How to open Internet explorer from java

how can one open internet explorer through java and also displays the desired webpage in it.

p = r.exec(runie);Whenever you use exec on a Runtime object, you need to get an InputStream off the System.err output. If this InputStream is not absorbed in some way, then it can stop the process. The process may not reach its destined finish point. The Java Documentation does not inform you of this, though experience will give you some unanswered questions, such as 'Why does this process never reach the finish point'.

Opening Internet Explorer from Air Iframe

This probably has been answered here before and I apologize if this is a repost but I haven't been able to find an answer that works.
I have an AIR application that uses an Iframe to connect to a server side page. within that page I need to be able to click a link and launch an Internet Explorer Browser NOT an Air window.
I have tried several methods and none seems to work,
does anyone have a sample (both the parent and child frames) that they know works ,
It will save me allot of headache
I truly appreciate it
Ray

Thanks but I would need the complete code.
You see I want to open a particuler page from a link, the link will call, lets say homepage.jsp, I want to include an applet in homepage.jsp that will force the page to open up in a IE window. Is that possible????
If it is what do I need to do?
Thanks

Opening Internet Explorer from a link w/ applet

Hi there,
I was wondering if anybody out there had the code for an applet that will spawn Internet Explorer application and open up a specific address.
How we want it to work. From a link open a page that will spawn Internet Explorer with the help of the applet. Is it do-able or not?
A quick response would be great.
Thanks

How can I open Internet Explorer from Forms?

I could manage to open IE with HOST giving it the correct path from IE in my computer.
But how can I find out what directory IE is? Should I use OLE2? If yes, then how do I use it?
Thanks,
Ariadne

I thinck that the path doesn't matter...
Using Host('start http://www.oracle.com') will work no matter where IE is located

Why does my .jpg file sent from my laptop change into a mime-attachment when I try and retrieve it on my iPad?

I am trying to send myself pictures and simple graphics that I have created in photoshop so that I can save them in my photos app on my iPad and iPhone. I've tried a variety of file sizes and even saved them out as .png and .pdf files, but when I send them and go to my mail on the iPad, they show up as mime-attachments which cannot be opened.
When I look at the files in the inbox on my laptop, they are exactly as i sent them. When I look at the same exact email on my iPad and iPhone it shows as the mime-attachment.
What gives????

Set up drop box on computer and iPad use it to move photos instead.
This may help answer the problem if you want to use email

Why does "Sender Name" randomly change from the actual sender to another sender from recently received mail?

When the email is first received the "Sender Name" is correct. When opening Thunderbird later the "Sender Name" has been changed in a random fashion to another sender of recently received email.

Maybe the indexing needs fixing.
right click on foldre and select 'Properties'
Then click on 'Repair folder' button
click on OK
refresh folder pane / clickon another folder and then go back.

After updating Firefox, I am unable to open word attachments from my Outlook email, although the download works when I check emails in Internet Explorer

Following a Mozilla update, Jave console has been disabled and is incompatible with the new upgrade. I'm not sure if this is affecting my ability to open word documents that are attached to email, but I am unable to do this when I open my emails though Firefox. If I open them in Internet Explorer, the .doc file will open normally. I just prefer to use firefox rather that internet explorer

I just got off the phone with support. First, he claimed that WAV files are not supported (although the user guide claims it is). Next, he suggested that WAV files that are transfered through BB Desktop will work, but not files that are downloaded from attachments. Finally, he stated that the file must be in the Music folder in order to work. I was able to use AIR Browser to move the file over to the Music folder, but it still won't play. When BB Desktop syncs music files over, does it create a specific subdirectory in the Music folder? Has anyone been able to get a WAV file to play (regardless of how it got on to the PlayBook)?

Problem in Opening HTML Page in Internet Explorer from my Swing Application

Hi,
I am opening a HTML file in Internet Explorer from my swing application.I am using the code given below
private final static String WIN_FLAG = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private final static String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
String cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
// url is HTML file Path
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
Here there are two things i need to address ...
1)The HTML file is opening up,but it always opens behind the swing application,that makes me every time to maximize the HTML file after it being opened up.I want to open it in front of the Swing Application.I need to implement "Always On Top" functionality for the html page.
2)Whenever i trigger action to open different HTML page,it opens in new Internet Explorer window.
I need to open it in same IE window.
how to solve out these problems ??? any help would be greatly appreciated .Thanks in advance.

any idea about this ????

Message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer" in blue bar. Why

First time user. Instructions on how to use not clear. My problem is the message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer?" suddenly appeared in blue bar. Occurs with I click on links in PDF. What caused this? How to fix? How to avoid it from happening again?
Same conflict with email links, just different message: "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open mail?"
Goal: Do not want to switch apps and do not want to be asked this question.
Environment: Windows 8, file developed in Publisher 365, Reader 10 "I think"

Pat
Thank you for responding. I have recreated the error, but cannot figure out how to use Snipping Tool to get screenshot of a Windows 8 panel. Have the tool placed in the tool bar, but tool bar not accessible on the PDF display. Any suggestions?

If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do
