Web Page Sound File Question

I built a web page years ago with an embedded sound file (.au) which would play when a photo was clicked. The sound would play while the page remained visible. Now when I launch the sound, QuickTime opens a new window with a player interface.
What has changed?
I'm using Netscape 7.2, but the same thing happens in Safari.
Internet Explorer still works the way it used to with a small QuickTime player bar appearing apart from the Browser.
Here's the link: http://www.margnat.com/chevette.html
Just click on the picture of the car.

Your problem is that you merely provided a link to the audio file; you didn't embed it in the page at all. The problem is that different browsers on different platforms with different audio players installed handle sound files in different ways. Some browsers will play the sound in the background, some will open a new page and play in a browser plug-in...as a page designer you really have no idea what is going to happen.
For that reason, when I have opted to embed audio in a web page, I usually put the audio file into a QuickTime wrapper so that I can use the QuickTime player plug-in. Here are two pages where I've supplied embedded audio--

...and...
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2006/ussfoma01.htm l
Either way, there is a QuickTime play button embedded on the page. It isn't the most efficient way to deliver audio, nor is it the most platform-agnostic, as it insures that QuickTime will play the clip regardless of the user's preference. But it has the advantage of being consistent: it will ALWAYS play in QuickTime on any browser that supports it.

In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

Web Pages and file download corruption Cisco VPN

We have a problem our users are having. Clients are having problems using Cisco 5.06 VPN along with Internet Explorer. Quite often web pages hang or load incorrectly or unformatted. Also links to documents or downloads are downloaded unusable (i.e. a PDF file that is corrupt). If you refresh the page or retry the download it will work eventually. None of these problems exist while they are directly on the corporate network. (Win7 32-bit OS)
Our standard corporate VPN installation package uses Cisco VPN 5.0.06.0160 which installs version 3.22.4.17992 of DNE (Deterministic Network Enhancer), It also installs the DNE Update version 4.9.1.1837. This combination works correctly in our standard corporate build. The problem exists in two of non-standard builds on a couple different hardware models.
If I uninstall the DNE update and the VPN client and just install the VPN client by itself without the DNE Update (which leaves the client at 3.22.4.17992 for DNE) the problem goes away and the web pages load correctly and the files download properly.
I have tried the latest DNE, and updates to the NIC driver without success. Any suggestions or logic to why the newer versions of DNE will not work. The hardware we are using are high end HP and Dell Mobile workstations that are only about a year old. We have a problem our users are having.

I would leave it alone for the next few days and do not keep restarting the Homehub. This will cause DLM (Dynamic Line Management) to kick in and lower your speeds because it will interpret the restarts as a fault. It is normal for the speeds to fluctuate during the training period. If things do not improve after the ten day training period post back for more advice.

Web pages without file extensions

Hi All
I have Mac OS X Server 10.5 running on a mac mini, i have set up my own single web page through server admin and i am able to access it perfectly by typing in safari http://intranet.
but the question i have is whenever i click on any link's on my page it will bring that page up but in the address bar have for eg http://intranet/blog/index.html
is there anyway to have it so it just says http://intranet/blog/
I am pretty new to this and am totally confused, i am not sure if i need to alter the code of the web pages. i have looked in the code and it is all href to a page but without the extension on it.
Please could someone help
Thanks

It's not entirely clear what it is you're asking.
Are you saying you never want to see the filename in the address bar and that you want the address bar to always show http://intranet/blog/ ?
If so the simple answer is no - at least not with standard web programming. The only way you could is by using advanced techniques using DHTML/AJAX or something similar where you load content in the background and change the display rather than loading a whole new page. This is truly an advanced technique.
If my understanding of what you're trying to do is wrong, please post more details of what it is you're trying to do.

When Generating Flash web pages; images files incorrectly reported as missing.

