How to open a url from a desktop application

Hi this may seem like a very easy question but all the topics online point to the following code....
var url = "http://www.adobe,com";
var urlReq = new air.URLRequest(url);
air.navigateToURL(urlReq);
However when I try to use this I keep getting an 1120 error saying that a definition for air could not be found.
Can someone please give me some fast direction?

I tried your suggestion...
Then after hitting myself in the head multiple times I came to say thanks
I really appreciate the help.

How to open an URL from Forms in blocking mode?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to open a website from within forms in blocking mode? The reason why I have to use blocking mode is that the user has to take some action in the website and has to end that session explicitly with a button on the website. After that, a file is written on the server that is needed for further action. Without that file the process can't go on.
I use Forms (32-bits) versie 10.1.2.0.2.

Thanks for your answer.
Your suggestion is only possible with a timer-trigger (correct me if I'm wrong). And that's the point.... The time the user can act in the website is unlimited. So, how to set up a timer-trigger? Another work around is to make a process that works at some time and searches for the files on the server. But that's not what we want to do.
Does anyone have another idea?

How to open browser window from standalone Java Application???

Is it possible to start Internet Explorer from non-applet application?

Something like that could maybe help:
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("iexplore http://www.google.com");
but it's not platform independent + I couldn't let it work in that way. It only worked with Runtime.getRuntime.exec("c:\\windows\\....\\iexplore.exe http://www.google.com");
But it's surely not platform independent.
So the answer is in fact 'I don't know'.
And if you ask why am I writing all that then, the answer is 'I don't know' too.
And if you ask why...

How to open JSP session from a java application or an applet?

Hi,
My problem is a bit challenging (at least for me) and its not about JSP but it is about a web application..
I couldnt find a better place to post this question I am sorry if this is not the right place to post it..
I need to enable users log into my website by checking username and password and reading and checking the data from a usb device located in client computer.
I can read from the device thorough JNI using the third party DLL file for the device... I have no problem with that..
Since I need to make native calls I am planning to develop a java application so I let the users open the application using web start.. Once my application is running on client side after reading the device and getting login password information (assuming login information correct), How can I open a web session for the that spesific user and a web browser and let the user browse the web site on his/her own session?
I would appreciate any guidance..
Thanks..

add the values in the header using...
response.addHeader("userNmae","XXXX");use it in all ur pages like say..
if(!request.getHeader("userName")!=null && request.getParameter("userName").equlas(""))
String username=request.getParameter("userName");
}

Can't Open "Lightroom 5" from CC Desktop Application

The CC Desktop shows my "Lightroom 5" application with check mark as "Up to date". However, it does not have link to open the application form there...is it common? or something needs to be set?
As I roll over on Photoshop or Bridge, the cursor pointer turns to 'Hand' and on clicking it opens the application. That does not happen with "Lightroom 5"!

What - exactly - does the message say?

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

the getAppletContext() method of the Applet class will get you an AppletContext, with which you can call the ShowDocument(URL url) or ShowDocument(URL url, String target) method...
check it out at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/applet/AppletContext.html

How to open the Url type in Attachments Table

Hi All,
If we attached the any files, files are stored in the fnd_lobs table, pickup the data from the fnd lobs table and stored in the local system but if attached the url type how to open the url type.is there any standard ?
Thanks,
Venkat

You can do it one of two ways:
1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
=CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
Format that as a number.

How to down load pictures from my desktop

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I move files from my desktop to a flash drive?

How do I move files from my desktop to a flash drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open a Finder window by pressing the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose the flash drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Then, drag the file from the Desktop to the Finder window, so it will be copied to the flash drive.
Note that the file won't be copied if your flash drive is formatted in NTFS, so you will have to install an application like Paragon NTFS or you will have to format the flash drive in a different filesystem

How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history?

Hi,
How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history. I am not asking about "Reopen from last session". I am asking about how to open all tabs from previous webpage links from a past date from history, currently its allowing me to select each page link manually by clicking it.
Thank you!

Select the first item you wish to open, scroll down to the last, Shift-click that one & all those between should be selected too. Double-click on them & they should all start to open... or you can copy & then drag/paste into a new or existing bookmarks folder.

How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

Hi All,
I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
My usecase for this is the following:
We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov
