Displaying HTML Background's in JSP's

Can anyone help?
I have 2 JSP's, called via a servlet. All the code works fine and all I want to do is dislay a background picture. Both JSP's have the same layout, shown below.
<html>
<head><title>Football</title></head>
<body background="../Web%20graphics/grass_background.gif">
.....code.......
</body>
</html>
One of the JSP's displays the background fine and one doesn't. I have definitely made sure that I have re-compiled all code concerned and I have also stopped started both Tomcat and my browser just to make sure. Both JSP's are also in the same directory. Am I going mad. Help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Mitch

Do both have the same exact <body> tag to display the background? Also, are both JSPs in the same directory? If not, perhaps the relative URL doesn't apply to both?

How to display a pdf file in jsp

hi,
How to display a pdf file in jsp iam having a class which will return fileinputstream of the file object. the pdf file is in server.
regards
Arul

A JSP is a combo of HTML and Java, so you can't really "display" a PDF file in a JSP.
You can provider a href link to the PDF file in your JSP.
You can use some utility package to read the contents of the PDF, pull certain things out of it, and display that in your JSP as html
In a servlet you can set the content type to application/pdf and write the binary data of the PDF back to the browser. Once the browser finishes reading in the data it should open the PDF.

Displaying Korean Characters on my jsp

I would like to display korean characters in my jsp....the characters that i want to display are read from an xml file using the sax parser... how will i do this?

Case 1 - In a JSP only.
In a JSP you need to set the following and it will display your respective charset. Substitute xxx for your required character set.
<%response.setContentType="charset=xxx"%>.
Case 2 - In an XML file and JSP
If you have an XML file, be sure to define the encoding. Be sure to change the encoding to your Korean charset.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
You will the need to write an XSL which you can apply to your XML file using Xalan and output the resulting HTML in a JSP. I assume your user-agent will be a web browser, although you can use WML, cHTML and VoXML or even another XML file.

Can i display HTML

Can i make this code display HTML, and how?
Examples and comments please. i need help
Simpletext Java Applet.
Applet displays a text file from the web in a text area.
The Text Area is as large as the APPLET Width and Height commands.
There is no animation
It loads quickly
And provides information that can be provided quickly.
Utilizes the following Params
<PARAM NAME = "filename" Value = "URL">
<PARAM NAME = "fontname" Value = "Fontname">
<PARAM NAME = "fontsize" Value = "Fontsize">
This is very useful for placing on a page where you want to have information
added without having to touch the HTML in the page. It can also be placed into
a table.
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;

Well now we are getting somewhere.
Yes your right it is a copy and paste job, i needed
somewhere to start and found that and thought it was
good.
I have been coding PHP/MySQL/HTML for years now so i
think i am ready to learn java.
PHP! Ick!
i have been following the tutorials at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cup
ojava/index.html
and iv read up to:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/garb
agecollection.html
Well that's a good start.
The point of my applicvation:
To display realtime quotes (stock prices). or atleast
with 30 second updates.Ah-ha!
here is my PHP version:
http://www.fxdon.com/pgs/main_indices_frame.php
(which updates every 30 seconds)more Ah-ha!
>
and what i ment about security, is i didnt want to
"Hard-Code" SQL database details into this incase
someone somehow can decompile it.?This is a good reason. Also because then you don't have to open up the database to socket connections from anyone on the net.
I just thought it would be easier to have unix cron
update the database automatically and use php page to
fetch the updates and java to display it.
Also i cant make php page refresh automatically like
u can with java, i have to use some meta refresh
tags.Okay.
>
Am i on the wrong track?Yes.
What you need to do is basically implement a simple webservice. (This seems to be a popular topic today.)
The idea is that the data comes from your site through HTTP but it is not really a web page. It is some sort of data page.
Before I go further I am going to suggest something rather simple. A better model might use a webservice standard of some sort and return the data in an XML doc for example. You can read more about webservices in Java here http://java.sun.com/webservices/index.jsp
Now here is my example.
On the server have a php script like this.
<?php
/*I am assuming an open mysql connection here. Also that your GET
request variables are being parsed and are available for use*/
header("Content-type: text/plain");
if(!$sym){
echo "FAIL\nNO SYMBOL\n";
}else{
$rs = mysql_query("SELECT company,lastrade FROM stockprice WHERE symbol=".$sym);
if($row = mysql_fetch_row($rs)){
    echo "OK\n";
    echo $row[0]."\t";
    echo $row[1]."\t";
    echo "\n";
}else{
    echo "FAIL\nUNKNOWN SYMBOL\n";
?>Then when you want to get the data from the applet you put in the url like this..
www.mysite.com/mystockpriceservice.php?sym=AAA
And the content returned will be a text file.
The first line will say OK if everything worked or FAIL if it didn't. If it fails then the second line tells you why.
If it does work then the second line will be a tab delimited string of all the values.
Then you can do as you want in the applet to display that data. As a ticker or whatever.
Do you see where I am going with this?
Like I said this implementation is rather simplistic but the basic idea is there.

