I need to create a download button that detects mac or windows

I have mac and windows version of a screensaver. I want the user to click the download button and have either the mac version or windows version download according to what OS is running on the computer. Can anyone advise me on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Rich

Doing this solely through the download button is an exercise in futility.
It's much easier to just use two download buttons like this:
Or you can use a javascript to detect the browser on your index page, and you can send the visitor to the appropriate downloads page based on the info detected.
A quick search of "browser detection in html" led to to this page: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html which has a pretty simple detection script.
You'll need to know javascript to write the redirect so your visitors end up in the proper place, but that's why I suggested the buttons. Much simpler, and it leaves the choice up to your visitors, some of whom, like me, quite often download PC software on their Mac (& vice-versa) and pull it over through file sharing. It really all depends which side of the desk I'm sitting at when I find something, how I download a file if I want it. I know the difference between an exe and a dmg. so I know if I'm  downloading the right thing or not.

  • Friend received a text from me saying that to read the text he should hit the download button that i did not send

    Just got a text from a friend that claims he received a text from me. This text told him that to "receive my text" he needed to hit a download button that was in the text. i DID NOT send him any text! This is alarming! I immediately changed my Apple ID and password. Should i be worried? Has anyone experienced this and what does it mean?!

    Perhaps your friends phone has been hacked.
    Unless yours has been jailbroken, it has not been hacked.
    It would seem far more likely that your friend has the issue, than you.

  • Create a clear button that will clear a jpanel

    so i have two classes. One being a frame, and the other being a panel.
    On the panel, i can draw various shapes with various colours etc. The frame contains the panel, and also a north panel containing various buttons to achieve this.
    What i would i need to do is create a clear button that will clear the panel.
    I know i can go and set it so it's draws a rectangle the same colour as the background but that would be cheating.
    I will post a section of the paint just so you get an idea.
        public void paintComponent(Graphics gPanel) {
            if (this.buffer == null) {
                Dimension d = getSize();
                this.buffer = new BufferedImage(d.width, d.height,
                        BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB_PRE);
                myLineColour = new Color(0, 255, 0);     // initial colour for drawing
                this.g2Buffer = (Graphics2D) this.buffer.getGraphics();
                this.g2Buffer.setColor(Color.white);
                this.g2Buffer.fillRect(0, 0, d.width, d.height);
                // This time we'll draw with a broad pen 
            g2Buffer.setStroke(new BasicStroke(myLineWidth));
            if (myShapeFlag == 1){{
                this.g2Buffer.setColor(Color.white);
                g2Buffer.setXORMode(myLineColour); //go into the overwrite mode
                g2Buffer.drawLine(xStart, yStart, xOld, yOld); // undraw last
                g2Buffer.drawLine(xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd);     // draw new
                g2Buffer.setPaintMode();          // out of XOR overwrite mode
                xOld = xEnd;                    // store last end point
                yOld = yEnd;
            if(mouseReleased) {          // final time through
                g2Buffer.setColor(myLineColour);
                g2Buffer.drawLine(xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd);     // draw final
                mouseReleased = false;
            gPanel.drawImage(this.buffer, 0, 0, this); }Any help on this would be much appreciated

    no idea how to do this.. sorry...
    for the jbutton action listenener i'm not sure.
    I think i'm on the right tracks with a method
        public void clearPanel(Graphics gPanel){
                g2Buffer.fillRect(100,100,100,100);     // draw final
                gPanel.drawImage(this.buffer, 0, 0, this);
    }but again i think i'm way off the mark..

  • How can I create a submit button that only saves?

    Our end users will save the completed form and later upload it to anotherg place.  I created a save button that works fine, but without a Submit button there is nothing to trigger the reminder to go back and answer required questions.  I don't want to lose that part.  Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer!

    Would something like this work for you?
    var OKToSave = true;
    if (tfSomething.isNull) {
              tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
              OKToSave = false;

  • I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you.

    I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you. My MacPro computer is slowly dying and I need to get going with Acrobat Pro 9.

    Unfortunately, Adobe has quit support of earlier version. They have a version of AA9 Pro for Windows posted, but not for the MAC as I understand it. You can try Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, but again I can only find PC versions. Someone may drop by with a link or you might see if anyone locally has the CD (that you could get the install file from). You will still need to use your original S/N.

  • I need to download some previous purchases and I can't find the download button that the support articles refer to.

    I lost some of my purchased music. I read numerous support articles and it seems that the easiest solution is just to re-download those purchases to i-tunes on my pc. The problem is that the articles refer to a download button which I cannot find anywhere. BTW I am using the latest iTunes versin for Windows.

    You already have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 installed for Firefox on the PC you used to post here, see your ''More system details...'' next to your posting.
    There are no 64-bit builds of Firefox made, only 32-bit currently. There are some 3rd party builds floating around out there, but Mozilla doesn't allow them to be named Firefox - they would be called Namoroka for 3.6 versions. Mozilla does have a Minefield 64-bit build for 4.0-pre versions, but it won't be available as Firefox until probably Firefox 5 is released.
    If your situation is with a different PC than what you used to post here: <br />
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Captivate 4 - I need to add a Email Button that reads Submit

    I looked in the Help feature for Captivate 4 and couldn't find my answer.
    So my predecessor put a button on the quiz results page that would allow people to submit their quiz results to the LMS. I am unable to recreate this button. When I look at the button on projects she created, it is showing as an "email button". I have no clue how to add an "email button". I also can't copy/paste the button from one project to another. Nor can I copy/paste the slide from one project to another.
    Anyone have a clue how I add a "email button" from scratch?
    Here is a screen shot that partially shows the quiz results page, and the properties window for the button. THANK YOU for all the help!!!!!

