AWP and "Mark Of The Web"

I'm trying to add the "mark of the web" to the pages that run
the web player and it causes the web player not to run for me. All
I get is an outline box where the player should be. If I take that
code out, it works as normal. Any ideas?

I never found that useful for Authorware content.
What problem are you trying to fix by using this?

HTML5 and 'Mark of the web'

Are there any plans to add a 'Mark of the web' option for Responsible HTML5? Without it, end users using Microsoft Internet Explorer must set a security option to 'Allow active content to run on My Computer.' I know alternatives are to use Chrome or host the Help system (or ask end user to set up a web server in which to host the Help system), but neither of these workarounds are options at the present time. Thanks for any help you can provide.

If you go to the index page of your output and edit it with notepad you can manually add the MOTW. Mark up is shown below.

It is a time saving device for when you are not loading the content from a website. When loading from a website the browser can see where it is coming from. When running it off your local hard drive the browser cannot see a URL and blocks the content. MOTW is placing an instruction into the web page telling the browser it is from the internet. I have exactly the same issue when using other Authoring tools so use this when I want to test on IE. Other browsers do not require this mark up.

Issue with Mark of the Web, PDFs, and merged WebHelp

I'm sure this has come up before, but I can't locate the definitive answer.
I am using RH8 and have a merged WebHelp system containing a parent projects and 10 or so child projects. Previously, when I generated the WebHelp projects, I selected the Mark of the Web check box for the parent and all the children. Everything seemed to work fine.
Now, I've been asked to create a new child project with links to a large number of PDF files. After reviewing the documents on this forum, I realized I needed to (1) unselect Mark of the Web to see the PDFs in the generated output and (2) change my IE settings to Allow Active Content to Run from Files on PC. Unfortunately, while I can now see PDFs just fine, my merged help is no longer working correctly--the link from the parent topic to a project generated w/o Mark of the Web no longer works. That is:
If Mark of Web selected:
     PDFs don't work
     merged help does
If Mark of Web not selected:
     PDFs work
     merged help does not
How can I make everything work?
Thanks.

Are you testing locally?
Have you tried after publishing to the server? If not do so as that will likely make the difference.

Mark of the Web and Explorer stupidity

So, we are working on a very clever little program that acts as a browser independent bookmark util, and strips Google's tracking data. It's not a screen scraper. It's a bookmark utility.
It can also download images to local files.
As a browser independent util, bookmarks are written to html pages. We want an OnClick open in new window aspect. This is to reduce the number of opened browser pages\tabs and also to allow an easily returnable window handle to the Window that we
open for the bookmarks.
Works great with FF and Chrome and older IE. Newer IE on Win Vista 8.x does not open in new window. Opens links in tabs which (as we all know do not adhere to Microsft's Windows Hierachy Rules) so we can't use the db app to find the originating
Window, and therefore have to open a new one on the next Open Bookmarks call. hwnd values do not work with tabbed browsers, so don't suggest that. Neither does inspecting every running process for the process thread and backtracking, so again,
no lame ass responses, please.
If we add the poorly documented Mark of the Web tag to the page, then yes, we can open pages or images on the web in a new window. BUT, not locally stored files even with fully formed paths.
This is ridiculous.
In other words, an image on a site that may be compromised is now 'secure' using MotW, but a local file is not?
What moron at Microsoft thought this made sense? How the hell do you justify locking down a local file but leaving a web based one exposed? MSIE's security protocols get more ridiculous with every new wet behind the ears hire kid that you bring
on board. You guys apparently are big on rules that have zero real world application value.
Explain, please, (without the bullshit icacls Dos cmd run as admin), how a user is allowed to link to file on their own computer's hard drive, which I may add, they paid for - you did not - especially when we have, on download, checked the correct file sig,
to make sure it is valid.
As it stands, we are thinking that we should just give up on fixing IE's constant issues and just advise users to install FF.
I await answers that are competent.

