Using AIR as a Custom Web Browser

Hi,
I am trying to use Adobe AIR as a web browser that is locked
down to just our application that I can deploy to our clients.
However, I have run across a few problems, the first one is to do
with popup windows in the application.
For example, if I create a new
named window using JavaScript like this:
window.open('', 'foo');
Then if I later try to submit an HTML form with
foo as the target window, I get a second popup window
appearing. The call to window.open appears to ignore the window
name. Is there something I need to do to enable the standard
behaviour in this case so that the original popup window is used as
the target of the form submission?
Also, is there a way to disable popup blocking if a popup is
generated on page load, rather than as a direct result of a user
action?
Thanks,
Jason

quote:
@Jason,
Setting the target in a link or a form should just work. Are
both the caller and the target in the same domain? I wouldn't
expect that a window in a remote domain would be able to change the
location of a window in the application sandbox.
Yes, both the caller and the target are in the same domain.
I have discovered that it works correctly if I do not use a
custom HTMLHost class. I was originally using a very basic
implementation of the HTMLHost class that I copied from the
documentation to try to fix another problem I was having. Could
this be a general problem with subclassing HTMLHost?
Thanks,
Jason

My macMini has only a 1.5 GHz Intel Solo Core and is now unable to do things like Turbo Tax. I use it mainly for email, web browsing, bill paying, banking. Should my next purchase be a notebook, laptop, mini or iPad?

Desktop: Mac Mini dual-core i5 (or quad i7 if you can afford it, it might seem overpowered but it will last you longer. Upgrade to 16GB RAM if you want to future proof that side of the machine. Don't buy from Apple, install it yourself).
Laptop: MacBook Pro 13' if you don't need portability, or MacBook Air 11' if you do (as RRFS has said).
A notebook and a laptop are the same thing.

SMART PRINT: How do I use SMART Print on Safari web browser please?

I use a MAC with Safari web browser. How do I get Smart Print for Safari please. (I do not want to use BING). Is there any way of doing this?

Hi Paulmozzi!
Here it is the supported devices list: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/platforms/
However, because of the large number of Android devices (phones and tablets), not all new devices could be tested yet, but the list will continue to be updated.
I am not sure if I understand correctly your issue. When typing something in url bar, you will have at least 4 default search engines (Google, Wikipedia, Amazon, Twitter), so you can choose any of them. If you want to install more search engines, here it is a useful link for that: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html (open this link using Firefox Mobile on your tablet).
If you still need more help, please let us know. Any more details regarding your issue will be very useful.

If I download google chrome can i still use safari as my main web browser

If I download Google Chrome can I still use safari as my main web browser?

Yes.
Go to the Safari menu bar (top of your screen). Click Safari / Preferences then select the General tab.
Select Safari from the pop up menu where you see: Default web browser

Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

www.apple.com/support/safari
Also use the User Agent and see if that works on those sitess.
Safari keeps a lot of web history and cache on disk and it tends to be RAM hungry (even FF has gotten a big larger on RAM footprint)
There are other browsers and sometimes Opea is a good choice or there is OmniWeb which I still after 10 yrs? still favor.

There are a number of LOVs on the form, and they're all working fine except one.
The LOV is populated correctly, however, once the wildcard (%) search is used, the following error is shown:

Hi,
maybe this is the problem. The type is byte and not binary.
But I have the same problem as mentioned in the other thread: I can't change the type.
The type in the WSDL of my web service is "base64binary". Is there maybe a possibility to import a jar-file for this type?

Why is my macbook air running slow while web browsing, why is my macbook air running slow while web browsing

a few days ago my macbook pro that i recently purchesed for christmas started running really slow while web browsing. I looked at all the memory and all that and it was fine. any advice?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Launching A Custom Web Browser

I'm fairly new to java and I was wondering if, from an applet, there is a way for me to launch a web browser without the toolbar and to a specific size...
I've gotten as far as:
AppletContext mainContext = getAppletContext();
mainContext.showDocument( link, target );
But I was really hoping to be able to customize the window that is created.
Thanks for any help in advance.

you'd be better off checking the IE api
because you'll be launching IE
and passing arguments to it, ie
MENUBAR_OFF
etc
etc
This is not java api
its particular to the browser functionality

New computer...Windows 7...I'm used to Mozilla as my web browser...I can't get to the homepage. What am I doing wrong?

