Web preview opens up wordpad, not browser...

I get code numbers in wordpad, not images in browser, when I try "preview in browser button"

Have you been using wordpad to edit html files by hand?
You have to set PC to see the generated files as browser files instead.
Someone else had a similar problem and fixed it this way. Don't know the specifics because I don't speak fluant PC.

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

PDF form open in viewer not browser

I'm having a problem with a PDF form on my website. I've tested it up and down with no problems, yet I'm getting feedback that users complete the form, click "submit" and nothing happens...and I don't get the form using form central.
I've determined that the problem is that users are completing the form in a web browser, rather than in adobe reader/acrobat.
I would like to make a change to the form, or something with my site that would automatically open the pdf in a viewer (or detect if the user does not have Acrobat) - versus having to hope that the user follows the directions that I've posted to my site.
Please help!

Hi;
Yes, unfortunately when you post a PDF online as you discovered it does not work right when filled out in a web browser and you want/need users to download the PDF and use Adobe Reader or Acrobat to fill out the PDF. It sounds like you are likely doing what you can - directing users as to what to do, you can see if you can get a good recommendation from the Acrobat forums on this topic (it is a general PDF issue and not specific to FormsCentral): http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat
You also might want to do some google searching, this Stack Overflow discussion might be helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6794255/html-download-a-pdf-file-instead-of-opening-the m-in-browser-when-clicked

.svgz web preview in save options not working

Hi there
I'm a longtime Photoshop / After Effects type with rather less experience in Illustrator, using a newly built PC system
I've just gone to save a diagram created in Illustrator as a .svgz in order to pass to the web guy, but wanted to preview it first, so hit the Web Preview button in the Save dialogue box.... and nothing happens. I have several browser windows opn - IE9 64bit, Chrome - but the svgz appears in none of them
I presumed maybe I need to link Illustrator to a particular web browser somehow, but can't seem to find reference to how to do this, if it is necessary...
How do I get the web preview to happen?
All help appreciated...
I'm using latest Illustrator in Win 7 64bit
jON

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Win 7 64 bit, and I cannot get Web Preview to work when suning Export, and exporting a file to Flash swf with frames. I have IE set on the Save for Web option, but no such option exists in the Export dialogue box. This option worked fine for the teacher in the help video that shows how to animate a snowboarder graphic when exporting to svf, but I cannot find anything dealing with this in the forums. Are you aware of why this is not working and how to implement it?

Preview opens files under the browser

(This question was asked in the Printing and Faxing forum first because it dealt with Preview. Someone thought it would be more appropriate here.)
Hi,
When I download a file that Preview opens, Preview will open it and then my browser (Camino) will then appear on top of the opened file (and Preview will be the last app I have to tab to to get to it, even though it is the MOST RECENT app used...). How can I get whatever app opened my downloaded file to stay on top? I think Real files work ok. I am not sure if many other types of files do though.
I don't see a preference in Preview, Camino, OSX or Safari that would control that. I do a pref in Safari that says "Open safe files after downloading" and pdfs are considered safe but that doesn't quite fit the bill here.
Thanks for any help.
I have also asked this in a Camino forum but have gotten nowhere with it.
Cheers,
John L

I looked at this thread I'd started awhile back and followed Dr Smoke's advice about resetting the Launch Services Database. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=480940&tstart=0)
I was then left with some icons that say they are for Safari but are either Camino docs or Preview docs. (Dr Smoke's advice fixed that last time (but left unsticky prefs for opening apps.))
I finally remembered that I had to go into Safari and tell it that my default browser was Camino (1.5) and after doing that, ALL of my icons are correct. The docs Camino owned have the correct Camino icon AND the Preview stuff has the Preview icon. (What is the connection to Preview, I wonder...)
pdfs continue to open under Camino though. I should say, they actually open for a fraction of a second on top of Camino but quickly go underneath it. Always have.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can live with this but think it shouldn't happen.
Cheers,
John

Getting a quicktime stream to open in quicktime, not browser

Hi all,
I am trying to stream some quicktime videos (.mov, H.264) from my website. For the standard res. version, it is fine to have it play in the browser, but I would like to have the HD versions open up in quicktime player automatically, like the HD trailers do on apple's website. How would I go about doing this (I have little experience streaming videos).

