Is it possible to open a numeric link instead of calling it?

When you click on a numeric link in the web browser it tries to dial it, even if it's not a phone number (even when it doesn't look anything like a phone number, although I guess it's hard to tell with international numbers.) There seems to be no option (even on long click) to actually follow the link. If true, this is a serious problem that happens to me at least several times/week (usually when browsing catalogs and trying to open serial number links for product descriptions). Am I missing something, or is Apple?

You're not missing anything. It's something that Apple should fix, and for that to happen, tell them about the problem via feedback (this is a user forum).
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

    I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer.  I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook.  The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
    When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath.  If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank.  I've tested this on other computers in our office too.  When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff.  When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created.  This seems like it should be "Open a file."  To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer.  Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
    I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document.  It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
    I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much.  I welcome any suggestions for things to try.  Thank you!

    This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser.  Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

  • Action: Open a web link vs Run a JavaScript

    I've been able to add a "Run a JavaScript" Action to my Link, but what I really need to do is use the "Open a web link" action instead. Is there anything I can change in this code...
    Link.setAction("app.launchURL('http://www.lego.com/', true);" );
    or is there a different call I can use that will put in an action of "Open a web link" instead?
    Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone have a plugin that would work for this?  Or know where I could find one?
    Thank you

  • How to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app

    I would like to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app when click on a text field instead of the full keyboard.  Is this possible?

    It looks like this is implemented in Flashbuilder 4.6 through the softKeyboardType command:
        <s:TextInput softKeyboardType="number" />
    Here's a link to good article on it:http://devgirl.org/2011/11/29/flex-mobile-development-flex-4-6-cool-new-soft-keyboard-feat ures-sample-w-source/

    Hi Jon,
    Just as BI_group and Vishal said, there are two methods to open another report from one report in Reporting Services. We can enable an action with “Go to report” or “Go to URL” option to achieve the requirement. For more details, please see:
    Method1: Go to report
    Right-click a report item to open the properties dialog in main report, click Action in the left pane.
    Enable Go to report action, then select the main report name in the drop-down list.
    If we want to pass some parameters from main report to subreport, we can Add a parameter as below:
    Select ID (a parameter name from subreport) in the drop-down list of Name, and select [ID] (a field name from main report) in the drop-down list of Value.
    Method2: Go to URL
    Right-click a report item to open the properties dialog in main report, click Action in the left pane.
    Enable Go to URL action, the URL below is for your reference:
    ="javascript:void(window.open('http://server_name/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2ffolder_name%2fsubreport_name&rs:Command=Render&parameter_name="&Fields!field_name.Value &"'))"
    For more information about Drillthrough, Drilldown, Subreports, and Nested Data Regions (Report Builder and SSRS), please refer to the following document:

  • Not possible to open/create a new connection within BT manager on Satellite M40

    Bluetooh manager is open and present in system bar.
    However it is never possible to open/create a new connection within bluetooth manager as it always say "bluetooh is not ready". Troubleshooting is required but no clear indication is available; button for wireless link is active and I am able to have wifi internet access at the same time.
    It is never possible to open access to a PDA or mobile phone for file transfer through bluetooth.
    Do i have to reload completely the bluetooth stack or is there another way to troubleshoot the bluetooh system?
    Thanks you for replying if possible.

    Remove the Bluetooth Monitor software if it is installed. Download the latest BT-stack v5.10.06 here:
    http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/redirect.php?page=pages/download.php
    and install it. Ensure that the wireless switch is turned on and the suitable antenna is selected.
    Press Fn+F8 key to select BT antenna. Selection menu only appears if WLAN and BT is inside.
    Read the following if you should still have some problems:

  • How can i open a TEXTPAD LINK in recent versions of firefox in a P R I V A T E window?

