Open Local HTML file in app browser?

Hi,
We have a question, we would like to link to a local HTML file form within a DPS article, we need the HTML file to open up in the in-app browser; we cannot use a web content overlay for this particular feature. We are able to achieve this easily with content from an online source by creating a Go To URL link with the website in the URL section.
Can this be done form the HTML resource folder and can this be tested in the adobe content viewer?
Or even better can we easily link to a local folder using the Go TO URL with a local file path? If so what would this be?
Thanks

Yes, you can open an HTML file in an in-app browser by adding the HTML file to the HTMLResources.zip. Create a button with a Go To URL action that looks something like this:
HTMLResources/HTML_Local/index.html
Make sure that you create your HTMLResources.zip file properly and upload it to the folder. You can test this in the Adobe Content Viewer on either the iPad or the Desktop as long as you preview the folio (not the article or layout).
Basically, you use the same technique to link to the HTML file that you use to link to PDF files. For details, see the DPS Tips app > Advanced Overlays > Linking to PDF Files.

Opening local .html files on iPad

I have created a personal homepage that I have loaded on my Macs at home. Any way I can use this file on my iPad 3?

It is possible to open local HTML files in Safari on iPad2. Easy!
Open your Safari.
Touch Bookmark icon for a little while.
A dialogue box appears with "/var/Mobile" title.
Go to "Applications" > your app (iFile, GoodReade or whatever yours) > Documents.
And you are there. Open your HTML files.
Now you can go anywhere to and fro without problem.
It is FTP:///.
If need later, Bookmark that.
With Loving-Kindness!

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files (with .htm or .html extensions). It fails on files that previous versions of Safari opened. Firefox continues to open them. Any suggestions?

Turn this option off:

Can't open local html file

I use Sapphire Report Navigator to generate report. It generates html files to the local computer and uses the browser to open and display the file. Here's the address bar of one of my reports on IE and it works fine on it:
C:\Program Files\VeriFone\Sapphire Management Suite\1.10.04 1272012\Sapphire Report Navigator\cache\30\period\2\2014-09-11.342\Summary.html
but if I make Firefox default browser and run that report several tabs opens. I think spaces on local path creating that problem. Here's the sample address bar
Tab1: file:///C:/Program
Tab2: Files/VeriFone/Sapphire
FYI: I'm using firefox 32 on win 7 32-bit
Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

I can open those file manually that's not a problem. That application triggers default browser to open and display those html file after processing report. I'm having issue in that. IE works fine but i'm having problem on Firefox.

Why won't FireFox open local .html files (when using "open file")?

I teach hand coding and use FireFox to grade my students work. I also tell them to use this browser to review their own work. If they cannot navigate to their files on their desktop I will have to switch to another browser. I know it is something from the latest version... as I have been using FireFox for the last 5 years as my classroom browser of choice.

Firefox should still be able to open files using open files.
I use Windows so things may differ slightly but the option to open files is available but not visible by default, I can get the option to browse for files using: keyboard keys'''Alt , F , O'''
My directory structure and path may differ slightly but I am also able to key directly into the location bar something such as '''''file:///C:/'''''
A third option would be simply to click on the relevant HTML file and use the option to open, or open with Firefox. Such files may also be bookmarked.

Opening Local HTML Files

I'n building a simple html viewer using Java, but I'm not sure what to use to display local html pages. I've used JEditorPane before to build a web browser, but I'm not sure how to use that to view html pages stored on the local hard drive. The setPage method in JEditorPane only takes a url, so does that mean I can't use it with local html pages? Thanks in advance for any help.

The Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html]How to Use Editor Panes contains example on how to read local html pages.

Many fonts don't render when Firefox opens local html file

I'm using a 3rd-party program called Fontlist. It reads all fonts in the Windows fonts folder, and then uses a user-chosen line of text to generate an html file on the hard drive that shows the line of text displayed in each font. Since it's a 3rd-party program, I don't have control over it's html programming.
When the generated html file is browsed with Internet Explorer, all fonts display correctly. When browsing it with Firefox, perhaps half or more of the fonts have an ordinary-looking backup font substituted. I've not been able to discern any pattern as to what kind of font displays correctly or does not.
In researching the problem online, I saw a hint that setting security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy to false might fix the issue. I tried it, and it did not have any effect. Also, in the Fonts and Colors Advanced option, I've checked the box to let web pages choose their own fonts.
Might there be any other settings that would enable Firefox to render virtually any industry-standard font installed on the system? This can affect any html files from 3rd-party sources, not just Fontlist.

