Embedded google docs

I've got a strange one. A school I work at uses a Content Management System for their website, class webpages, child / parent forums etc - you can see the site here - http://stpatkai.ultranet.school.nz/Home/
I don't have a lot to do with it but the teachers are having a lot of trouble with embedded Google docs and other embedded secure sites. The teachers create a survey or similar using Google Docs. They then embed these on the class webpage on the CMS for the students to click on and respond to.
The laptops they are using have Snow Leopard patched up to the latest version with two accounts - Admin with full rights and a Student account which has Parental Controls implemented but with everything except System Preferences enabled to be open and the Dock locked. If the students are working in the Student account, the Google Docs page will not load, and under Safari, Activity shows an error message that starts - 'An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to docs.google.com can't be made'
If you go into the class webpage under the Admin account, all is fine.
Obviously I don't want the children working in the Admin account - they've stuffed up enough already, but I can't find anywhere to enable the secure connection to google.docs
The stupid thing is that if they use some old eMacs running Tiger, the children have no problems accessing the google docs in the Student account but it doesn't load under Snow Leopard???
Any thoughts gratefully received.

See
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2900>
The problem is Parental Control's Internet content filter. It blocks all https requests:
https note: For websites that use SSL encryption (the URL will usually begin with https), the Internet content filter is unable to examine the encrypted content of the page. For this reason, encrypted websites must be explicitly allowed using the Always Allow list. Encrypted websites that are not on the Always Allow list will be blocked by the automatic Internet content filter.
You need to set it up explicitly to allow it, as described in the Apple KB doc I quoted.

  • My google site (web page) not displaying embedded google docs on ioS5

    I have a google site that is used to share information for team parents of HS sports team.  We utilize a google doc on Home page for Quick Announcements--such as last minute changes. The document is shared and public to all.  It works great on Chrome, Firefox and IE but the embeded google doc does not display on Apple products. Other tabbed pages that have spreadsheets that are public and shared to all show up just fine. What is going on???

  • How do you plot a path using a .kml file in an embedded google earth in Labview?

    Over the last few days I have been reading all the google earth and lv postings that I can find and I have downloaded a variety of vis and examples that people have posted. I haven't been able to find or figure out a way to display a .kml file that I am creating based on a path of lat and long values in an embedded google earth map in labview.  I was hoping to have the user select a portion of the path on a x,y lv graph and then use those cursor coordinates to create a kml file of the lat and long values of that selected path (I have already completed this portion of the code) and display that alongside in a google earth map.  All the examples I have found show how to display a point in the embedded GE map - does anyone know how to display a number of points along a path?
    Thanks so much!

  • Creating a cfhttp multi part form post for google docs upload

    Hey all,
    If you saw my last thread, you know I am working with google docs and uploading documents to it. Well I got basic document uploading working, but now I am trying to include meta data. Google requires you to include the metadata with the actual file data and seperate them by using a multi part form upload. I don't know exactly the process for doing so, but they have a handy code snippet of the desired results at
    http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#UploadingDoc s
    So I am basically trying to mimic that payload, however I am continually getting an error stating that there are no parts in a multi part form upload.
    <errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'><error><domain>GData</domain><code>InvalidEntryException</code><internalReason>No parts detected in multipart message</internalReason></error></errors>
    to be exact. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here. I figure it is one of two things, either I am not including the actual data in the payload properly (I am currently using a body type param for the payload, but I have also tried a formfield named content to deliver it. Neither worked). So maybe I need to do something else tricky there? The other thing which I am not reallly sure about is the content-length attribute. I don't know exactly how to calculate that, and I read in another forum that a content length attribute was messing that guy up. Right now I am just taking the lenght of the payload string and multiplying by 8 (to get the number of bytes for the entire payload) but hell if I know if that is right. It could be I just don't know how to set up the parts for the message, it seems pretty straight forward though. Just define a boundary in the content-type, then put two dashes before it wherever you define a new part, and two dashes trailing the last part.
    Anyway, here is my code, any help is much appreciate. I'm a bit beyond my expertise here (not really used to trying to have to roll my own http requests, nevermind multipart post form data) so I'm kinda flailing around. Thanks again.

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening pdfs in Google Docs?

