Using an html window on Moodle site

I am using Moodle and am having an annoying problem when I try to do html editing. The "pop up" window is extended and not populated with any data - see [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2228975/Web%20clips%20etc/Screenshot%201.png screenshot 1]. [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2228975/Web%20clips%20etc/Screenshot_2.png Screenshot 2] is how it looks in Safari. I have unchecked the block pop up windows setting but that didn't help. Any help greatly appreciated!

Calling a function in the HTML window the course sits inside - Captivate 8

Hi,
I've scoured the forums for an answer to this but as yet have come up blank.
Our LMS launches a course in a popup window and inside of this the .htm Captivate output file sits.
Currently this pop up window has a button in it which executes a function. The problem is this button is rather unsightly sitting above the course in the HTML window and I'd like to be able to call this function from inside the Captivate course itself.
The function is called closeSCOContent() and it closes the course window but crucially forwards the user to a feedback page.
So essentially is it possible to call this function using the Javascript function in Captivate 8?
I hope I've explained that sufficiently
Many thanks!

Hi,
This gave me the nudge in the right direction I needed, after a bit of basic frameset research I've got the desired functionality.
Huge thanks!

Unable to view external webcam content. I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser. I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Can my Domain Site use iWeb HTML ?

I want to get a domain name website. I would like to incorporate iWeb 08' as i design my site. Can i do this? is this possible?
how would i go about doing this? i heard with 08' you can get the html code of the site you've designed on iWeb.

If what you are wanting to do is use iWeb to create a site on another server, here are some tips:

I don’t know why but I create a WEB site and my friends who use a pc windows, have a lot of trouble when they open my movies. The other friends who use Apple, they don’t have problem. I have iMovie11 and my extension file is .m4v. Is it because the extension .m4v is bad for windows ?

No web site expert here but I would suggest changing the .m4v to .mp4 and ask one of those friends if they still have problems. .m4v is something I always associate with iTunes and don't really see it used elsewhere.

Applet reference using gets corrupted upoing hiding a html window

Hello
I am using an applet embedded in a html page. This applet uses JSobject api to make javascript calls like this
window.eval("someFunction()")When i hide this html window then upon show of that window applet reference gets invalid wheras it is properly shown on html window. If i made a call to applet from Javascript then some exceptions(NULL pointer exception, failed to evaluate eval() etc) occurs in java code which seems applet's some variables have null values

I don't think it matters, the browser will get rid of the applet resources when it's good and ready to do so -- there is not much you can do.

HTML window in AIR app can't open new window

Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...
We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no action
All three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.
How can we code the HTML so that we can display selected content in an HTML window inside the AIR app; but have selected hyperlinks invoke the user's standard web browser, or launch Adobe Reader, or play a video file etc?
Note, we understand how to do those things within AIR itself, but can't figure out how to achieve this from inside the HTML window in the app.

Hello,
As to "_blank" links:
this is long-standing lacking feature - as there is no introspection of event of such type - so it goes and could not be prevented. One could either handle all navigation with system browser (all links open in system external browser) or handle them in embedded browser - similar issue is bugging people using phoneGab with jQueryMobile - application eats all external links or none at all). There are solution for that including runtime introspection of DOM object to retrieve all anchor (a) tags in rendered document and attach custom click handler via host object like on complete:
var document:Object = html.htmlLoader.window.document;
if(!document && !document.hasOwnProperty("getElementsByTagName")) return;
var linksArray:Object = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
if(!linksArray) return;
var a:Object = null;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < linksArray.length; i++)
     a = linksArray[i];
     if(a)
          a.onclick = function(event:Object):Boolean
               if(event.target.hasOwnProperty("href") && event.target.hasOwnProperty("target"))
                    if(event.target.target != "_blank") return true;
                    flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.target.href));
               return false;
but if you have control on what content is provided you could take care of handling links depending on runtime feature detection that way in javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
     function handleClick(a)
          if(!window.runtime) return true;
          if(a.hasAttribute("target") && a.getAttribute("target") == "_blank")
               var href = a.getAttribute("href");
               var req = new window.runtime.flash.net.URLRequest(href);
               if(req) window.runtime.flash.net.navigateToURL(req);
          return false;
</script>
<a     href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="handleClick(this);">BBC</a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="handleClick(this);">Google</a>
(above could be scripted globally with help of jQuery for example for all links without much coding).
In 2.7 there is new event introduced to help with introspection so one could prevent event if link is internal and do whatever is expected in application:

Flash CS3 - Resize HTML Window

Ok, I will word this in a different way. I posted earlier and
received no responses. So, I will post once again.
I am trying to make sure that my Flash CS3 Html web page
stays centered across various computer monitor
platforms.
I found this code in an earlier post and wondering if the
code will work.
self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Also, how many on this forum are working in Flash CS3? I know
it's quite different than Flash 8.
Thanks,
Franchelle

