Making web page widget in tiger

A friend of mine was wanting to make a widget that updated from a website. I think he saw the stuff in leaopard that will do that. Anyway I was wondering how one would do it in tiger. Would you have to know code? that kind of thing. Thanks.

  • Change src of iframe in web page widget (CP 8)

    Hi there.
    I would like to know how can I dynamically change the src attribute of <iframe> defined in Web Widget in CP 8.
    I have tried  many things (for example getElementsById() command, written as an action of CP button) but it didn´t work.
    I´ve heard about Web page Widget for CP 6, which enables dynamic changes of widget´s source through the CP variables.
    Is there any solution of this problem for CP8 ?
    Thank you for you answers.

    Ok.
    I have only one CP slide (I don´t want to use more slides for presentation),
    which contains 30 images (overlayed),some buttons (for stepping and showing images - back and forth. For these actions I use the variable and javascript Script_Window)
    and one Web Widget.
    For every image I want to view corresponding PDF file (increment/decrement variable => wiev image and change "src" of iframe in Web Widget at the same time).
    Switching images is no problem for me.
    Unfortunaltely, I don´t know how can I change the "src" attribute directly from Captivate and I don´t have much time to finish the project.
    I have tried to write external html file with its own javascript,variables and buttons and linked it to Web Widget.
    This works correctly(I mean switching PDF files), BUT when I try to call Captivate functions from this external JS (for example cp.show(),etc.), it doesn ´t work.
    Thank You for Your answers.

  • Web page widget for captivate5.5

    Hi,
    I have installed the web page widget as per the instructions.  I can able to drag the widget to my captivate project stage and I can able to give all kinds of inputs to the widget.  But none of them is not working.
    Please suggest me the how to over come this problem.
    I have downloaded this from http://CaptivateDev.com/.

    Lokesh V

    Hi Lokesh,
    If you read this article http://captivatedev.com/2010/11/05/adobe-captivate-5-web-page-widget/ there is a entry which you need to change after you publish it to Flash. Open .htm file in Notepad and change this entry and then play it.
    NOTE:  The published .htm file needs to have one change where the wmode should be set to “opaque” or “transparent” instead of “window”.
    1
    so.addParam("wmode", "opaque"); 
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Captivate 7 Web Page Widget misaligned - Transform Property

    I just upgraded to Captivate 7 and am using a Widget to embed Web Page content for the first time.
    The project looks fine when I preview it, but when I publish it and post it to our LMS (SumTotal Maestro), the widget appears skewed in the resulting course window, like the whole widget just shifted 60 pixels to the left and 30 pixels down.
    I have tried using multiple web sites, so I don't think that is the problem.
    There is the Transform Property, which gets set automatically when you drag the widget around the interface screen. On a hunch I moved the widget's Transform Property 60 pixels right and 30 pixels up. That worked, in that the updated widget looks better in the final published project. But now it's skewed both in the workspace and when I preview it, not to mention getting it precisely where it needs to be is going to be a process of moving a couple of pixels, publishing and seeing how it looks, then repeating.
    Has anyone encountered this? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that messes up the Transform property?
    Thank you!

    Here is the reply (in bold) I got from Suresh Jayaraman from Adobe when I logged this as a bug.
    "The issue you are facing has nothing to do with SCORM setting. Probably you might have heard about Click Jacking , One of the ways web sites prevent themselves from this attack is by not displaying when loaded in a Frame or iFrame. They achieve this by setting the X-Frame options. They website you were trying to load in Web object was Adobe forums which has this protection and it is the case with some other websites like Google.com, facebook.com as well. As Web object interaction on run time loads the website in an iFrame such protected websites when loaded doesn’t show up."
    "I have attached a test file which would help you to determine whether the website you are loading is Click Jacking protected or not. Change the website address and launch the page from a web server and if it loads all is well, it would load in your Web Object interaction as well. Now enable reporting and try the same page from SCORM.com and It should display the page."
    The test file he is referring to is a html file. Since I cannot attach the file here, I am copy-pasting the source code:
    <html>
       <head>
         <title>Clickjack test page</title>
       </head>
       <body>
         <iframe src="http://www.google.com" width="500" height="500"></iframe>
       </body>
    </html>
    To test, first I changed the website address in the above code to that of Adobe forums. When I had inserted this site in my Web Object interaction, this site failed to show up (see my previous posts). When I launched this test file shared by Suresh from a webserver, the result was same... the site did not open.
    Next, I changed the website address to http://infosemantics.com.au. This site worked in Web Object Interaction and it worked here as well.
    I did not test it in SCORM Cloud as I was convinced by the reason Suresh provided. (I hope I am not wrong.)