    Hi Rick, thanks for the response. I appreciate it!
    So the issue isn't what the buttons are doing on the actual quiz slides, it's needing to add an Email button on the slide that gives the final scoring information (the reporting slide?). The screen shot you have shown me, isn't that the submit button on the quiz slides, not the final scoring slide?
    As you can see here, I have the Submit button on quiz slides:
    When I look at the properties of this Submit button, it shows as a Text button, not an Email button like the Submit button on the reporting slide is.
    Now I know you are probably thinking I should just click the drop down and select "email", but that selection is not there:
    Here are screen shots of my Quiz preferences and Reporting preferences:
    What I need to create is a Submit button on the reporting slide for the quiz that is an Email button. Like this one:
    When I look at the properties of this Submit button, it is an Email button. Notice how the tab says "Email Button" and not "Submit button" like the other properties windows for the other "Submit" buttons.
    This is where I'm stuck. When I go to Captivate projects that have a reporting page with a Submit button, I can't copy/paste the button. I tried to do a right click and I don't have a copy option:
    When I higlight Submit and go to Edit, I don't see the option to copy the button there either.
    So I figured I would copy the slide to the presentation that needs this Submit/Email button and I can't copy/paste the slide either. When I do a right click on the slide, there isn't a copy option:
    When I go to to Edit to try to copy the slide, the option isn't there either:
    I am really thinking that the Submit button the final reporting slide for the quiz is a Widget of some sort. Hum.
    Thanks! Karen

  • How can I creat a control button that will allow the vi to run?

    Instead of pressing the run button, I want to creat my own run button that will allow my vi to run.
    Any idea?
    Thank you

    First you need to set the VI to Run When Opened (VI Properties>Execution). Then you create a front panel Boolean. On the diagram what you need to do is have some sort of idle state where nothing is done until the Boolean is pressed. It could be a separate while loop that doesn't exit until the Boolean is pressed, an Event Structure, or as part of a state machine. Look at the shippings examples Queued Message Handler, New Event Handler, Using Buttons for Options to name just a few.

  • How to create a radio button that changes colors

    I'm using Acrobat X and ID CS5 on Mac OS X.
    A couple of years ago someone on the forums explained to me how to create a button that changes color with each click. You can view a sample PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle.pdf. They gave me the document JS and showed me how to set the properties of the button. I've integrated the button into a particular series of PDF forms and it's worked out very well.
    Now I would like to do the same thing, but using a circle instead of a square. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Can I somehow set a radio button to cycle through colors in the same way? I design my forms initially in ID CS5 and then activate and format the fields in Acrobat X. I've tried using circles instead of squares in my ID document, but when I export to an interactive PDF, they're converted to squares.
    Any ideas?

    I understand how to make buttons cycle through colors-- the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to make a circular button cycle through colors. When I export my ID document to PDF, my round button maintains it's original appearance, but when I click on it to cycle through the colors, it behaves like a square (see new PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle2.pdf).
    If I use a radio button, I can get it to cycle through colors, but I don't want it to have a black dot in the middle. Is there a way to format the radio button to not show the black dot when clicked?

  • Need to create a sales order that does not create demand

    Hi,
    We need to create a no cost sales order - that does not create demand
    In our current set-up when we try to create a no cost sales order with a material ( It Cat = Norm) we see demand being created in MD04
    What configuration settings will allow us a deliverable order - that does not create demand (no MRP run?)
    Thanks,
    SM

    Hello,
    For this set of requirement i think the best option would be to configure a New Sales Order Type and a new Schedule Line Category. In VOV6, While you are defining a new Schedule line category in the transaction flow make sure to switch off the three check box.
    Transfer of requirements / Begin assembly order from SD
    Availability check for sales
    Product allocation active
    Then when we are assigning this newly defined Schedule line Category to Item category, make sure to leave the field of MRP Type as blank in VOV5.
    Regards,

  • Create an exit button that (really) works

    Hello,
    I'm using Captivate 6.
    I have create a playbar with trigger zone for "previous slide" button, "next slide" button and a "home" button.
    Trigger zone for previous and next slide are working perfectly in the preview and from the swf i have published.
    Concerning the "Home" button, it is in fact an exit button that closes the swf (an advanced action including cpCmndExit with 1).
    It is working from the preview but not at all from the swf (played in Chrome and IE9).
    Kind regards,
    Vincent

    I just went through a very similar struggle using the variable CPcmdexit =1 here was what I found and the solution for me.  First off, this variable only seems to work when using Internet Explorer (couldn't get it to work with chrome and didn't test firefox).  Luckily our LMS standard is the users use IE so that helped me passed the hurdle.  The second part of the equation though that took me forever to figure out was that in the Reporting Settings make sure that your success criteria is being obtained.  In other words my criteria was that the user viewed 100% of the slides before being complete.  This did not work for me because I had slides past my end point that the presentation jumped and returned from.  My resolution was to set it to the number slide instead of percentage that I wanted my user to view.  So success now looks like the user viewing to slide 37 (note: It seems although I didn't throroughly test that if you have hidden slides along the way to get the end number that it throws the count off since user can't actually view it).  When that criteria is met it seems that the Cpcmdexit button functions properly otherwise it is unresponsive.
    Hope that helps.
