Embedding html

In my app I want to have live images of websites used as thumbnails. How I've achieved this so far is:-
- Created several html components pointing to different websites and made them non visible so they don't show up in the app.
- I've then created a function which effectively creates a snapshot of the content of each of these html components and puts these snapshots into image components (so their content can be scaled to small thumbnail sizes which html components content can't be) creating a live image thumbnail gallery of websites.
- This function is activated upon the click of a button.
The problem I have is the html components take a good few seconds/minutes to load their content and I have 10 of them and will need about 50 in my final app so obviously the snapshots that my function takes of many of the html components will be blank if the html components content has not yet loaded resulting in a thumbnail image gallery of many blank images.
Is there any way to embed html components in an app so that the app will not load until all of these html components have had their content fully loaded?
I've tried many different solutions for this problem and this seems like the simplest one but this seems like a big snag. I never realised getting live images of websites into a flex/air app would be so tough

Yep that would be a good idea but I have no experience of using server side technologies in conjunction with flex. I wouldn't have any idea where to even start, coding wise when trying to get those images on the server as you say. Plus it is an adobe air desktop application that I'm making.
It would be useful to have the screenshots of sites update themself once a week but I can't see how this could be achieved automatically as it may be a bit beyond me. Would this require php etc?
The application that I'm making is one for my university course for an outside company as a work experience type of thing so I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to flex and server side tech in general. The purpose of the app is to basically act as an interactive favourites menu of websites that also allows users to view their twitter feeds and link to the internet from these links of live images. So basically it has internet elements coming into it and links to webpages but it is desktop based as when it's completed it needs to be installed on a new tv product that the company I'm working for produces which will allow users to switch between a computer and tv. So it's basically gonna be put on a pc/tv product. I hope this makes sense. Just trying to give you an idea of what I'm after.
This means that it has to be pretty much standalone once it's realeased meaning I wont be able to update it myself etc.

  • Web Intelligence: Save Report as PDF and with embedded HTML code

    Hi all.
    Sorry but I'm not able to find any post about this matter, please feel free to provide links if you know existing topics about this problem.
    We created a beautiful report with HTML5 code embedded into a blank cell and we are now trying to export it in a printable format (e.g.: PDF or HTML).
    As you know (as per manual information) it is not possible to export a report with embedded HTML code and keeping it in the output (cell with embedded HTML code is rendered blank).
    My question is: is there a known workaround or an alternative solution to export the report and keep its content?
    Print screen is not a valid option :-P
    Thanks for the support or any suggestions
    Stecas

    Product limitation; vote for change on ideaplace, etc. I don't believe there is an *easy* workaround, but see:

  • Embedding html in .java file comments

    for years now the convention has been to liberally use html in java source code comments
    to beautify javadocs. for example, i have taken this out of the source code for java.lang.System:
    * The <code>System</code> class contains several useful class fields
    * and methods. It cannot be instantiated.
    * <p>
    * Among the facilities provided by the <code>System</code> class
    * are standard input, standard output, and error output streams;
    * access to externally defined "properties"; a means of
    * loading files and libraries; and a utility method for quickly
    * copying a portion of an array.
    * @author Arthur van Hoff
    * @version 1.125, 12/03/01
    * @since JDK1.0
    the problem i see with this is that the tags must be stripped if one is producing
    documentation in formats other than html (swing doclet, or pdf doclet, or any
    application of xml).
    aren't we forever tying ourselves to html? is there any intention on the part of
    j2se/j2ee developers to discontinue this practice? i've begun working on a xul
    doclet and am having to enclose the documentation in cdata to maintain the
    validity of the document i produce (i could also just strip out the tags of course).
    thanks, eitan

    Hi Eitan,
    I see little problem as long we provide a way to
    parse whatever format is being used.
    Please take a look at the commentdom package in
    the "Doclet Refactoring Design" under "What's New"
    on the right side of the Javadoc home page:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/
    Here's its description:
    com.sun.tools.doclet.toolkit.util.commentdom
    DocComment to DOM Translator - Documentation comment contains embedded HTML,
    Javadoc inline tags as well as custom inline tags. This package will contain classes that will help
    generate a DOM tree for the documentation comment. This can be of great help for doclets that
    generate documentation in formats other than HTML. Such doclets don?t have to undergo the
    tedious task of parsing the documentation comments for all the tags. Doclets can then directly
    traverse the DOM tree and then convert the tags to appropriate format.
    The DOM tree will adhere to the doccomment DTD that will be published later. The DTD will
    allow required HTML tags along with their attributes as defined in HTML4.0 specifications. The
    DTD will also support Javadoc-defined inline tags as well as user-defined custom inline tags.
    We plan for the doclet toolkit other than this part to be in Tiger;
    we haven't committed dates to delivering this piece, but feel it
    would be an important part of the toolkit.

    Hello,
    Please refer to the link below on embedding HTML in Muse.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/topics/embedding-html.html
    If you are willing to insert certain code in Body then you can use Object > Insert HTML.
    If you want to put the code in head then you need to go to the page and go to Page > Page Properties > Metadata > HTMl for <head> > Paste the code.
    For more options you can refer to the link above.

