Link to external URL won't work...why?

Should be the easiest thing to do, right?....
I have an ordinary button labeled "Start" In the button's properties:
Action>On Success: Open URL or file
http://www.dgs.ca.gov/orim/Programs/DDTOnlineTraining.aspx
Attempts: Infinite
It won't do anything when clicked. No error, no nothing. The URL is good and works in my browser. I've tried the "Current, New and Parent" settings also, but no difference.
The published files are located on our LAN. Could that be an issue?

Just found something interesting.
We have a link from our intranet to the CP page I made on our LAN. The troublesome button link is on the CP page.
When I launch the CP page from our intranet, the path is this:
\\accounts\dars\ORPPA\Training and Program Development\Online Training\homepage.htm
If I open that exact same file in the same location, but go directly to the LAN instead of thru the intranet the path is this:
S:\ORPPA\Training and Program Development\Online Training\homepage.htm
It's a network location that is mapped on my pc.
My button link does not work when using the first method, but it DOES work when using the second method. Makes no sense to me because once you're at the CP page, you are viewing the same file in the same location, only the route that you took to get there is different.
Ideas?

Touchgraph link browser right click won't work; jre 1.4.2_03 linux

touchgraph link browser right click won't work; jre 1.4.2
Wanted to mention that the touchgraph link browser(java client) client starts correctly in Redhat 9, but i found one problem when trying to edit links. The problem being that I can't open the small popup menu when i right click in linux RedHat 9. left clicking while dragging on a selected link (in edit mode) lets you create a new link both in microsoft windows 95a and in Redhat 9. When i right click in win95a, a small menu appears that allows me to edit a link, but this menu doesn't appear after right clicking a link in edit mode in redhat 9 (which does work with TG link browser in win95).
I tried using a 2 button mouse with 3 button emulation. I also tried to use a 3 button logitech trackball which works with the old logitech c7 setting in Redhat. I also tried to operate the mouse with it's three buttons using the number keypad in linux, which works in other applications under linux. The same problem still happens in trying all of these methods.
I was told that unix and windows use different "select," "extend," and "menu" buttons(in relation to the mouse).
Maybe, microsoft windows is using a different method of interpreting the right mouse button than redhat linux 9. if so, maybe there is a way to do this in linux (really, i have no idea how this could be done, but am open to try).
If there is a solution, i would appreciate knowing how to go about doing it. .
note: I am using Sun's java 1.4.2_04 in windows 95a and I am using Sun's java 1.4.2_03 in Redhat 9. Both are the most current, i just downloaded them recently.
note: touchgraph link browser is an open source java client and applet under the GNU general Public License. I think that the source code was included with the binary. I am using touchgraph link browser v 1.20 . I downloaded from sourceforge.net
in google i found the following:
https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/advanced-java/1999-September/000532.html
note: mara, you helped me before when i was practically installing redhat 9 and i had a problem with the installation and you mentioned that it was a faulty cd-rom drive. with your help, i am enjoying in learning about linux for the past 5 months since your answer helped me install redhat 9 successfully. Thank you very much since my very first question to you.
Answer Hello,
I downloaded the program and, if I think of the right situation, the right-click doesn't bring a menu for me. The thing I noticed is that when I drag a new link and (with left mouse button pressed) press right button it has an effect of 'canceling' the link. That's why I think that right mouse button works correctly. The problem is why the menu does not appear.
I can see two reasons, both causing problems not easy to solve: bug in the program or incompatibility between Windows and Linux java versions. The second one should not happen.. but it doesn't mean it's impossible. A bug in the program should be easier to find, but not by me (with not very big Java experience it'd take me several days).
What I'd do in your place is to mail the program developers (or report a bug). It won't make things worse, but can fix things.
Sorry that I can't help more

External microphone won't work on Macbook Pro

My external microphone won't work on my Macbook Pro.
My mic is an SE2200 A, and I'm pluggin that into a Behringer Eurorack UB802 (with Phantom power). This is then connected to a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter so I can plug it into my Macbook Pro.
If I plug this directly into my Macbook Pro into the headphone socket (which I've been told doubles up as a mic socket), and go to Settings -> Sound -> Input, the mic does not appear on screen at all.
If I plug it into a 3.5mm to USB adapter, and plug it into a USB port on my mac, then the USB PnP Sound Device appears on the Settings -> Sound -> Input, but no sound is picked up.
Could any suggest why this isn't working?
thanks

You have to use a cable that will break out the 3.5 mm TRRS jack into mic, L, and R.
I haven't found the right wiring yet and the cables I have tried don't seem to work.
See this post: What is the wiring digram on the MacBook Pro 3.5 mm TRRS jack?

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

External speaker won't work

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8310 and the external speaker won't work. I don't get any notification of calls, texts, etc. I had a new external speaker put in but that didn't fix the problem. Anybody have any ideas of what else could be wrong? My phone is no longer under warranty, so AT&T will not replace my phone.