The key is that you need a "poster movie" to embed into your web page. The poster movie can be anything that the QuickTime plug-in can display...a movie, a sound clip, or just a still image...even just a still image that looks like a PLAY button. The key is, it has to be a file that QuickTime can play, and you have to embed it into your web page.
In the embed code, you need to include an additional parameter, the HREF parameter, which includes the URL for your streaming movie. Then you also need to include in the HREF parameter the TARGET directive, with the target identified as <quicktimeplayer>.
So your embedded movie ought to look something like this:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
WIDTH="w%" HEIGHT="h%"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
ID="movie1">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="poster.mov">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="HREF" VALUE="<rtsp://my.streaming.url> T<quicktimeplayer>"
<embed src="poster.mov"
width="w%"
height="h%"
controller="false"
name="movie1"
href="<rtsp://my.streaming.url> T<quicktimeplayer>"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime">
</embed>
</object>
Of course, substitute your height and width for h% and w%, and your poster movie name and stream protocol and url where appropriate. And you really should use a Javascript method to write this code into your page so that it will work in Internet Explorer.
The real key here is that no normal web link will fire off QuickTime Player. But if you embed a poster movie, then that movie will be displayed...and more important, a user's click will be interpreted by, not by the browser's rendering engine, but rather the QuickTime browser plug-in, which knows how to start QuickTime Player.

You should never install software or a Firefox extension when a website asks you to do this as this is likely an effort to install malware.
You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.

Tried to update firefox to 9.0.1, did not work, tried to go back to 8.0.1, now it will not browse and no bookmarks are showing.

I got message that a Firefox browser update was available. I tried to update a couple times and got message that another Firefox browser was running on my computer, so I tried removing version 8.0.1 and used Internet Explorer to download Firefox 9.0.1 and install it. I had saved what I thought was my bookmarkbackups folder on a separate hard drive. The new version would never load or open and kept giving me .dll files that were missing, so I uninstalled that version 9.0.1 and tried going BACK to Firefox v 8.0.1 . Now that will open but will not browse to any sites, not even Google, and all my bookmarks are not showint even though I pasted them from the hard drive copy to the bookmarkbackups folder. Can someone help me get Mozilla Firefox working again and how to import my bookmarks?
Also, when Firefox opens I get this message every time:
"Alert:
Could not initialize the application’s security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application’s profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."

I went to the link you said to and then clicked on the "Firefox Free Download, 9.0.1 for Windows, English (US)" and that took me to ''http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-9.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US'' which had another limk to click on to start the download.
The file downloaded but when I tried to run it my AntiVirus (ZoneAlarm) said that it was corrupt. So I removed that file and downloaded another from the same site and ZoneAlarm said that was infected and a contained possible malicious virus.
So now I have no Mozilla Firefox and do not know how to get it back in a version that will run.
Anyone, please help if you can.

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Help ! web page navigation links are not broken but do not show up when viewing on browser

multiple page website in progress, links checked site wide; none broken...linked all pages relative to: Site Root.When opening content file and index.html file on my desktop only the background color appears. What have I overlooked?

Nancy O, since you were kind enough to respond I thought that I would ask you for more help. I took your suggestion and also went to the Adobe DW help / preview pages section this is what I found:
Note: Content linked with a site root-relative path does not appear when you preview documents in a local browser unless you specify a testing server, or select the Preview Using Temporary File option in Edit > Preferences > Preview In Browser. This is because browsers don’t recognize site roots—servers do.
Nancy O I linked the 12 pages together as Site Root-Relative and I do as you said to no avail. Since this website does not have a domain name (yet); is it possible that I may have to relink all as Document-Relative? and if so is there a faster way than manually switching one by one ( it's over 270 links) Thank you again for your help.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT opens additiional IE browser.

Hi All,
I am using web.show_document (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') ) to open pdf and msg files stored at a location. For PDF files, web.show_document works fine and pdf file gets open. However for msg (email) files, a new browser gets open along with msg file. User need to close this additional browser.
Also the word files opens in IE browser. We need not to open MS office files in IE browser.
Any suggestions to overcome this issue.
Regards,
Vinit
Edited by: Vinit on Feb 21, 2011 2:37 AM

Vinit,
Your code explicetly opens a new "Blank" browser window. The reason the new browser window goes away with the .pdf files is because you have an OS MIME association for .pdf's which controls how the file is opened on the OS. Clearly, there is no MIME association for the other file types.
web.show_document (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') )Try '_self' or '_parent' in place of '_blank'. For more information on the Web.Show_Document built-in please check the Forms Help system.
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

2 issues: 1. Firefox crashes everytime I try to open QuickBooks online 2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. Please advise.