I'm still not sure about exactly what it is that you want to
do. In any case, let me explain the various options that you have
to displaying your Flash movie in an HTML document.
In the Publish Settings window, in the HTML tab, there are
two settings that will effect how your movie displays itself. The
first is titled "Dimensions" and has three options: Match Movie,
Pixels, and, Percent. Match Movie will force your Flash movie to be
presented in its original dimensions. Pixels will allow you to set
an absolute size for the movie. Percent will set the movie's size
to a percentage of the available HTML window space.
The second option, "Scale", has four options: Default, No
Border, Exact Fit, and, No scale. Default will show your movie
scaled to fit the window, No Border will allow your movie to scale
without regard to the original proportions. Exact Fit will scale
the movie in proportion to its original size. No scale will keep
your Flash movie at its original size and resize matte around the
movie to fill the available space. Scale has no meaning unless you
use either Pixels or Percent in the Dimensions option setting.
If you want to fill the HTML window space, regardless of its
size, then use Pixels for the Dimension option and set the values
for the width and height to 100%. If you want your movie to fill
the window and enlarge or reduce as needed, then choose Default for
the Scale option. If you want your Flash movie to remain at its
original size and the matte to fill the available space in the HTML
window then choose No scale for the Scale option.
There are two other options on the Publish Settings screen
that seem as though they would be useful, but they are not. The
first is the HTML alignment option. This can be set for Default,
Left, Right, Top, or, Bottom. Most are meaningless. Any setting
except Right will force the Flash movie to sit in the upper left
corner of the HTML window if the Dimensions and Scale options are
left to their defaults. Using the Right setting will force the
Flash movie to the upper right corner of the HTML window.
The second option is the Flash Alignment option. This option
will position the Flash movie relative to matte. This option will
only take effect if you choose Pixels or Percent in the Dimensions
option and a Scale option of No scale.
There are no settings in the Flash Publising Options, or
anywhere else in Flash to set or change the size of the HTML
window, or to position that window on the user's monitor screen.
The size and location of the HTML window is controlled by the
browser.
You need to use Javascript control the browser window. This
will only work if the end user has Javascript enabled. To position
a browser window, you use the moveTo() function. A simple function
to position a window might look like this:
<script language="javascript">
function centerWindow() {
var thisWidth = window.outerWidth;
var newX = (screen.width - thisWidth) /2;
self.moveTo(newX,0);
</script>
window.outerWidth will return the width in pixels of the HTML
window, including any chrome on the sides of the window.
Screen.width will return the width of the user's screen.
Self.moveTo(x,y) will move the current HTML window to pixel values
in the parens.
To change the size of the HTML window itself, you use the
resizeTo() function. Here's a simple example:
<script language="javascript">
function maximizeWindow() {
self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</script>
This example uses screen.availWidth instead of screen.width.
Screen.width will return the full width of the user's screen,
screen.availWidth will return the width minus any space occupied by
widgets that will not give up their space.
In order to completely fill the HTML window with your
content, you will also need to reduce the size of the window's
margins. You can use a simple CSS declaration in the head of the
HTML document to achieve this:
<style type="text/css">
body {margin: 0px}
</style>
This will work for every browser, except Opera. Opera also
pads the window object. So, you'll need to add this line to account
for Opera users: padding: 0px.
You can use a combination of all of these settings to size
and position your Flash movie and the HTML window on your end
user's screen as you like.

Opening new HTML window without toolbars and set size.

Hi, I am researching the possibilities for opening a new HTML
window without toolbars and at a certain size. I have found a bunch
of tutorials and even this guide here at adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14192
BUT
I work in Flash 8 and I use Dreamweaver 8.2 (with all the
latest updates). As you know Dreamweaver uses Java Script to
implement Flash into a HTML page. By generating a folder called
Scripts and the file AC_RunActiveContent.js
So I tri the methods described in the above technote. I even
found a guide at kirupa...and at flashkit. I even downloaded an
example file from Flashkit. But any implementation of any of the
methods above in a Flash 8 file implemented with DW does NOT work.
I am not a hardcore programmer. I am more the kind of guy who
finds code that works and moulds it to my purpose. Copy and paste
programming if you may. So its not so easy for me to see why it
wont work and where the problem is. But I do have a suspicion
towards the javascript flash implementation that Dreamweaver does.
So if anyone have guide or tips to how I can use Flash 8 and
DW 8.2 and get flash to open a new HTML window with a certain size
and without scroll or toolbars..that would be GREAT!!
Thanks in advance!
AKIRA

AKIRA,
The TechNotes are from the Cold Fusion site at Adobe. I am
not certain, but I think that you need to be using Cold Fusion on
your websites server to be able to use the functions to which you
refer. Again, I am not certain that I am right here, but it could
be a place to start research into the problem.

How do I use Cortana in Windows 10?

