How to use a website's favicon as the desktop shortcut icon on FF/windows?

I've seen related questions on this forum but none answer my question. I am a developer and the website I am working on is for kids and students. Previously, we gave instructions to parents and teachers that they could drag the favicon to the desktop to get a shortcut to the right page - and the shortcut icon was our favicon image (our logo). This made it easy for kids to find the right icon on their own.
We now find that the dragged shortcut icon is the icon of the default browsers on that machine. I've seen suggestions for how I can change this on my own computer but I have not seen any way for me to fix this for my users - I am dealing with users that are busy and not technically-knowledgeable. I can't ask them to change their about:config settings or download the logo separately and right click to set the icon of the shortcut to the logo. These are not solutions for me.
IE does this action automatically and Firefox used to do it automatically. Please help!

Sorry, that doesn't solve my problem. Please read the question more closely - I want my USERS to be able to do this without changing their configurations. My users are public school elementary teachers and parents. I can't ask them to toggle any settings - I'm looking for a way that my users can do this on their own.
Thanks

  • How to use setFireActionForSubmit with parameters and capture the parameter

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain how to use setFireActionForSubmit.
    I am extending the Controller of ShoppingCartPG. In the extended controller processRequest method I am adding a button to the table and setting up the setFireActionForSubmit, so when the button is pressed it raises the event associated with the setFireActionForSubmit.
    I need to pass the RequisitionLineId as a parameter which is present in the VO associated with the ShoppingCartPG.
    I have used the following code in processRequest
    =================================
    public void processRequest(OAPageContext paramOAPageContext, OAWebBean paramOAWebBean)
    super.processRequest(paramOAPageContext, paramOAWebBean);
    OATableBean otbRN=(OATableBean)paramOAWebBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("ItemTableRN");
    OASubmitButtonBean oasb= (OASubmitButtonBean)paramOAPageContext.getWebBeanFactory().createWebBean(paramOAPageContext,"BUTTON_SUBMIT");
    oasb.setID("addnInfo");
    oasb.setUINodeName("addnInfo");
    oasb.setText("Additional Info");
    String pageName = paramOAPageContext.getRootRegionCode();
    Hashtable params = new Hashtable (1);
    params.put ("param1", pageName);
    Hashtable paramsWithBinds = new Hashtable(1);
    paramsWithBinds.put ("param2", new OADataBoundValueFireActionURL(oasb, "${oa.encrypt.current.RequisitionLineId}"));
    oasb.setFireActionForSubmit("addnInfoEvent",params,paramsWithBinds,false,false);
    otbRN.addIndexedChild(oasb);
    =================================
    And in processFormRequest method I am capturing the event "addnInfoEvent" and trying to capture the RequisitionLineId which I have passed it as a parameter.
    This is the code I have used in processFormRequest.
    =================================
    public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext paramOAPageContext, OAWebBean paramOAWebBean)
    super.processFormRequest(paramOAPageContext, paramOAWebBean);
    OAApplicationModule localOAApplicationModule = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean);
    String strEvent= paramOAPageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM) ;
    if ("addnInfoEvent".equals(strEvent))
    Number localNumber = 0;
    try {
    localNumber = new Integer(ClientUtil.getDecryptedParameter(paramOAPageContext, "param2"));
    catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
    String outmsg="Line ID : " + localNumber + ":" + strEvent;
    throw new OAException(outmsg,OAException.INFORMATION);
    =================================
    But I am not able to capture the RequisitionLineId which I have sent as a parameter.
    Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong.

    Hi,
    This is the requested HTML Code
    ===============================
    <button id="N3:addnInfo:0" class="x7g" style="background-image:url(/OA_HTML/cabo/images/swan/btn-bg1.gif)" onclick="return _chain('submitForm(\'DefaultFormName\',1,{\'param1\':\'${oa.encrypt.current.RequisitionLineId}\',\'serverValidate\':\'1\',\'param2\':\'${oa.encrypt.current.RequisitionLineId}\',event:\'addnInfoEvent\',source:\'N3:addnInfo:0\'});return false;',*'submitForm*(\'DefaultFormName\',1,{\'_FORM_SUBMIT_BUTTON\':\'N34\'});return false',this,event,true)" type="submit">Additional Info</button>

  • How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX 10?

    I am new to Mac and the Mountain Lion software.  Having worked exclusively with PC operating systems, I am familiar with how to work with files in Windows, but am having trouble doing similar actions in OX 10.  How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX?  Although this answer is likely in a video tutorioal (somewhere), I do not have the time to sit an arbitrarily watch generic OS videos that give a broad brush overview, without answering specific queries.  Any help out there?

