How can I open a link to an xml document with a specific helper application?

I have an html file with links to multiple xml files. When I click on one of these links, I would like Firefox to use an application of my choosing (e.g., Xmetal) to open the xml file. It works great with sgml files, because I was able to associate the "sgml" content with my external application. I can't seem to make the same thing happen for xml files, though.

Many people on this thread have a common problem, how to download documents that have a .XML extension and then be able to view/edit them in Word. The issue is that Firefox does not treat a file it receives with a .XML extension as a download candidate, it just displays the XML in a tree structure in a popup window or a new tab. If there was an option to automatically (by configuration) open a .XML file in Word or even if it was a manual select option, that would solve the problem. Today you have to go through the process of saving the page, then when the popup down window indicates is completed, you use the right mouse to select open, when then takes you to Word (assuming Word is configured in your OS to process .XML files. This process is difficult to teach to non technical people because it error prone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I open and listen to the PDF documents with audio in my iPad?

You need to use a PDF reader that supports multimedia. Adobe Reader 10.3 does not. Adobe has not stated whether it will support multimedia in the future.
In the meantime, you could buy an application that does like PDF Expert. Read about it here:

HT2506 How can I insert a link within a PDF document with preview.app in Mavericks

Would like to create a selfmade table of contents that links to the right place in the pdf document
Thanks for the support!

Preview is not really a PDF editor. You can do basic stuff such as add annotations, insert pages, but you cannot add hyperlinks.

In your af:tree nodeStamp facet you have access to the node (TreeItem in your case). If your TreeItem has a getter method for the url (you did not provide the TreeItem code) you can put an af:goLink in the nodeStamp and set the destination attribute to #{node.url} and set the TargetFrame of the golink to '_blank':
<af:tree ...>
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:goLink text="goLink 1" id="gl3" destination="#{node.url}" targetFrame="_blank"/>Timo

How can I use Drupal as a third party CMS with ATG E-Commerce Application?

Hi Friends,
We are planning to use a third party Freeware Content Management System (CMS) for web site content in ATG E-Commerce Application, instead of ATG content Administration or merchandising.
Can anybody please let me know how can I use a third party CMS(Eg: Drupal) with ATG E-Commerce Application?
Regards,
Krishna.

I did create a rule to determine if anyone coming through time eval is a new hire based on vacation elig. date in IT0041. It compares Today to the vacation elig. date and if they match, set a time type indicator to 1. I also added another decision to determine if they were a part time employee and pro-rate their quota entitlement based on what's in their IT0007 weekly working hours. Instead of setting the time type indicator to 1, I recalculated based on a percentage of 40 hrs/wk and then updated the time type to that percentage. In my quota generation rule I use that time type as a multiplication factor to recalculate their new pro-rated amount rounded up to the nearest whole number.

How can I open my old Apple Works 6 documents now that I have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (pages '09)

I have a lot of Apple Works 6 documents that I can not open now that I Have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (Pages'09). How can I open and convert those documents. I really need those documents.

Pages '09 (4.1) should have no problem opening your AW6 word processing documents.
You can open an AW6 wp file in Pages by -
• Do a Get Info on the AW6 file, then choose Pages from the Open With pulldown menu. Close the Get Info window, then double-click the AW6 file. If you want to do this to all of them, befoe closing the Get Info window click the "Change all" button just under the previous pulldown menu.
• Start up Pages, use the Open item in the File menu to navigate to and open the AW6 file.
• Drop the AW6 file onto the icon for Pages.

I am running 3.6.12 and my new tab and/or window actions are the same. How can i open new links within apps into new tabs?

I used to be able to control new tab actions such as opening on top of current tab or in a new tab. This is frustrating as i always cover up where I am or was! How can this be corrected so I can open a new tab in a new tab? I am enrolled in an on-line class and can not open tabs in a new tab as needed as it always places the new tab on top of teh current or old tab.
Funny as i use to complain about opening in new windows!
I am missing how to control new tabs and new window actions?
THanks,
William

Do you have any tab related extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that allow to divert links?<br />

How can i open a link in new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the new window

I want to open a new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the newly opened window. The focus should remain on the window from where i have opened the link.

You can do that with tabs, but not with windows AFAIK.

Setting is open new windows in new tab. How/can I open new link in a new tab automatically.

When I go to open a link within a tab, it overrides what is there and opens.
I would lik the option of opening a link from within a tab or the menu bar, into a new tab.
I cant find that option, the only one being opening a new windows in a new tab
Can you help?
Thanks

You can middle-click a link or the Go button on the location bar to open the link in a new tab.<br />
You can also use Alt + Enter to open a link in the location bar in a new tab.

