Open external web browser

Hi,
Is there a way to open a web page in the default external browser without using system specific command. i.e. I want users to be able to click on an icon in my gui and be redirected to a web page in MS Explorer.
Thanks,
Stephane

In an applet you can use getAppletContent().showDocument()
Here's a link to what you don't want to do

Opening a web browser from an After Effects script

Hi,
This may be a stupid question, but is there any way to open a web browser with a URL from an AE script, other than explicity lanuching the browser app via a sys.callSystem() command?
I'm asking because obviously scripts need to run on both Windows and MacOS, and the user's default/preferred browser isn't necessarily going to be IE or Safari. That and I'd need to find the file path of the browser anyway somehow.
It's to display external help.
Thanks,
Christian

system.callSystem() can launch a URL without specifying the specific app. This code user's default browser. The last line is the main deal, the other stuff keeps it universal for PC and MAC.
//CHECKS FOR USER OS
function osCheck(){
          var op = $.os;
          var match = op.indexOf("Windows");
          if(match != (-1)){
                    var userOS = "PC";// User is on PC
          }else{
                    var userOS = "MAC";// User is on MAC
          return userOS;
// RUNS OS CHECK FUNCTION
var userOSVer = osCheck();
//DEFINES PC OR MAC TERMINAL SYNTAX
if(userOSVer == "MAC"){
          var urlLaunchCode = "Open";//Mac based
}else{
          var urlLaunchCode = "Start";//PC based
//ONCLICK FUNCTION FOR YOUR URL BUTTON CONTROL
//urlLaunchCode = Open or Start / " " = keeps a space character separator / "http://myurl.com" = Defines the actual URL path
myURLButton.onClick = function(){system.callSystem(urlLaunchCode + " " + "http://forums.adobe.com/thread/993523?tstart=0")};

I want to ask about my phone nokia 5130c xpressmusic.
I have some problem in my mobile.
I cannot open application, web browser(default nokia), radio, and music player.
How to solve that problem?
thank you for your answer and attention.

What does it say if you want to open the application? I think you should restore the factory settings!!!! If it doesn't work then update your software!!!!

When I open a new tab, an unwanted website opens instead of my desired home page. THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE WITH NEW TABS; (opening the web browser AND clicking on the home button frings me to my desired home page.)

How to open a web browser from java

Hi
Would anybody please help me with this. I need to open a web browser from my java app but I don't know. What method I can use?
Thanks.
Hung.

You can use the Runtime class for this. It can run any command. So, you can run the .exe file of your Web browser.
The following code will run Internet Explorer (assuming iexplorer.exe is in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer):
import java.lang.Runtime;
public class Explore{
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore");
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);

Opening a web browser from a Java prog

I am writing a pseudo-wordprocessor, and would like to be able to set a JMenuItem's action so that when a user clicks it, the system default web browser opens with the web page that I have selected. (e.g. open up a "Help" web page).
The JavaDoc/tutorial doesn't seem to have anything on running external programs from within a Java program, so does nayone know how this is done?

If you don't want to go the Java Runtime route and make your program a bit more cross-platform friendly, you could use the JEditorPane to render an html page directly in your application (assuming of course that you're using Swing).

How to open a web browser from an windows phone app

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Windows Phone 7, and now what I am trying to do is to create a simple app. When a user click to start this app, a browser will open and show the content of a webpage from a specific address.
I tried to use a webbrowser object, but it seems like that doesn't sport cookies. So I need my app to open a real web browser (maybe IE mobile) to do the job.
Thank you.

copying from stackoverflow: "If you want to embed a browser window inside your application then use the WebBrowser control. Add an instance of the WebBrowser control to your form then you can reference it in code using the name you
give it. (Default name is "webBrowser1")"

I do not know if you have Text Animations in your project? If yes, probably you are having issues due to the latest Flash Player. There is a hotfix to be found in this Captivate blog post:

Force a pdf to open in web browser

Is there a way to make a media (pdf file) open in a web browser rather then download?

To do that you'd have to change the mime type on the response which you
can't do.

How can I stop Quicktime movies opening my web browser?

Sorry if this has allready been brought up but I spent an hour searched the forums for an answer (And longer on google).
My issue is that certain unsavory people seem to be exploiting an ability of quicktime to launch the default web browser and goto a page they designate. This unfortunately mean often I will download a movie (Named something it isn't typicly), run it and suddenly have 10 internet explorer windows pop up opening assorted **** sites, sites demanding spyware and malware installations and on at least one occasion site containing scripts to automaticly install a virus on loading.
I'd like to how I can prevent this from happening short fo outright not using quicktime. Is there an option to disable a movies ability to link to web pages or a feature to block their attemtps to do so?
Thanks.

No. I don't have any viruses or spyware and I havn't been hijacked either. Look a little background on me, I work in tech support dealing with such issues for a living. Regardless I've had this happen on brand new computers I've set up and for the sake of been thorough in eliminating that idea as a possibility I followed every step and recommendation your links gave me and they turned up nothing.
The problem is a function of certain .mov files which basically activate an imbeded hyperlink within the file, opening the default browser and loading whatever site the link lead to. If I could find a tame one that didn't send you to pornographic sites etc. I'd be happy to host it for you to test out yourself but frankly the only .mov files I've seen that do it are usually **** films themselves named something else (For instance one was named SydneyOlympics2004Opening) with the intention of luring unsuspecting victims into downloading them and running them in quicktime forcing them to load all these malicious pages. It's fine for me on my home network where the security settings are setup so hazardous sites can't actually do anything and the addition of pornographic images to my temporary internet folder has no concequences but at work that could get you fired and heavily fined in goverment employment.
On a side note how another program could respond to a .mov file playing in quicktime opening web pages specific to that file and at set points in the movies timeline is beyond me. It would have to be a plugin for quicktime.

Adobe Acrobat documents continue to open in web browser...

Hi,
I have a situation with
Web application general setting "Browser File Handing" set to strict in the general settings. Also tried changing to permissive, does not help.
Site collection "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" feature Enabled
Document library advanced setting "Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents" set to Open in the client application.
The documents still open in the browser. Any suggestions? Can serverfiles.xml help?
Regards,
Arsalan.

There is no server-side solution. This is a client-side application configuration. It is basically an ActiveX plugin that Adobe Acrobat installs to handle opening documents in the browser, SharePoint has no control over it.

Download Manager Not Opening In Web Browser

Operating System:
- OS X (10.4.8)
Web Browser(s) Affected:
- Safari v2.0.4 (419.3)
- Mozilla Firefox v2.0
Description of Problem:
When attempting to download a file, the download manager fails to open and the file is instead sent to the browser as a URL.
Example:
When clicking on http://www.website.com/foobar.dmg instead of download manager opening and transferring the file to the local drive, it is instead opened in a new browser tab/window as a URL and is never downloaded.
It does not matter whether the file is dmg, tar, zip, etc. This happening in both my Safari and Firefox browsers (which makes me think it's something OS specific).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
SoulGrind

Hi SoulGrind,
It does not matter whether the file is dmg, tar, zip, etc. This happening in both my Safari and Firefox browsers (which makes me think it's something OS specific).
Or possibly plug-in specific? Did you happen to install SpeedDownload at some point as this sounds like the symptom of a bad install.
Try uninstalling SpeedDownload via the installer file over at http://www.yazsoft.com/sitepages/download.html - it has an uninstall option. To download it, you should be able to right click/control click on the file link to obtain the file.
Good luck!