2 issues:
1. Firefox crashes every time I try to open QuickBooks online. I have submitted numerous crash reports.
2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. I have set the default to Microsoft Outlook and also tried changing it to Gmail. Each time I click an email link on any web site, however, it just opens up a blank page instead of one of my email programs.

I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asitetrail.com%2Faskearth.com
It doesn't match yours exactly. There is an iframe with a Google map in it in the "Hosting Analysis" section, which in your pasted page seems to be the "Site Server" section.
Which Google site did you search?

Web Previewer not working in 9iDS

I'm trying to get a generated forms module to run automatically in the web previewer after I generate it. In the Forms Generator Options dialog under the Run tab I have "Run as a Web Form" and "Run Form Automatically" boxes checked. JInitiator 1.3.1.9 is installed and I believe running - the JInitiator Control Panel dialog has the "Enable JInitiator" box checked (does this need to be running?). I have also started up OC4J.
When I generate the module I get the dialog at the end stating that generation is complete but the form does not come up in Web Previewer. Furthermore, "Run the form in Web preview mode" is not in the list of the "List Actions" box in the message window.
Any ideas?
I'm using Designer 9i release 2 (v. 9.0.2.9).

I think Note 198384.1 How To Run Generated Forms via Designer 9i
is what you are looking for.
"Checked for relevance on 19-Feb-2009"
goal: How To Run Generated Forms via Designer 9i/10g
fact: Oracle Designer 9.0/10g
fact: Design Editor
fact: Forms Generator
fact: Reports Generator
fix:
When a form module is created and generated in Designer, one of the actions
available in the Build Action list is to test run the module.
However, in the 9iDS Release 2 product set, the ability to run a Form via a
Client - Server GUI interface has been removed. Instead, forms can only be
run on a Forms Service via a web browser, whether the form is being run from
Designer or from within Forms Builder.
If a Forms Service has not been setup, or is not available to the development
system, then a "reduced version" is available via software installed as part
of 9iDS Release 2 - this comprises of the Jinitiator and OC4J listener. Steps
for settings these up from a 9iDS Release 2 install and running them on the
local, client PC, are given in Note 198297.1.
To enable the Build Action "Run Form from web server" in the Design
Editor, the following additional steps need to be taken :-
1. Forms Generator Options.
Ensure that the following File Destinations are explicitly set; it is
suggested that the same directory be used :-
Forms Options tab -> Destination of Generated Files
Menu Options tab -> Destination of Generated Files
Compile -> Form Executable From Binary -> Destination
Compile -> Menu Executable From Binary -> Destination
Run -> Web Browser : Ensure this is set to a valid web browser installed
in the local PC.
If the Web Browser setting is not entered, then the "Run Form ..." action
will not be added to the Build Action list.
In addition, the following option can be checked :-
Run -> Run Form Automatically
This will cause the form to be run automatically at the end of generation,
via the Forms Service and browser.
2. Preference Settings.
The preference settings group "Web Deployment" holds the preferences that
are used to determine what Forms Service to use when attempting to run the
form from Designer.
WEBPTH (Server form location path) = The local file path where the FMB
and FMX files have been generated to. This is the File Destination set
above in the Generator Options.
WEBURL (Server base URL) = The base URL of the Forms Service.
If a "standard" Forms Service is being used, then this URL will be provided
by the administrator of the Forms Service. However, if the "reduced version"
mentioned above is being used on the client PC, the text for this value is
constructed like so :-
"http://<Local PC Name>.<Domain>:8888/forms90/f90servlet"
where <Local PC Name> is the Full Computer Name of this PC, as defined in
the
Network Identification tab of the Systems applet in the Control Panel
(for Windows 2000)
and <Domain> is the domain which this PC has logged onto, again defined
in
Network Identification tab, for Windows 2000.
Alternatively, if the PC is running stand-alone, then can be omitted.
The rest of the string - the port number of 8888 and the virtual directory
of "/forms90/f90servlet" - are the defaults used by the "reduced version"
of the Forms Service - these are controlled by the values in the file
"cauprefs.ora" in the root directory of the 9iDS Release 2 Oracle home.
These preferences can be set at higher levels than the Module - at the
Container level, or in a preference set. However, note that if the "reduced
version" Forms Service is being used on each client PC, then the WEBURL
details will be specific to each client PC - the preference will therefore
have to be updated depending on which client PC is generating then running
the form.
Comment: where speaking about 9iDS Release 2, it is also applicable for 10g iDS
