How to force SAVE/OPEN dialog box to appear in IE? (save output locally)

Hi all!
I currently have various reports in Excel format outputted in cache via the iAS browser.
Is there a way to programatically force a SAVE/OPEN BOX to appear in IE whenever my output is spreadsheet/excel? The prompt box appears on Firefox and Opera but not in IE, i take it that IE has already been 'configured' to open excel spreadsheet automatically in the browser.
Another spin to the question is: How do end users save the Reports output directly to their local machine; instead of having it opened in the browser or saving it in the midtier server

I found a backdoor solution to this:
at the URL link, i added &mimetype=application, this will force IE to show the save dialog box because it does not know what the application type is.

  • How to invoke 'File Open' dialog box in Forms (under unix)

    Hi all,

    going from 6i to 10g is a migration. That's no easy step normally.
    client-server-functionality has gone. web-functionality is new.
    Install the new webutil-toolset from oracle and use the new file-open-dialog from the webutil.pll. That's the way you work in the new 10g-environment.

  • How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

    Hi,
    I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
    I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
    For reference,
    - here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
    - here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
    For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
    Many thanks!

  • Open Dialog boxes have disappeared

    In OS X 10.8.2, the open dialog boxes stopped appearing in Pages and Preview. Also, all the menu text in the Mac Kindle app has disappeared. I have run Disk Utility, reinstalled the OS, the Kindle app and Pages. No change. I get Open Dialogs in other apps. Clearly, the Pages and Preview issues are related. I am guessing the Kindle app problem, if it is related, provides a clue. Can anyone help?

    Thank you, but this did not change anything. I am still having the same problems:
    1) No open dialog for Preview
    2) No open dialog for Pages
    3) Most text missing from Amazaon Kindle application control screen and dialog boxes (almost all titles, Library, Collection, mouse overs, search box, all blank. Oddly, if I type in something in the search box, it works. I just can't read anything that comes up. I'm inserting a screen shot of someof this behavior - I did a search of the word "seek" in the selected book.)

    so much wrong with this post...
    a) use the code tags to format the code. Now it is an unreadable mess
    b) scriptlets in your JSP. I don't even want to look at that mess. Learn how to combine servlets and JSPs to create clean, readable and maintainable code in which view logic and business logic are separated. The rule: no java code in your JSP, only tags and EL expressions (learn about JSTL).
    So you get a blank screen. When you do "view source" in your browser, do you see anything there? If nothing, check if you are behind a proxy server. The solution to a post of not too long ago was that the blank screen was being caused by faulty proxy server settings (the user figured it out himself, I don't know what was done to solve it).
    If all this fails you will have to do some debugging magic using your favorite IDE. It will probably be something stupid you are overlooking in the code. It is annoying, but debugging code that does not work is a big part of your job. Better get good at it.

  • Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back."  How in PP 2010 for mac????

    I do presentations in PP10.  I am new to macair, and used to Windows.  HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"?  I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back.  The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box.  I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC.  How do I do it with the Mac????

    Hi Rod,
    As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
    Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
    If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
    Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
    I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
    Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

  • Save Open dialog box opening very slow

    I have windows 7 professional 64bit OS. whenever i try to open/save as dialog box it appears very slow, then it will say it is not responding then after 10-15sec it will come alive.
    Need help!!!!!!

    Blair,
    I followed your suggestions above....reset IE ...clean boot. Didn't solve the problem.  (had trouble making that MSCONFIG window bigger !? <wink>)
    Problem still exists.  And to be clear, here is the problem(s) ...I believe they are all interrelated.
    #1.  I end the explorer.exe process and restart it.  Run Explorer and start clicking folders in my FAVORITES.  System hangs for about 10 seconds before it catches up.
    Alternatly, after a explorer.exe restart, if I run explorer and start clicking down through folders from the C: drive, there is no hang.   SUSPECT - some sort of file for favorites needs to be rebuilt?!
    #2. Open MS Word.  Type a few letters.  Select File/Save.  Most icons under Favorites are white.  Trying clicking more than one, but system hangs for ten seconds until icons fill in.
    #3.  WINDOWS button, start typing in the search INTERNET....5-10 seconds before Internet Explorer (and other INT* things show up.!  Usually this is instantaneous.

    - Checked Indexed location is C: drive/ User/ just my data areas....reindexed
    - Tried reboot with Windows Search service disabled....no help.  Turned back on.
    - Tried MS Essentials off.  Tried Firewall off
    - Rebuilt ICONCACHE - was 8mb, now less 450kb
    - Archived OUTLOOK down to a reasonable size (and had to do the manual compress to reduce the file size after)
    - turned off some Windows visual effects.
    - Turned off Dropbox from autostarting....this was before I tried the Clean Boot
    - turned by ON (default)  in Startup - though it has Unknown MFG and no details  :~(   , i found that it likely is needed for my 64 bit machine.

  • I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

    I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

    The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up.   Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
    It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
    The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog.  It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
    You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
    There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge   Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

  • My Mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes

    My mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes, this includes saving in photoshop and uploading photos to Facebook. The dialog boxes do not appear - please help?

    Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
    Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
    After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

  • Open dialog box....

    Hi Everyone,
    I have designed a form in which user has to input the path where he wants to save his report.
    Like c:\test.PDF
    what i want to do is that when user click a button againts this field a dialog box should appear in which he can select the location, like in Notepad File > Open or File Save.
    and after selecting the path and closing the box the path should be display in the text field which i have provid to my user. Is it possible to attach the default file extension automatically in the text box?
    like if user have written c:\test it should be automatically converted into c:\test.PDF? Any Idea?
    How is this posible in Developer 6i. I will be very thankful if someone can help me solving this problem.
    Regards,

  • Small Icon sizes in Open Dialog Box

    When I upgraded from Snow Leapard to Lion I was very impressed that the icon sizes in the File->Open dialog boxes varied in size (per folder) on how you viewed them in Finder. For example, I would set my Finder Pictures folders and contents to a larger icon size to see them easier, then when I would open Photoshop and use the File->Open menu option, the icons would be the same size as how I viewed them in Finder.  It was beneficial to have a larger icon to view pictures when I would use File-> Open in Photoshop to select a photo. Since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, it seems this feature has gone away?? It went back to the way it was with Snow Leapard. All icons are really small no matter how you view them in Finder.
    Is there a way to change the icon sizes in the Open/Save dialog boxes to be larger in Mountain Lion? Possibly using the command prompt? Please help?!

    I've used the Quicklook to get a larger image, but it's still not as convenient as it used to be with Lion. I'm confused on why the change was made to go back to small icons as a default?  When using Lion, you could have the icon size whatever you wanted.

  • Photoshop crashes with open dialog box on Windows 8.1

    I just upgraded from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1. I have Photoshop CC, I also have Photoshop Elements installed. On occasion, Photoshop CC hangs when using the open dialog box. It then crashes explorer. The only way to resolve it is to restart the PC.
    Has anyone seen this behavior. I do not have any logs as of now.

    I don't know if this is helpful or exactly on topic with this thread... but I have to share somewhere...
    I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
    My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue. 
    History:  If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually...  If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
    Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
    "Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
    Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing…  finally !!!!
    ...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
    Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
    For 32-bit :  regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
    For 64-bit:   regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
    I found this info about turning off  "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link:
