Open/get an URL in/from Internet Explorer?

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to pass a URL (eg."http://www.ibm.com") to Internet Explorer (or Netscape...)
Or also the otherway round - is it possible to get hold of the current URL in Internet Explorer. Say i was surfing the net and was on ibm.com could i suck this info out of IE from a java prorgam.

Basically, no you can't do this. However, if you've really got to, search the web for JSObject, which provides a link to javascript

Error message from Internet Explorer v8.0.6

My Muse test site is currently on Business Catalyst. The url is http://wfax-test.businesscatalyst.com — my client says that they get an error message from Internet Explorer version 8.0.6 "MuseJSAssert: error calling selector function: error: a security problem occurred". The good news is that this only appears on the "Schedule" page of the site. Any idea what it could be? My client is afraid for me to put the site online because of this error message.

Hi Artby,
In your page, you have a link to "http://[email protected]//[email protected]" (Saturday Afternoon at 3:00). This link is technically a valid link, but I'm not sure it is what you intended. If you where looking to create an email there, you should remove the http:// in front of the link and Muse should properly create an email link. If you were trying to go to a website, I'd recommend you check the URL again to make sure you have it right.
The link is throwing a security error because we have to do some extra processing for some of our links, so we check each of the urls and try to determine if there is extra logic we need. In this case, this link is telling the browser you'd like to "login" to the site qemi.org with the username "apostle". IE 8, by default, will block us from reading information from this type of link in case there is a password, or in case we shouldn't know the username. It is a security measure (thus the error) and should pose no risk.
If you did intend to have that URL, then this won't quite work at the moment in Muse. To work around this, you could pull out this small snippet into a custom HTML element or something, which Muse won't try and process (though you'd need to remove the class "nonblock" from the link if you copy/pasted the Muse export code).
Hope that helps,
Andrew

With firefox, how do I bookmark a new page into folder contained in From Internet Explorer?

i imported IE favorites into firefox bookmarks. my IE favorites contained many folders with different categoties of information......eg., folders for car repair, investments,etc. now that i am using firefox, how do i
bookmark a new page into one of the existing IE favorite folders? I have tried every option I could think of using the options shown when i click bookmark this page.......i am getting as far as FROM INTERNET EXPLORER, but i can't seem to find a way to reach one of the sub-folders within the FROM INTERNET EXPLORER folder? also, nothing is happening when i click on the star symbol to the right of the address space?

thanks for the suggestion....sounds good to Old Goofy! Before your response was received, I continued to fiddle with the popup box that appears when you click the "bookmark this page". in my fiddling, i noticed that at least once, a litlle small solid triangle appeared just before From IE....I clicked on that little triangle and voila, there were all my sub-folders under the main IE folder!!! Nowhere in all the old posted Firefox support had I seen I clear illustration of doing this......probably I missed it or I'm just a dumbie?
Meanwhile, if anyone is having all kinds of strange problems with computer, and no browsers including IE, with the exception of Firefox, are working properly, if you have Norton Security on your computer and it al;so is not working properly, UNINSTALL NORTON!!!!!!!!!!! That was my situation, to the extent HP free support was going to help me wipe the drive and try to put the computer back "as new", but using a different security program!!!!!

My Muse test site gets error message from Internet Explorer v8.0.6

My Muse test site gets error message from Internet Explorer v8.0.6

What's the URL of the page? Where is the site hosted (Adobe Business Catalyst or elsewhere)? How were the files uploaded to the server (Publish, FTP Upload from within Muse, external FTP client)?

How do I get the imported favorites to appear as normal and not in a subfolder called "From Internet Explorer"?

I successfully imported my favorites/bookmarks from IE to Firefox but they show up as a subfolder called "From Internet Explorer". Since I live on the computer 8 - 12 hours a day using my favorites that's additional clicks standing in the way of getting where I want to be...thus I keep going back to IE even though it doesn't work as well as Firefox....

You can drag them out of that folder (or use Cut & Paste) in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) to a more convenient position.

Adobe Reader 11 is unable to open PDF's from Internet Explorer 11

My boss is currently operating on the Adobe Reader 11 and often needs to use Internet Explorer 11 for certain programs.
Unfortunately the Adobe Reader is unable to open PDFs from Internet Explorer and often comes up with a message telling us that the file is either damaged, no longer exists or that there is a problem with the syntax. She does not have this problem with Google Chrome. We have tried several ideas regarding the security settings but nothing seems to correct the problem. Could someone shed some light on how to fix this error?