How can i open the link given in firstfacet of panelsplitter in secondfacet

Hi
i am using the jdeveloper 11g.i am developing oracle forms using ADF 11.
I want to create the page as described below.
in the First facet of panel splitter i am going to give some links.(using golink componenet.)
when i clicked onthe link my page should open in the second facet of panel splitter.
what is the way to get this.
If any one know pls help me.
i appreciated your help and time
Sailaja.

You can develop the various pages as bounded task flows.
Then in the master page you can create a dynamic region section in the second facet - and populate it based on the link that is clicked in the first facet.
And you can use dynamic region links to create the links in the first facet.

How can I open a URL from a Custom Button in a second help window?

I have a custom button, which currently opens a URL in a web
browser, using a redirect page. How can I change this so that it
opens in a second help window instead? If I understand some of the
posts I've read, it is possible by linking the button to a related
topics function but I've no idea how this is done.
As usual, your help is most appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi, ecoulyn,
You need to make a topic file like the one below the target
of the Jump button.
The onLoad function on the Body start-tag causes the Related
Topics command to fire when the topic file is loaded in the topic
pane. When specifying the file name of the topic to display in the
secondary window, you must always prepend it with the name of your
.chm file, followed by "::/". Otherwise, an error message appears
when the Jump button is clicked.

How can i open the "Convert to Indexed Color" dialog with custom presets?

Hi,
I need to automatically open the "Convert to Indexed Colors" dialog in Photoshop. Before and after that i have some scripts running so its not possible to open the dialog manually. Also i want to set some custom presets (like number of colors etc.).
Found something similar to what i want for the Color Range selection (opens the dialog with the presets you put in):
function colorrange(enabled, withDialog, fuzziness) {
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
      return;
    var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc1.putInteger(app.charIDToTypeID('Fzns'),fuzziness);
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc2.putDouble(app.charIDToTypeID('Lmnc'), 31.22);
    desc2.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("a"), 0.86);
    desc2.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("b"), 0.31);
    desc1.putObject(app.charIDToTypeID('Mnm '), app.charIDToTypeID('LbCl'), desc2);
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc3.putDouble(app.charIDToTypeID('Lmnc'), 95.34);
    desc3.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("a"), 54.59);
    desc3.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("b"), 49.85);
    desc1.putObject(app.charIDToTypeID('Mxm '), app.charIDToTypeID('LbCl'), desc3);
    desc1.putInteger(app.stringIDToTypeID("colorModel"), 0);
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc4 = executeAction(app.stringIDToTypeID('colorRange'), desc1, dialogMode);
How can i achieve the same for the indexed color conversion dialog? Apart from doing a lot of guessing regarding the stringIDs.
Is there some kind of "lookup table" for char and string IDs?
Thank you guys in advance! This forum has been a great help many times.

Ok never mind i got it, stupid me.
Recorded it with Script Listener and changed the "DialogMode" parameter of the executeAction function from "DialogModes.No" to "DialogModes.All".
var idCnvM = charIDToTypeID( "CnvM" );
            var desc249 = new ActionDescriptor();
            var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T " );
                var desc250 = new ActionDescriptor();
                var idPlt = charIDToTypeID( "Plt " );
                var idClrP = charIDToTypeID( "ClrP" );
                var idSele = charIDToTypeID( "Sele" );
                desc250.putEnumerated( idPlt, idClrP, idSele );
                var idClrs = charIDToTypeID( "Clrs" );
                desc250.putInteger( idClrs, 4 );
                var idFrcC = charIDToTypeID( "FrcC" );
                var idFrcC = charIDToTypeID( "FrcC" );
                var idNone = charIDToTypeID( "None" );
                desc250.putEnumerated( idFrcC, idFrcC, idNone );
                var idTrns = charIDToTypeID( "Trns" );
                desc250.putBoolean( idTrns, false );
                var idDthr = charIDToTypeID( "Dthr" );
                var idDthr = charIDToTypeID( "Dthr" );
                var idDfsn = charIDToTypeID( "Dfsn" );
                desc250.putEnumerated( idDthr, idDthr, idDfsn );
                var idDthA = charIDToTypeID( "DthA" );
                desc250.putInteger( idDthA, 75 );
            var idIndC = charIDToTypeID( "IndC" );
            desc249.putObject( idT, idIndC, desc250 );
        executeAction( idCnvM, desc249, DialogModes.ALL ); //Change from NO to ALL

How can I print commentaries made to a pdf-document with Adobe reader ?

My message and question is contained in the header of this message.
I am receiving occasionally PDF- documents as an attachement to an email for examination. I can attach comments to special parts of the document, which are indicated by tags in the document and in a list at the side of that document.
I may return the document with my remarks to the sender.
The Problem is: When he wants to print out the document, he will print the tags, but not the content of my comments.
Is there a way to print the comments also or the list of may comments?
Thank for your help.
