or a way of opening a photo viewing platform in a separate tab/window directly from a click of one of the photos. I have seen other sites - http://www.aroundthebusch.com/Folio/London%20to%20Istanbul.html
(this is not mine) where the photo viewing "platform" is IDEAL. I would love something just like this if someone could advise.
i do not want the photos to link to an external page (which can be opened in a new window) as it would mean me creating separate pages for each picture, and linking them all... no way!
Also, it would obviously be preferable to be quick to set up, but also to change. I would need to have multiple pages of many photos, each with the viewing facilities so it could not take a long time to set up. I may also need to add/delete some photos, so if all the linking work was done automatically it would be fantastic.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance, James

If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");

How to open the link in new firefox window for web desktop based application? Or how to open the mail/website/rss link in new firefox window

I am using the firefox 3.6. My problem is that I am using the web desktop and few web desktop based application directly opens link. If I click on rss link than it opens in same window, so no longer access to web desktop. I want to open any kind of link in new window instead of same window. I have tired to change the value of browser.link.open_newwindow, browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction but doesn't work. Also gone through the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open but not sure where to do this in web desktop based application or firefox where we connect the web desktop?
Is there any way to open the link every time in new firefox window?

Hi Joseph,
the HTMLB link object misses the support for onClientClick through the tag lib, see hbj:link without onClientClick ? and OnClientClick Event for Link HTMLB Component for similiar problems and workarounds.
With this workaround, you can call for example an AbstractPortalComponent, implement doOnNodeReady (with an empty doContent method) and return the PDF, settings the content type on the http before etc.
Hope it helps

Open an image in new external window...

Hi all,
I have an image in the server, say "c:\hai.jpg", through my application i want to open this image in a new external window on click of a button.
I used the following code,
          String file ="C:\images\p.JPG";
          final byte[] content = this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath(file);
          final IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.JPG_IMAGE);
          resource.setResourceName("p."+resource.getResourceType().getFileExtension());
          try
               final IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "WD_Filedownload", true);
               window.open();
          catch(Exception e){
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(new WDNonFatalException(e), false);
This code opens a new Internet Explorer, but not the image. When i printed the AbsoluteURL of the resource, its printing null. Where am i going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Pravin

Hi Armin,
I am using this byte array code

           ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
           int length;
           byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
           while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1) {
             out.write(part, 0, length);
           in.close();
           return out.toByteArray();

New Quicktime Window viewer-

Now that apple is launching all these new products they have also revamped the Quicktime windows. It has that clean grey bar and just looks way better than the stock player. Any ways to generate this?
Ricardo

They haven't updated the QuickTime controller.
They've replaced it with a series of javascript files and special images.
Very complicated javascript but you can view the files (and even save a copy) by using the Safari Activity window.

When i select a pdf file for download in a webpage instead of automatically downloading the file and opening it using adobe acrobat I get a new blank window in the browser and it says done in the bottom left corner

when I select a pdf file within a webpage and click to download instead of getting the "download" window and the file automatically opening after download using adobe reader I get a blank webpage (in the same tab) and in the bottom left corner it says"done". No file is downloaded and if I click "back" I just return to the webpage containing the link.

Aha! The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat. This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list.
Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37: nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37. This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder.
Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218: nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50.
As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat. Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current. Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying upgrades or newer versions.

Firefox is opening a new distorted window instead of a new tab like it always has until last night.

Last night when I got home from work (no one has access to my laptop when i am gone) I went to access my email just like I always do. I clicked on the link (Hotmail on MSN's home page) and it usually opens a new tab where I can then sign in. Last night it opened a new window with no access to any toolbars. I have "reset" all my options, reinstalled firefox and nothing is working. I continually get this distorted window, I can't even type in a new address for a new web site. Help!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last night after work

Nope - that didn't work either! What I have at stage 3 above is this readout:
* browser.link.open_newwindow; status: default; type:integer; value:3
* browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction; status: default; type:integer; value:2
* services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.link.open_newwindow; status: default; type:boolean; value:true
I didn't change any values: they were already at the values above: and I presumed the '3' referrred to the first line....
I didn't want to mess around with the '2', because apparently there are dragons in there!

Open help file in new, resized window

I have been trying to set up a button in Captivate which is when clicked opens another Captivate demo that is sized to fixed width/height with no toolbars.While I can open the demo in a new window I can't make it open as a browser frame only.
An example of what I am trying to do can be found in the link below. Click the ? (Help) in the demo to see athe sized window open.
http://www.saskstories.ca/english/work/1stpeoples/index.html
A code example would help me a great deal to get started....
Thanks.

I acutally tried a very similar code before within the Execute Javascript option and nothing happened. I tried the code you provided above as well. Nothing happens when I click the button. I do not think this is a pop-up blocker issue and at this point I am not even sure it is a script issue either. I am testing the file locally from our fileshare and working with Captivate 5.
Thank you!

