How to execute a APEX process on click of link from a email message

I have a download procedure which will ask user wheather to save or open a file. This procedure uses standard "owa_util.mime_header","htp.p('Content-length" commands do do this. The procedure works fine. I'm sending a mail to user where this procedure is link to save or open a file. But for security reasons, I don't want to embed this procedure in the email, instead I want to redirect to APEX page. In the APEX page, I have put the procedure code in "onSubmit" process and it workd fine on clink of button. But I want to execute this process "Onload", so that user doesn't have click a button, all the user does click the link in email which will go to APEX page and ask wheather to save or open a file. any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Surya

Hi
Perhaps you could use an on-demand application process instead - you can specify these in the URL.
The URL syntax (for your link) would be like...
f?p=application_id:page_id:session:APPLICATION_PROCESS=process_idIs this what you mean?
Cheers

Cannot Click on Links from Received Email

My mother-in-law sent me a few forwards with links (ironically, about how poor Leopard is with security and a few other Leopard issues). I installed, unfortunately, Leopard and since then, have not been able to click on links that are in email I received. It worked before with the Tiger version of Mail. Help anyone??

I recently installed Leopard and then upgraded to 10.5.1 - message reads Safari cannot be used on this system. The Safari is still version 2.0.4 despite this upgrade.
Consequently I am having to use Firefox.
As the default for opening hyperlinks in Mail is Safari - anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

My published calendar is blank when I click the link from the email. What am I missing?

I have published my calendar and sent an email with the info, but when I click on the link the calendar is blank.
Any ideas so that my husband can see my calendar at his work computer?

The problem with add-ons is, most work together without causing the user
too much trouble. But once in a while, someone discovers a problem. And its
hard to trace down because, as it turns out, two or more add-ons cause the
problem. That is why one of the first things a user can do is to
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''.
If the problem is gone that tells us something. If the problem is still there,
that tells us something else.<BR><BR>
If you ever have a problem, and you think an add-on is the cause, the best
thing to do is to start disabling the add-ons one by one or five by five until
the problem is gone.

Execute process after clicking a link

i have a page with a form and report.
the report contains links to specific datasets in the form. that means: it's a link to the same page but another data set.
because of the form i have a process Automatic Row Processing (DML) to save changes in the form.
now i want to use this process after clicking a link. i did the following: i added to link the keyword 'Apply' in the position of 'Request'.
the process says: Valid Update Request Values: SAVE, APPLY CHANGES, UPDATE, UPDATE ROW, CHANGE, APPLY, APPLY%CHANGES%, GET_NEXT%, GET_PREV% , but if i click on a link the process will never be executed.

Hi
What do you mean with "link to the same page"?
If you don't SUBMIT the page, the Automatic Row Processing will not fire.
So your "link" should be something like a href="javascript:doSubmit('APPLY');",
and then you set up Page Branching to branch to the same page.
You might want to set up a condition for the branch also, choose Request = Expression 1, and enter APPLY in the expression 1 field.
Hope this applies to your case.

I clicked on a link from an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for any viruses?

I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?

You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do: Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version! One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

I don't want Firefox to be my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link from my emails, how do I disable this?

When I click on a link from my emails it opens automatically through firefox. I want to disable this feature as I would like to go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together but I don't want it to be my main browser either.
Thank you

The only way to have such links not open Firefox is to set another browser the default browser.
That MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set another browser like IE as the default browser.
See Setting default browser manually:

How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems. There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
other letter besides 'Q'

Hi,
Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:

How do I get a website to open on firefox from my email?

I have Internet Explorer. I just downloaded Firefox. An online store that I shop at regularly sends me emails. When I click on their link from my email it takes me to their site through Internet Explorer. How do I get the link from my email to open through Firefox?

Usually links in other applications* will open web pages in your default web browser. To have Firefox make itself your default web browser -- if it doesn't ask you when you start it up -- you can follow the steps in this article: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]].
Does Windows comply or resist the change?
''*'' Just to clarify: applications other than a browser, which handles links on its own.

Every time I click on a link from an email it opens two exact firefox browers.

Every time I click on a link from my emails it opens two exact firefox browers to that link. Not two tabs, two browers. How can I prevent this from happening.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

Why can't I use links within my email messages? When a link is clicked, nothing happens--it doesn't go to that specific website.

HI Ana ...
I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
That's a different issue...
First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

I get a general failure when I click on links in my email. This happens more frequently now that I've downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Very annoying. Help!!!

I get a general failure when I click on links in my email. "General Failure" is followed by a link and I have to click ok to get rid of it. This happens every time I click on a link in my email. I've turned my computer on and off several times, but it persists. It's very annoying and I'm considering returning to Internet Explorer because of it.

This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
(Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.

I am using windows 7 pro this issue has drove me crazy for some time, now finally it's fixed by doing the exact same steps as above, hope this works for everybody that is having this problem. I just had to share this with my fellow firefox users. :)