    No matter what i've tried in recent versions of firefox, i can ONLY open a textpad link in a private window with OLD VERSIONS of firefox, where a private window REPLACES non private window(s) !
    In later versions, private mode opens an ADDITIONAL window that is private, but the non private window(s) remain too.
    So when I right click on a link in Textpad to open it, it ALWAYS opens the link in the latest NON private window!!! Even if I get rid of the non private windows!
    I have tried Palemoon Browser(an optimized clone of Firefox) & no difference, unless I use old version 19.0.2 of that browser.
    If there was a way in the registry(via an addon or manual change) to make the latest vers of FF beHAVE like the much older version when going into private mode, that might be a quick fix.
    Have I stumped everyone? lol

    Well... even though there is a command-line option to open a new private window, there is no way to feed a URL to that window externally. Firefox will always open the URL in a new non-private window. It's not clear why it was set up this way.
    Previous discussion on possible workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/966772 How to open firefox 22 in private browsing and navigate an url from command line].

  • New page opens each time I click on a link instead of staying imbedded on the current page

    Each time I click on a link or delve further into a sight, instead of staying within that sight Firefox opens an entirely new page. At the end of just a few minutes of browsing, the page indicator along the bottom of my screen has dozens of open pages. I can't hit the 'back' button to go back in a sight because Firefox has already opened a new page instead.
    What is up with this and how do I get it to stop?

  • Is it possible to open "settings" from Air?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to open/ link to "general - > settings" from Air? (iOS in this case)
    I'm using native Facebook/ Twitter ANEs and it would great to present a "Go to settings" from my app, if FB/Twitter isn't installed.

    I am not sure.
    You are installing another completely different OS.
    I think you need a separate partition on a hard drive to install this.
    You maybe able to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine environment, within OS X, using something like VMWare Fusion, Parallels Desktop or the free, open source virtual machine called VirtualBox.
    OR, you need to install this on either a fast reading/writing  formatted USB 2.0/3.0 Flash drive or you need to purchase a fast external hard drive and install the OS on that drive.
    You don't post the specs of your iMac.
    If you decide to use an external hard drive depending on your iMac model, I would purchase a hard drive that connect, at least by FireWire 800. If a newer iMac, look into Thunderbolt connected hard drives or if you have a late 2012 or 2013 iMac, look at USB 3.0 connected external hard drives.

  • Is it possible to open Account Search window in a new page

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to open Account Search window in a new page instead of displaying Account Search on Work center page.
    Any pointers will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Udaya

    Have a look at the NavBar component and the generic workcenter component. If you are lucky, they utilize one common method for navigation. I would try to put some custom coding in there and use it to open the new link inside a popup.
    Never tried it before as the necessity never occured to me. Thus I can not help you any further. It is just an idea.
    Maybe you get some good results and can post them here
    cheers Carsten

  • Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in Adobe Digital Editions?

    Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in different windows in Adobe Digital Editions like Adobe Reader ?

    As far as I know, it isn't.
    You can run both ADE2.0 and ADE 1.7.2 at the same time, with different books open.
    Also Sony Reader (free download intended for Sony eReader users, but works even without) will let you have a third book open.
    ~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Open non browser link in new window

    Hi All,
    I know by "cmd opt click" you can open the selected link in a new window but is it possible to do that with a non safari link? For example an external link such as an ichat window or link from Mail. For anything not contained in the browser.
    Thanks.

    Something like this - maybe...

    DESCRIPTION
    ICeCoffEE lets you Command-click on URLs in Cocoa applications to launch them. It is modeled after ICeTEe, for classic Mac OS, which provided the same functionality in many Macintosh applications by patching TextEdit.
    Command-click anywhere in a Cocoa application's text area. Some Cocoa applications that come with Mac OS X include Stickies, TextEdit, Mail, and Network Utility.
    Control-click (or if you have a multi-button mouse, click with the right button) on a text area, and notice a "Services" menu at the bottom. This menu works the same as the Services menu in the menu bar.

  • Is is possible to open event lists from different tracks at the same time in Logic Pro 9?

    Is it possible to open event lists from two difference tracks in an arrangement at the same time in Logic Pro 9?
    When I switch between tracks the event list swiches as well. Thanks in advance.

    If you deselect the litte chain link icon in the event list window, it will no longer follow your region selection and you can openas many as you need. Also you can select multiple regions and see the inthe SAME window if you select to show multiple regions, and you can have the notes shown in their respective track colors.
