Trying to download xls file with IE7 but browser tries to download as htm

Hi!
I have got a problem with downloading files using a hyperlink.
I've got a hyperlink and i did set the url property to: /resources/file.xls
when using IE7 and clicking Save As... the save as dialog appears and suggests file.htm as the filename and the file typ is shown as: HTML Document
Firefox works fine, it suggests file.xls and the type as: Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet
Next i typed in the url of the resource folder: http://localhost:29080/myProject/resources/
The file was shown as file.xls in the directoy listing, but when i tried to download the file from here, both browsers behaved the same way as before.
gif-files and others worked fine in both browsers.
Does anyone have an idea?
greets,
Remi

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Downloading .xls file with multiple rows and Columns

Hi ALL,
I need to genarate .xls file with multiple rows and and Columns and sent as an email.Since our customer having Problem with .CSV files need to genarate .XLS file.
Please do the needful.
Thanks
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
You might also consider using Excel Spreadsheet XML as the target structure (namespace is urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet). When you double-click the resulting xml on a PC it automatically opens with Excel. So, users don't see a difference. It will open up a lot of options with formatting including creating multiple worksheets if you wanted to. Best of all you can stick with XML.
See my response in this thread:
Re: Convert XML data into XLS

Opening .xls file with Numbers

I saved a spreadsheet from Numbers '09 version 2.0 in .xls format and then tried to open it, but Numbers won't open it because off a reported problem with the plug-in to do that, "SFCompatibility plug-in." This used to work, I think. Perhaps the latest operating system update messed it up. (I have OS X 10.8.5.) Software update says there is no update for any of my apps. My Numbers software is in Applications/iWork '09.

I was not "fooled by Excel's ability to recognize the file format and apply the correct converter automaticallY"
What i mean is some people will export as a text file, but change the file extension to xls to force it to open excel when double clicked, and excel will open it just fine. Converting as it goes automaticaly and not even asking you any questions or putting up any errors.
I know because i just did it to validate my statement (I am working at a Windows machine at the moment), and it worked fine. Even though the file was actually a tab delimited file, with an XLS on the end. If excel was strict, it would have looked for a Binary XLS file and rejected the file.
This does NOT work with XLSX formats. You will get an error that its not formatted correctly. So if excel was able to recognize file formats and apply the correct converter automatically. they removed this ability in 2007+, only leaving it as legacy functionality.
Your statement would be accurate for plain txt files. But excel is NOT ablel to ID the format automatically.
Try saving a comma separated file with a TXT extension, then try to open it by selecting "files of type" All files, in an open dialog. It will start the converter for text files but will ALWAYS suggest Tab delimited. never the proper format if anything else. (we use Pipe | delimeted very often at work)
thereby I present you the possibility that it is you that has been fooled by Excel into thinking it knows what its doing

Attach xls file with more than 255 chars

Hi all,
I'm trying to send an .xls file as attachement whose row contains more than 255 chars with FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.
When preparing the attached table, I tried to separate the tables like this:
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-col_1 itab-col_2 itab-col_3 into it_attach
    separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
append it_attach.
concatenate itab-col_4 itab-col_5 itab-col_6 into it_attach
    separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
append it_attach.
concatenate IT_ATTACH cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
append it_attach.
endloop.
I am able to send this xls as attachment, but when open it in excel/notepad,
it is so strange that there are so many spaces before the contents itab-col_4 which is unexpected.
It is expected that the file is tab-delimited with continuous column 1-6.
Any things went wrong?
Many Thanks!

Thanks.
I tried the first method to convert the byte to string, but a short dumps is resulted,
DATA: con_tab TYPE x,
           sep TYPE string.
con_tab = '09'.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
            EXPORTING
              in_xstring = con_tab
            IMPORTING
              out_string = sep.
so I use back my original method to concatenate the columns as suggested, i.e.
concatenate itab-col_1 tab itab-col_2 tab itab-col_3 tab into it_attach
append it_attach.
concatenate itab-col_4 tab itab-col_5 tab itab-col_6 into it_attach.
append it_attach.
concatenate it_attach cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
append it_attach.
but the outcome is still the same, i.e. ...many leading space before itab-col_4
any more ideas? Many Thanks

How to write heading in the xls file with each of the channel in each column?

