Opening Internet Explorer from Air Iframe

This probably has been answered here before and I apologize if this is a repost but I haven't been able to find an answer that works.
I have an AIR application that uses an Iframe to connect to a server side page. within that page I need to be able to click a link and launch an Internet Explorer Browser NOT an Air window.
I have tried several methods and none seems to work,
does anyone have a sample (both the parent and child frames) that they know works ,
It will save me allot of headache
I truly appreciate it
Ray

Thanks but I would need the complete code.
You see I want to open a particuler page from a link, the link will call, lets say homepage.jsp, I want to include an applet in homepage.jsp that will force the page to open up in a IE window. Is that possible????
If it is what do I need to do?
Thanks

How to open Internet explorer from java

how can one open internet explorer through java and also displays the desired webpage in it.

p = r.exec(runie);Whenever you use exec on a Runtime object, you need to get an InputStream off the System.err output. If this InputStream is not absorbed in some way, then it can stop the process. The process may not reach its destined finish point. The Java Documentation does not inform you of this, though experience will give you some unanswered questions, such as 'Why does this process never reach the finish point'.

Opening Internet Explorer from a link w/ applet

Hi there,
I was wondering if anybody out there had the code for an applet that will spawn Internet Explorer application and open up a specific address.
How we want it to work. From a link open a page that will spawn Internet Explorer with the help of the applet. Is it do-able or not?
A quick response would be great.
Thanks

Thanks but I would need the complete code.
You see I want to open a particuler page from a link, the link will call, lets say homepage.jsp, I want to include an applet in homepage.jsp that will force the page to open up in a IE window. Is that possible????

How can I open Internet Explorer from Forms?

I could manage to open IE with HOST giving it the correct path from IE in my computer.
But how can I find out what directory IE is? Should I use OLE2? If yes, then how do I use it?
Thanks,
Ariadne

I thinck that the path doesn't matter...
Using Host('start http://www.oracle.com') will work no matter where IE is located

Problem in Opening HTML Page in Internet Explorer from my Swing Application

Hi,
I am opening a HTML file in Internet Explorer from my swing application.I am using the code given below
private final static String WIN_FLAG = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private final static String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
String cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
// url is HTML file Path
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
Here there are two things i need to address ...

2)Whenever i trigger action to open different HTML page,it opens in new Internet Explorer window.
I need to open it in same IE window.
how to solve out these problems ??? any help would be greatly appreciated .Thanks in advance.

Message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer" in blue bar. Why

First time user. Instructions on how to use not clear. My problem is the message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer?" suddenly appeared in blue bar. Occurs with I click on links in PDF. What caused this? How to fix? How to avoid it from happening again?
Same conflict with email links, just different message: "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open mail?"
Goal: Do not want to switch apps and do not want to be asked this question.
Environment: Windows 8, file developed in Publisher 365, Reader 10 "I think"

Pat
Thank you for responding. I have recreated the error, but cannot figure out how to use Snipping Tool to get screenshot of a Windows 8 panel. Have the tool placed in the tool bar, but tool bar not accessible on the PDF display. Any suggestions?

How to open Internet Explorer files?

I have a bunch of Internet Explorer files that I transferred from my old OS 9 iMac. Now, it seems, I can't open any of them. These are web pages I saved for research purposes, and I would really like to open them if at all possible. It was suggested that Opera 9 could open Internet Explorer files; but, I tried that and it didn't work. Does anyone know how I might do that?
Carl Kalwaitis

Archives that you saved with Internet Explorer can only be opened by Internet Explorer.
These are essentially a single file that contains the entire site.
Other browsers save files, pictures, and supporting information in a folder for each page you save.
But, Internet Explorer wraps all that into a single file (a web archive). This format is naturally only compatible with Internet Explorer.
You need to get the latest version of Internet Explorer for Mac OS X.
Microsoft has officially abandoned this browser. So, they are not offering it or supporting it anymore.
But, you can still locate a copy for downloading at:

Hope this helps.

When i run firefox setup all that shows up on my pc four shortcuts that open internet explorer

I downloaded and saved firefox set up and when i ran it a window showed the extraction but then nothing happened. i searched for mozilla and found only 4 shortcuts that open internet explorer.

If your Firefox is in FullScreen '''press F11 key''' OR move your Mouse cursor to the top of the window, right-click and Remove Checkmark from '''Hide Toolbars'''
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select '''Menu Bar''' and '''Navigation ToolBar'''
-> press '''CTRL + B''' for '''Bookmarks Sidebar'''
Check and tell if its working.

How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
The web site that I'm trying to access
There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Enable the Develop menu.
Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7

Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].
thank you

Cannot print documents after I downgraded internet explorer from version 8 back to 7.

Hello, Due to internet problems, I recently changed my internet explorer from Beta version 8 back to version 7. Everything on my PC seems to be working fine except for printing. I cannot print to my HP officejet J5780 all in one. When I try to print an error message shows up in the print queue and it says printer offline. The printer was set as default but I wonder if something was modified in the print setup when I reverted back to an older version of Explorer. If I try to deinstall/reinstall I get an error saying I could permanently damage the printer configuration. Also if I try to check HP drivers and software on the HP website it says I need to update but fails to download the necessary files. Please advise.

first thing to check is make sure it is still a default printer
and go to properties and check for the port and make
sure it say what the port your printer that it is using
like a pareled or usb or TCP\IP connections
and if the TCP\IP check for the correct IP of the printer
and you may want to set the printer to "static"
this will keep it from changing IPs
and you may have to uninstall and reinstall
the printer
download the file manually
make sure you know where it is saved at
for IE click save not run
for Fire Fox but first go to the tool
and click option and look in the main tab
in the middle of the box click the circle
"Always ask where to save the file"
and make sure you know where you put
the download at
