View local html files

Does anyone here know how to view html files which are stored locally on iPhone?
Thanks

Unfortunately, iPhone Safari doesn't support the "file://" protocol.
Not having local storage of web apps was, and is, a big limitation.
Some companies I contract to, have large business apps written under IE6 on handheld Windows CE devices. The apps are stored on the device. When the iPhone (and Safari Windows) came out, we thought about modifying them to run under Safari. The limitation stopped that idea.

Unable to view local HTML content from "Help Content Only" SSL iFrame

Hi
Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to view local HTML files within an iFrame when generating Help Content Only SSL content which is also locally deployed?
I have had no problem viewing local html files from within an iFrame with a locally viewed Browser-Based Help project but despite trying a number of variations on the syntax, I simply cannot obtain the same result from a Help Content Only SSL that is then incorporated within a merged help system. I can however create hyperlinks to view local content using the following syntax (file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html - the only drawback for local preview is that you must right-click and select "open in new tab"). Essentially, I am trying to eliminate the requirement to have to right-click and open in new tab to view local html files.
The project I am working on is deployed both locally and remotely and this whole process is necessary for emergency management and business continuity purposes.
I hope my explanation isn't too convoluted and would be glad to clarify it further if required. I would appreciate any assistance!

Hi John
I appreciate you and Peter obtaining this information from Adobe and I appreciate your continuing patience in trying to understand what I am doing.
I will start from the beginning and hopefully clarify my process when deploying my application locally (my remote process differs somewhat but is not germane to this discussion). Obviously this will contain some repetition from previous posts but I hope it helps...
The project itself integrates content created from Adobe RoboHelp with content created within Adobe Dreamweaver
First, I should mention that I am using RoboHelp 8 as I don't believe I have addressed which version I am using. There's nothing particularly unusual about the project itself.
Utilizing Dreamweaver I have created a self-contained HTML-only (no server-side functionality) website which is placed at the root level of the C: drive
Within the RoboHelp project I create a hyperlink to access the local HTML files from the RoboHelp topic pages. The process I use to do so is from within the HTML view of the specific topic page and I use the following file path: "file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html". The only end-user requirement is that they must right-click and select "open in new tab", otherwise the link does not work. Please note, this is ONLY required for accessing the local HTML files.
I output my RoboHelp project using the Adobe Air SSL, with the output type set to "Help Only Content" which creates the .rha files. I utilize multiple .rha files within my project as each .rha file constitutes a module specific to an individual municipality (in my particular instance)
I use the Help Viewer Wizard from the RoboHelp "Toolbox" pod to create what I refer to as the "shell" .air file. Once the "shell" .air file created from the Help Viewer Wizard is installed, it creates a shortcut on my desktop.
I place an XML .helpcfg file within the directory on C:Program Files where my "shell" .air file has been installed to reference each .rha module which must be placed at the root level of the C: drive in order to be properly referenced by the .helpcfg file
By double-clicking on the desktop shortcut created in Step 6 it opens the "shell" module which, in turn, loads in each individual .rha file which can be accessed individually from the drop-down menu in the top-right corner
Why do I do it this way?? My organization severely restricts admin privileges on our workstations. We have one IT person / several hundred officers so I needed to create a system where the only time we need IT assistance is in the initial installation of the "shell" .air file created from the Help Viewer Wizard and placement of the .helpcfg file within the C: Programs folder. Once this is done, because the .rha files are on the C: drive, I can swap these out and update as necessary (we currently have an annual renewal cycle) and we require no further IT intervention. The local system I have just described has hyperlinks to the online browser-based help so that users can also access it and see any content updates made throughout the course of the school year
Having said all that, based on the model I have just described, I have been trying to create iFrames from within my RoboHelp 8 topic pages (placed on my C: drive) to access the local HTML Dreamweaver site (also on my C: drive). The problem I have been having is that the resultant iFrames display only a blank white page and I have tried a number of variations on the syntax of the file path without success.
The process I have been using to create the iFrame is as follows:
In Design view, select Insert >> HTML >> iFrame
In the iFrame dialog box, provide a name for the iFrame and then navigate to the local file on my C: drive level Dreamweaver HTML-only website that I want to link to.
Click "Apply" and from the resulting dialog box states that "This action will create an external link to the help system... Do you want to continue?", I click "Yes"
The resultant file path is "../../../../../folderName/fileName.html" which obviously won't work but I have created the iFrame and now I switch over to HTML view and insert the file path that I have been using for the hyperlinks ("file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html"). I also modify the width to 100% and the height to 1000 px
The user is not being directed to a different domain. So, if as Adobe states, that iFrames are "supported in local AIR Help (.rha) as well" then I don't know why it will not work for me. Again, this is the file path that allows me to create a hyperlink which will access my local Dreamweaver HTML files: "file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html" so if that syntax works for a hyperlink, why will it not work for the iFrame?
The videos I referenced are also contained within the local Dreamweaver HTML site
My usage of the term "merged help" may have been unclear and hopefully steps 1-8 outline what I am doing
Again, I am very grateful to all who have joined this discussion to try to help me! I think it should be manifestly evident by now that I am self-taught and basically that's the only excuse I can offer in my defense for my poor articulation. Not too many years ago I wanted nothing whatsoever to do with computers!