Do the font-family names that have a space have quotes around them?
*font-family:"Aldine 721";
See also:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-family
<blockquote>Font family names must either be given quoted as strings, or unquoted as a sequence of one or more identifiers. This means that punctuation characters and digits at the start of each token must be escaped in unquoted font family names.</blockquote>

How do I open a HTML file in a browser from fx

I have an application I wish to run on a desktop. I have used many of the features of fx to make it easy to use and now, with 1.3, I am adding tooltips for additional help. However, I would like my customers to be able to deploy the html Instruction Manual from within the application. The only examples I can find involve changing the rt.jar file somewhere. Is there an easier way and would I have to provide my customers with this updated rt file.
abg

Ah, you are right, I forgot this "detail"... :-) Sorry for that.
Searching again, I found a thread here pointing to the [Bare Bones Browser Launch for Java|http://www.centerkey.com/java/browser/] which doesn't need Java 1.6 (not tested).
If it works well for you, just tell us! ;-)

Open an html file locally

Hi,
I have started developing with iPhone less than one month ago. Im still following tutorials and guide books and in one of them I learnt how to open in Safari an URL with openURL.
I was just wondering if it is possible to open a local HTML file with openURL, I mean; I have a simple,static HTML file, added to my Resources folder in Xcode. Then, I try to open it using openURL but it seems that either it is not possible or I am not referencing the file properly. I have used these two options:
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
and
- (NSString *)dataFilePath:(NSString *)fileName
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
return [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingString:fileName];
filePath = [self dataFilePath:@"test.html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
With both options I get a reference to my .app file, but I want the .html file in it.
Is it possible to do what Im trying?
Thank you and regards.

file:// appears to be a valid URL scheme on the simulator, but it is not on Safari Mobile. My guess is that Safari Mobile does not have access rights to the bundle's files.
Thus:
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"readme" ofType:@"html"]];
NSLog(@"URL is: %@",fileURL);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:fileURL];
works on the simulator, but gets this:
Thu Oct 22 08:21:58 unknown com.apple.debugserver-43[104] <Warning>: 1 [0068/1603]: error: ::read ( 7, 0x28091c, 1024 ) => -1 err = Bad file descriptor (0x00000009)
on the real device.
I can't find it specifically in the Doc, but my guess is that this behavior is intentional.

Opening an HTML file stored locally

Hello fellows,
Is it possible to open a locally stored HTML file using Acro javascript?
If, yes, how to make Acrobat/Reader open the HTML file only once, when the rights-enabled PDF is opened for the 1st time?
Thank you for your responses in advance!

Reader cannot open HTML files even manually. You can use JavaScript in Acrobat to convert an HTML file to PDF, but only from a privileged context: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.164.html

Send local html files to Browser

I have a Servlet program which can send any HTML files located on the computer which Tomcat is running to client browser. The HTML files are not necessarily in Tomcat's "webapps" folder. My method is quite simple. Read the content of the local HTML file and write it out through HttpServletResponse object. But there is problem that if the HTML file includes images, the images don't appear in client browser. Is there a way to send those images to client browse as well? Thanks in advance.

Well, this is just an idea, but:
You would probably have to create a new Servlet, that will identify the image type, set the correct content type (response.setContentType("image/gif") for example). It would have to get a binary InputStream to the image and copy the input to the output stream in the response(use the getOutputStream and not getWriter...)
In your HTML writing servlet you would have to scan each line for an <img ... > tag parse out the source and replace it with the image servlet.
Locating the image may be problematic if it is not given in absolute "file://" url. You may need to scan for a <base> tag in the HTML as well, or use the HTML page's directory for the path in which to find the image... but it could come in more complicated then that depending on how complicated the HTML was written (ie, for a server with multiple hosts, or with aliased paths...)
Or, you might be able to write a filter that looks for images(*.gif *.jpg) and sends the request to your image servlet....

I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file.

I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file. An error appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Why wouldn't it just open on my default browser? Thanks for the help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

FF 10: cannot load local html files by dragging to FF; links in email don't open

Just upgraded to FF 10. I cannot open a local html file by dragging it to to FF, or by clicking the file name. Clicking the file name brings up an error message: There was a problem sending the command to the program. Dragging just shows a circle with a slash.
I can open a local file by typing "file///<file location>" in the location bar.
Also, clicking a link in an email to any site does not open the site.

Hi,
Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox this]. You can start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] to check if an add-on is causing the problem. You can also try to '''Open with''' by right-clicking on the HTML file and choose Firefox and enable '''Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'''.

Opening up a local html file

From within an authorware exe file I want to open an local html file.
It can't seem to find it even though I put the relevant files in the same folder currently C:\EP
here's my code:
JumpFileReturn("\\EP103\\pe16\\pt1\\page_01.htm", "", "")

Try JumpOutReturn("",FileLocation^"myfile.htm")
Or JumpOutReturn("",FileLocation^"MySubFolder\\MySubSubFolder\\MyFile.htm") depending on the file hierarchy.
This should work.