QuestionHow do I use Cortana in Windows 10?
AnswerCortana is a personal assistant included in Windows 10. She can answer questions, search the web, find things on your computer, and do other tasks as well.
To learn about Cortana, watch this video or read more below:
Cortana's search field is at the bottom of the screen next to the Start button.
You can click in the field to type to Cortana or select the microphone to begin talking to Cortana. You can also use the Cortana button on your keyboard on select Toshiba laptops.
Cortana can be set to listen for commands as well. When this is enabled, you can simply say "Hey, Cortana," and she'll start listening for a command. To enable this, follow these steps:
Click in the Cortana field.
Select the Settings icon.
Under Let Cortana respond when you say "Hey Cortana", ensure the toggle is set to On. You might have to scroll down to see it.
Note that to get the most out of Cortana, you'll need to be using a Microsoft account on your PC. If you're not using one, you'll be prompted to change to one.
If you want to search for files on your computer, simply type the name in Cortana's field.
To get answers to some questions, you can simply ask her. For example, when asked "Hey Cortana, what's the weather like?" she can respond with the current weather at your location. If asked "Hey Cortana, what's the capital of Canada?" she'll reply with "Ottawa."
Cortana can answer many questions as well as change some settings on your computer for you. She can also search Bing if she doesn't know the answer to your question.

Hey s123dip,
I did some research into the DATAQ ActiveX controls, and found this resource that I think might be helpful: http://www.dataq.com/develop/index.html It contains some information about how to use those ActiveX controls and some of the common problems you might run into with them. I also might recommend looking at the DATAQ forums for more specific knowledge on those products.
We have a KnowledgeBase article on our site showing what parts of ActiveX are supported in CVI; you can find that here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/610540BB3EA4EBDD862568960055E498?OpenDocument and it looks to me like what you're trying to do should be supported. Are you seeing an error when you try to use the DATAQ ActiveX control, or does it just not do anything?
I would also check and make sure that the DATAQ ActiveX control is registered. Here's a KnowledgeBase article on how to do that: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/4f811a9b23f1d46e862566f700615b7a?O...
I hope these resources help, and please let us know if you need any more assistance!

Safari Won't Load School Moodle Site

I cannot access my school's Moodle site: http://moodle.cedarburg.k12.wi.us
The site works at school and from other individuals computer on their home networks.
Safari and Firefox seem to "hang" on two specific files. Through Safari's "Activity" window, I've noticed that it hangs on two files entitled: "http://moodle.cedarburg.k12.wi.us/theme/EduMoodle2/styles.php" and "http://moodle.cedarburg.k12.wi.us/theme/standard/styles.php"
I've tried deleting Safari and reinstalling it. Nothing.
Could it be my computer? Running up-to-date on Snow Leopard on one computer and Lion on another (same problems w/ Safari)
Could it be my network? Using a Time Capsule
Could it be my internet provider? U-Verse
Thanks for your help!

I just got the site to load. It does take time.
Do you have anti virus software installed or an app called Little Snitch?
I am using OpenDNS which may have made the difference.
It's to try if you want and free.
Open System Preferences / Network. Select your connection on the left then click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Under DNS Servers:
Type these numbers exactly as you see them here.
Click + 208.67.222.222
Click + 208.67.220.220
Click Ok.
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try that site.

Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Can't install Adobe Reader using Firefox on Windows Server 2008 R2

I am hoping someone can kindly help me out here.
Using Firefox I went to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and clicked the download button and received the Getplus add-on to Firefox.
When Firefox restarts the getplus window opens but sits there and does nothing with the window remaining blank for ever..
Each time I try it is the same
I am logged into Windows Server 2008 R2 as Administrator but it might be a permissions problem as this is a new install of 2008 and seems pretty locked down.
Thank you in advance

Window.open() will open separated windows even using the same window name?

Hi, I have below two test html pages as below(could not find a way to insert a attachment, so paste the content below). The reproduce step is as below: (My environment is Win8.1 with IE11)
1. Open print_test.html page in IE, here we call page1.
2. Click "File -> New Session" menu from IE menu bar, which will open another new IE window which display another " print_test.html" page, here we call page 2.
3. Click "Print" hyper-link in page1, and a popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 3.
4. Click "Print" hyper-link in page2, and another popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 4.
However, the behavior above is totally different on my Win7 (64 bit) with IE 10, which is in step 4, when I click "Print" hyper-link in page2, instead of open a new popup window, the window for page 3 will be reused and counting will restart from
1.
I googled and know from MDN for window.open() and get below information to indicate that in my test pages, I use the same window name, so that the existed window with the same name will be reused is as expected, but however, why IE behave differently in
Win8.1 with IE 11? Why the existed window could not be reused anymore?
If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window.
The behavior in Win8.1 + IE 11 is similar with what Google Chrome does, and Chrome's explanation is that two separated window using separated processes which do no share information, so that even using the same window name. twp separated windows will
popup.. So I am confused here, IE 10 and IE 11 are both using multi-process mechanism right? I saw from the Windows Task Manager, when using "File -> New Session" to open another print_test.html page in step 2. both IE 10 and IE 11 are opening
4 iexplore.exe processes, two of them are 64 bit, and two of them are 32 bit. I can't see any configuration difference between these two envs, but why the behavior is so different?
Could anyone give some help and clarify here? Great thanks in advance.
Oh, btw, another colleague can reproduce the issue (open separated windows even using the same window name) in his Win7 64 bit with IE 10 env, but could not reproduce in his Win 32 bit with IE 10 env... Hope this information could also do help.