I got a new computer yesterday and am now using Windows 7 (ugh). I want Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I downloaded it and it's showing up on my All Programs but I can't seem to get to the homepage.

The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

When I enter the mac address of my HT Rec'r in the address field I get the following error: This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.

I am getting this message "This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection." I know the site it's mine so I need to access it.

Note I also need to be able to install an active x feature.

How to make a tabbed web browser in vb 2013

How do I make a tabbed web browser in vb 2013? Like google chrome, or bing.

Hi ChairmanZeddy,
You could use
TabControl control to contain web browser. Then add tabPages when you need new page.
You could add or remove the page like below, I handle the add or remove in two buttons. Here is the code.
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim newPage As New TabPage()
newPage.Text = "New Tab"
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(newPage)
Dim webbrowswer As New WebBrowser()
webbrowswer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
newPage.Controls.Add(webbrowswer)
TabControl1.SelectedTab = newPage
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
If TabControl1.SelectedTab IsNot Nothing Then
TabControl1.TabPages.Remove(TabControl1.SelectedTab)
End If
End Sub
Result:
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

E Series and Skyfire web browser

I have tested a couple of phones with flash video sites like veoh.com. I had the chance to test E66 with skyfire. The installation of Skyfire was quick and easy. Just go to skyfire.com using your phone's regular web browser and pick up Skyfire 1.5 for Nokia /Symbian and you will be redirected to Nokia's Ovi.
After a few clicks the skyfire was set up and running. Voila! All videos of veoh were playing perfectly. No crashes and no more the message you need the latest flash!!!
However, what I have heard and read not all Nokia phones work well or at all with skyfire web browser. For my C5-00 it's impossible to install the skyfire browser despite the fact that :
Skyfire is now available for Nokia Series 60, 3rd & 5th Edition mobiles via the Ovi Store!
http://store.ovi.com/content/2178?lang=en
Perhaps it's a good idea to share your experiences with other Nokia phones (E Series here)
how they are capable of handling flash video sites. There is huge amount of great video and movie sites available on the net. If Skyfire can help you watch your favorit movies or tv-shows it's definetely worth trying. Unfortunately I can't say if veoh.com works does it mean that all flash sites works too. One more site which came to my mind is hulu.com
And naturally the father of all flash site is adobe.com.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/
How funny: there is no mention how to get flash for your Symbian phones. Now when Nokia has got a new flash specialist in their team from Canada, perhaps he can solve the flash puzzle with Adobe and add instructions to Adobe Support page. It's not up to us customers to solve these things.
But as it looks the Nokia bosses are too busy, we customers must go on with testing..
Btw, The spell checker does not know words Nokia, Symbian.... Does it learn anything...hardly
A tip for Skyfire users: Click the navi button of your phone twice to zoom in
(the button in the middle of the phone)

worth reading it thanks man!

Gnome not recognising Ice Cat as web browser

I've installed a few days ago Ice Cat and I wanted to use it as my default web browser, the only problem is it doesn't appear in my settings as a browser.
I already made a .desktop file for it specifying it was a web browser and adding a %U to the Exec=appPath line and created the proper Mime files according to the Wiki.
The only thing I did different is that instead of being logged in as a user I'm always root (I know, not a great idea) so I used /usr/share/mime instead of ~/.local/share/mime but there shouldn't be any issues.
Does anyone know why could this be?

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but hopefully can clarify a point: most users will tell you that running X as root is bad; there is truth to that, but it is not some mystical rule. Other users who really know what they are doing chose to run X as root. But in neither case would someone run something as root simply because it doesn't work as a regular user.
$ command
Some unrecongnized error
$ sudo command
That is a recipe for disaster. If something doesn't work as you expected, learn about that thing, don't just hit it with a bigger hammer. If something goes horribly wrong when running some new command as a regular user, you can fix it. If something goes horribly wrong when running a new command as root, your only hope is that full system backup you just made.
As for the settings menu - is it supposed to show up there? Doesn't the menu need to be configured to show what you want? How does the menu work, from where does it gather information for it's entries (I don't really know, I don't use gnome).