Open webpage in a new $ie window

When running the following, $ie1 will open web page1 and then will go to page2 after $a.click(). However, Page2 will take the same window as Page1. Is there a way to keep Page1 in $ie1 and open a new window page2 in $ie2 after $a.click() ?
Thanks.
$ie1 = New-Object -COM "InternetExplorer.Application"
$ie2 = New-Object -COM "InternetExplorer.Application"
$ie1.visible = $true
$url = "http://www.website.com/page1.htm
$ie1.navigate($url)
$a = $ie1.document.getElementByID('Page2_id')
$a.click()

Adding to David Sir's answer.....
Rather than creating a new IE object $ie2 and opening the URL associated with the button.
You can use Tab in your $ie1 object....there is a navigate2() method which opens up a tab.
$ie1.navigate2("$URL2",65536)
#Note the value 65536 will open the Tab and make it foreground tab
Hope this helps

Every time I open Firefox or a new Firefox window, my home page opens but so does a second tab showing the LinkedIn login page. Don't know how this started happening or how to stop it.

Figured it out. There was code in the Preferences/home page field telling it to open my home page and that page at the same time in two tabs. Don't know how it happened, but is fixed now.

Yeah, I don't know why I can't find my posted problem of November 18, but it was similar, and I also figured out how to fix it. IF when you open Firefox to your homepage and MORE opens than IS your homepage, then go to tools, options, and check your homepage info. You will find the URLs to your homepage plus whatever windows are opening that you do NOT want. Delete everything but the homepage and close. I had at least 10 windows opening from a browsing session over a week ago every time I opened Firefox... aggravating!

HT3775 can't open .mpeg files on new iMac

I just transferred my .mpg files from my old microsoft computer to my imac and am unable to open the files. I keep getting the following message: The document could not be opened. The required codec isn't available.

Try downloading the free VLC Application and opening it with that. It is the Swiss Army Knife of codecs.

A weird question on opening a new finder window

this is not a big deal, but it really bugs me. when you have a finder window open and do apple-N to get a new one, it puts the new one right on top of the one already open. this is totally stupid. 99% of the time when i open a new window it's because i want to drag a file from one location to another, in which case i have to first move the new window. is there some way you can have it put new windows someplace else other than right on top of the current one?
and please, please, please dear apple, give us tabs in finder windows like in safari. i keep expecting it to happen in each new system upgrade, and it keeps never happening.

...when you have a finder window open and do apple-N to get a new one, it puts the new one right on top of the one already open... is there some way you can have it put new windows someplace else other than right on top of the current one?
In addition to the excellent suggestions regarding the Sidebar offered earlier, you might consider creating an AppleScript and adding it to your Finder window's toolbar. Once added to the toolbar, the script would serve as a button, which, when clicked on, would open a fully viewable new Finder window positioned above and slightly to the left of the existing Finder window. The existing Finder window would be repositioned if necessary and set to a size matching the dimensions of the new window.
The example scripts below were created with the assumption that your Home folder's Finder window opens when you press ⌘N. These scripts can be modified so that another window is opened instead by replacing the word "home" where it appears in the script with "desktop" or "documents" or "applications" etc. To open the "Computer" window use the command *make new Finder window* exclusively. Paths to non system-level folders, or user-created folders, can be specified by using an *open "Macintosh HD:path:to:folder"* command.
Copy and then paste either block of code below into your AppleScript Script Editor (Applications > AppleScript > Script Editor). From the Script Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application, and leave the Options unchecked.
To add the button to your Finder window's toolbar, simply open any Finder window and drag the saved AppleScript icon to a convenient location on the toolbar. Let go of your mouse when you see the round green "+" indicator.
+This script might work best with a monitor set to a minimum 1024 x 768 screen resolution:+
*tell application "Finder"*
activate
*make new Finder window to (path to home folder)*
*set the bounds of window 1 to {70, 59, 955, 399}*
*set the bounds of window 2 to {100, 403, 985, 743}*
*activate window 2*
*end tell*
+This version would be more suitable for a monitor set to 800 x 600 screen resolution:+
*tell application "Finder"*
activate
*make new Finder window to (path to home folder)*
*set the bounds of window 1 to {85, 47, 715, 317}*
*set the bounds of window 2 to {115, 320, 745, 595}*
*activate window 2*
*end tell*
Good luck.

I have created a folder in "Bookmarks Toolbar" and I want to open all sites saved into the folder into separate window, instead of opening them into tabs, how do i do that?

I want to open multiple sites in NEW firefox window, as soon as I click on the folder from "Toolbar menu". I can see a option there "Open all in tabs". Is it possible to set one more option "Open all in new windows"

THANK YOU! So easy, now I feel stupid. ;)
Sorry, Firefox 4.0 is driving me nuts in many ways, this is just one of them.
