What html code will start an EXE (program) with a click on a webpage link?

The code in bold below worked. After I switched my browser from IE 11 to Firefox to get the hover on hotspots to work, the program gave me this error message. I moved the EXE file to my local file folder and tried it as shown below. Still no success. Any suggestions?

Perhaps this might be helpful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/
It allows executables in Firefox to be run - it is an extenstion, though, so it must be installed in Firefox before your page will work.
Another option is this solution, but it will still require a manual change in Firefox:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=803615
Or this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472435/running-exe-in-firefox-why- do-i-get-an-error
However, you will still have problems with getting it to work cross-browser. Honestly, browsers are not supposed to have access like that to the client side file system, which absolutely makes sense for the web.
That is why you may have to approach the solution from a different angle - perhaps create a server side cloud version of your application(s) which can be easily accessed and run by your family members. I believe you used C to develop the applications? Although I have no experience with this framework, Wt might be a solution to convert your projects to server side applications:

ASP code to start a Java program (with parameters)

Hi! All,
I am trying to write some ASP code which should start a java program. Does anybody know a simple way to do this? Am new to ASP
Thanks

It doesn't have anything to do with java.
Basically you need to make a system call which will start an external application. The external application can be anything including something like "java MyClass".
So either find an ASP forum/board/newsgroup to ask how to do a system call or read some docs on it.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks
Mark

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

Can i create an exetutable (.exe) program with java???????

I would like to learn how i can create an exetutable (.exe) program with java.
Is there any additional package which i should download or buy it?
Also i would like to write files into CD's direct from my application.
Is there any library which i must download or buy?
Thanks!

check out the free open source GNU gcj native compiler for Java to see if it will do what you want.
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
for writing data files you could use java.io.BufferedWriter. For sound files, look in the javax.sound package

HTML Code will not generate Thumbnail image.

For Months I have been using this html code to generate a thumbnail image on on of the pages on my site. It essentially creates a player for the podcasts that I create on www.buzzsprout.com. Buzz sprout our the ones that provide the html code to put on your site.
Here is the code: <script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXXX.js?player=large&limit=1" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>.
The XXXXX in the code represent the numbers for the individuals podcast page where the podcasts are displayed once they have been uploaded to their site. Soon after the latest update I have been unable to generate a thumbnail image on my site using this code. Why is that?

I am not sure what you mean be sharing a sample project. The website in question is www.ccont.com. Can't you create a page and paste the html code on it and see if it generates a thumbnail image. Use this html code that include my account number: <script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/22782.js?player=large&limit=1" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

What HTML code can I use in Mail (signature box composition)?

I'm from Spain. It appears that iOS 6 allows to use HTML code in order to compose signatures in Mail. I have tried to use several codes but they don't work... Do you know what HTML tags are accepted by Mail signatures in iOS 6? Thank you.

you can create a signature in mail preferences->signatures. the editing tools there are very basic but if your company's signature is not too fancy you might be able to recreate it. if that's not good enough, the only way around that i know is a the following hack
create a dummy signature in mail preferences->signatures. then go to the directory /users/username/library/mail/signatures and locate the webarchive with your signature. then make an html file using your favorite html editor. put whatever you need in it. save it and open it in safari. then save it as a webarchive from safari and overwrite the dummy signature you made with that webarchive.

Since i don't have idvd on my new imac, what is the best alternative dvd burning program with similar features? (creating menus, elegant and easy to use, etc.)

I just found out that Apple no longer ships a solo version of idvd with the new macs. I used this program with my imac as it was simple and got the job done.
In imovie, under "share" there is an option for idvd, but it isn't a program i can get into like the old one for menu creation, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good reliable dvd burning program with menu creation features similar to idvd?

Hi
There are two answers
A. No there are nothing like iDVD - at all
B. read on
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Why will Safari not launch Eudora when I click on an email link?

It used to work just fine. However, for about a month now, when I click on "send an email" at my Real Estate Board site, Safari is replaced by a white screen, then reverts back to the "send an email" page. Eudora doesn't launch. Mail doesn't launch. I have Internet Explorer for Mac installed as well, and it won't connect via my e-mail programs either.
I also run Virtual PC, and under it, Internet Explorer. The Windoze version still works.
What gives?

Let me restate my problem.
If I run Safari, click on the email link which should launch Eudora and open a "New Message" window, the screen goes white for a second and reverts back to the link screen but nothing happens. If I launch Eudora first, then in Safari click on the link, still nothing happens.
If I run Explorer for Mac v 5.2.3 it will neither launch Eudora nor open a New Message window if Eudora is already launched.
If I run FireFox, and I click on the link, Eudora will launch and a New Message window opens as it used to do in Safari.
I could really use some help here. Any ideas? Why should I have to use 3rd party browsers?

My form was working properly but today, 20 June, an applicant clicked on the website link and got an error that says, "error opening document, please try again later". How can this be fixed?

Is this a FormsCentral form?

Look like it is expecting Conio, which was a MS only console IO API. There are some implementations of Conio for Linux though. It might be worth learning ncurses, to just replace the Conio bits.
