Web browser dashboard widget

help!
i'm at my wit's end!
i want to do something EXTREMELY simple, but can't figure it out
i need to make a dashboard widget that displays a web page in an iframe
i've tried and tried and tried and i can't get it to work
the web page i want to display is http://www.noleggedsnake.com/Widget/Home.html
when i make a simple widget with an iframe src'ed to this address
it doesn't work! it will work if i src to other addresses, like apple.com
but it won't work on that address, even though a browser views it fine
what's going on?
i'm so frustrated by this because it should be such a simple thing to do
i need the iframe to be a specific width and be navigatable
that is, you should use it like a browser but only throughout this site by navigating the links on the pages
can anyone please help!
the html code needed for the widget's html file would be a huge help!
thankyou in advance

Deploy Dashboard on Web Browser

Hi All,
Could anyone exlain me how to deploy and launch Dashboard made from SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards(Xcelsius) on Web browser.
Browser could run on
> Java, JSP
> .Net
and so on.
I have a vague idea that it possible through QAWS. Is this true. If so pls explain.
- Anil

Hello Anil,
Have you tried using an opendoc call to bring up the SWF?
http://<Server Name>:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=******&sKind=Flash
You would also need to establish the session with BOE first, in order to pass the CELogonToken.
Does this make sense?

Dashboard widget with streaming video breaks after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Hi. I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Under SL, I had an OS X widget that was a web clipping of a streaming mpeg image being produced by a Linksys/Cisco WVC54GCA web camera. When I brought up the dashboard, the OS would start streaming the data from the mpeg filename, which looks like "hostname.com/img/video.mjpeg".
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I noted that the widget never fully loads, indefinitely displaying a "Loading Clip..." mesasge. After deleting and re-adding, I can still get as far as adding the web clipping to the dashboard at the right dimensions, but there's no content.
Unfortunately the camera unit doesn't provide for the display of HTTP access logs, so I can't see if there's an issue there, but my understanding is that if I can display the image in a Safari browser, it should work just fine in Dashboard too. (I did make sure that, where needed, the username/password for accessing the video are included in the URL.)
I did sniff the network traffic between my system and the camera host, and show that video traffic starts flowing between the two as soon as the widget is brought up. So, it's almost like the widget doesn't know when to stop "loading" and start "displaying," perhaps because the HTTP request is never truly "done."
Can anyone speculate if something may have changed in Mountain Lion affecting the ability of web clipping widgets to display streaming video?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi James
I have exactly the same problem with the same "Loading clip" then blank. I have been trying a lot of stuff to get this working, but haven't had the chance of sniffing the network traffic as you have done. By reading what you said about the traffic seems to be flowing without the picure being displayed makes me even more puzzled by this. I never had a streaming video while I were using Snow Leopard, but I had a still-image, as I also do now in Mountain Lion. I recently began to research for a way to display the video.cgi MIME image that my camera produces, and I've also concluded that this should be an easy task for the dashboard web clip function; the video does display in safari after all.
I suspect that our cameras uses the same built in webserver solution written by a "Steven Wu". Cheap webcameras frequently uses his script with MJPEG (stream of JPEG pictures) to avoid the expensive licenses of using other video codecs.
I read this a bit down at this site: http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/articles/Everyone-Loves-Babies-Webcams-and-M otion-Detection
Have you come any closer in your research?
I have started to think that maybe I have to write a dashboard widget on my own to accomplish this.

No search feature for Dashboard widgets?

In Dashboard, when you click the Manage Widgets button at the bottom and then you click More Widgets in the Manage Widgets window, you are taken to Apples' official Dashboard Widgets web page at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard.
At the bottom of the page, it says there are "3901 Dashboard Widgets" available. But oddly, there seems to be no search feature for the widgets.
There's a Widget Browser where you can drill down by category, but sometimes it's just easier to search for what you want.
There's a search field at the very top of the page in the navigation bar (just as there's one for this page, but that searches the whole Apple site, not just the widgets.
Is there a way to do a text search for Dashboard widgets?