To display spanish characters on a JSP when the JSP is inside one portal

Hi All,
Previously, I had posted my query here that how to display spanish characters on a JSP screen.
I got a solution that to add
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
to the JSP and to save the JSP in 'UTF-8'encoding format.
This works well in case an individual JSP. But when I am adding the JSP to a web project consisting of many other JSP pages, its not working.
Do I have to change anything else.
Please help me if you have any suggestions. I am eagerly waiting for any response.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have a similar problem. I have jsp pages in braz. portugese and for these I have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">When I tried setting the contentType to UTF-8, the way you wrote foreign characters didn't get submitted properly from input fields so I took it away, then everything worked correctly. Don't know why though.

Edit HTML Background

I imagine this question has been asked many times in this forum, but I can't seem to locate any answers.
Is it possible to edit the HTML background with an image?
I know Captivate allows you to select the background color, but I don't see any options to upload images to display behind the elearning in the web page. I'm using Captivate 5 (and also have access to Captivate 3).
Thanks,
Victor C.

Hi there
Sorry, but there has never been any provision for adding images to the background of the HTML page produced by Captivate. If you desire to have this, you will need to use a tool like Adobe Dreamweaver or another HTML editor.
I would encourage you to suggest it to the development team. Use the Wish Form for this. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Disconnecting from external display changes background, disconnect server shares, inactivates desktop icons.

I have a user working on a MacBook Pro, Lion OS X 10.8.2, connected to an external display. When disconnecting from the external display the background picture changes, he can’t open documents saved to desktop, and the connection to the server shares is lost. Rebooting does not resolve the issue while it is disconnected from the external display. If he reconnects the MacBook back to the external monitor sometimes he has to reboot to get everything back to normal. It almost seems like it is logging him into a different account or profile or something like that (please excuse my messy terminology as most of our users are still using PCs). However if you look at what account is logged in, it is still the same account that he logged in with that morning. The Mac is not authenticating to the network, just connecting to server shares. Has anyone experienced this issue before and if so is there a fix for it?

The Mac has a long history of assuming that ANY adapter still present means the display is still present -- you need to remove the adapter as well as the cable, if present.
So my theory articulated above is that the disconnect is not registered correctly. This would mean that the second display is still seen as present. You could check this by invoking:
System Preferences > Displays ...
and looking for the Arrange pane (shown above) which is ONLY present when multiple displays are attached. More detailed information can be found in About this Mac > ( More info ) Graphics & Displays ...
... specifically the NAME of each attached display is shown or an indication (no display connected):

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

Display pop ups in the jsp by using Java script

Hi
can any body say ,how to display pop ups in the jsp by using Java script ?

that's correct. You can use the below code for AJAX request.
<script type="text/javascript">
var httpObject = getHTTPObject();
//create XMLHttpRequest object
function getHTTPObject() {
     var xmlhttp;
     if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
          xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
     else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // if IE
          try {
               xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
          catch ( e ){
               try{
                    xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
               catch ( e ){}
     return xmlhttp;
//define the function to send the request
function sendRequest(){
    var currDesc = document.getElementById("description").value;
    var URL = "manageMaintAction.do"; //action mapping in your struts-config
    var queryString = "currDesc="+escape(currDesc); //get the currDesc value in your action class like request.getParameter("currDesc")
    httpObject.open( "Post", URL, true );
    httpObject.onreadystatechange = cbFn;
    httpObject.setRequestHeader( "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    httpObject.send(queryString);
//callback fn
function cbFn() {
    if (httpObject.readyState == 4)
         if (httpObject.status == 200)
          var result = httpObject.responseText;
          alert(result);
</script>

