Windows 7: associating preferred editor with .html makes think it's not default browser

I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 and FF 3.6.13 .
My preferred editor for '''editing''' .html files is gvim. However, when I permanently associated .html files to be opened by gvim, the next time I start FF it says it is not the default browser and if I want to set it to default.
When I do this, make FF my default browser, and then double click any .html file, it doesn't open in my preferred editor but in FF.
I always thought default browser primarily means for browsing the web, but in my case it clashes with how I prefer to work with local documents.
This is tested with a new, empty profile.

I understand, but I want it as '''default browser''', but not default file opener.
I also want that check in case another browser comes along bad and takes my FF away.
I don't know, for me these are two separate things, but it seems they aren't. Confusing.

How do I make the UK Safari my default browser when I log on ?

Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but Im on broadband and and when I log onto Safari I get the USA version, so if I want to go to the Store page I get prices in dollars, which means I then have to go to a bookmark for the Apple Store UK to get what I want. So heres my problem:
1. Am I correct that there is a UK Safari browser and if so
a) Is it identical to the USA Safri browser with news etc
b) How would I make the UK version my default bowser ?
As usual hope this makes sense !
Albert

Albert,
Although some default bookmarks may be specific to the U.S., Safari is generally not country specific. User modification is simply a matter of entering your preferences or deleting unwanted bookmarks.
If you want the UK store as your "Home page", open Safari>Preferences...>General>and paste http://www.apple.com/uk/ into the "Home page:" field.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

Cannot open HTML files on Win7 using FF 3.6.10 as default browser.

When I click on any HTML file in Windows 7 (64 bit, Ultimate) I get an error dialog that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
The only way I can open local HTML files is with IE as default browser - which I do not want.
I first noticed the error when clicking links in emails in Outlook 2010. But now it also happens on any local HTML file - like help files (help files that I really need to be able to easily read).
I have tried editing the registry (this solution found at http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/03/25/fix-general-failure-when-open-link-or-url-from-outlook-and-windows-mail/) which temporarily fixed the problem, but would not work a second time to fix the issue as the change I made was still present in the registry, so nothing to do.
I tried making IE the default browser then making FF the default browser again, but that didn't work.
I tried checking the default program for HTML files in Win7, but that is set to FF.
I don't get it. This just started happening in the last 2 weeks or so.
The "This happened" drop-down below is not entirely correct. This happens whenever I click on a local HTML link or a link in an Outlook email. But, the "This happened" drop down does not have an option for "When I click a local HTML link".

( links in emails )
this is what fixed my issue with links in my windows live mail
in Firefox go to tools >options >advanced > general tab > at the bottom click the check now button to make sure Firefox is your default browser . if its not click yes to make it default now your links in emails should open in Firefox properly

Can't Make Firefox My Default Browser

I like Safari just fine but I want to make Firefox my default browser, OK? OK. Good.
Now then, how do I tell Safari to STOP being my default browser?
I have Firefox installed on the Mac and in its preferences, it thinks it's the default browser.
So I went to Safari's preferences to make sure it doesn't still think IT's the default browser, but it does. So I went to the "general" tab under preferences. I see "Safari" as the default browser. I click the drop-box to choose a different application. Only "Firefox" is not listed anywhere among the applications.
I installed Firefox from one of those "hard drive" like icons on my desktop. It runs fine from an icon in the dock. But near as I can tell, it's not listed among the applications on "Macintosh HD/Applications" directory. I suspect getting it listed there is going to be the first step in solving my default browser problem.
So, what do I have to do to get "Firefox" listed among my applications, and then what else do I have to do to get it to be the default browser?
Thanks,
--PS

No problemo, sorry about that.
There is also a "Firefox.dmg" file on my desktop... I can tell that's not a .app, but... what is it exactly?
The .dmg file is a disk image file. That is the format a lot of programs you download will be in. Some open by themselves to reveal the .app file some you have to double click.
Double click on the firefox.dmg file. That should bring up a window that has a file called firefox.app. Right click with your mouse if you have one and drag it to the applications folder in your finder window.
If you do not use a mouse put your cursor over thefirefox.app file. Now hold down the trackpad button and the ctrl key. Now you can use the trackpad to drag the file to the applications folder and drop it there.
I prefer to not have any programs on the desktop. I like to use the dock to hold my favorites. Then the ones I don't use very often I just open from the applications folder.

