Cookies in local HTML files not working

I'm developing a widget and using Safari as a testing place for development. It is working well, however, I've noticed a problem with cookies.
I'm temporarily using cookies to set preferences until I move to the widget world where I have a separate place to store preferences. The problem is, this isn't working.
Cookies don't appear to work for files that are stored locally. I run the same exact page in Firefox and it works fine, but whenever I try to read a set cookie from safari it comes back as null. Also ... there are no errors in the Safari javascript console.
Is this a limitation of Safari? If so, how do you program preferences for widgets since Apple has clearly stated to use Safari to test widgets when in development?
This is with the latest versions of Safari (2.0.2) and Firefox (1.5).

Nah, no use posting code, I'm pretty sure it is just a limitation of the browser, for whatever reason.
I didn't have that much persistant stuff, so I just moved to the dashboard for development and that worked out okay.
Here's my final product, if you're interested:

Locally stored html files not working in default b...

I use html files transferred from my computer till my Nokia 5800. But after I upgraded to the latest firmware 21-something, the links between the pages don't work anymore. All the links are relative and refer to pages and pictures stored in the same folder. It worked before the upgrade.
Any ideas to what the problem might be?
The link look like this in the source:
<a href="_2NameIndex.html">Name</a><br>

These files, which display the html snippet in the webpage, are missing :

" I would really appreciate your comment on this problem..!

relaxatraja may be right, it could just be your path which is wrong.....
But you are already using a "relative" path... so that can stay the same... it just might be the wrong one.
From an old article on pathing:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

In IE7 CLSID In HTML File Not Working With 1.4 and 1.5 Plugins Installed

Thanks in advance.
I'm using JRE 1.4.2_03 with a CLSID attribute in my HTML file. It works fine with Internet Explorer 6. If I install a newer version of the JRE (i.e. 1.5.0) IE6 still uses the 1.4.2_03 plugin.
But, when we install Internet Explorer 7, IE ignores the CLSID in the HTML file and starts the 1.5.0 plugin.
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, then how do I solve it?
Thanks.

Yes, I solved it by using this classid in the <OBJECT> tag in my HTML file:
classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
The "FFFF" in the middle tells the IE browser to use the highest build of the major version of the JRE that you specifiy in the clsid. In the case of my example, above, the browser selects the highest build of JRE 1.4.2. But, the catch is that you have to install JRE 1.5.0 (I think it's 1.5.0_07) or later. Just install 1.5.0_11 and it will work. This may seem strange, but, for some reason, Sun didn't implment the fix in 1.4.

AirPlay buffering from local video file [NOT WORKING]

We have been trying to play videos on our Apple TV, (Actually 2 of them, neither worked). WE have a local video file on our mac (iTunes Version 11.3.1) and we have been trying to play the video n out Apple TV using AirPlay. We can select the Apple TV from the AirPlay list but when we go to watch it all it does is buffer. It buffers for ever. This happened on both our Apple TV's (one is a ten. 2 and the other a gen. 3). We have also tried using our other mac which also runs iTunes 11.3.1. Our network works fine, (Apple Time Capsule) we have backups going to it and everything. This issue only started about 3 days ago; before that everything worked perfectly for more then two years. (Across two different routers). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Just linking to the file won't work. You'll have to call
navigateToURL with that file's path. This will load the file in the

Jsp:include of html file not working

          Hi
          I wrote:
          <jsp:include page="include.html" />
          <% pageContext.include("include.html"); %>
          in my jsp, but there is no output and no error message.
          What could be the problem?
          If I include include.jsp it works.
          Does jsp:include only work with jsp, not with html???
          I am wondering whether our servlet registrations could be responsible. We have:
          weblogic.httpd.defaultServlet=*.jsp
          weblogic.httpd.register.*.jsp=weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet
          weblogic.httpd.register.*.htm=weblogic.servlet.FileServlet
          weblogic.httpd.register.*.html=weblogic.servlet.FileServlet
          so that the default servlet is the JSPServlet, not the ServletServlet. We don't
          want to use the ServletServlet because it can deliver source code.
          What we want to do is a dynamic including of a file, like so:
          <% String s = ...; %>
          <jsp:include page="<%= s %>" />
          Thanks for any help.
          Alex


          By changing the weblogic servlets that are registered, I can get it to work. The
          combination that works is:
          weblogic.httpd.defaultServlet=file
          weblogic.httpd.register.*.jsp=weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet
          weblogic.httpd.register.file=weblogic.servlet.FileServlet
          I am surprised that it doesn't work if *.html is mapped explicitly to the FileServlet
          (which would leave the defaultServlet unused). Why is that?
          And why can't I map defaultServlet to "weblogic.servlet.FileServlet" directly,
          without the intervening virtual name "file"?
          What are the security implications of having FileServlet as the default servlet?
          Thanks

Link to local wmv file not working - is this possible?