I took a look and agree that there doesn't seem to be a way so you aren't just blind...unless we both are
The only thing I noticed is since all the widgits seem to reside in the same directory you could do a google search a la
"widget I want site:http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/"
I suppose apple thinks most people don't commonly associate widgets by there actual name so categories are easier but it seems trivial just to throw in a search function with a nice little preview of each widget.
Maybe we just didn't look deep enough.

How to capture an HTML snippet like dashboard widget?

How do you copy a website html to paste into an iWeb 09 html snippet? Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget? That would be too easy. Do I need some other software for copying the html?

Photog Dog wrote:

Drag your pointer over the embed code so that it is all highlighted in blue. Then do ⌘C to copy it and then paste it into iWeb's HTML Snippet window by doing ⌘V.
Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget?
No — Only the general ⌘C and ⌘V editing commands mentioned above.
Do I need some other software for copying the html?
No.

Hyperlink styles in menu look correct in editor but wrong in Preview or real Web Browser

The default hyperlink style of my site is:
Normal or Visited links are black, boldface and underlined
Hovering or active links are grey boldface and underlined
Except for my menu where I want them this way:
Normal, Visited or Active links are black, no boldface and no underline
Hovering links are grey and underlined
But I can't manage to do it!
The items appear in boldface with no underlines and no colour change (so the only hint when you hover them is the pointer changing from arrow to hand)
The only different is the last item that is the only one that has submenu and is not a hyperlink by itself. It doesn't appear in boldface but again no underline or colour change. Also the first item of this submenu appears without boldface.
in the editor the menu looks fine but in the preview or when HTML exported, the menu looks as explained.
As Menus behave differently than other hyperlinks, I've tried to click and drill down to the text in the menu then modify the text appearance using the States panel, but as I said, the menu looks fine in the editor but not in the preview or web browser.
I also have tried to remove the menu completely and creating again from scratch, but even with all the default options of the widget (not even font size change nor font type), it appears as non boldface in the editor but boldface in the preview.
You can see the menu live in the site here:
http://www.dblanco-weddings.co.uk
Pictures can be seen in the old forum here: http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse/topics/how_do_i_change_hyperlink_styles_in_a_menu

Mail sent:
I'm attaching a .muse file in response to the problem I posted here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4316724#4316724
Instead of the original Muse file for my site I thought it would be easier for you to have a minimal site that also reproduces the problem so this is the test.muse file I'm sending to you.
Meanwhile, I had to make a workaround for my actual site menu to work as intended by removing the boldface attribute from the hyperlinks default style of the site. This is the dblanco.muse file I'm also attaching. You just have to activate the boldface in the default style to have the problem again.

How to: Embed YouTube in Ibook/Location of File, Open in Dashboard Widget Code?

Hi,
I am new to the whole Mac experience and loving it after 25 years locked into the MSGATES paradigm. I have been playing around with Ibook and have made a book. I would like to embed a You Tube file and it seems it is not as simple as slecting an HTML widget and then dropping in the Youtube embed code. Or is it?
Instructions are to create a widget and then drag the widget code into the HTML widget in iBooks. I was able to make it as far as to learn I can make my YouTube video a custom dashboard widget using the "File," "Open in Dashboard" method in Safari.
Once I did this I was able to select the portion of the YouTUBE page and click to make the YouTube widget. Presto, easy as pie. But where is the .wdgt file (and/or other related files to this custom dashboard widget) stored? I was able to find the widget directory in my root but only the preinstalled widgets were there--not the the widget I was able to make with the "File," "Open in Dashboard" method.
Is this the most straightforward way to embed a You Tube file, or is there another way?
It seems this should/can be as easy as just dropping the embed code into the HTML widget in iBooks. perhaps a consideration for the next version of iBooks...
Lov'in the Apple experience

We use a container thats ratio matches the video and insert following format into the folio overlay controls for Web Content: https://www.youtube.com/embed/ jyOFS5lAG68 *PLEASE NOTE: there is a space between the embed/ the video ID. Remove it to see how the video looks when you paste the link.
We found this works on both iOS and Android.

Put Stuck dashboard widgets in backround?

I just figured out how to make a dashboard widget "stick" on the desktop, but can i make it below everything? So i can have my widgets at a glance, but not blocking my view of my other stuff.
Any help would be appriciated.