I am not expert in these, but please check out the following things and see whether it would solve your issue. (All these changes can be easily rolled back in case I'm wrong :). So make note of what you do)
As per your httpd.conf, you have chosen an automatic configuration of Apache by OWCI installer itself. What it does is create an imageserver.conf file in a separate directory and these settings will be included in your httpd.conf as you can see in the first line: Include "C:/bea/alui/plumtreeconf/".
If you check the imageserver.conf in that location, you would find a line like: Alias /imageserver/ "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/". This aliases the original path "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/" to /imageserver"
To confirm whether this is done right, check the following:
1. Acces 'http://<server ip / server name / localhost >/' from your browser
This should display the Apache home page (as per your httpd.conf, it uses the default port 80; so no port number required)
2. Access 'http://<server ip>/imageserver/' from your browser
This should display the directory structure (if its not disabled) inside your 'C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/' folder. Also confirm that all the subfolders are accessible.
3. If all the above is right, it means that your imageserver settings are right. Please check your portalconfig.xml for the correct settings: For example, <setting name="HTTPPort"> should be 7001 in your case. If its something else, change it and restart Weblogic for the settings to take effect.
Hope this helps.

Web Page sound

I've Embeded a sound file on my page having used QT Pro to convert to .MOV with QDesign Music 2 Format. Autoplay works fine locally but nothing from the server. Can anyone help? File Data size is 54.6 k.

Sending a HTML web page in email question please.

Sorry, the "Mail and address" section of the group is down.
A long time ago using windoze, I use to be able to send a entire embedded HTML Web page, not a link, in my emails so the reader does not have to click a link but can see the page right in the email.
I know email in Leo did not have this but can't find any product info as to Snow Leo allows me to do this. Can you please advise?
Thank you much.

this only works with safari. Mail uses safari engine to render html. you can also just copy+paste parts of html pages but also only from safari. it will not work well if you try it from firefox.

Firefox v. 30 won't save a page as "Web page, complete" -- NEVER

I tried to save a page as "Web page, complete" in v. 30. It used to work in v. 29. Now it never saves the original. It used to say in the Downloads list, when I did save a file, that it failed. I learned to ignore that, because the first time I would save a file, as "web page, complete," it did get listed in Windows explorer and I could open it up in Firefox and see it, looking close to the same way I saw it originally (some words are on a new line, and images are smaller).
It is most critical when I want to save a list of the journal articles I download, along with images of the check off boxes having a check mark. In v. 29, they were there. If I saved the saved page again, after checking off more boxes, it wouldn't save it but it wouldn't tell me so, either. I would have to always keep an eye on the directory listing in Windows Explorer. I learned to just save it again, and it would be saved. However, now in v. 30 it NEVER saves the main htm page of this ORIGINAL web page when I save it with the option "web page, complete," but it does save the "_files" folder for ancillary images. I now have to save the original web page as file type: "files, all," putting in the .htm as file extension. I then open it up in firefox, and none of the boxes are checked as they were in the original. So I have to recheck all the boxes again and then save it as "web page, complete". This time, the "web page, complete" works, but clearly not on the original web page. The resulting file looks like the page that got saved with the "files,all" option I saved before, but now the boxes I checked off are still checked off. I get the web page back, but not looking much like it was originally, and only after a great deal of work.
I am using Firefox 30 on XP