The same thing happened to me. Go to Applications and then the Utilities Folder and then open the Audio Midi Setup app. Make sure the default output and system output are set to the built in output. The same symptoms happened to me when I ad reset those options to an aggregate device I created for some simple music production. Setting the above setting back to the defaults made everything better.

I feel like a rookie but, can someone tell me how to create links to external URLs in Muse?

I want to attach the link to text which gives the name of the site. I am not an idiot, just unfamiliar with the program. I have looked through the learning videos but cannot find anything that specifically relates to my question. I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you, in advance, for any assistance.
Sue

I am unable to open the screen shots as I keep getting a message saying that I am not using the correct program. Can you tell me which program I should use? Thank you.

External display won't work on Window

Hi can anyone please help me in this? when I using window XP, my external display won't display out but when I'm using MAC OS X it work well, why? please help... Thanks

I can only help if you are using an NVidia graphics card, as with that you can use the NVidia Control Panel to setup the external display.
Connect the display
Start NVidia Control panel
Select the Display icon
Then select Change Display Configuration
There you can set the resolution, extend the screen or create a copy et.c.
Hope that helps...

External Mouse Won't Work

Whenever I plug in an external mouse via USB, it never works. I have tried Apple mouses and non-Apple mouses but none of them work. The only mouse I can get to work is my Apple wireless mouse via bluetooth. And I have tested the USB ports with USB drives and the USB ports do work properly. Just mouses that won't work. I have rebooted into the boot menu and the mouse works there but not in Mac OS X which is why I think it's a software issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Make a new account and see if the mouse works in that account. If it does, go to /Users/(yourusername)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist. Don't see why it shouldn't work.

Linking to external URL using POST from a button in APEX

APEX Experts
Does anyone know how to link to an external URL using POST rather than GET behind an APEX button? I'm pretty sure there must be a javascript call but I'm a real newbie to both APEX and Javascript.
Also does anyone know why APEX decodes an encoded URL before sending it out and how to stop it?
Thanks
Deborah

I did something similar recently but it was in .NET.
Hopefully someone else here can help you do with Apex and Oracle. I am new to both.
To POST instead of GET is not as easy as it sounds.
What I did was open a new window where I outputted a dynamically created form. I would think that you would do that by using the pl/sql web toolkit to call a procedure and output the form using htp.p. You may also be able to do it with Apex (I think they are built using the same tech).
Basically, your proc would look something like this:
htp.p('<html><head>');
htp.p('</head><body onload="document.FORM.submit();">');
htp.p('<form name="FORM" method="POST" action="www.UrlToPostTo.com" >');
htp.p('<input name="PostVar" type="hidden" value="' || MyValueToPost || '">');
htp.p('</form></body></html>');
So, it creates a html page with a form. When the page loads, it runs the javascript to submit the form to the other site. You can add in as many post items as you need. I marked them as hidden so that the user only sees a blank page briefly before the form is submitted.
I am sure there is more to it than that, but it gives the general outline of how to post to another site dynamically. Hopefully someone else can fill in the rest.

Linked text inside table won't work - please help!

Inside a 3 column table, I linked some text to a file in a different folder but the same site, and the links won't work. I have linked text in a table before and it worked. I don't know if it's the table properties that is wrong or something else I've done, but I've read everything I can find and cannot come up with the reason why my links won't work. can you help me?

Sorry! I should have done this first:

External URL Processing not working correctly

Hi All,
I'm building and application where JSF engine will process external URL and take the user to the destined Detail page.
The user can reach this detail screen in two ways:
(1) Either login on to the system and navigating through the links.
(2) Or directly from the email-URL link
My concern relates to point 2 :
The user clicks some URL(http://localhost:8080/bt/someaction.faces?id=123456) in e-mail that will log the user into the system directly and then show the Details of the request. The details page has also other links. As I have learned recently - I'm using a ViewHandler class that overrides the createView method of the base Class com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl. In this method for the passed request (in this case someaction.faces) I'm first processing userInformation(using cookie) and then calling return super.createView(fc, "/authdetails.jsp");
(authdetails.jsp being the details page.)
Now whenever I reach this authdetails.jsp by clicking the email URL, the subsequent links in the details page gets distorted. No matter which link(all the links are appended with "?id=123456" string) I click in the details page - instead of navigating to some other page it is opening up the same details page (by calling the DeatilsPageBean constructor) and showing a details page without any data.
However whenever I reach the details page from Login screen it is working fine.
Do I need to do some special configuration in faces-config.xml for correct processing of external URL.
Please let me know whether my approach is correct.

As an aside, let me say this:
IT IS WORKING PERFECTLY IN NETSCAPE 7.1 but not in IE 6.0.
i.e. When user clicks the link in email URL he is taken to details page. The details page has other links. When user clicks these links in Netscape 7.1 it is working fine and going to the destined pages, but not in IE 6.0.
I'm at a loss what to do!

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.
Best regards,
christian
