in the above i'm getting the following error: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isnt associated with any program"
I'm using an <A> tag with an onclick event to open a window with JS (window.open)... In FIREFOX, if I click very quickly, multiple windows open. Not a problem in IE.
I have web page where user can upload file. He can select which file to upload with standard HTML input of type file. I want to add this feature: when user select some file (e.g. picture, pdf etc.) in file select dialog, I want to add link to selected local file. When user click on it browser(maybe associated application) should open local file so user can review what he selected. I was experimenting with urls with "file" protocol but it works only with html file located on local computer not for one on web server. I found that this is because of security restriction in browsers.
I have text area that includes the full path for a local file on our company network. The files are usually excel sheets or docs. How can I have it so when they clicks the file it opens the local file?
I need to be able to search through an xml located on my local machine with an html page. Here's the thing: this whole system (html files, xml file) will always be on my local machine. Because it's a class project it won't be on a server. So here's the scenario: I navigate to where my files are located (say C:) and I double click my index.html page and this page opens in my browser and from this page I need to be able to search my xml file which is at the same location. I've tried xmlhttprequest and it won't open the xml file I'm guessing because I don't need an http request.
Here's what I have so far: if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else { xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.open("GET","C:MovieDB.xml",false); xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
function searchDB() { if(!xmlDoc){ alert("error") } var keyword = $('#txtBox').val(); var searchVal = $('#basicCategory :selected').text(); var allitems = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Movie"); for(var i=0;i<allitems.length;i++){ alert(allitems[i].getElementsByTagName(searchVal[0]. childNodes[0].nodeValue); } } The code doesn't make it past the xmlhttp.send() line.
I have a photo editing business with many people working in Photoshop. I am currently developing a web based application (joblist) using Javascript and PHP which should allow the photoshop designers to browse and open files/images directly from joblist/web browser into photoshop. The reason I want this instead of browsing folder is that I have a database where I store who worked on which file, when and how long it took. The concept is that, designers will select a file and click on start, as soon as they click on start the original file will open in Photoshop and there will be an entry into database (using PHP).
Once they finish the task they will close the file and click on Finish button. My joblist application will be published in a local server and the file will be open on a local network, so when they save the file it will be saved where the source file is located in (local server). The application should work in both PC and Mac. How to write the code (PHP or Javascript) which can open the file from browser (local server) directly into desktop application e.g. PHotoshop or Illustrator?
I am using window.open in an AJAX page and it works in both IE and FF but in the latter the hourglass stays up and both the progress bar and the small animated circle-of-dots graphic keep on running indefinitely in the new window.
I can press the STOP button to get them to stop, but I'm wondering if there is something else I can do to get rid of this behavior. The page is most definitely loading properly and completely.
If it matters what I am writing to the new document is an XML document after being passed through an XSL sheet. Sometimes the XML doc is large enough to fill several pages of the viewport, but often it is just a few lines and the problem is the same regardless.
For an in-house web application (it will only be deployed on Firefox browsers with JavaScript turned on), I need to open a preview window (which needs to be a separate window, even if Firefox is set to open targeted links in new tabs) and be able to change the preview window's location.href from the opening window, even after a new page is loaded into that window.
I wrote following code for the purpose to single right click to open new window, while left click would open another window. It works for IE but does not work for Firefox.

I have written a simple code to open up a new window onclick of a button as follows;
function loadExamp() { var reqType = getElementValue("reqType", 1);
[code]....
The problem is that this code is working on Google Chrome but not in Firefox and IE. Why is that and how can I resolve this issue.I am using Firefox 3.6.11 and IE 8.0.XX.Also I tried to open a new window using <a href> option with the same URL and its working but the only problem is that I want to pass my next JSP an argument which is only possible with function or script.
I googled it but couldn't find much information except that there is some security problem. For that I have disabled the 'Pop up Bloker' on both Firefox and IE but still not working.When I click my button there is no activity with 'Firefox' but IE gives me error as follows;
Firstly I know this issue has been addresses a lot already but as a newbie to HTML and Web Development I am unable to get the idea. according to documentations and solutions proposed on different forums a popup or child window can be only closed using window.close() if it is opened via window.open() function.
Through window.open or window.showmodaldialog, I want to open a word or excel document in Print Preview mode. Bcos I don't want the user to make any changes or save it but the user can ONLY VIEW OR take a print out.
cannot get a new (picture) window to open in Firefox without the title and address bars (or anything else, just the image). IE shows just the title bar, with or without the code:
function newWindow() {window.open('./pageaddress.html','winname','top=20,left=20,directories=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350');} </script>
The window opens fine, but always shows the address and title bars. I have read the W3 Schools options list (and other posts) and tried both 'no' and '0' as values, without any success. What am I missing and is there any way to make this work - it didn't even work in the W3 Schools 'try it yourself' test page!
I have seen some very nice 'slowly-opening' windows (increasing in size)
I have a window open, let's say index.html. On the page I have a link that executes a javascript. I want the javascript to open file new.html in the same window that index.html was displayed in. How do I do this? Everything I try opens a new window.
I'm trying to link to some PDF files from an HTML page that will be used for a presentation. The user wants to have the windows open up in Adobe Reader 7.0 at maximum size (not full screen).
I'd rather a more reliable system than simply resixing the window before hand because I won't always be able to do that before the presentations.
I can make changes to the Adobe Reader configuration or registry (if needed) to make the program always open in full screen. but I would prefer it if I can control the behavior from the HTML link itself.
I have been working on this and cant figure it out.I have an index.html as my main file and I wanted to have a pop-up window that will also open together with the index file. the pop-up window is a notepad like type, file name is clipboard.html.Addon: i started adding code to have the pop-up to stay on the right side of the screen and always on top.
I am working on a project in which I have to open my flash demo in a modal window. I got all the code for modal window and it is working great.The only problem is I am not able to open a flash file in modal window.
I am building a static website, and I have images in my index page each image has a title name, how do I make an image clicked to open in a different window if clicked, I have a template page designed to be used for opening an image in a different window if clicked but I don`t know how to configure everything. Secondly, I would want the image to be placed in a particular section in the template page.
I have an <input type="file"> field and I would like the file chooser dialog to open automatically after the page loads, for example on onload(). I have found a trick with executing click() in js on the file element but it seems to only work in IE. Are there any methods that would work in FF and other browsers as well?