  • Software for making web pages?

    Hi,
    I'm sure this is probably posted in the wrong place so if someone will let me know where it should properly be posted, I'd gladly delete this and post somewhere else.
    I plan on writing an ebook by September 1 (hopefully). Which means I will need to:
    1. Create a webpage with some type of program for use with an iMac
    2. Create pdf document that can be sold from the web in ebook form
    3. Eventually I would like to add video and audio to the sales page (if that ever gets made, LOL. I'm a total non tech type person).
    So, I don't know if I can use anything on my iMac to create the audio or video, or even what software I would purchase. I'm an educator so that means I could get some hefty discounts on some Adobe products but not sure which ones would be good to begin with for creating a web page (other than the one with iWeb).
    While I certainly don't expect responses on all this, I guess my priority at this point would be numbers one and two.
    Thanks for your help,
    Lee
    P.S. Does anyone know if after you have not been on the forum for a while if you have to change your username, etc. to use the forum? For some reason or another I had to do that in order to get on even though I was logged in to my mac account.

    Just a word on the PDF point: Acrobat Pro can do a great deal. If you need it, you need it. If you don't need it, though, use something else. I say this not just because Acrobat Pro is expensive, although it is, but because it is also a complete pain. In, of course, my opinion.
    I have and use Acrobat Pro but I only use it when nothing else will do what I need. Otherwise, I use something else. Like I say, it depends on what you need.
    At the simplest level, you can create a PDF by "printing to PDF" from pretty much any application on your Mac. This is likely not enough for your needs but it is worth bearing in mind if you are not already aware of it.
    I've never created an ebook so I don't know what's involved and Acrobat Pro may be what you need. Just don't assume that because it can apparently "do it all" that it is the best choice for your needs. Even if expense is of no importance, that may not be the case.

  • Making web page remain the same size ....

    even when the browser window is reduced or enlarged...is there some code I can put in my css?

    heapster123 wrote:

    Yes -
    #wrapper { width:960px; }
    Then you build your entire page within a div#wrapper, e.g.,
    <body>
    <div id="wrapper">
    ...the rest of the page...
    </div>
    </body>
    Of course, you cannot put anything in that wrapper that is wider than 960px.

  • New Widget: Insert Web Page

    Here's a new free Captivate 5 widget to insert a web page into your presentations.  I will be submitting this for the Adobe Captivate Exchange.  In the meantime...

    Enjoy,

    Hi Jim,
    I have tried downloading a couple of your widgets and have had a couple of issues. Sorry about contacting you this way but your new web site will not allow me to email you it gives me an error message. Hopefully you will see this one and fix the email problem if it is something your end and possibly answer my query.
    I have just tried the widget to put variables into a url - I am using Captivate 5 and it tells me that I have all the updates installed, I set up a variable called testurl and set it to www.ladbrokes.com then inserted the widget on slide 1, used it on slide 6 and told it to go to $$testurl$$
    I published the project as a flash player 10 version and export to html. I copied the htm, swf and js file onto our intranet server, I then opened it using the correct url and played it. I got an error message saying page cannot be found with the url of http://www.ladbrokes.home/bs2000help/CSKB/$$testurl$$
    So what am I doing wrong? Is there an extra setting I am missing?
    Thanks for your help

  • I have the 60 day trial of .mac can I publish a web page, nothing is happen

    I thought I could try the .mac account free for 60 days and get to publish my web page, it gives the directions but says I have nothing in my pictures. I do, and I've tried adding more but nothing is working. I think maybe I just can't do it unless I pay. Any ideas??

    Someone told me :"iWeb, if you have it on your computer, is another way of easily making web pages, though it has its limitations.
    You can do all this with the trial of iDisk, and then move to a subscription if you want to, or let it lapse"
    So that's why I said iDisk, apparently that is included in my .mac...( sorry I'm so slow, but this is still all just words to me at this point. )
    Well, iDisk is not iWeb and will probably not get my web page created...right? And, I can't even get into iDisk because it keeps saying I have the wrong username and/or passcode and "that it will be sent in the clear" whatever that means. (Yikes for this much time lost it would be cheaper to pay someone. ) Anyhow, was that incorrect info??? and why can't I open my iDisk....and thirdly, any way to get a free trial of iWeb? since their is no way to create a site without it.

