I am building a website using iWeb on my Mac (latest versions of everything)
I am using the Html Snippet Widget to embed the applet tag.
Since iWeb does not seem to have any specific support for Java applets, my plan was to just publish the tag and then send over the required Jar file afterward.
However I can't get past the "apply" - because after I press apply, iWeb just hangs indefinitely.
Here is the tag...
<applet code="myApplet.class" codebase="java/" width="1000" height="700" archive="myArchive.jar"
<parameter name="example" value="morestuff">
<parameter name="title" value="some text">
</applet>
I am seeing some interesting messages in the console about MalformedUrLException - unsupported protocol iweb-widget
Has anyone had any luck deploying applets using iWeb?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Victor
I was trying to put applets generated from my (very noob) "Processing" code into an iWeb site on MobileMe.
The Processing environment produces the .jar file and some applet tag in an index.htm file. In iWeb, I copied the applet tag stuff from the index.htm file and pasted it into the HTML Snippet widget.
The problem was where to put the .jar file. Putting it anywhere in the MobileMe storage space didn't work, no matter what I typed into the applet tag, so I dropped it into a dropbox (dropbox.com, free), copied the public link from the dropbox and replaced all instances of 'filename.jar' in the html in the snippet widget with the public link to the file in my dropbox.
Probably a proper shoddy way to do it, but it works.
It's here, if it helps...

I have a markdown file that I would like to have delivered by my tomcat 7. Currently when calling the url of the file, it offers me the file to download. But I want to have it just rendered. I have a plugin in the browser to convert md files into html, so I don't care if I just see the md "source code".
If there is even an md => html converter plugin for Tomcat, even better. Does anyone have an idea?
You need to look at what your browser is doing with that file. A quick test on a clean Tomcat installation with a file named test.md displays the contents of that file in the browser (FireFox).
If the browser is expecting a particular MIME type, then you can configure that in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml (look for the very long section setting MIME mappings).
I am trying to develop a firefox extension that adds a panel allowing the user to interact with the DOM of any webpage. I'd like to reuse web components that I've already built. The web components are built using libraries like jquery, angular, d3, and a bunch of others, most of which don't play nice with XUL. To deal with that, I'm including a browser element that contains a web page with my components.
<overlay id="testOverlay"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<hbox id="browser">
<splitter></splitter>
<vbox flex="1">
<browser
src="chrome://testApp/content/index.html"
type="content"
flex="1"/>
</vbox>
</hbox>
</overlay>
This works, and shows my index.html in a panel to the side as expected. However, I cannot figure out how to debug any scripts that are included on the index.html page. The documentation for debugging extensions seems very sparse.
So the question I have is: how can I point the firefox debugger at the browser element in the pane that I've created.
Follow the instructions here for enabling the browser (as opposed to content) debugger: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Debugging_JavaScript#JavaScript_Debugger
Once your scripts are loaded in the browser, they should become visible in the debugger's sources pane (but not before that).
If you still can't get that to work, I would love a test case and detailed steps to reproduce, so I could try and diagnose the problem :)

According to the HTML spec, (rather than ) is the tag to use for embedded content. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer supports the tag, which FF, Chrome, Safari, etc support the tag.
So how do you create valid content with Flash embedded?
After a web page has loaded, you can
insert the embed tag, effectively
circumventing the XHTML problems. As a
bonus, you can use JavaScript to
determine whether the correct Flash
Plugin is available on your visitor's
computer. If it isn’t, alternative
content can be loaded.

Hopefully this answers your question about how to embed your content in a standards compliant way.

I've created a couple of Office plugins. The plugin shows a set of html files installed on the clients computer. The plugin uses a COM-accessible assembly which shows a WinForm with a WebBrowser on it. The plugin makes the WebBrowser navigate to a file on the clients computer. The assembly is also used in other programs to show the same information.
When showing the local html files using a 'normal' browser (e.g. double clicking a file in Windows Explorer) the browser popup a security warning about running active content. This is because we have some javascript in it. This warning is supressed by setting the 'Allow active content to run in files on My Computer' in the Internet Explorer settings. This solves the issue using a 'normal' browser.
Funny enough the 'active content' warning is not shown when getting the same file using a Word/Excel/PowerPoint plugin. It calls the same assembly, using the same WinForm and using the same content. Despite the setting 'Allow active content to run from My Computer' being false, the content is shown without a warning and the javascript is executed.
Now, the problem and the real question is that Outlook does the reverse. No matter what I use for 'Allow active content to run from My Computer' the browser warning about the active content in the html file is shown. When I confirm the message and allow the scripts to continue, the javascript runs fine. So, even when I set the 'Allow active content to run from My Computer' to true, the warning is given.
I've gone through all (sort of) relevant settings in Outlook, but nothing helps.
I assume that Outlook is using some kind of private context for a webbrowser (probably because it is using a webbrowser object internally).
The real question is: how can I make the Outlook plugin respect the IE settings?
(I understand this is a long story and maybe not clear enough. Please let me know if I have to elaborate more).
I couldn't get rid of the security warning without lowering the security setting. And that is not an option: we are talking about a project that will be installed on millions of computers.
I decided to go another route. Let's see if we can make the browser trust the html pages. So, what to do to get rid of the 'Active content' warning.
First I investigated what exactly triggers the warning. That was easy: any tag in your html file will do. And I need script, so removing that isn't an option. But, when hosted from a website, the scripts run fine and don't suffer from a warning. So, I investigated if it is possible to run my files in the Internet-context.
I found out there is a way, at least for IE (which in my case is sufficient). If you save a webpage as a complete HTML file from IE, the browser adds a comment to the html to signal its origin. Something like: . If you later open that stored html file, the file is shown in the Internet context.
So, I tried adding to the html file. And, voila, the file is opened in the Internet context. The security warning about active content is gone and the scripts are executed fine.
But, that raised another problem. We have a couple of window.open statements in the scripts and using that causes he cross domain browsing problems that in recent IE versions are blocked. Even if you use a relative path in the window.open call, if fails and you end up with a blank window.
In our case, we can (probably) decide to get rid of the window.open calls. But, if a reader ever finds a solution for using window.open in this scenario, I would be very happy if you let me know.
So, for now: case closed...