Destinations from an HTML file not working with Acrobat XI

When the link is executed in Acrobat X it opens to the correct destination. When opened with Acrobat XI it doesn't. In fact, when I open the PDF (created with Acrobat Pro X) with Acrobat Pro XI I don't see any destinations... I don't see where to view them if they do exist. I already tried disabling the protected settings in XI and that didn't work. What happens is a dialog for downloading the PDF opens and your only choice is opening the PDF to the first page (instead of the destination). This is also happening on all browsers... so I am suspecting something buried in the Control Panel. Please help.

Thank you but this doesn't help... I know where the destination pane is... that's how I created them... Acrobat XI is not showing the destinations but the issue is Acrobat XI opening a download dialog instead of following the destination. I think it's an application or Windows issue but I don't see it...

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files (with .htm or .html extensions). It fails on files that previous versions of Safari opened. Firefox continues to open them. Any suggestions?

Turn this option off:

Firefox will not automatically convert local pdf URL to include file:// like it does for local html files

I have some local PDFs sorted by navigating some local html files. Firefox recognizes that the html files need to be addressed file:///C:/SD_Online/datasc.html. When clicking the link for a PDF it remains c:/SD_Online/L-R4-106.pdf and I get an error saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (c) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."

Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by; '''File > Open File.'''

How to load local html-file into webBrowser tool? [SDK 6.5]

The webbroser tool lets you load an external html by inputting the adress in its "Url"-property.
But how do you load a local html-file that is added to your project? Lets say the path is: Folder1/Subfolder1/Webpage1.html. What would I put in the Url-property to make this work?
While on this subject, what is the support for css and javascript when using locally loaded webpages in the webbrowser?

Thanks for the answer Malleswar, but I have now played around with all variations of that code-line that I can think of, but still I can not locate the html-file that is located within the project. Since Im planning to distribute the html-files with the executable (as one file) it should read it directly from wherever the application is installed.
The html-file is included within the project. Solution Explorer -> Solution 'myProject' -> myProject -> Webpage1.html
Which is (as usual) also where the Form1.cs (which contains the webBrowser-component) is located.
Any ideas of how the Uri should be constructed in this case?
Thanks,
Daniel

Parse local HTML files

Hi,
I want to parse local HTML files.
Is there another way than using the Internet Explorer($ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application";) (without relaying on external packages)?
At the moment I do something like that:
$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application";
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
$ie.Navigate($srcFile)
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
$ParsedHtml = $ie.Document
foreach($child in $ParsedHtml.body.getElementsByTagName('table'))
I still want to have the methods like 'getElementById()' or 'getElementByTagName()'.
With my current approache, the performance is not realy good and it seems that the iexplorer.exe process is not terminating at the end of the script.
Also it seems to have sideeffects with running internet explorer instances (from GUI) - not working to start IE in powershell sometimes.
Last time I also have a hanging script, not continuing till i manually terminate the iexplorer.exe process.
The error was:
Exception calling "Navigate" with "1" argument(s): "The remote procedure call f
ailed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)"
At D:\Scripts\Run.ps1:529 char:14
+ $ie.Navigate <<<< ($src)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
so I would prefere a method parsing HTML without IE.

Hi John Mano,
Please also try to Parse local HTML files with
System.Xml.Linq, the script may be helpful for you:
Using PowerShell to parse local HTML files
I hope this helps.
XML?
I thought HTML is not compatible with xml.
And as I don't know LINQ good ...
Ok, I'll give it a try. later.
I can't answer the question about other ways to parse HTML, but to close your IE session you should do the following:
$ie.Quit() # this terminates the IE process
$ie = $null # this frees the COM object memory
Thanks for that.
I now use that, but seems to be still some IEs open ...
Maybe a path missing where i dont do it.
But finally I still get this error. And it is blocking the whole script ...
Exception calling "Navigate" with "1" argument(s): "The remote procedure call f
ailed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)"
At E:\DailyBuild\Scripts\PublishTestResults.ps1:533 char:15
+ $ie.Navigate <<<< ($srcFile)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation

Can't select local html files with web object in captivate 8

I can select pdf's via browse, but it I want to add local html files I have to type the path in manually. I'm guessing this is just a bug, I should be able to choose web pages for the web object even if they are local right?

Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.

How to display local HTML file in web-view?

Hello everyone,
we have no problem with showing of remote HTML content from server in box on page in web view. But how we can show such a content when included in HTMLResources? In guide is just "Display a local HTML file in an in-app browser", which works wihout problem, but we don't want to show this HTML content in in-app viewer, it should be part of page.
Thanks
Martin

Now i'm confused. In guide is this:
To use local HTML files, click the folder icon and specify the local HTML file. The HTML file (such as index.html) should appear in a folder that includes any images or scripts used in the HTML file.
But no info where such a local HTML file should reside. If this file is in HTMLResources, it is ignored.

Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

hI all
I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
Any advice much appreciated.

I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
Thanks.
Lynn