Dear All,
While writing the data into the xls file through .lvm method I want the Headong for each channel to be include on each of the column, but i dint know how to do this? is this possible in the LabVIEW from any of the file writing method? if yes how can i do that? please help me.........
Thanks,
Nishant Desai

Thanks Chilly,
Its a really fantastic idea, and it works for me too, but the thing inside was every time once it writes the heading and then it write the data again after that it wirtes the heading and write the data, but i ve copup with dat and i ve modified the vi which u ve given to me, i am attaching that vi to with this.
wat i ve done is just putting the write to spreadsheet data vi into the while loop and other all are outside the while loop, which makes the heading to write once and data to write continuosly.
Thanks & Regards,

Applet failed to open xls file with Firefox and Office 2010 installed (o.s: Windows 7). It works with Office 2007.

I load a signed applet in a web application.
The applet open a xls file when I press the finalize button.
It works correctly in Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari. I have installed Office 2007.
But when I test it in a new pc with Office 2010 installed, it does not work in Firefox browser (it works in IE, Chrome and Safari)
This is the console java error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: my_file.xls (Access is denied)
The plugin for Microsoft Office 2010 is installed.
Java Plug-in is 1.6.0_27.
Firefox version: 3.6 and latest version: 7
O.S.: Windows 7
I search in Bugzilla but not found anything about this.
I test it with Firefox Beta - Aurora and the behaviour is the same.
Is there any bug for Office 2010 in Mozilla Firefox?
Any suggestion?

Rectify the post:
It works with Firefox 3.6, but it does not work with Firefox 7.
Is there any bug in Firefox 7 with excel?

Invalid Mimetype Detection for .xls file with CF10

After upgrading to CF10, we are having issues getting our server to properly recognize any mimetype associated with the .xls file extension. For some odd reason, the server is viewing them as a word file type and rejecting it.
When we upload a file with the .xls extension, the server responds back with the following error message:
"The MIME type or the Extension of the uploaded file application/msword was not accepted by the server. Only files of type application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel,appl ication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet can be uploaded. Verify that you are uploading a file of the appropriate type. The error type is Application."
Our only workaround for the time being is uploading all files in the newer .xlsx format, which the server properly accepts. As you will see from the above error message, those are the mimetypes I have thus far. The other work around is updating the tika jar files which I have included more details in my bug report link below, but that is a solution we are steering off of until we get further confirmation on the solution.
I've reported this possible bug to Adobe, but of course it will be weeks or months before a confirmation or response is made on it since there are countless other bugs / feature requests that are still unanswered. So I'm reaching out to the community in efforts to see if anyone else may have received the same issue or could see what we may be doing wrong.
Link to bug report with more details: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3343364

If you guys want to replicate this in your local environment, it's very easy using the steps I outlined in my bug report. Please report back on your results. I would love to see if other users experience the same or different.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create cfset tags to specify what type of files and mime types are allowed for user uploads.
<cfset uploadFileFilter = ".xls,.xlsx" />
<cfset uploadFileMimeType = "application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel,app lication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" />
2. Define where the file will be uploaded to using the cffile attribute. (Change destination to the same directory of where you are creating the current .cfm file below)
<cffile action = "upload"
fileField = "fileupload"
destination = "C:\test\"
accept = "#uploadFileMimeType#"
nameConflict = "MakeUnique">
3. Finally create a simple form that allows the user to upload files.
<cfform enctype="multipart/form-data">
<cfinput accept="#uploadFileMimeType#" type="file" name="FileContents">
 
<cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
</cfform>
4. Open excel, enter any data, and save it as an .xls file.
5. Submit it to the form.
Final code
<cfset uploadFileFilter = ".xls,.xlsx" />
<cfset uploadFileMimeType = "application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,application/x-msexcel,app lication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" />
<cfif isDefined("Form.FileContents") >
 <cffile action = "upload"
 fileField = "FileContents"
 destination = "C:\EnterLocalPathHere\"
 accept = "#uploadFileMimeType#"
 nameConflict = "MakeUnique">
<cfelse>
 <cfform enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <cfinput accept="#uploadFileMimeType#" type="file" name="FileContents">
 
 <cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File">
 </cfform>
</cfif>

In my opinion any user of Premiere Pro - whether CS6 or CC should be able to work as part of a collective - without having to use work arounds. I actually do love my Premiere Pro. If I have to I can work on a CS6 project sent to me, but the fact I can't send a CC project without having to go through hoops (probably as simple as "export as a CS6 project) - is in this day and age simply ridiculous - especially since this scenario does not involve any other product - this is Adobe - to Adobe - PP to PP.. and it won't work?
Poor... in my opinion.
At least I know for the future..

No offense but how is this ridicules? It's common sense really. If you use new features in CC how do you expect CS6 to use something it doesn't have?

Create the dbf file with java, but cannot display the data with VF

Dear all,
i create a dbf file with some java packages, this file can be opened and display all of the data with excel, but just can show the data structure and no any data when i open it with VF, how to solve it?

Hi, I have got same problem as you. My application generates a DBF file from a resultset. In MS Excel it looks pretty good - all data, but when I try to open same DBF file with Fox or MS Access, I always see ONLY header(column names), but NO data! I don't know why?! The application generates this file using JDBF classes (version 1.0). I guess, maybe it is caused by the size of this file. The DBF file had 18 columns and over 32000 rows.
Did you find the cause? I'll be grateful for help.

File with exclamation, but I can't restore or anything.

When I try to restore it comes up with "Can't mount iPod, what am I supposed to do here? None of the other solutions work. Please help.

Go to find a Mac computer and do a Restore there. Once it has being completed, do a Restore back with your computer. If you can't find a Mac, please go to an Apple Shop and asking them a favour for doing the Restore for you. Your iPod need to do a Restore to fix the error of file with exclamation, however, your will not able to get your iPod mount with a PC at the mom, if you try to connect it with a Mac, it will able to force mount it.

Viewing .fdf file with Unix/Linux browser plugin

I am using Solaris, but this seems to effect the Linux version as well.
I click on a link that contains an .fdf document. The browser (Mozilla or Firefox) does not know what to do with it. I have set up a mime-type application helper to launch the viewer externally. That works. Solaris version 5 Adobe Reader can view the .fdf file. But what about the plugin? How can I view the .fdf as I do .pdf files using the Adobe browser plugin and do it smoothly like I can with .pdf files?

Firstly you would need to remove any special mime-type handlers that you would have setup in your browser. Secondly, in the browser type "about:plugins" in the adress bar. This would open a list of all installed plugins. Make sure mozplugger or any other plugin which can handle PDF/FDF mime type is not present. If there is any, you would have to manually find the corresponding file and remove it. Next, you would need to remove all occurences of the file 'nppdf.so' from $HOME/.mozilla and anywhere under /usr (except from the one existing in the Adobe Reader installation folder). Once this is done, reinstall the plugin by running the script at <reader_install_folder>/Browser/install_browser_plugin. After the installation is complete, try using the FDF links again. If it still fails, open the /etc/mime.types file and look for the line application/vnd.fdf. Append to this line the word 'fdf' after a tab at the end. So basically the line would look like - "application/vnd.fdf fdf" This should fix your problem. Incase you face in issues in between or have anything unclear, just go through the file <reader_install_folder>/Browser/HowTo/ENU/Browser_Plugin_HowTo.txt.

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.
