Internet Explorer and COM

Is it possible to open internet exploer up to view a pdf file? If so anyone got any example code?
Or the same thing with adobe to view PDF files?
cheers

IE doesn't directly support PDF files, it uses plugins.
These are ActiveX controls ( COM ) which IE associates with MIME types.
So what do you want to do
a) open up a pdf file to view from a java application ?
try executing "start <filename>"
That's ask Windows to open up "filename" with the default application associated with it's file extension.
b) open up a pdf file to view from a java applet....
You might have better luck using HTML / Javascript to embed the PDF file in the web page, or to create a new window to view the pdf file.

Flash video, .4fv files in particular won't play in Firefox - Any one have any suggesstions? I already updated my Flash player and plays in Internet Explorer and Chrome

If you look at this page in Firefox, http://www.vpi-corp.com/Empower-Demo/index-iframe.asp, you will see that the html portion of the page loads, and if you right click in the white area in the middle, the Flash is present as well. I can view this page correctly in Internet Explorer and Chrome. I have tried to export the movie as far back as Flash 7.0, but will not resolve. I have also been able to see this video for a while in Firefox, but then mysteriously went away. Any help would be appreciated. I suspect some patch to the programming on this page will be necessary.

That f4v file is send as text/plain, maybe that is causing it

Trying to log into a web site i could yesterday. will nt recognize password. it works on internet explorer and my ipad

web site is stampworld.com firefox saved an incorrect username and would not let me change it.. i went into password under tools and deleted the entry for this web site.. it no longer autoenters the wrong id or autoenters a pass word but still does not let me log on.. I use the correct id and when i enter the password and click log in the page flickers and the password field clears but will not log me in. id and password works perfectly on internet explorer and my ipad.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

When viewing email in my webmail inbox there are added spaces between paragraphs, these are not there in Internet Explorer and Chrome

I use GoDaddy's webmail service, when I open an email that has several paragraphs the spaces between them are double, sometimes triple, spaced; this is apparent in Internet Explorer and Chrome

How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed. This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request. If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Get Internet explore and Microsoft Office version from own PC

hi experts,
Is it possible to find out which version Internet Explore and Microsoft Office you have installed in your computer within an ABAP Program?
Is there a function module or a method to get out of these information from your computer?
Alternative is using some Java or Visual basic codes witin an ABAP program: if yes, please provide some example codes.
Best regards
LN

Nick & Manohar are right......This method is working.....I was just checking it out.....
On your PC, Goto START->RUN->REGEDIT
For MS Word
Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT->Word.Document->CurVer
You will get a default registry value of type REG_SZ with value Word.Document.12
The last two digits indicate the version of MS word installed (Refer Microsoft Support link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005 )
Word 2010 14.0
Word 2007 12.0
Word 2003 11.0
Word 2002 10.0
Word 2000   9.0
For IE
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Internet Explorer
You will find a registry value of type REG_SZ with the version no of the installed component.
Now, in ABAP program call the method to get the current versions.....
DATA: v_ver_word TYPE string,
      v_ver_ie   TYPE string.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
EXPORTING
    root      = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_classes_root
    key       = 'Word.Document\CurVer'
IMPORTING
    reg_value = v_ver_word.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
EXPORTING
    root      = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_local_machine
    key       = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer'
    value     = 'Version'
IMPORTING
    reg_value = v_ver_ie.

Mm_menu.js HTML5 changes Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Technical Support,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/bg182625(v=vs.85).aspx
mm_menu.js is an output of Dreamweaver and enables drop-down menus. Microsoft is eliminating
document.all and replacing it with document.getElementById
to comply with HTML5 standards
I modified mm_menu.js as Microsoft recommended (so I thought) and it worked perfectly well in Internet Explorer. However, I couldn’t get the drop-down menus in Mozilla Firefox. What do I need to do to get mm_menu.js to work or does Firefox need to make additional modifications?
FYI, I tried using the following quick fix which resulted in the Internet Explorer page displaying incorrectly:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
See below for the modified version of mm_menu.js
It would be nice if the same javascript worked in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Thanks,
Robin Rembish

Yeah, it would have been nice if IE had followed web standards over the years before IE11 came out so that programs like Dreamweaver would have "gotten it right" from the beginning, instead of their users having to "patch" the code output by Dreamweaver to make it compatible now. That's what the "like Gecko" is all about = make it work like Mozilla.
Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

I log on with internet explorer and i can go to select videos from my att homepage. When i log on with firefox and i go to the same videoes i can see the advertisement and then it tells me the video is no longer available. How can we fix this ?

This is a direct download link: [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1] Download it to your desktop.
Just in case Firefox is still installed, please do the following.
Go to Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
If you don't see Mozilla Firefox in Add/Remove Programs, then it's not installed.

You can try if it works if you disable OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) for Flash
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.

Question
I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!