  • How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

    How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

    Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
    If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • How to use one NIC for everything and the other to allow ssh from

    Hello,
    I have two internet connexion at home:
    - a cable connection (CABLEBOX) that i use for all of my devices as it's the fastest. All my computers are connected to it using ethernet or wifi.
    - an adsl connection (ADSLBOX) that is connect to the second network card of one of my computers (MEDIABOX) only and that i want to use only to ssh that same device from the outside
    I want that specific computer to use its:
    - NIC1 to connect to the LAN and to the internet. Routing is enabled on CABLEBOX.
    - NIC2 to connect to that device from the outside using ssh. ssh-D should also work through NIC2 as i need to be able to use that computer as a proxy on some occasions. Routing is enabled on ADSLBOX and it's set to port forward the port 22 to MEDIABOX.
    Once this will be working i'd like to also route ftp connections to specific ips by NIC2.
    No firewall is set on MEDIABOX yet, i'll do it later on.
    I know basics on how to set routing rules, how to assign a specific LAN to a network card but i have a hard time on deciding which rules i should set...
    Can someone guide me?
    Thanks in advance

    A possible solution might be this.
    On ADSLBOX and CABLEBOX configure different subnets for the LAN, e.g.
    ADSLBOX:    192.168.1.0/24
    CABLEBOX: 192.168.2.0/24
    The MEDIABOX gets these static IPs:
    ADSL-LAN: 192.168.1.2
    CABLE-LAN: 192.168.2.2
    On the MEDIABOX, configure the two network interfaces using two routing tables.
    The ADSL-LAN routing table
    ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2 table 1
    ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 table 1
    The CABLE-LAN routing table
    ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2 table 2
    ip route add default via 192.168.2.1 table 2
    The main routing table
    ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2
    ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2
    # use the CABLE-LAN gateway as default, so general internet traffic from MEDIABOX runs over CABLEBOX
    ip route add default via 192.168.2.1
    define the lookup rules
    ip rule add from 192.168.1.2 table 1
    ip rule add from 192.168.2.2 table 2
    To test the setup:
    ip route show
    ip route show table 1
    ip route show table 2
    I don't know how to persist something like this in ArchLinux using netctl. Might require to write a special systemd unit for it. Above is a working example from a RedHat box at my company.

  • How to use family sharing when already sharing the same iCloud account

    My wife and I started separate iTunes account many years ago, and thus made many purchases on each account.  Some time later we started using iCloud, and when we did, we decided we wanted to share the same iCloud account so my wife, for example, could add entries in the Notes app and I'd be able to see them, and vise versa.  In addition, we have another iPhone for our daughter, and with that she has her own iCloud account in use on her phone, however, she is signed into my iTunes account on her phone (so her/my purchases were on the same iTunes account, namely mine).
    Now, years later, Family Sharing came along and I'm trying to figure out how I can also make that work with the iTunes and iCloud setup we currently have.  My hope, with the Family Sharing feature, is that my wife's purchases (on her iTunes account) and my purchases on my iTunes account would be able to be shared.  That said, how should I go about setting up Family Sharing such

  • How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
    I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
    when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
    does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
    i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
    someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
    for this].
    also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
    For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
    any quick answers greatly appreciate..
    thx,

    Hi,
    That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
    Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

    Hi Mahodaya,
    As per SAp standards its good to delete the requestes that are no longer needed for the delta update and no longer used ffor inti from the change log table and the data is loaded already in to DSO.
    Goto RSPC

    Enter the selection patterns to which the requestes should be deleted from the change log.
    In the maintenance screen, select one or more Data Store objects for which requests are to be deleted from the relevant change log tables under Data Store Object column and select theInfo Area of the corresponding Data Store Objects under Info Area
    If you select the first check box exclude selction pattern, this means that del of requests from change log table will be ignored.
    or
    We can delete the requests which are Older than N-number of days (or) date in the above screen. For this one, enter the number of days (or) date in the filed Older than .
    OR
    If we want to select the requests with a certain status then we can also do in the above screen. We can select the following status indicators from the above screen.
    Delete Successfully Updated Requests Only -This status will delete only requests which
    are successfully updated into corresponding Data Store objects.
    Delete Incorrect Requests that were not Updated - This status will delete only incorrect requests which are not successfully updated into the corresponding Data Store Objects.
    Delete Activation Requests only, No Load requests- This status will delete only the activation requests (requests that begin with ODSR_... ). No load requests are deleted.