How to display HTML response file in user's browser following submission of Livecycle form

I have a PDF form created via Livecycle that does a HTTP submit to the webserver. The server returns a HTML 'submission receipt' page which is either opened in Acrobat or the user's web browser.
Previously this process worked fine when submitting from adobe reader - the html receipt file would always automatically open OK in the user's browser. However, with newer versions of Reader (11.0.0+) I now get this error and no attempt to open the user's web browser:
An error occurred during the submit process. Cannot process content of type text/html
I realise why I get the error - Adobe reader can't display HTML files.
What I don't understand is why it doesn't open the html file in the user's browser like it has been doing for years.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this (without changing the response content type to PDF/FDF)?

I had the same issue as you and we used FDF status, then eventually went with returning an XDP that filled out a receipt section of the form.

How to display HTML file (on server path) to ADF jspx page ?

Hi Team,
We have a requirement to display HTML content which is in tabular format on a page. This page is jspx page based on page template and this html has to be shown on a radio button select. I am trying to do this with Jquery but since the id of all components in jspx comes as pt1:id (pt1 being the id of page template) and : being a special character in Jquery, I am not able to proceed further.
the syntax of Jquery to load html file a POC has been done outside Jdeveloper is working fine with a general syntax of
$("#selector".load("html path"));
Please let me know is they any other solution to load the file?
Thanks
Pavan

For example
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"readMe" ofType:@"html"]];
    [infoWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:fileURL]];
and from the .h
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWebView *infoWebView;

How to display HTML file from Unix server on UI at runtime

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to display HTML files, related to some particular person, on UI. The file is existing on a separate UNIX server and a file related to one person may have a lot of attached files as well , as is the case generally with HTML files, including pictures etc. So it is no use transferring file on my CRM system, as the files are kept separately on this UNIX server which is particularly for this kind of storage.
I am able to show files residing on MIME repository ( I created some new HTML files ) of my CRM system on UI. but I don't know how to go ahead with this particular requirement.
One idea is that I can map one folder of my application server to that unix server so that I can see the HTML files in this particular folder. but I don't know how to map MIME repository folder to application server directory or directly to the UNIX server .
Please advise. Is my approach correct or is there any other way ?
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vikas

Maybe this is too simple, but have you got an HTTP server on the UNIX machine? You could simply link the URL into you CRM application and display the contents directly from UNIX.
cheers Carsten

HTML Comments in a JSP Document

I am writing a JSP Document that has a number of comments. Some I want to be server-side such as version history and some I want to be client-side.
Using a JSP page this is easily achieved using JSP comments <%-- JSP comment for server-side --%> and HTML Comments.
Using XML syntax a number of things are apparent:
1. There is no XML equivalent of a JSP comment (this has been well doc'd for a long time).
2. In the Java EE tutorials the recommended alternative to a JSP coomment is a HTML comment.
3. Using HTML comments in a JSP document the web container omits these in the page output - and so they are server-side only just like a JSP comment.
Code Snippet:
<template xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" version="1.2">

</template>

So, my question is how do I generate a client-side comment in a JSP Document?
Thanks

I found this ....
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2003/jw-0725-morejsp.html
One significant disadvantage of JSP documents is that no XML-compliant version of JSP comments exists. A JSP document developer can use client-side (HTML-/XML-style) comments or embed Java comments in scriptlets, but there is no JSP document equivalent to <%-- -->. This is a disadvantage because the other two commenting styles JSP documents can use have their own drawbacks. You can see the client-side comments in the rendered page using the browser's View Source option. The Java comments in scriptlets require placing Java code directly in the JSP document.
So try to embed the HTML comment inside scriptlet tags...