There are only two ways to have a dashboard widget on the desktop, but not floating over everything:
1) The shareware application Amnesty Singles ($10); and
2) The shareware application Amnesty Widget Browser ($20).
No other methods exist.
Disclaimer: I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link [my company developed Amnesty].

Dashboard widget to open PDF in ibook

I am in the beginning process of creating an iBook with iBook Author and need a bit of help if this is even possible. I need to make a dashboard widget using Dashcode that will download a PDF within the widget itself and have it open in iBooks. I have already used HTML to access the PDF in this way but want it to open in iBooks because it will read thr PDF better. Any idea how I can build this concept in Dashcode as a widget. Thanks for all!

Well, no luck after the updates. PDF problem still persists.
Beside this, it seems to have other compatible issues with website like ims.netiquette.com.sg too. A bug is preventing me tapping and keying in directly onto web form boxes , after I make item selection from drop-down menu.
This is truly a disaster...

Searching For Dashboard Widgets

Hi,
How do you search for Dashboard Widgets on Apple's website? Since they changed the site this year, I've found it very hard to find widgets which I know for a fact are listed on the site. For example, if I type into the Search bar in the top-right corner "tomatometer", I get no results. The only way I can see of finding the Tomatometer widget on Apple.com is to manually browse through the Widget Browser.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Easy enough to find. They are here.

My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget.

My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget. Since change to lion all slowed down do I need more ram ( have 2 gig). Lost some icons in web site icons and other random icons. So far SL better.

Yeah, it was purchased in August 2008. I'm not really sure what a charge cycle is, but I do plug it in and unplug it a lot to a power source. Mainly because I keep my computer on most of the time (either on or on sleep). So between taking it to classes and stuff, I'll recharge in between and when it's really low, otherwise I run it off the battery most of the time.
On a sidenote, I have went to that information thing about about the battery after letting it sit plug in for a few hours, and now it has this information:

Web browser zoom and text size

Has anyone figured out how to respect requests by the user from the web browser to zoom or change text size? I tried it on Adobe's home page and it seems to work for the most part, so I know it's possible, but I don't know a not too painful way of implementing this in Flex. You'd have to use the ExternalInterface to register some Javascript functions that captured the correct events and passed in the zoom or text size then change that in your Flex app as appropriate, which would take a bit of work. I'm always looking for the shortcut on everything. So if anyone knows of a widget or settings, etc. that would help in this respect, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Dashboard (Widget) turning ON/OFF automatically...Please Help!!

Everything was working fine yesterday...
I don't know if these two events are related, but today when I turned ON my computer and tried logging online I saw that Comcast had turned OFF my Internet Connection because of a late payment. Moments latter, after I made the payment and got my internet re-connected again this started happening...
I logged online and for a minute or so it was fine, then all of a sudden there was a weird brief moment were I did not have any control over my computer... I thought something was being installed without my consent. So I tried logging OFF but the computer was Frozen, So I Shut down the computer manually using the ON/OFF button on my Display.... I don't remember exactly all the details of what else I did, but a few minutes latter I turned my computer back ON...
My (Widget) dashboard window and the Volume Indicator started turning ON/OFF automatically. And now it's happening every few minutes and I can't control it.
If I'm on my Desktop screen the Finder Window pops open prompting me: "you can not use the name that begins with Dot." The Keyboard keys Freeze and I have to randomly hit a bunch of keys or shut the computer down to use it again. As I was typing this email it would interrupt it and add one of these numbers (.0 or 3) to were ever the cursor was currently at. The mouse seams to work OK, but sometimes it freezes too.
And, If I'm online the browser would freeze whenever the Widget application automatically started turning ON/OFF on the screen.
Here are things I tried that I thought would fix it:
1. I trashed the widget preferences from my User/Library.
2. I trashed the widgets I thought were causing the problem.
3. After the above did not work, I trashed the Dashboard Widget Application thinking it would be Deleted out of my computer. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem... I found out that the Widget dashboard Application is still somewhere in the sub layer of the system.
I don't know what is going on and need some help here...
So, can anyone Please help me out.. any Step by Step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Frank, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First thing I'd do is Run Repair Disk from your Tiger DVD or discs that shipped with your Mac.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.) Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.
Next, I'd try to repair this with 10.4.9 PPC Combo Update.
This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Good luck, let us know.