    Whenever I want to look at or download a webspage which is a Microsoft Word or a pdf document, I am automatically sent to Google Docs to view it. Mayvbe bexcauuse of my satellite connection, I cthen have huge problems in downloading these webpages. How can I disconnect Firefox from automatically opening these pages in Google Docs?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, these settings are exactly the same on my troublesome PC as they are on my laptop which does not have this problem. The PC is Windows 7, and laptop is XP. I have in the past used the PC to access google documents.

  • Most full featured word processor? (table editing, google docs) and webdav on the ipad

    Hi All,
    So I have had a frustrating time trying to add rows to a table in a word processing document on Google Docs. Are there any word processors that support this? Quickoffice and Documents to Go do not as of this writing. (May 26th, 2011.) at least not that I can determine.
    Does Office2HD support this feature? Do any of the word processors?
    My current thoughts/what Apple needs to do/
    Currently I am thinking about buying Pages and then using Goodreader to open the file in pages, and then saving the pages document to idisk/webdav and then moving it to google docs from idisk/webdav using Goodreader (though it appears you can use Readdledocs too.)
    According to the makers of Docsportal, if Pages supported Open With, I could Open With Docsportal and it would be uploaded. Alternatively, Docsportal could simply add idisk or webdav support, but I can understand why they are waiting for Apple to get their act together.
    Currently, I have discovered that Quickoffice does support mounting quickoffice as a drive as does goodreader. Docs2Go does not support this feature. This is a nice way to get files in and out. The Mac will support WebDAV for the Mac filesystem as of Lion allowing programs like goodreader or readdledocs to connect to it.
    --Sam

    I viewed the Office2HD Help file and it seems to support table creation.
    http://www.bytesquared.com/products/office/ipad/basic.asp?product=office2pro#ins ert_table
    I will post back once I am able to edit a table.
    Office2HD as mentioned elsewhere in this forum supports Google Docs.
    It does also support WebDAV (mounting as an external drive.) The help file mentions that it now allows you to navigate using the cursor or arrow keys.

  • Firefox does not load embedded google calendar month view (2014)

    Recently (first complaint today), all of our embedded google calendars on our site stopped loading in Firefox browsers. Specifically, it is the month view. The calendar actually loads and the contents can be seen on agenda and week views. However, Month view remains empty (A google calendar framework appears complete with the tools that might normally be there[month selection, print, view tabs] but the expected calendar is not there, so it is quite short).
    We have 3 online google calendars that are injected with the <object data> call. All three work in Chrome and Safari as they are designed to work. This is only effecting Firefox (have not tested IE). I reset firefox, and started it in safe mode. I also downloaded and ran Firefox 33,32,30,28, and 15. It effects them all.
    So far I have only tested this on a Mac with Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
    Let me know if you have any suggestions or if there is more information you may need.
    thanks

    Thanks for the response. I do have data defined. However, type is not. The specs don't seem to make it necessary to specify both, but if that helps I can. The webconsole shows one error:
    Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead. That is an error in the jquery javascript code though.
    Firebug doesn't show anything in its console.
    I used iframe and the behavior is exactly sthe same. I'm beginning to think this is a google calendaring issue instead.
    Thanks again.

  • Uploading exported Excel file to Google Docs

    I exported a spreadsheet as an Excel .xls file, but Google won't let me upload it giving me an error:
    We're sorry, but we were unable to upload this document.
    If you have the desktop word processor installed on this computer, there are two other easy ways to bring the file into Google Docs:
    Using the Clipboard
    Open the document in the desktop word processor.
    Type ⌘-A to select the contents of the entire document.
    Type ⌘-C to copy it to the clipboard.
    In Google Docs, create a new document.
    When the Edit window appears, type ⌘-V to paste it in.
    Save as HTML
    Open the document in the desktop word processor.
    Choose File > Save As...
    In the dialog that appears, select Web Page (*.htm; *.html) for the "Save as type."
    Save the file, and make a note of the file name and folder, as you'll need it next.
    In Google Docs, choose Upload again from the main page.
    This time, specify the html file you just made in the desktop word processor.
    Using either of these approaches, you should now have the document open in Google Docs.

    Anyone else have this problem?
    It seems Google doesn't like the Excel version that Numbers exports. The file will open fine in Excel and if I re-save it from Excel it will upload no problem to Google Docs.

