  • How to get a file save dialog box on button click

    Hi All,
    I have  some text  and I want to write this text in to a  file.Then I want to save this file to my local system using a file save dialog box so that I can choose the location where I want to save this file.Please tell me how can I do this in WebDynpro.
    If I cannot get the File save Dialog Box then how can I give the path while creating the new file so that it is created on my local system  as the application is running on server.
    Regards
    Rahul

  • How do I get rid of a dialog box that keeps coming back even though I press Cancel?

    How do I get rid of a dialog box that keeps coming back even though I press Cancel?

    I was looking up Olympic stats on  Norwegian website, and must have inadvertently clicked a link. The dialog box says: "There is no application set to open the URL nasjoner:2"
    It goes on to tell me to search the App Store , choose an application, or cancel.

  • FF 7.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8: I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box in the top left corner of the screen, so far out that I can see only the bottom right corner of the dialog box. Is there any way of re-centring it?

    FF 7.0.1 on MacOSX 10.6.8 (not this machine!): I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box jammed into the top left corner of the screen so that only a quarter of it is visible.
    Is there a way of re-centring the dialog box (in particular, when its top edge is off the screen)?
    Thanks!

    There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
    You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
    I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

  • How do I get rid of a dialog box stating.

    How do I get rid of a dialog box stating - Were sorry but the browser you are using doesn't support the community toolbar?

    Did you install Community Toolbar and deleted it and the pop up continues, or do you want to use it but on a different browser? Which browser are you using? This article might not be what you want http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20027867-263.html If you want to get the right version you need to go to the Conduit site http://www.conduit.com/ and get the right one, I think.

  • When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

  • How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

    How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
    Here's my favorite scenario:
    1. User clicks button
    2. Save As dialog displays
    3. User chooses location
    4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
    Background:
    I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
    Concern:
    1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
    2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
    FYI:
    I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

    Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
    Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
    I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
    Yes but that's only part of it.  Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
    Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
    Yes. 
    <?php
    /* This short script forces a file download.
       For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
       You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
       with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
       Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
       file on your server.
    // full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
    $Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
    // the filename
    $theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
    //the work gets done here
    header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
    header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
    header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
    readfile($Path2File);
    ?>
    Name this file zip2download.php.
    Add a link to your HTML page:
    <a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>

  • How can I automatically close a dialog box using Javascript after I click the OK button to submit it?

    How can I automatically close a dialog box using Javascript after I click the OK button to submit it? I don't want to have to X out of the dialog box after I am done.
    Thanks
    Linda

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
    created in JS using the Dialog object.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
    You can try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to false.

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.