How to display local HTML file in web-view?

Hello everyone,
we have no problem with showing of remote HTML content from server in box on page in web view. But how we can show such a content when included in HTMLResources? In guide is just "Display a local HTML file in an in-app browser", which works wihout problem, but we don't want to show this HTML content in in-app viewer, it should be part of page.
Thanks
Martin

Now i'm confused. In guide is this:
To use local HTML files, click the folder icon and specify the local HTML file. The HTML file (such as index.html) should appear in a folder that includes any images or scripts used in the HTML file.
But no info where such a local HTML file should reside. If this file is in HTMLResources, it is ignored.

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.

How to load local html-file into webBrowser tool? [SDK 6.5]

The webbroser tool lets you load an external html by inputting the adress in its "Url"-property.
But how do you load a local html-file that is added to your project? Lets say the path is: Folder1/Subfolder1/Webpage1.html. What would I put in the Url-property to make this work?
While on this subject, what is the support for css and javascript when using locally loaded webpages in the webbrowser?

Thanks for the answer Malleswar, but I have now played around with all variations of that code-line that I can think of, but still I can not locate the html-file that is located within the project. Since Im planning to distribute the html-files with the executable (as one file) it should read it directly from wherever the application is installed.
The html-file is included within the project. Solution Explorer -> Solution 'myProject' -> myProject -> Webpage1.html
Which is (as usual) also where the Form1.cs (which contains the webBrowser-component) is located.
Any ideas of how the Uri should be constructed in this case?
Thanks,
Daniel

Viewing an HTML file in a portlet &

Dear reader:
I need to view an HTML file in a portlet according to a specified parameter passed via URL address, can i use url.display_url or not, and how? and if not what should i use?
and related to that how can i call a portlet (or a page published as portlet)to override an existing one (programatically)?
thank you for your time.

Check out the multi page portlet in the February PDK for an example of how to display a second portlet in place of the first portlet. As for your first question, please try posting your question to the Oracle Portal Development Kit (PDK) forum, where you'll find the expertise you require.

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.

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

WebView with local html file

How can I use webview to display a local html file?

Here is a link that will help:
"How To Read a File From Your Application Bundle"
http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/data-management/how-to-read-a-file-from-your-app lication-bundle
but basically you do this:
// urlLocation is of type (NSURL *) and
// webView is of type (UIWebview *)
NSString *filePath = \[\[NSBundle mainBundle\] pathForResource:@"MyFileName" ofType:@"html"\];
urlLocation = \[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath\];
\[webView loadRequest:\[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:urlLocation\]\];
ALSO, make sure your html file is part of your project so that it's also part of the bundle.
Hope this helps!

Send local html files to Browser

I have a Servlet program which can send any HTML files located on the computer which Tomcat is running to client browser. The HTML files are not necessarily in Tomcat's "webapps" folder. My method is quite simple. Read the content of the local HTML file and write it out through HttpServletResponse object. But there is problem that if the HTML file includes images, the images don't appear in client browser. Is there a way to send those images to client browse as well? Thanks in advance.

Well, this is just an idea, but:
You would probably have to create a new Servlet, that will identify the image type, set the correct content type (response.setContentType("image/gif") for example). It would have to get a binary InputStream to the image and copy the input to the output stream in the response(use the getOutputStream and not getWriter...)
In your HTML writing servlet you would have to scan each line for an <img ... > tag parse out the source and replace it with the image servlet.
Locating the image may be problematic if it is not given in absolute "file://" url. You may need to scan for a <base> tag in the HTML as well, or use the HTML page's directory for the path in which to find the image... but it could come in more complicated then that depending on how complicated the HTML was written (ie, for a server with multiple hosts, or with aliased paths...)
Or, you might be able to write a filter that looks for images(*.gif *.jpg) and sends the request to your image servlet....

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'''.

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?

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.
