HTML code question

Frontpage had a built in feature for what MS called
Bookmarks. Another reference was anchors. It was just a way to add
a hyperlink that took you to a specific location on the page. Does
DW have anything built in like this or do I just have to code it by
hand?

Use DW's F1 Help to read about "named anchors".

What html code will start an EXE (program) with a click on a webpage link?

The code in bold below worked. After I switched my browser from IE 11 to Firefox to get the hover on hotspots to work, the program gave me this error message. I moved the EXE file to my local file folder and tried it as shown below. Still no success. Any suggestions?

Perhaps this might be helpful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/
It allows executables in Firefox to be run - it is an extenstion, though, so it must be installed in Firefox before your page will work.
Another option is this solution, but it will still require a manual change in Firefox:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=803615
Or this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472435/running-exe-in-firefox-why- do-i-get-an-error
However, you will still have problems with getting it to work cross-browser. Honestly, browsers are not supposed to have access like that to the client side file system, which absolutely makes sense for the web.
That is why you may have to approach the solution from a different angle - perhaps create a server side cloud version of your application(s) which can be easily accessed and run by your family members. I believe you used C to develop the applications? Although I have no experience with this framework, Wt might be a solution to convert your projects to server side applications:

Web Intelligence: Save Report as PDF and with embedded HTML code

Hi all.
Sorry but I'm not able to find any post about this matter, please feel free to provide links if you know existing topics about this problem.
We created a beautiful report with HTML5 code embedded into a blank cell and we are now trying to export it in a printable format (e.g.: PDF or HTML).
As you know (as per manual information) it is not possible to export a report with embedded HTML code and keeping it in the output (cell with embedded HTML code is rendered blank).
My question is: is there a known workaround or an alternative solution to export the report and keep its content?
Print screen is not a valid option :-P
Thanks for the support or any suggestions

Paste html code into dreamweaver 8

I'm creating my 1st website in Dreamweaver 8, and am trying
to include a photo gallery. I haven't got as far as learning Flash
yet, but Ive found a piece of html code that will do what I want
and am now trying to place it on my dreamweaver file. I don't know
how to do this though, can anyone help please?
Many thanks
Nic

i think maybe you have answered your own question in your
title.
simply copy the html code from where ever it is and paste it
into your DW page. paste it in using the code view though not the
design view in DW.
if your not sure where abouts to paste it in the code view
then just go to design view and with your mouse select with one
click on the area of page that you want the gallery to go, for
example in the right cell of your table. then go back to code view
and you'll see that the curser will be in the right place - then
paste!
hope this helps

How to add a comment in a php file which has html code

Hi
I have a html file which I renamed .php after adding a form. I discovered that the html comment text I was using -  - was affecting how the page rendered, particularly in IE9.
My question is, now that it is a php file do I need to change all the comments syntax? I started to do it using the "apply comment" button in CS5 i.e. syntax: <?php /*?>form<?php */?>.
Is this the right way to do it? It gives "php" icons in design view but appears to render ok.
Thanks

PHP comments:
<?php
//This is a comment
This is
a php comment
block
?>
Use PHP comments inside PHP scripts/code.
HTML comments:


Use HTML comments inside HTML code.
CSS Comments:
 /*comment*/
 /*this is
 a css comment
 block*/
Use CSS comments inside CSS code (either embedded or external).
JavaScript comments:
//this is a single line comment
//this is another single line comment
/*this is a multi-line
javascript
comment
Use JavaScript comments inside JavaScript code (either embedded or external).

<h1>Revoking PI User Access</h1>
Access for both a PI user and a SCADAView user can be revoked if a Mantis
ticket requesting removal from IT AccessRequest exists. For Mantis tickets,
make sure that a Real Time Systems User ID Add-Changed-Remove
form completed by the user’s E4 manager is attached to the ticket. If
not, contact the requestor.
In order to remove access, you must search for the user name in both
the old and new databases:
<ul type="disc">
<li class="BulletedList">For instructions on revoking a user's access
in the old database, <a href="#Removing_Access_Old_DB">click here</a>.</li>
<li class="BulletedList">For instructions on revoking a user's access
in the new Active Directory database, <a href="#Removing_Access_New_DB">click
here</a>.</li>
</ul>
After revoking a PI user's access, you also need to remove the user's
name from the Outlook Address Book. For instructions, <a href="#Removing_User_Outlook_Group">click
here.</a>

I am exhausted from deleting specific HTML code to make the content work. Plus there seems to be an issue with the margins moving around. Can someone help me with this HTLM code nightmare? Other than deleting it all and inputting the text again? This is the only topic in my project in which this has occurred.

Hi Gloria,
 Its not possible to talk about a solution until you know the issue which caused it. the question is the HTML cannot get reorganize in RoboHelp if it is not edited exclusively - by this I mean if you bring in all the content through RoboHelp UI then RoboHelp will not change HTML by itself, until you manually change the html code.
you should try to find out the cause of the seizure (by which I think you mean hang), It could be that you are using any version control and it failed to checkout/checkin one or more project files, It might be that .cpd file got corrupted in that case you can try deleting the .cpd file after closing the project and it will get recreated by RoboHelp on next Open project, or it is possible that some of your shared resources might be missing/moved because of which RoboHelp hangs then in such case you should replace/remove these resources.
You should not be working on the project over network (i.e. the Project should be on the local drive).
Are you using CBTs and UDVs or your topics are too large (and thus processing of these topics seizes RoboHelp)
by any means deleting random HTML code of any topic might actually make the HTML invalid and cause more crashes or hangs.
I have listed down almost all the reason..
one way is to remove topics and find out the culprit topics which causes the hang and if you find one you can share it with me at [email protected] and I might find the cause of RH hang by inspecting that
Hope this helps

How can I get Firefox to execute html code in a text file?