I appreciate your thought on this problem. Yes, all journal database searches use the same algorithm but there is something in common to all which is not present in many other kinds of web pages, e.g. PubMed abstracts or pages with just an abstract, or blog posts or news stories -- the boxes to check off (e.g. to list all abstracts and citations for the ones you choose) and the listings of links to abstracts, pdfs, supplements, etc. posted with each article description (see searches by Oxford University Press http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/search and by Sage http://online.sagepub.com/search ). The links and empty check boxes get printed on the "save page" result, but any check boxes you checked off lose the check after saving the page as a "Web page, complete."
That was not the case in v. 29. In most of the past Firefox versions, the resulting page saved does not look like the original one, because of the realignment of text and links. However, now, the functionality of those saved pages is seriously compromise. Worse, there are no images. I could tolerate what v. 29 did, but not what 30 is doing.
I just found out that although the downloads tool window list of titles that appears after you tried to save a page always lists the attempt as having "Failed", you can succeed in completing some files when you click on its name in the list. Usually, as I said in the past, you just try again and it saved in version pre-28 (I think). But as I mentioned before you can't trust what the downloads tool tells you. In the past it actually finally, after another attempt, saved the page despite telling you it failed in that window. I click on the "failed" download now and it does download, but is missing any of the list of articles found on the original web page, so certainly, the result is not what you were aiming for with the "Save", "Web page, complete" choice. The main point here is that there are no check boxes, empty or filled at all in an attempt to use "Web page, complete" option in the "Save" choice for any journal database search. I can only conclude that "Web page, complete" doesn't work for journal article searches.
The main reason for keeping a web page functionality in a "save web page" option is to be able to work on it offline. I can copy the information about specific articles I downloaded to enter into my own Reference Manager program, along with the relevant links. I can carry this web page with me to a university where I can download the article without having to run a search all over again, with the strong possibility that it won't give me all the same results as I just got at home, losing some articles I really wanted to get. Saving a web page tells me what I was interested in to begin with, which gets lost if the boxes I checked off are not in what I can save.

How do I Keep the "zoom" size setting the same each time I open Safari and from web page to web page?

I have a 27" iMac when I open Safari the web page is only 1/3 the size of the full screen Safari window. I know how to ZOOM in on the web page! My question is, How do I keep this ZOOM setting for all web pages and each time I open Safari up?

Sorry, but that's not possible.
An alternative might be to use Zoom in System Preferences > Accessibility
Or try a different screen resolutioin in System Preferences > Displays > Scaled

Flash beginner... insert SWF into web page and create play button

I am trying to insert and SWF into my webpage. I have 3 problems, 1. I am new to flash and aren't any good at it yet. 2. How do I tell the movie to stop at the end, and insert a "play again" button? 3. What do I need to do to insert that into my webpage.
I realize these aren't yes or no answers, so I even appreciate input on the best way to learn Flash for myself.

2. It can depend, but snce you are probably using the timeline, most likely you just need to put a stop(); command in the last frame to have it stop at the end.
To get it to play again, your button's function code will need to include something like: gotoAndPlay(1);
How the button code gets done depends on which version of Actionscript your file is using.
3. When you publish your swf file, also have Flash publish an html file (you set this up in the Publish Settings). You can then take that html file and copy the embedding code it contains into your web page html file. You may have to include a javascript file as well to make it work, and you can tell that by looking in the head code of the html file Flash created... that head code also needs to go into your web page html file and the javascript file needs to be placed according to how your html code targets it.
You might do best just to get the html page Flash creates working for you first. It might make figuring out how to move it into your web page easier.
My opinion: the best way to learn Flash for yourself is to just dig in and keep at it. You will lose hair and sleep and your mind as you go, but eventually you either get used to that and/or you overcome it.

How to import html5 animation (created/published using flash) into a web page using Dreamweaver.

How do I get this into an exisitng web page using Dreamweaver?

Hi Nancy,

You can just give the web pages different file names and you will have multiple web pages, but I suppose you mean that you want seperate url's to point to each user?

File, create PDF, from web page, entire site...questions

I am new to adobe, is this the proper forum for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for macintosh? I think yes...
Created a PDF from: File, create PDF, from web page, entire site.
Is there a way to print this without the background color? If you printed from a browser, you could choose not to print the back ground color. I know exactly the color.
Is there a way to make this PDF look like the web, with no page breakes? I have tried various things, but the page breaks are always displayed.
Is there a way to create bookmarks on somthing other than the title tag in the web site? The title tag is an SEO 1 sentence summary of the page, which makes for very long book mark names.
Thanks for your help.