NavigateToURL not working on Mac Projector with Firefox as Default Browser

I'm making a CD with both a PC (exe) and Mac (app) projector file on it. I have a button that navigates the user to our client's website with the following code:
var webBtnURL:String = "http://www.clientswebsiteURL.com";
web_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoWebsite);
function gotoWebsite(e:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(webBtnURL), "_blank");
This works perfectly on the PC projector file, with either Firefox or IE as the default browser. However, I've found that if Firefox is the default browser on the Mac side, it just opens Firefox and navigates to a blank page. If Safari is the default browser it works fine. The Mac I was testing this on was a PowerPC instead of an Intel Mac, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but it had the latest version of Firefox on it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I need to look more into Air. I just don't know much about it at the moment. What are its benefits? Would the end users need to have it on their computers or will it be packaged into the EXE just like the Flash Player is?
kglad wrote:
everyone that hasn't already set flashplayer security settings will be warned about a security sandbox issue and allowed the option to allow your file to access another file on the internet. if they chose to not allow that, your url will not open.
I don't recall having set any security setting for Flash on my Mac (although it's possible I did at some point) and I didn't get any options, just a blank webpage. If I were to go back into the Flash settings on my Mac, I may be able to allow the projector to open a website even when Firefox is the default browser?
Thanks.

IPad safari is using bing as default browser, want to go back to original safari with my bookmarks

On IPhone 4 I was ased if I wanted to make Bing my default browser, I did, but when I went to use Safari on my IPad 4 it had changed also and now I do not have my bookmarks. Can I restore Safari on my IPad to where I had it before and with my bookmarks?

Bing is not a browser its a Search Engine. Safari is the Browser.
If you need to change Search Engines you can do so from Settings->Safari->Search Engine. Choose the one you want. Default is Google.
Search Engine selection has nothing to do with your bookmarks.
If you can't see them anymore, you can try to reset the iPad by holding down the home and sleep/power buttons at the same time until the Apple logo shows up. Let the iPad reboot.

clear method on how to make Firefox my main browser

[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-default-browser-android How to make Firefox for Android your default browser]
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

Textarea with HTML editor is not working

Hi all,
This is producing me a real headache.
I created the simplest application in the world with one Textarea with HTML editor, and the editor control does not show the usual tool bar for fonts, color, alignment, etc. Just a ordinary textarea.
Moreover, this was working before... I moved to another location in my work (me, not the server). Yes, I thought about the Internet Explorer, but Firefox has the same issue.
So any idea I can try to make this work?
I have another applications already in production with the same issue.
Need help!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Lukas,
I would go and integrate FCKEDITOR (http://www.fckeditor.net/ ) into your application.
Here are instructions on how to achieve this (sorry but only in German):
http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/einbinden_fckeditor/index.html
It basically means:
1) copying the files from fckeditor under the /images directory
(you can use the instructions here: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html)
2) creating two shortcuts INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS and EDITOR
3) placing the shortcut INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS into the page html header and
4) placing the shortcut EDITOR into the post element text of your plain textarea element
That's it.
BTW, FCKEDITOR has been included in Apex 3.0 as a standard item type.
Regards,
~Dietmar.

How can I use javascript in a Text Area with HTML editor??

My question is... how can I use javascript in Text Area with HTML editor??
I can use javascript functions that change the content of Text Areas but i can´t if i try in text area with html editor....
I need to limit number of characters in a text area with html editor and i can´t.
could anybody help me please?

