Cross platform javascript Reader detection

Is there a javascript or vbscript to detect the installation and version of Reader on a users machine? I have located a couple of scripts that worked on both IE and Mac for versions 8 and below. I installed Reader v9 and I can still detect that it is installed on Windows with IE but not in Firefox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't run Flash in a browser in iOS, not even a browser inside an app (it's still Safari).
If you want Flash content inside your app, you need Adobe AIR. Then use StageWebView (plus StageWebViewBridge) to show the parts in HTML.
You can use Adobe Flash Builder or FDT to code in AS3.

How could I create, force mount, and burn a read-only cross-platform .iso image?

Hello,
I am new to this group.
I want to perform the following steps as quickly as possible.
1. Create a cross-platform .iso
2. Mount the cross-platform .iso as read-only
3. Unmount the cross-platform .iso
4. Finally, burn the cross-platform read-only .iso to CD-R media
I need someone to give me an example and step-by-step instructions by using the hdiutil command in Mac Terminal.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
John P.

1. Create a cross-platform .iso
hdiutil makehybrd -o image-file source-directory -iso -iso-volume-name volume-name
2. Mount the cross-platform .iso as read-only
hdiutil attach image-file
3. Unmount the cross-platform .iso
hdiutil detach /Volumes/volume-name
4. Finally, burn the cross-platform read-only .iso to CD-R media
hdiutil burn image-file
For more information, see the man page for hdiutil(1).

What's the proper way to do this cross-platform app?

hey y'all
I'm making a multimedia app with LV2010 and I'm trying to make it cross platform (win and mac os x).
The functionality I need requires the use of system libraries, I have access to somewhat similar functions in both OS's
(winmm.dll in windows, coreMidi.framework in mac OS X)
Except for the actual system calls the VIs will be identical.
I can make the VI work in either platform by using the call library function node, but i don't want to have two copies of everything.
I've tried doing a wrapper sub VI that puts the call library function node in a case statement and detect the OS but this VI will not be executable because of dependencies (won't find the library referenced in one of the cases. depending on the OS executed)
Is there any way I can specify which subVI's to load on a project or something to get this whole dependency issue sorted?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You want to wrap the platform-specific code in a Conditional Disable structure, with one condition for each supported platform. The OS symbol is already defined; see the help for Creating Conditional Disable Structures, which lists the pre-defined symbols and values.

Is Java the only real way of doing cross-platform GUI

I'm planning a project that will involve some GUI-centric work (its essentially a spreadsheet with some functional programming features). I want to have it be cross platform because I would like to build it as a tool for first time programmers. I haven't really done much GUI programming before but from what experience I have, it seems that the JVM with Swing is the the least painful for the user. I've had some experience with Python, but can't find something that works equally well on all platforms without the user installing a lot of stuff. I've also considered going the JavaScript+browser route, but that's not something I'd like to tackle. Any other ideas?

Just about anything can be statically linked. You can even statically link Python and Perl scripts with the interpreter and all the needed libraries, although that would of course hog lots and lots of space that probably isn't necessary. Compiled languages like C and C++ are the best options for static linking imo.
I find it contradictory that you want "to give users a single file [that] they can just click and run without having to install a bunch of frameworks first", and immediately turn to Java. Java is not universal, and it's a significantly large framework to have to install just to run one program. I can write a GUI program with Python and Tkinter and tell Windows users to install Python first; it's the same thing as compiling a .jar and telling Windows users to install Java first. If you really just want a click-and-run executable, then your only option (for Windows) is a statically linked .exe.
Difference being that most probably the user already has java, since more and more webpages require it to run.

Cross-platform compatibility?

Not addressed in product specs:
How does Muse handle cross-platform compatibility?
Does it use HTML5 features?
How does it handle audio and video?
Can it generate a 'functioning' contact form?

Muse handles output for most desktop browsers well.
Muse only produces HTML5.
Muse does not import audio or video files unless you paste code into this 'codeless' design tool.
Muse only produces client side javascript. It offers no server side scripting (contact forms, comment areas, user account registration, password protection, e-commerce). If you want that, you'll need to paste code into this "codeless" design tool.
It is possible to find more mature web design programs.

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)

I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
Paul

Hi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!

Using javascript to detect the onclick event over a datatable row

Hi all,
I'm working with JSF 1.2 R.I. and I would like to add some javascript to my datatable to be able to control the onclick event on a row.
At the moment I have just added a checkbox to be able to know which row the user wants to select but I'm not satisfied with this solution.
<h:dataTable
value="#{person_iupopulations_Observation.customer}" var="customer"
rowClasses="evenRow,oddRow"
cellspacing="0">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Select" />
</f:facet>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="" onclick="getRow(this)">
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{customer.Name}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
What I would like to achieve is:
When the user clicks the row (wherever, not only the checkbox) the checkbox changes to the new value depending, off course, on the user's selection.
For this purpose I would need to add the onclick event to every row and associate it to a javascript function to update the checkbox.
Can anybody help me please.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for answers on how to use javascript to detect the onclick event over a datatable row . I have a selectBooleanCheckBox in one of the columns in the every row in the table. On click of the checkbox in any row of the table, I want to get some values from the selected row and also verify that the rest of the checkboxes in all the other columns are unchecked. I want to do this using javascript. If any of you have answers, please repsond. Thanks.