I used Notepad to create a text file, markup.html, that contains html code. How can I get Firefox to execute this code?
Also, how can I use the <script> tag in the html code using the src attribute to execute code in a file written in Javascript?

First guess is that you did not use an .html extension on the file. The file may well be ''name.html.txt''

Use html code in web page composer 7.3

Hi all,
I have a question about the standard editors of web page composer in 7.3.
I want to create my own HTML code for the design of the portal page..
Is it possible to use the code through one of the standard editors?
At the moment I have created some html pages and store them in the KM content of the portal. Then I make this pages available with the KM Document iViews to use them in the Web Page Composer. The problem now is, that the links to other portal pages doesn't work..
So is there maybe a possibility to use the html code directly in one of the editors? Or do you know, how you have to define the links to navigate to other portal pages? I tried a href="TBN://..." like the links you get with the Link List Editor, but it doesn't work..
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Lydia

Hi,
now we have the tinyMCE editor, where you can insert and edit html-code. It works fine now for the layout,
but there are still a few problems with the links..
In the edit mode there are displayed all km images out of the km. But the images aren't displayed under the portal role, when i publish the page. And all the links like one to a wiki or the TBN links doesn't work, too.
Can anybody help me further?
Thanks in advance,

1-
I want to put a counter, a mp3 player and a mailing list code
that is in HTML code how can i do it?
example of the code of the counter:

the other codes are similar to this.

Okay.

> code that is in HTML code how can i do it?
Ah. Well, it's important to realize the difference between a
browser
and the Flash Player plug-in. Browsers download files and
display them
based on HTML. Most browsers have a JavaScript engine, which
is required,
of course, for interpreting JavaScript. In fact, having a
JavaScript engine
is a bit like having the Flash Player plug-in: without it,
you can't
display media of the relevant sort.
The Flash Player does not provide a JavaScript engine.
Flash's language
is ActionScript. So code like this ...
> example of the code of the counter:
>
> 
> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
> src="
http://pub8.bravenet.com/counter/code.php?id=395396&usernum=635540990&cpv=2
> ">
> </script>
... simply won't run in a Flash movie because there's nothing
to run it.
You'll either have to use one of the ActionScript solutions
for posting
variables (such as loadVariables() or the LoadVars class) --
and even that
may not work, because I'm guessing the bravenet.com PHP form
returns data
relevant to JavaScript -- or leave room in your HTML code for
both a SWF
file (your Flash movie) and such JavaScript snippets.

Look in your Components panel and use the ScrollPane
Component.

Well indented html code in DW

hi,
i use DW8 and i recently found out that DW does not make a
well indented HTML code. earlier i ignored this. this problem
surfaced recently when the asp programmers using visual studio said
that every time i give them a html page, they have to indent it
properly so that they are able to code properly which results in
some time being wasted. why is that DW cannot write proper indented
html code in the first place? will this be fixed in future or this
will continue? is there any extension which i can use to properly
indent it?
thanks,
gaurav

Outlook 2013 - Insert HTML code into email

Hi there,
A simple question, or so I thought. How can I insert HTML code into an Outlook email?
Thanks

You can inject HTML code into the message body via the Insert as Text option;
Insert-> (Attach) File-> select the created htm-file-> press the down arrow on the Insert button-> Insert as Text

JDIalog, HTML Code, setLocationRelativeTo; not centered

 private JLabel exerciseLabel;
 private JButton readyButton = new JButton("Ready");
 private JButton showSolutionButton = new JButton("Solution");

// action- and window-listeners...Am I building the JDialog correctly? Is there a better, a more recommended or "nicer" way? Why isn't hte dialog centered?
Edit: I really would like to assign Duke Stars to my question, however, since the last forum maintenance, I can't do this any more "Server Error

Here is the missing part for a SSCCE; I noticed that the modal dialog is centered in relation to the screen, not to the "ownerFrame", although I pass ownerFrame to the setRelativeTo statement.
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class GUI_Test extends JComponent implements MouseListener {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
 private JPanel pmPanel = new JPanel();
 private TDDialog tdd = new TDDialog(GUI_Test.frame);
 private static JFrame frame;
 public GUI_Test() {
 addMouseListener(this);
 add(pmPanel);
 private static void createAndShowGUI() {
 JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
 frame = new JFrame();
 frame.setTitle("GUI_Test");
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 GUI_Test newContentPane = new GUI_Test();
 newContentPane.setOpaque(true);
 frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
 frame.setResizable(false);
 frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
 createAndShowGUI();
 public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {
 tdd.setVisible(true);
 public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {}
 public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {}
 public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {}
 public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {}
}Thanks for your help!