I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showtext(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
alert(editortext);
</script>
Hope this helps.

Use of javascript and textarea with HTML editor

Hi all,
I have been trying to use some onchange javascript in the HTML Form Element Attributes of an item which is a textarea with an HTML Editor. It just seems to ignore the code. When you "view source" the code does not seem to be there.
What I am attempting to do is described in thread: detecting changes to items prior to submitting page
i.e. to warn a user that if they leave the page without saving they will lose their changes. It works fine with most of the other items on the page i.e. text boxes, select lists but not the textarea with html editor.
Is there somewhere else I should be putting my js for items of this type? I have spent some time looking through the forum posts but cannot find an answer so far.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm having the same problem.
Would like to use the onChange event in a textarea with html editor.
This works in Firefox (where I don't get the html editor but only a textarea) but doesn't seem to work in IE.
Is there another way of detecting the user has changed the text in the html editor?
Thanks,
Pieter

APEX - Textarea with HTML Editor.

All,
I am working with Application Express Version 2.2.1.00.04
I have the following problem:
I have an item "Textarea with HTML Editor" which I am inserting
information CLOB in a table.
This data is consulted by a Region Report of APEX which has a Link that
will be a popup. Inside the report, I use wwv_flow_utilities.URLENCODE
(here the column is a CLOB) where it gives me the error "ORA-06502:
PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I started to investigate which might be the problem and saw that the
item "Textarea with HTML Editor" usually inserts special characters.
I show an example of the special character that inserts and which is the
error.
SELECT wwv_flow_utilities.URLENCODE(' ')
FROM dual;
This character, which is like a space in target, is bringing problems to
be able to execute the report.
A provisional solution to solve this problem is to put a REPLACE into
the Query.
Has anyone this problem.???? Do you know why this character can be
inserted??????
Thx..

Thanks Dimitri!
I'm trying to find this place in the application but I don't have enough privileges. Here, we are working with Application Express 2.2.1 and we have to upgrade to 3.1.1.
In order to improve the behaviour of HTML Editor Standard, I think we should integrate FCK to our application, do you know about any step by step explanation to achieve this? Because I was searching this information in the forums, but I can't find anything. Please, any information you can share with me will be very helpful
Thanks again!

Custom Popup - Passing values back to Textarea with HTML Editor

I have created a Custom Popup which is to populate a "Textarea with HTML Editor".
I have found that the Custom Popup works fine if the target item is defined as a "Textarea", or "Textarea (auto-height)", or "Textarea w/Character Counter" (although the counter is not automatically updated), or "Textarea w/Character Counter & Spellcheck", or "Textarea with Spell Checker".
However, if the target item is defined as "Textarea with HTML Editor" the Custom Popup does not populate the target item. No error message is produced. If the target item already had data, the data is unchanged.
Is this a known bug?

"Textarea with HTML Editor" is actually two objects on the screen with javascript keeping the data in the two objects in sync as you type in the editor.
You have to populate both objects as you try to syncronize the data from your popup.
I built a screen using dHTML that switches between the HTML Editor and the Text with Spell check and use Javascript to keep the two (actually three objects in sync)
My button that switches from one view to the other uses the following syntax:
javascript:setEqual('P9904_HTML_MESSAGE','P9904_MESSAGE','P9904_MESSAGEDiv');
'P9904_HTML_MESSAGE' is the HTML view of the data with spell check
'P9904_MESSAGE' is the html editor view of the data
'P9904_MESSAGEDiv' is the extra object that Oracle uses for the editor
This is the fuction that keeps the data in sync:
function setEqual(fromObjectID,toObjectID,htmlObjectID)
document.getElementById(toObjectID).value = document.getElementById(fromObjectID).value;
document.getElementById(htmlObjectID).innerHTML=document.getElementById(fromObjectID).value;
I hope this helps.