Email images and signatures not displaying cross platform??

I have noticed something odd when emailing people who are using windows. For some reason, attachments and signatures that are images (.jpg files that WILL open in a browser on the PC) or PDF's do not show up in the body of the email I send to them. Yet they are using HTML email, and emails they send to ME do have images showing up correctly in both the body of the email and the signatures on my Mac. Is there something on my end that I need to do in the formating to make this cross platform? Has anyone else run into this?
I'm confused, I thought HTML was HTML....

Same here... in Outlook 2007 many times the Mac email signature ends up as an HTM attachment... Any news on this odd behavior!

GREAT cross browser javascript xml libriary

Hello !
This cross browser javascript xml libriary, will make work with XML much easier.
I am working on client side javascript at my job, and had to handle some data in big xml files using advanced xpath and this is not problem when dealing with IE but when it comes to Firefox and Opera it become nightmare to finish this job.
Then I decided to write module in javascript that can handle xml query using xpath:
http://www.softxml.com/softxmllib/softxmllib.htm
It supports all known browsers on windows.
It's functions named same as Microsoft.XMLDOM
loadXML,load,selectNodes but supported by all browsers
If any one of you tired too writing javascript/xml for all browsers, then go and download this module!!!!
Thanks

But since the only way (or at least so I think) to pass a
javascript variable to CF is via a javascript
document.location.href redirect (and passing the variables via URL
variables), I have the javascript in the first page redirect and
send the variables to the coldfusion template that then digests the
xml and does a database insert.
You should just do a server-side redirect and avoid
Javascript altogether. As a rule of thumb, one should use
Javascript to manipulate data or presentation at the client end.

How to make cross platform screensavers

I work on an Imac on os X. I need to make screensavers for
cross platform (win/mac) distribution. I have flash 8 pro. Is there
any viable solution cheaper than the $200 for "Iscreensaver" or
$300 for "screentime" softwares? Failing that, does anyone have a
preference between the two? do you know if they allow flash
interactivity or just animation?
thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no choices for you when comes to MAC.
Windows has over
30 really good screensaver tools, some of which very capable
and totally free.
Myself do not use Mac but friends who do, use the
"screentime" as preferred tool.
Check the features, see what you need and which tools deliver
what you looking
for than pick the winner :)

What's a good cross-platform choice?

Hey,
I use LE and GB, but I would like to have any suggestions about a good cross-platform program that I could use to do some collaborations with a friend who is stuck with a Windows-based system for now.
Anyone?

If you want a DAW that is cross platform, you have the choice between Cubase, ProTools and Live. Cubase is probably the most Logic-like but considering the full-of-bugs reputation it has, I'd stay away from it. ProTools is great but you'll need dedicated hardware. That left us with the last but not the least: Live. Altough people think this is a loopy, djing kind-of-software, it's a pretty good DAW by itself, even if you're working in a more traditionnal, linear way. I used to do the bulk of my composition work with Logic and do the audio edition with ProTools. Now, the more I use Live, the more I don't use the other two anymore. And believe me, even if that asks you to think differently at the beginning, it gets very addictive!

Are cross-platform upgrades allowed?

I own a copy of Adobe CS3 for Windows. I have recently purchased a Mac, and need to get Adobe Creative Suite (preferably CS6) set up on it. Do I need to buy a completely new version of Creative Suite for the Mac, or can I buy a Mac upgrade version, and then use my serial code from CS3 Windows version to validate the upgrade version on my Mac? If I can do that, is it allowed to also buy an upgrade version of CS6 for Windows, and install that using the same CS3 license key to validate the upgrade version on Windows?

Yes ,it is possible to upgrade from cs3 to cs6 & that also cross platform, yes it should accept the windows previous version serial key , The Enter Serial Number Upgrade dialog box also accepts the Windows serial number{if not then contact Adobe support }.
The best option is to place the order through the adobe sales team

Can you still get a cross platform upgrade for CS3?

I'm a mac user and recently purchased CS3 Design Premium for windows used -- does anyone know you can still get a cross platform upgrade from windows to mac without upgrading to CS4?

I am very, very sorry to read that. My windows pc is just crashed because of a virus my payed anti-virus program could not deal with, and everything have to be cleared totally. (XP pro - browser used at the virus-time = Mozilla. Anti-virus program = The price winning PC-tools)
Have to start all over again from scratch.
Therefore I wanted to change to a new Mac machine for my CS3.
I know I could upgrade to CS4, but do not need the CS4 for the time being, so I have to stay with Windows.
Alle my other programs - Nikon - Topaz - Nik-software - Hemi. - Jason Odell - have been so very helpfull and trusted me and have send me new keys - THANK YOU, you have a lot of problems when this problem happens, so they removed some of the stones, , but not Adobe, they said by telephone (I also tryed a mail, but no answer), that I have to sit at the pc for installing and then try to call them by telephone to get help for autentification, and nobody can promise me it will be the same day.
Last time it took one and a half our to get through by telephone.
I really love your program (CS3 extended) ....... but not this.