I appreciate the offer to help, Rob, but this has nothing whatsoever to do with domains, pop-up blocker settings or anything of such a basic nature. Neither is this about css or scripting. It is about Microsoft's stupidity pure and simple.
And, btw, I am a pro.
However, I have now resolved the issue to large extent, and am happy to report that I can now use code to elevate permissions at will. I can also now hide content in files, including hiding binaries in simple text files. If Microsoft were not so
dumb, I wouldn't now know all this or have a need to know.
Here's something for you to ponder, assuming of course that you are a professional.
Create an htm page, with a link to link to say a text file or image file that you created. (So you created both the htm and the target file).
You want the target to open in a new window. Not a new tab. You want the new window to be re-usable. So you add a simple OnClick - New Window instruction to the href.
MSIE freaks out when it sees the Onclick instruction and delivers a restricted Script/Active-X message.
There are no script <> tags on the htm page - they are not needed, and there are no active-x controls.
This is a local page, not on a domain, not on the web.
If we tell MSIE to allow, it will open the page but ignore the new window instruction. (and of course, when we reload the page, we go through the same bull-crap again).
So we find that we have to add the bogus Mark of the Web tag. We do that and now the links do NOTHING. No error message, no explanation. Just NOTHING.
We find that we need to either add a Low Security specifier via icacls or use an Alternate Data Stream to add hidden clandestine values. If we use ADS, simply using the local Intranet zone, it fails. So, we have to pretend the file was from the
web, even though it was created locally and add an ADS to that effect.
All of this, just to link to a file that i created, on my PC.
The problem is that MSIE recognizes MOTW for the Onclick, but not for link handling. Very Dumb.
Since MS are strong advocates of ADS, why does MSIE not just write an ADS tag to say 'user says this file is okay'. Or, even obey their own rules for MOTW. Very Freakin Dumb and lazy coding.
So, because I had to jump through hoops and learn about crap I had no interest in, for something this simple, I now know how to do lots of stuff that some may consider dangerous, although it never occurred to me before. This has been a constant theme
with Microsoft. I learn more about how to hack a system than comply, simply coz MS is lame with documenting or does something as dumb as this.
So, thanks for the response, I have it handled. Although I saw about 30 questions from non pros asking why their picture of little timmy won't open, and am sure it has to do with hidden ADS and permissions, I just love how nearly every response from an
mvp is to reinstall msie.
Years ago I used to participate in ms security & db forums. Never ceased to amaze me how mvp types would always have people reinstall everything. Is that the first thing they teach in MVP school?
btw, as far adding a local folder to local intranet zone, can't be done. Of course it does not help that the little MSIE dialog is wrong with their examples, and has been for at least a decade.

Gary

Mark of the web/template problem

I created three Dreamweaver Templates for my site. I inserted the mark of the web code to each template to allow me to test and preview pages without the pop-up messages. All of my pages are about done and some pages using spry and SWF files weren't previewing properly in IE so I decided that it was time to remove the mark of the web code from the templates. As soon as I tried doing this I got a message about data outside the HTML tag and if I continue changes to pages based on this template will not occur unless you insert the following code .
So I hit continue. I got a couple of other error messages telling me I did something wrong. I went back into my template and typed in the code Dreamweaver told me to enter. I saved the template and got some more errors. I didn't think to copy it all down at the time. So after all these nasty messages I'm not sure what's happened. So I make some changes to a horizontal spry menu and hit save. I get some more error messages about the changes will not affect pages based on the template. I have to cancel out of a couple of error dialog boxes. I load a few pages that were based on the template and see that none of the changes that I made to the spry menu on the template are reflected on the html pages created from the template.
So I go into the template and try deleting all references to the mark of the web code. Then I try changing the CodeOutsideHTMLisLocked="true"--> to "false." That didn't work. Then I tried deleting the entire line  thinking that if I just got rid of all of it that it would fix my problem. No such luck.
So now I start searching online for answers and I see some things about attaching and detaching templates. Okay, so maybe if I detach the template and then re-attach it everything will update. When I follow the instructions to do this I learn that the page is no longer attached to a template. That would explain why my changes in the template aren't updating the other pages. So then I try re-attaching the template. I open the assets panel, click on templates, select the template, and then click apply. Nothing. It won't let me attach a template. Template properties shows no template properties available.
Here is some of the code from of a page based on the template two_column.dwt
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>ONA</title>
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<meta name="Description" content="This page contains images of some of the former employes of Overseas National Airways." />
You can't see it the code I pasted but everything after 1999/xhtml is grayed out and you can't edit it.
So now I'm totally confused and have no idea what I need to do to straighten this mess out.

I thought I'd update this discussion and close it out. The reason why my pages weren't updating was because I
was using a template improperly. I had made the menu editable, which you're not supposed to do. The whole mark of the web issue was unrelated to my problem.

Mark of the web

I intially thought that it was my computer that had a problem
until clients gave feed-back that they were getting the same
problem.
This is the pb:
when I include the mark of the web on the webhelp output (or
webhelp pro), when the help system opens the following error
message is systematically displayed:
"A runtime Error has occured.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 225
Error: Access is denied"
After a bit of debugging, it seems it the WHUTILS.JS file
that is affected. Apparently the msxml3.dll cannot be accessed and
that generated the error.
I tried all the possible fixes from the net for msxml3.dll,
and nothing seems to be giving me a solution.
I am working with XP SP2 with IE7 browser and using RH6.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply. I sort of recall having this
conversation with you a while ago. Indeed I realise that webhelp
and webhelp pro outputs are different in nature: I use the webhelp
output to place the local help system on the disk that we deliver
to the client and place the webhelp pro output on the server with
the RoboHelp server for our customer support site.
Both outputs are compiled in clearly distinct folders and
there is no overlapping between the two.
The reason why I mentionned both outputs is because I am
getting the same type of pb with the same symptoms when adding the
mark of the web. Naturally, for the webhelp pro this does not
matter as I do not add the mark of the web for server based help
(which makes me wonder why Adobe has added this option for this
output and more importantly, why it is selected by default) but
just mentionned in order to indicate that this is not specific to
the webhelp output.
This said, my point was that when adding the mark of the web
option, I get the error described above whereas when it is not
added, everything works fine (apart from the fact that the active
content is blocked and the user has to explicitely allow active
content to be displayed). Therefore it seems that the inclusion of
this option is generating some type of error and I hoped that
perhaps someone else had encountered it and found a workaround as I
am unable to find a viable solution to this.

