Open link in users default browser instead of the AIR built in one

  Hi, i am creating an AIR application using Web thejnology(html,javascript and css). The problem is that i have a link and when clicking on it the link is opened in the AIR browser not in the users browser. Is it possible to open the link in the users browser? This is how i done it :  <a href="https://www.designersbookshop.com/" target="_blank" >Click here to visit us!</a>

To do this for all links, set the HTMLLoader object'snavigateInSystemBrowser property to true.

  • Windows 7 ffox 1.6.16 installed office 2010 intimated cannot open link outlook firefox default browser, firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart to get any response from firefox which then works but it crashes again. No error message

    Windows 7, firefox 1.6.16 just installed office 2010, sometimes cannot open a link in outlook and firefox is my default browser, and firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart computer to get any response which then works but after a while it crashes again. Was this due to an update or office 2010 has a hidden setting somewhere? Why would firefox crash without any message? Intimated consuming

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Open XML file with user default browser and not the default editor.

    Hi,
    I'm writing a java program that appends numerous XML files together. The result is a NEW well formed XML document. Since i have an XSLT that performs several UI modifications on this xml file, the file extension must remain '.xml'. I need to open this xml file with the users default web browser. The problem is that:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    ....opens the xml file with the users default program for opening xml files which in my case is Oxygen. I want to force java to open this xml file with the users default web browser and nothing else.
    I guess i need the Windows command to perform the 'open with' feature but i have no idea what that command is or how to find it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Varun Singh

    People do not often ask questions (or make challenges or observations) idly for the sake of 'theory'. It is most useful to explain to the best of your ability.
    As to
    "Since the Desktop class was only released with SE 6 I am forced to find another alternative. "
    There is an 'alternative'. You can import it into a 1.5 project. It was available as a free standing API before 1.6 - through JDIC. See [https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html|https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html] for more info.

    youy probably will have to force quit - wait long enough that you are sure no disk activity is taking place - if launching iPhoto does not work after the force quit Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • Opening linked documents in separate browser tabs

    How can I configure Adobe Reader to open a secondary PDF in a new tab from a primary PDF instead of the secondary replacing the primary in the same tab/window?
    If I use Foxit Reader with the same PDFs and the same IE the links from the primary PDF open in new tabs in IE.
    If I use Adobe Reader the links from the primary PDF open in the same tab and replace the primary.
    I'm using IE 8 and Adobe Reader 8.

    Hi,
    PCs with Internet Explorer are effectively opening Word within the browser using a Windows-only technology called OLE.
    There is a Word plugin but it's not a full featured Word document viewer.
    There are a couple of things that can be done to make life easier though. The simplest thing is that you can double click the icon in the Safari downloads window to launch the file, so there's no need to hunt down the file on your Desktop.
    Another more technical thing that can be done is to attach a Folder Action to your Desktop to instruct the Finder to automatically launch Word files as they are created there. I use the same idea to launch certain files from a work website.

  • Open web page in default browser

    I'm tryin to work with class URL and i want to open the default web browser with a http adresse.. How can i do that ?
    thank you very much

    However, the application developer almost certainly just wants access to a reasonable choice for the browser.But the user would probably be annoyed at a browser they don't use opening.
    If, for example, a Linux system has both Opera and Netscape, it's likely that Netscape is just a relic
    left over from the OS install while Opera is the user's first choice and could be considered
    the "default" browser.Or it's a multiple-user box, and at least one user prefers Opera.
    While no approach is perfect on Linux, we can certainly make some educated guesses and
    develop a solution that does a reasonably good job of finding and opening a browser.I think most Linux users would rather get a dialog box asking which browser they'd like to use. By all means use auto-detection to set the initial value, but let the user choose.
    You mentioned Firefox as one of them. <snip> If you know the specific cause or even just have a
    theory, it would be helpful to all to see it.It seems to be that passing "-console" as an option (I've been using it to debug the forum-improving Greasemonkey scripts) causes the problem. Without it, the invocation is handled as chosen in Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Tabbed Browsing.

  • "open link in new tab" fails; instead opens main page on which link was found

    "open link in a new tab" always worked great until recently. Now, on a number of sites--at least 1 of which is a game site--FF opens a new tab that duplicates the page on which I found the link. I can go to that new tab and click the link I want there, but I'd love to get this feature working like it did before.
    I have even tried using "copy link location" and pasting that location into the address bar of a new tab, but this, also, fails. I am completely at a loss to understand what's happening.
    I've asked others using the same web sites if they have this problem, and they've said no. So I'm pretty sure that the problem has something to do with a setting I've changed w/o realizing that this would happen.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Do NOT want to open link in a new browser window - iWeb '09

    I do not want links that navigate around my website to open a new browser window every time. Right now, for example, From my main page, I click a link to a secondary page, it opens it in a new window, I then click the link back to my main page, and it opens in a new window. I now have 3 windows open.
    I am not using the navigation bar as it set ups with iWeb (I have it hidden). I am using hyperlinks I attached to text boxes. Would this problem be remedied if I was using the navigation bar? If so, is there anyway to edit the appearance of the navigation bar and it's location on the page?
    Primarily though, I would like my text hyperlinks to just navigate my page and not open in new windows.
    Thanks!

    And that's the way it should be.
    If you look at this page about navigation you'll see that the main navigation uses eternal links and the sub navigation internal ones....

  • How do i ake the orignal Firefox my default browser instead of Firefox 4.0 Beta 1?

    I am on the Beta version of Firefox 4.0 and i want to go to the regular one but i can not,when i click the original one on my desktop it takes me to the Firefox 4.0 one,what do i do?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I clicked the one i wanted to go on

    Did you keep the original Firefox 3.6.6 version by doing a custom installation of the 4.0b1 version?
    If you only have a Firefox 4.0b1 shortcut on your desktop and not a Firefox 3.6.6 shortcut then you need to check that.
    If you no longer have the Firefox 3.6.x version then do a custom install of that version and make that version the default browser.
    See [[Custom installation of Firefox on Windows]]
    Download 3.6.x here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • IE it tries to make itself default browser instead of Firefox

    If a program starts IE it makes itself default browser. McAfee warns me and offers to change it back. Recent occurrence: I attempted to purchase Serif PagePlus updated version this started IE which then made itself default.

    Click the Firefox button, then Options | Options | Advanced.
    In the General tab, checkmark "''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup''" located in the System Defaults menu. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u#w_general-tab General Tab | System Defaults]

  • Msn has become our default browser instead of firefox when we ask for Firefox

    We have not designated MSN as our default browser and it keeps coming up as default. We find it irritating since it just makes more steps.

    http://msn.com might be your home page it is not a browser. Microsoft's browser is Internet Explorer. If you start in Firefox you stay in Firefox.
    Having msn.com as your home page, if that is the problem, still doesn't really explain how that makes more steps for you. So we have to assume what you want to do, or expect.
    Type '''about:home''' into the location bar, and if that is what you want for a home page then
    # Tools ("Alt + T") > Options > General
    # When Firefox starts: Show my home Page
    # Click on "Restore to default"

  • How do I make Firefox my default browser (instead of e.g. Internet Explorer)?

    When loading software that requires connection to the internet, they try to do so via Internet Explorer, which is not working. I want my default browser to be Firefox and change whatever settings are necessary to accomplish this.

    See Default browser -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