  • HP LaserJet Professional CM1415fnw - eStorage print apps - Google Docs

    Hello HP,
    Why there are only 10 apps available for my CM1415 multifunction printer. I would like to have eStorage app to work; Google docs or box.net and why not other apps like facebook too. The CM1415 has a beautiful 3" color touch screen but it has no use for this purpose -->why?. These apps are available to cheaper printer models too.
    Google Docs app error message is "Not Available for this Printer" Is it coming to this printer in future?
    BR,
    Jarno

    Hello,
    Thanks for the reply but you didn't answer to my question. I know how to change those apps, but the problem is not in that. The problem is that I bought the multifunction network machine so I could scan my documents to the internet but now I found out that it is not possible with my CM1415fnw multifunction network printer. It is sad, but cheaper Samsung and Canon can scan to at least network drive (and usb of course).
    I found out that HP Finland doesn't know printers that are suitable to eStorage. So they cant help me. Who knows then if HP even doesn't know. Actually HP support first gave me instructions how to get it work but after few times double checks they said "sorry, no can do". I am not quite satisfied.
    I have these very "handy" apps;
    Web Sudoku
    WeatherNews
    DreamWorks...
    Disney
    HP Quick Forms
    Google Calendar (why this works?)
    Yahoo!
    and F24 (news service in English, France and some other unknown language)
    There are some other apps too  that I would like to have and I am confused that this price range multifunction machine (350-400 dollars) I cant have all the apps available.

  • Excel Documents in Google Docs Doesn't Work on FF 4.0

    I just did my recent updates of Firefox and now I cannot open any of my google doc excel files or even create a new one. I keep getting an error message that says "A browser error has occurred.
    Please hold the Shift key and click the Refresh button to try again." Of course this does nothing and then I have to leave a move to a different browser to open my documents.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I clear cookies and cache all the time and I've done it a few times regarding this problem as well, and I've also already tried disabling hardware acceleration. Now I tried starting Firefox in safe mode, restored defaults, disabled plugins one by one and updated the outdated ones but it didn't help. The problem's still the same.
    It's not a major issue b/c simply minimizing and restoring fixes it but it's kinda odd anyway since there was no problem with earlier versions of Firefox and it occurs on every machine I've tried it with.
    The ebank utilizes Java so clearly I couldn't test disabling Java plugins, but I've reinstalled Java, cleared its temporary files and removed certificates and all that doesn't help. Could it still have something to do with Java?

  • Safari 5.1.5 not working with Google Docs

    In a Google text doc, there is a problem with line spacing such that all the lines in the doc are stacked up on the first line making it unreadable and unusable. I've had this problem with the last few releases of Safari but the problem has just become worse.
    If I click anywhere in the body of the doc I get:
         Google Docs error
         This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible.
         Please try one of these interim solutions:
    Reload this page.
    Download the document by right-clicking on it in the main document list and selecting "Export."
    I'm running Safari in 64-bit so that's not the problem and switching back to 32-bit doesn't fix it.
    I can view the original format of the doc with proper line spacing by selecing File > See original, but can't edit the doc at all.
    Anybody come across a solution or work-around for this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Try another browser, such as Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox.

  • Why are my jpegs or tiffs blurry when I view Pages with Quick Look or in Google Docs?

    Hi,
    I exported high-res images from Photoshop that I used at a much reduced size in a Pages document (it's a jpeg of my signature). While editing the document in Pages, the image looks very clear. However, in Quick View mode the image is blurry. It is also blurry if I import the document to Google Docs. Does anyone understand why this might be?
    Thanks

    I know what you mean, but I resized it by making it smaller, so the resolutions should have been more than fine. Don't you think? If I had dragged it into Pages and then enlarged the image I would understand it getting blurry but not the other way around. Also, it looks totally fine in Pages. It only looks bad when I view the document in Quick Look or upload it to Google Drive.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 will not open Google Docs on MAC OSX 10.6.6. This is extremely irritating. Is this Apples way of persuading us to use Safari?

    When I try to use '''Google Docs''' I get:
    ''Sorry, but this browser does not support web word-processing.
    Please see our system requirements page for a list of supported browsers. ''
    Another problem is that I can't open web links from '''Tweetdeck'''. Then I get the message:
    ''"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."''
    I can't use Firefox any more if this continues.

    I can't even force quit Firefox. I'm running MAC OSX10.4.11. Can't shut down computer without hard turn off on back of MAC. When I turn on again, the same frozen Firefox is on the screen. Can't escape this junk. This has happened so often that I may never use Firefox again IF I CAN EVER QUIT out of it.