  • Embedding HTML in XML CDATA and encoding issues

    Hi all,
    I'm embedding HTML code in a CDATA section. My problem is that, depending on the document, the HTML can be encoded in many formats. I borrowed a piece of code that sniffs that format so i can create String in the "right" encoding (or at least the one that was guessed).
    - If I directly injected those in the CDATA section, i guess they'd be encoded in UTF-8 and some character would be misinterpreted?
    - What if i would transcode the HTML from the sniffed format to utf-8?
    -Are there any issues woth doing this?
    Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm quite new to that kind of encoding issues.
    BTW i'm using DOM.
    Thanks
    lexo

    I don't know if it's a dumb question. I just don't understand it at all. Encoding issues only arise when you write data from a Java program to an external location, or when you read data from an external location into a Java program. And none of the activities you mentioned there have anything to do with that.
    When you write your XML to an external file, or wherever you write it to, it gets encoded at that moment. The whole thing. Elements, attributes, CDATA sections, the whole thing. Doesn't matter what's in it, the whole thing gets encoded in whatever charset was chosen.
    Does that help?

  • Designing Embedded HTML Page with iWeb

    I designed a html page with with an embedded html page within it. It all looks fine in iWeb, but when I upload the page to the intenet and I try to view this page it does not come up properly. Although I initially see the page come up as I designed it (for a fraction of a second) it then disapears and I only see the page I embedded on my page.

    Can someone please help with this. Thanks, Padano

    This is the proper code :

    You can also use this :

  • Emails with Embedded HTML not coming thru to Mail

    Hi,
    I am running 10.4.10, and I email out a newsletter with Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 so that I can embed an HTML file into it. For 2 days, I have been testing it by emailing to myself from my ISP address to my .mac address, and also to my 3 email addresses that I have thru my ISP (pop account).
    For some reason, the email never arrives in my .Mac box, but it arrives immediately in my 3 pop account boxes and views perfectly. I have used the same security settings since I can remember. I receive iTunes news in my /Mac box (which is embedded HTML right?)
    Why doesn't the email go thru to my .Mac address? I have done this almost monthly for 2 years and have had no problem up til now.
    When I log onto my \Mac web mail, the email is not there either.
    I called my ISP tech support yesterday and the nice guy tried to help, but he wasn't sure how long Apple takes to scan emails containing HTML's. He seemed to think the email could still be enroute but I sent about 14 last night and they astill haven't arrived.
    thanks

    Could Apple have recently increased its security to block unwanted SPAM, and now my computer thinks this email is SPAM?

  • Using onFocus method with embedded html

    Hi,
    I have embedded html in a servlet. I am using a text field to call the onFocus method with the following code:
    out.println("<input type='text' name='name' value='0' onFocus='if(this.value=='0')this.value=';'>");
    If I was using straight html with no servlet this works fine. When the user clicks on the field the default value is automatically erased.
    Why will this not work in a servlet?
    I have also tried calling a javascript function. Please note that I successfully use javascript with input type 'button' to render a pop up window with dimensions. So my javascript inside a servlet works elsewhere.
    Thanks VERY MUCH for your time
    Rick

    I don't think it's the same as I'm doing. Essentially, I have a JEditorPane subclass, which just has a few custom tags in it. I don't need them to be recognized by java, since it will be uneditable, but I just need to know how to convert from the getText() locations to the actual displayed text locations.
    Also, when I set the text as text/html, it creates a bunch of extra HTML tags, so it's larger than the original String used to create it.

  • Embedded HTML is moving my rectangles

    Hello all,
    I'm embedding HTML (a Business Catalyst module) into my site and it moves down my two side rectangles.  I don't understand why because there's plenty of room.  I tried moving the rectangles (they're on a master page) backward, moving them to a separate layer, as well as moving the embedded HTML on the page they're on to a separate layer but nothing has helped.  Can someone please help me with this?
    I provided a link below.
    http://thecoffeebean.businesscatalyst.com/africa

    Yep, that's what I thought I'd see. The height of the box containing the HTML embed in Design view is important. It sets the minimum size of the output "div" and it also establishes the distance you'd like to have maintained between the item and what's below it. Thus in this case bottom of your HTML embed will remain above the top of the left side bar and when the HTML item ends up being much bigger on the live page everything will shift down.
    To fix this resize the HTML embed object in Muse Design view tall enough to contain a typical item from the module tag.

  • HTML email is saved, the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED property does not contain embedded HTML

    Hi
    When HTML email is saved, the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED property does not contain embedded HTML.
    This causes that Outlook does not open saved message as HTML message.
    When MAPI profile is configured with CACHE mode ON, the PR_RTF_PROPERTY contains embedded HTML
    and Outlook opens saved email correctly as HTML.
    Do you have any idea what can cause such behavior or how to configure MAPI profile to save embedded HTML into PR_RTF_COMPRESSED when CACHE mode is OFF?  If you need more information let me know.

  • How to insert CSS styling to embedded HTML from a Wufoo form?

    I have embedded HTML code form a Wufoo form but none of the CSS styling followed. Does anyone know how to link the style sheet? I have tried to upload through the hosting server directly but nothing changed. Am I missing a step?
    Thanks a bunch for your thoughts!!!

    No experience with them, but I would assume they hold all the good stuff on their server since for obvious reasons they want you to use their services. They mention download options for their CSS files, though, so maybe you missed that option or as (bad) luck would have it chose a template that doesn't allow this.
