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.

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:

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
Daydream

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.

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.

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>

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

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.

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.

Parse local HTML files

Hi,
I want to parse local HTML files.
Is there another way than using the Internet Explorer($ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application";) (without relaying on external packages)?
At the moment I do something like that:
$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application";
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
$ie.Navigate($srcFile)
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
$ParsedHtml = $ie.Document
foreach($child in $ParsedHtml.body.getElementsByTagName('table'))
I still want to have the methods like 'getElementById()' or 'getElementByTagName()'.
With my current approache, the performance is not realy good and it seems that the iexplorer.exe process is not terminating at the end of the script.
Also it seems to have sideeffects with running internet explorer instances (from GUI) - not working to start IE in powershell sometimes.
Last time I also have a hanging script, not continuing till i manually terminate the iexplorer.exe process.
The error was:
Exception calling "Navigate" with "1" argument(s): "The remote procedure call f
ailed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)"
At D:\Scripts\Run.ps1:529 char:14
+ $ie.Navigate <<<< ($src)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
so I would prefere a method parsing HTML without IE.

Hi John Mano,
Please also try to Parse local HTML files with
System.Xml.Linq, the script may be helpful for you:
Using PowerShell to parse local HTML files
I hope this helps.
XML?
I thought HTML is not compatible with xml.
And as I don't know LINQ good ...
Ok, I'll give it a try. later.
I can't answer the question about other ways to parse HTML, but to close your IE session you should do the following:
$ie.Quit() # this terminates the IE process
$ie = $null # this frees the COM object memory
Thanks for that.
I now use that, but seems to be still some IEs open ...
Maybe a path missing where i dont do it.
But finally I still get this error. And it is blocking the whole script ...
Exception calling "Navigate" with "1" argument(s): "The remote procedure call f
ailed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)"
At E:\DailyBuild\Scripts\PublishTestResults.ps1:533 char:15
+ $ie.Navigate <<<< ($srcFile)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation

Open local html document in flash

I've been using the getURL command to open documents on a

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

Firefox will not automatically convert local pdf URL to include file:// like it does for local html files

I have some local PDFs sorted by navigating some local html files. Firefox recognizes that the html files need to be addressed file:///C:/SD_Online/datasc.html. When clicking the link for a PDF it remains c:/SD_Online/L-R4-106.pdf and I get an error saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (c) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."

Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by; '''File > Open File.'''