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

I just upgraded to Firefox 8 from Internet Explorer. Previously, I pulled up my emails from Start, Email-Microsoft Office Outlook. I get no response doing that now. How should I get my emails?

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

I am importing bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9. If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get the links in the subdirectory.

I am running Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7 Ultimate.
I am trying to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9.0.15.
If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get any of the links in the subdirectory.
This has not happened on my other computers:
Internet Explorer 8 under Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 9 under Windows 7 Professional

This incomplete importing sometimes happens for unknown reasons.
You can manually export your bookmarks from IE and then import them into Firefox using an HTML file as an intermediary format. This thread has the steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/835144 Only 1/3rd of my bookmarks imported from IE. How do I move the rest?]
Does it work?

When I go online to my bank my statments are unable to read as they get overlapped by the questions on the right, If I log in from Internet explorer the full page is shown, This is the same for the Daily Mail Rewards club.

I use Windows XP professional, When I use Firefox to go to my Barclay bank statements, they are unreadable as the page with the amounts on is partly covered by the Questions on the right of the page, I also have this problem with the Daily Mail rewards club, If I login to my account from Internet Explorer it works fine for both, this is without making any changes to my setup.

What you are experiencing is 100% related to Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

When I upload favourites from Internet Explorer I only get the first two follders (out of 20 or so )

I have followed the help folder instructions and have attempted the upload three times with the same result.

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites and the favorites won't end up in a "From Internet Explorer" folder, but will be appended at the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

How could I use FAVOURITES imported from Internet Explorer

I use Google Chrome. However I get adverts, which obstruct my work. As I cannot get rid of these adverts, I want to try Mozilla Firefox. I have imported favorites from Internet Explorer but I do not know how to use them. I do not see any button or icon for this purpose. I should be grateful for your help.

Web page have ads, and there are add-ons to suppress some of those if you find them troublesome.
Bad add-ons can inject additional ads into pages. Sometimes some "freeware" you install can include these ad injectors which then infect all of your browsers. If you suspect anything along those lines, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it sounds:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

Running SAPGUI from Internet Explorer....

Hi Gurus,
I would like to get the tech know-how of running SAP GUI from Internet Explorer. I am basically a functional consultant, but like to explore in both func. and tech. Please do reply if any option is there.. Thanks in Advance...
Regards,
Harish Haridas

SAP GUI doesn't run on IE. In case you want to know CRM Web UI, then you can run it from the transaction CRM_UI and then the browser will open on the IE, this transaction is available from CRM 7.0 onwards. Incase you are below that version please use the transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB and then test the component CRM_UI_FRAME.

Remove Office 2010 purchase message from internet explorer

I have a notebook and desktop computer and I use Windows Microsoft Office 2007, running Word, Excel, Publisher, Access etc, on both notebook and desktop computers with Norton 360
antivirus, both have used this system for the last 4 years.
Both computers came preloaded with Microsoft Office 2010 starter for Word and Excel which have never been used on either computer.
For the last couple of weeks every time I try to open any document on the notebook (this does not happen on the desktop) from Internet Explorer I get a Microsoft 2010 message saying ‘the Office product needed to open this file is not installed’ and offers
3 solutions: Activate office 2010; go online and purchase Office 2010; Try Office 2010 free for a limited time.
I have not used any of those options as I do not want to use Office 2010 and wish to continue with Office 2007, however there is no option to do so.
I can access Office 2007 manually on the computer but cannot open any document emailed or available online.
How do I get rid of this annoying notice coming up and et back to being able to use 2007 which has worked well for the previous years?

Hi,
Do you install any updates before getting this error message?
According to your description, file type associations is missing maybe caused by installing September 2013 Update. After installing this update, you may be unable to open files by double-click then or
the file type icons have changed.
If so, we can try these methods to fix this issue.
Right-click the file, select Open with > Choose default program, to
restore the file type association to the correct Microsoft Office application.
In some cases, you may need to repair Office 2010 from Control Panel > Programs and Features.
For more detail reference:
