HTML - Mime Type For Excel File In Xml Format?
I am generating a data file for Excel using XML structure. I have found 2 MIME types with partially expected functionality:
application/xml: this works well assuming the user has a version of Excel that is associated with the headers in the file and/or the user doesn't have XML files associated with a separate application. application/vnd.ms-excel: this tends to append ".xls" to the end of the filename. When opening the file, Excel generates a warning that the data formats do not match because it is expect XLS format. If there is a 3rd MIME type, I'm not using a search engine that is aware of it. Can anyone suggest a MIME type that forces the application to open in Excel without presuming XLS format? Similar TutorialsConflict between Mime Type and Document Type... Morning - I have recently been learning CSS and have been upgrading my site to Semantically correct code. The first templat I am building is the following page http://www.colletts.co.uk/colletts_n...ndexflash.html and validates here validates... sort of. Should I be worried about the mime type, what effect will this have on the page. If I follow the instructions and change the file extension to xhtml all hell breaks loose - http://www.colletts.co.uk/colletts_n...dexflash.xhtml IE Error - can't open thios document etc... What am I doing wrong??? Best, Mas Hi, Using servlets and javascript. When I upload a file based on the mime type I operations are delegated from servlet. picture.gif file's mime type is image/gif Problem I am facing is when I remove the file extension of any file say picture.gif file to picture mime type is application/octet-stream. How can I detect the mime type of a file given the filestream or any other solution to this problem Thanks. The following common code is not working in Firefox (3.0.11). It works in Safari (4.02) and IE7. When I say not working, I mean that when I click the submit button, the address does not change to the form processing url: Code: <!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below --> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field --> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" /> <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array --> Send this file: <input name="mp3file" type="file" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send File" /> </form> The file uploader.php does nothing, it is blank, I'm merely trying to establish communication. Once again, the code functions in IE and Safari so I dont think this is PHP related.

Any help would be great. Thanks, Basanta Hi, I am new to this forum - and indeed forums in general - and I am hoping someone can help me with my Ecommerce website. I am in the process of designing a web store using Volusion as my template. The template allows for html coding and flash scripts. I am no expert in either one, yet have learned quite a lot since I began a few months ago. I am hoping someone here might know of a way to insert a code or script which would allow the option of attaching/uploading of an Excel file to an order, during the order process. Currently, I am using hyperlinks so a user can click and access his/her email browser to download a file, but it is inefficient. Thank you, Abie what is the HTML code to view an Excel or Word file on a webpage??? thanks, ### hello, all i just start learning how to build my own website. One purpose of my website is: I want to embed a macro enabled excel file (i.e., an excel file like "***.xlsm]") into my website so that visitors can use the excel file to do some calculation. (visitors do not have to download the excel file) Before I spend more time building my website, I want to ask: is it technically doable to embed excel file (especially excel file .xlsm)to my website? Thank you. I have a project written in ASP.NET under Visual Studio 2005 with C#. I am also using Infragistics objects for .NET Advantage 2007. In my page to attach resources to a record I have written a browser and am displaying previously chosen resources here. But when I click the upload button the page opens a new window (which is not a dialog window, but a normal one) which is exactly the same as my dialog window. How can this possibly happen? Can anyone help me? hi, i was wondering what is the best filetype to use for a video on the internet? i need to embed a video which can be viewed by as many people as possible so i was thinking maybe .wmv or something that can be played through windows media play and most other common video player Hi guys, I'm trying to create a form which uploads an image from the user and saves it in the database. However with the code I have so far it seems the input isn't working. Any help would be appreciated. This is what I have: <html> <head><title>Store image into SQL Database</title></head> <body> PHP Code: <?php if ($_POST[submit]) { include("connect.php"); $data = addslashes(fread(fopen($_POST[form_data], "r"), filesize($_POST[form_data]))); $result=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO binary_data (description,bin_data,filename,filesize,filetype) ". "VALUES ('$_POST[form_description]','$_POST[data]','$_POST[form_data_name]','$_POST[form_data_size]','$_POST[form_data_type]')"); $id= mysql_insert_id(); MYSQL_CLOSE(); } else { ?> HTML Code: <form method="post" action="imageupload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> File Description:<br> <input type="text" name="form_description" size="40"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000"> <br>File to upload/store in database:<br> <input type="file" name="form_data" size="40"> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> <?php } ?> </body> </html> Any idea why the "theuploadedfile" input is not displayed when the program comes in after the submit ? PHP Code: <?php print 'Post=<pre>'; print_r($_POST);print '</pre>'; // PROBLEM $_POST['theuploadedfile'] IS NOT DISPLAYED (the text one is) ?> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <br>File to upload <input name="status" type="hidden" value="submitted"> <br>A<input name="thetexttype" type="text" size="100"> <br>B<input name="theuploadedfile" type="file" size="100" > <br><input name="submit" type="submit"> </form> Hi, I have got an input form to upload files; the form also accepts some other user input. The upload works fine, but I need to display some filenames by default, but this does not work. I tried using: <input type="file" name="images[]" value="<?php echo $default_filename; ?>"... This did not work, so I tried: <input type="file" name="images[]" value="Testfile.jpg"..., but this does not work too. All this is in a <form action="<?php echo $_PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">. It seems to me that in an input field of type "file", default values are not accepted, though they should be according to the documentation. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I need this feature. Thanks On my page, I have a form: HTML Code: <div id="upfile"> <input type="file" name="uploadform" size="30" id="fileupload2"> </div> Now, I'm wondering, is there any way that I can set a default value for this? Ex "C:\My Documents\file.txt". I tried value=, but I guess it doesn't work for the "file" type. I'd change it, but I need it to be "file".. Any help? Edit: Just realized that spelling mistake in the title.. Hi everyone, Unfortunately a database is and .NET is out fo the question. The application is limited to HTML / JS only. I am creating a form that will search these accounts for amounts greater than $X. For ease of editing and the end user, the account numbers are stored on an Excel sheet. How would I reference the spreadsheet and cell range in HTML to allow querying on these account numbers? This is what I had so far in my attempts of searching and trying to piece together this segment. Code: <head> <SCRIPT> function openwb() { var Excel; Excel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"); Excel.Visible = false; form1.my_textarea2.value = Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:/Sean/HTML/account_numbers.xls").ActiveSheet.Cells(1,1).Value; Excel.Quit(); } </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <tr> <td width="200" > <p align=right><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Account Number</font> </td> <td> <SELECT name=OBOperKey_51_1> <OPTION selected>AND</OPTION><OPTION>OR</OPTION></SELECT> </td> </p> <td> <INPUT type="hidden" name=OBOperKey_51_1 onFocus="openwb();" value="Get Excel Data"> </td> </tr> </body> so far i've created the calendar.html that contains the layout and the events.html from excel and i'd like to know the code or how to LINK the events.html into the calendar.html file rather than copy/pasting the enter code within the events.html file everytime so whenever i update the events.html i don't have to go into the calendar.html to update the codes, i can just replace the events.html file and woolah! when i save the excel file i can choose to save it as a webpage but then that's 2 html files, i'm just trying to get the table inside the calendar.html while keeping the layout and ease of being able to create it within excel thanks a bunch, TIA Hi All, I have a web application that has a few div tags in the base index.html and calls a java app for the output to the div tags. All is working ok, except when I try to format a ms-excel document as output from the java (to the div tag). If I invoke the java app directly in a web browser, the excel popup window comes up and my output goes to an excel document. However, if I invoke the java app (using Ajax request/response) I get the output to the div tag and the excel popup does not come up. Is this something special/different I need to do when using a div tag/Ajax? thanks, Bill Hey, I'm wondering how to easily convert Excel documents into HTML, so that i can open them up in notepad/text edit. I read this article (http://www.granneman.com/webdev/codi...texceltotables) which says to save the excel document as a CSV file, then when using dreamweaver you can import that into a tabular form. Is there a way of doing this without using dreamweaver? I don't necessarily mean that it will be converted into straight HTML <table><tr> etc, but just so it's easily editable. When i open the CSV file in notepad i get a bunch of commas like this: ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, Does anyone know how to do this in the most efficiently quick way? Either using notepad or text edit. Thanks Hello, I am new here, name is Eric and I have a quick question in hopes someone can point me in the right direction. I am trying to make a web page that acts as a quick quote site for potential clients. Pretty much all it's going to do is use a formula like Excel does to take a number a client inputs into a field and times it by another number to give you a quote...will be a couple other fields that the client will input to get a more accurate number...but same idea throughout the page just different formulas. I have been using Zoho which embeds a Excel spread sheet, but problem is...it looks like an excel spreadsheet. I am trying to do the same functions but I would like to make it more appealing then just an excel spreadsheet. I would like to just use fields and make the site clean and look noting like a spreadsheet but still use the formulas that excel allows you to use. I would appreciate any help on the topic. Thanks in advance! -Tilly I require to output html to excel( right click on html table and option "export to MS excel" ) and getting following error. "unable to open "html path". Cannot download the information you requested. I am using MS EXCEL 2007. any workaround is greatly appreciated. Thanks Al Hey all, here is my question, I have built a website for the company I work for, they are an HR firm and one of their functions is personnel placement. I added a Vacancies page where they post a list of vacancies for certain jobs, but now I have to update that page manually every week and this is becoming somewhat tedious, so what I want to know is the following, is there a way that I can build a table on the page where each cell in the table downloads data from a specific cell in a spreadsheet that I can upload, so instead of changing the page every week, I have the placements staff update the data in the spreadsheet and E-mail that to me, where I upload the spreadsheet to the site and the data in the cells just change automatically to reflect the new vacancies? |