I have a .asp application where image files (.PDF) are stored in a directory (fed by a copier/scanner). The created file names are stored in a database table. When a query is launched from the web page a link to the file is created. When clicked the image should be displayed.
This functionality works 100% in Internet Explorer. No such luck in Firefox (and I have some Firefox users). The created hyperlink looks like this file://Server/Scanner/XYZ.pdf
The Firefox helps suggest the reason is this:
Links to local or network pages do not work. As a security precaution, Firefox forbids sites on the Internet to link to files that are stored in your local computing environment. These files may include files on your computer, mapped network drives, and UNC network paths
None of the suggestions for a workaround seem to work (or I am not understanding the steps to create the image display)
Any Suggestions?
This is the default Firefox behavior designed for security .The assumption is probably that most web sites don't know what and where are you local files (including UNC paths).
This could be turned off in firefox:
type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false"
restart firefox
That should do it for you. You have more information here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy

Firefox >= 68.0.1
I'm able to preview in Firefox both images and PDF files with local file links using the settings mentioned here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303727
I have used links with local file: test
and added in user.js the mentioned settings (with adjusted sites list):
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://my.intranet");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Also, when setting Firefox to "Always ask" for PDF files, I was able to "Open with" the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which reported the expected local folder when accessing "File -> Properties".
Firefox >= 1.5.x < 20 (ish)
Search for the Firefox profile folder on your hard drive, e.g. (12345678 stands for eight random digits and letters):
Windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles12345678.default\"
Linux: "/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/12345678.default/"
OS X: /Username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/12345678.default/
In this folder create a text file with the name user.js. Write the following line into that text file:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Works on my PC (Firefox 3.0.3 and 19.0 beta) with the following references:
<img src="file://///server/share/image.png" />
<img src="file://\\\server\share\image.png" />
<img src="file://d:\image.png" />
<img src="file:///d:\image.png" />
<img src="file://d:/image.png" />
<img src="file:///d:/image.png" />
<img src="file://localhost/d:/image.png" />
Also, if you are using the NoScript add-on, check the Advanced \ Trusted \ Allow local links option.
Reading at the solution given here, I followed the link Links to local pages do not work and for me, only this worked well (I am using wordpress for a personal FAQ on a local wamp installation):
Go to your "%Your Documents & Settings%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%your profile%\"
edit the file "prefs.js"
add the following lines at the end of the document:
.
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://localhost");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.javascript.enabled", "allAccess");
You can leave the setting "security.checkloaduri" to its default value, and also the "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy". Thanks to those 3 lines, you just make an exception for your local server.
Be careful, if you need to go back to that prefs.js file, note that Firefox will have ordered it alphabetically. So the 3 lines you will have added at the end will be somewhere at the beginning ;).
You can load the LocalLink FireFox Add-On, which allows you to right-click on a local link and select 'Open in Foreground Window'. The other 'Open...' menu items are supposed to work, but don't for me.
http://locallink.mozdev.org/
Also, you can use NoScript, like Alex suggests, which enables normal clicking of local links. Thanks Alex.
Marko's solution should work for links that are also on the local filesystem, but I don't think it should allow an http:// page to link to a file:// page.
The issue for people linking from http:// pages is discussed here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
along with an explanation of how to circumvent it and expose yourself to risk.
You can instead read the file off the disk and then send it in the Response from your page.
See this link for an example.
Tonnes of thanks I wAs searching this solution since months,
::THis thing worked::
This could be turned off in firefox:
* type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
* find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false"
* restart firefox
::::
shouldn't you really store the pages in your application directory and reference them this way. http://SITENAME/Server/scanner/XYZ.pdf.
We do something similar with files stored all in one directory and just store the file name. we then create the link using the known folder name and append the file name. this works quite well.
Finally firefox is a lot more anal about the directions of the slashes in file names as well. Make sure they are all '/' rather than '\'.
Hope this helps.
beware of incompatibility with gmarks (google toolbar replacer)
both local link and policy manager worked for me; local link is a little smoother, policy manager gives you more control
file://localhost///servername/share/file.txt works for me on FF11
(from a local html file: file:///C:/index.html)