Generate fails with Mark of the Web

Warning new Rh user
With that disclaimer out of the way maybe someone can help me
figure out this problem. It isn't critical. I am actually running a
trial version of Rh7 on an offline laptop and using a tutorial
document to try and learn the tool.
The laptop is using IE7. One of the scenarios is to generate
WebHelp SSL with and without the 'mark of the web' setting.
When the setting is unchecked I receive the warning about
scripts and ActiveX, but my Help content is displayed and I can
navigate through it.
However when I check the 'mark of the web' option and
generate my SSL even though the warning no longer is displayed I
only see my default topic and no other content. The tabs (Content,
Index, Search) display but do not have any content or function. I'd
appreciate any help or guidance.

Well Peter the result is the same (no content) but I do
receive a different message stating my security setting do not
allow websites to use ActiveX controls installed on this computer.
I guess I can go back and talk to my MIS folks.
Thanks

Mark of the Web Question

Can someone please clarify something on the new Mark of the
Web option on WebHelp output in RH6? Even though the option is
available when generating WebHelp output, the resulting output does
not appear any different than it did with RH X5 for the same
project (and still does not work with our VB app on a local machine
when the Active X security option is turned off). Now I see the
What's New in This Release topic in the RH6 help file lists WebHelp
Pro, FlashHelp, and FlashHelp Pro as the layouts that support Mark
of the Web. No WebHelp. So does Mark of the Web work for WebHelp or
not? Do I have to change my output to WebHelp Pro to get mark of
the web? If so, what other implications are there for switching
from WebHelp to WebHelp Pro? Does this mean I have to buy RH6
Server instead of plain RH6?
Sorry to be freaking out, but this is not what I
expected. Thanks!

Since we are speaking of the WOM feature, I am having some
diffculties with this feature too but with totally different
symptoms and ouput:
It is the Webhelp pro output that is causing me a headache:
when I add this feature and the web app calls on the help using an
online webhelp pro call (
http://server/roboAPI.asp?project=projectname
or
http://server/roboAPI.asp?project=projectname&context=ID>context)
the help page fails to load. Just a white htm page and exporer 7
seems to be lost and confused... Any ideas?

How to deploy existing forms and reports on the web

Hi Guys,
I have 6i forms and reports within our environment, and we are running client/server architecture, by installing forms and reports runtime on each client PC's. We would like to get rid of this by deploying forms and reports on the web, without zero coding. Can any one suggest and guide me through the process with proper security mechanism enabled along with.
Thanks in advance,
Aji

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.

Why is my Mac storing graphics and photos from the web in iPhoto?

How can I prevent my Mac from downloading graphics and photos from the web? How do I remove the thousands of images that the Mac moved into iPhoto when I browse the web?

This has been reported a few time with no definitive cause. It probably is caused by dragging things to iPhoto. Best solution is to load the back up from just before it occurred. Otherwise you neen to use iPhoto to delete them emptying the iPhoto trash every 100 or so

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

My Wikis and Ical on the WEB give a Server starting up.. message

Wikis (and Ical on the WEB) give a Server starting up... message with the turning wheel. They were working perfect, and yesterday started the problem. I have not changed any of the server settings neither permissions. From Mozilla Firefox on windows throes an Mac OS X server message
500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request. Sorry. Safari gives a Server starting up..
I checked permissions and look ok, root and admin group have read & write access. to
/Volumes/DATA HD/ServiceData/Web/Documents/Collaboration folder and up in the path.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I tried updating to OS X 10.6.5 but the problem continues.

I am having a similar issue as you marktech, with colaboration folder on a different drive.
My temporary solution is to stop and start web services on the server, and the message goes away and users can log in. Problem comes back on a server restart.
Swamped here so have not been able to apply troubleshooting techniques.
What I have checked is verifying permissions on collaboration folder. Seems like I had to re-apply permissions after any significant update.
My final resolution will be to migrate from the ssd hard drive (the extra speed is not any significant impact for us) to a 1TB hard drive and migrate data back over to a single drive in original directory locations. appologies have not had ample time to research the issues....