  • Web object widget (cp7) and TOC

    I am using a web object widget to launch MP4 videos (hosted on a progressive streaming server) within my captivate course. I am wondering if there is a way to accurately track the duration (in the TOC) for these videos. The duration displayed on the TOC is only for the captivate slide duration and does not include the video. Any suggestions?

    Hi BubbaRB and welcome to the forums.  I love it when people have great questions regarding integration.. and this is an area that Adobe Captivate needs to be better at!  It would be nice if the stock web page widget in Cp 7 had the ability to substitute Cp user variables in the URL to make for dynamic rendering of the web page, but unfortunately that's a limitation of the stock widget.
    The web page widget on CaptivateDev.com is capable of variable substitution in the URL.  You just need to enclose the variable with double dollar signs $$cpQuizInfoStudentID$$.
    http://captivatedev.com/2012/08/07/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-web-page-widget/
    This widget works for SWF and HTML5 output for Cp 6 and 7 and there's a free trial available.

  • Web Object Widget and replacing Variables in the URL

    I am using the new Web Object Widget in Captivate 7 and need some help with setting up the URL for the widget correctly.  If I hard-code a static web page address, the widget works fine.  The problems comes up when I need to slightly change the tail-end of the web address depending on who is taking the course.
    I need to dynamically append some variable information onto the web address that we will be calling such as:
    http://www.someplace.com/customizeforstudent.htm?Student_Name=$$studentName$$&Student_ID=$$studentId$$
    Is there any way to dynamically load the variable information into this widget when the student takes the course?
    I know that I was able to use the samples on captivatedev.com to do this web page variable replacement when I used JavaScript on a button so I know it can be done that way. 
    (see: http://captivatedev.com/2013/08/08/javascript-solution-launch-a-url-with-captivate-variabl es-as-parameters/ )
    The down-side of the captivatedev.com example is that it forces the web page to show up "outside" the course (either in a new window or it takes over the browser window the course is playing in.  I want to use the web object widget so I can stay "within" the normal flow of the course we are developing.
    I have been able to get the student name and student id from our LMS using JavaScript (thanks again to http://captivatedev.com).
    Whatever process we come up with needs to work not only with Flash, but also HTML5.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Are there any widgets availble for creating a to-read list from web pages?

    I frequently find myself wanting to read specific pdf's or web page content but not having the time to do it when I find them. It would be lovely to have an easy to use storage space for them on the dashboard as I frequently use it keep myself on task.
    I know there are a wealth of apps that can save pdf content for later viewing (yojimbo, evernote, etc ..) but I'm specifically wondering if there is anything that either integrates those tools into the dashboard or just has a stand alone widget.
    Having the ability to "send to" from any browser to this widget for easy transfer and possible storage would be key.

    I just hand code my HTML forms because I know what I'm doing.  But if you prefer to use the Insert Panel > Forms tab, you'll need to check out this HTML5 forms tutorial by David Powers.
    Making HTML5 Forms in DW CC (video)
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cc/html5-forms-workflow/
    Next, use CSS to style your form labels, legends, fieldsets, input fields and submit button.  See example below, view source in browser to see the code.
    http://alt-web.com/TEST/Basic-HTML5form-jquery.html
    Now that you have your HTML form, you need a script to gather, validate and process the form data.  Ask your hosting provider if they have a form-to-email script you can use.  Many hosts have scripts already on their servers which you can activate from your C-Panel or by referencing the script in your form's action attribute. 
         <form action="path-to-form-on-server/form-to-email-script.php">
    If your host doesn't have scripts you can use, find out which server-side programming languages your server supports -- PHP, ASP, ASP.net, Perl, etc..   This dictates what kind of scripts you can use.
    Ideally, you want to find a script that is a) secure, b) hides your e-mail address from robots and c) has built in spam prevention.

  • Firefox web pages often print with many extra spaces between letters, making the printout illegible and useless..

    When I try to print e-mails in Thunderbird and web pages in Firefox, the individual letters usually print (either to my laser printer or to Acrobat Distiller) with many spaces between each letter, making the printout nearly illegible and useless. Any thoughts? And settings that would correct this? (I never had this problem before the last few months, using earlier versions of Firefox and Thunderbird.

    about:config has many listings for each of my printers, but instead of starting with "print.print_printer" [naming the printer], most listings that name a printer start with "print_printer" or simply printer_[printer name]. I don't want to reset all the listings, not knowing beforehand if that would be advisable.
