HTML - Linking To Local Files In Firefox
I'm currently trying to make a website that uses paypal.
Here's what I have so far. 1 - User Clicks "buy now" button 2- User is redirected to paypal 3-User completes payment 4- User is SUPPOSED to be redirected to my site. Since I am hoping to test this page offline, I have my site in a local file. I need to use the return command on the "buy now" button so that paypal returns the user to my site, however, since I am just testing (using paypal's sandbox) I want it to return me to a local file on my hard drive. Apparently Firefox has a security feature that will not allow you to link to local files, but I was hoping to bypass this feature. Is there anyway I can do this? I have firefox 2.0. Thanks! Similar TutorialsSo I am pretty new to HTML/CSS (been learning for about a week now) I thought I had everythign down, but I ran into a problem with <a> and linking through my site. My directory is set up like this on my local network: when I link from loung.html to elixir.html I used the following code: Code: <a href="beverages/elixir.html">elixirs</a> But when I test those pages on my local network, the pages do not appear(when i click the link that I made). Is it because I am testing on local network, is the code wrong, or am I doing something else that I am not aware of? Thanks in advance Hi to all I have a question , sorry for my English. I want to Make a page that can open local video files in windows default player with the <a HREF="movie.avi"> tag , without downloading the video file (because the video files are in my local disk).I use wamp server program to work as a server.I have tried to do it but it keeps downloading the video files and it trEats them like their are not local.the options that it gives me is to open it or download it I choose to open it but it stills download it. Open Mozilla Firefox and go to this site: http://www.mm-theory.com Scroll down a bit until you see a table titled "Download PDFs" on the left-hand side. Click any one of them. Does anything happen, or do you get what I get: a blank window? Explorer doesn't seem to have this problem. I click on any of the links, I get the option to either open the PDF file in the browser or download it. If I choose to open in the browser, it does just that. Why would it not do the same in Firefox? The code for the links are as follows: Code: ... <tr><td class="PDFs"><a class="PDFs" href="../PDFs/Website Introduction.pdf">Website Introduction</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="PDFs"><a class="PDFs" href="../PDFs/Preliminary Concepts.pdf">Preliminary Concepts</a></td></tr> ... Thanks for any forthcoming help. Hi, I was wondering how i can link to my script file instead of having it stored in the head. At the moment i am only using javascript and i dont like it in the head because it looks messy. My site has 2 columns and the script simply makes sure colum 1 and column 2 always have the same height to retain the layout because i'm using background images. I have saved the script in as scripts.js and it looks like this. Code: function fixH(one,two) {
if (document.getElementById(one)) {
var lh=document.getElementById(one).offsetHeight;
var rh=document.getElementById(two).offsetHeight;
var nh = Math.max(lh, rh);
document.getElementById(one).style.height=nh+"px";
document.getElementById(two).style.height=nh+"px";
}
}
window.onload=function(){
fixH('column1','column2');
}
Ok now back in my html head where i would usually put the actual script i have put: Code: <script src="scripts.js" type="text/JavaScript"></script> I was hoping this would work but it doesn't seem to be working. When i preview the page locally in IE6 it pops up to say something has been blocked which i guess is the javasript. Maybe i need to upload to web server and test but wanted to post here to see if i did it correct in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to make a help file in html for each one. The problem I am running into is that i can't seem to make it load pictures. Code: File structure F:\PortableApps\7-Zip\ (Where the help file is) F:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\HelpFiles\ (Where the pics are at) What code do i need to make this work?

The website will not be online and is intended to be use only offline from local disc. I don't know why but the pictures are not cached. Is that a limitation to offline websites? Also when I create simple code with only one picture in it, it's not cached. A I doing something wrong? I'm using IE6. Thanks Boris In the following code, the image display is inconcsistent: - Firefox: works in all cases - IE7 over Internet: works - IE7 locally: image does not display; I get a placeholder. - IE7 locally on my other computer: works. By "locally", I mean that the HTML file and the image are on my local hard disk; by "Internet", I mean that the HTML file and the image are on the server at my web site service. The image is in the same directory as the HTML file in all cases. Here's the code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <p>Welcome to My Page</p> <img height="231" width="346" border="0" src="roadtrip003.gif"> </body> </html> I suspect an IE7 setting on the offending computer, but I've looked around quite a bit and it ain't obvious to me. Any thoughts? Hi, I have access to managing a site using Dreamweaver. I need to update a few images and pdf files into a folder located inside the remote view, to be uploaded to the Internet. I can delete the old files from that folder located in the remote view; Can you please explain how do I get the new files inside the remote view so that I can upload them online. I dont have the folders on my deskstop. There is a local view though, but I cannot locate the folder that needs to be updated. Please advise. Thank you Guys n Gals. Is it possible using HTML to search local folders for files. The scenario: At work we have a networked folder, that is constantly being updated with either txt files or xml files and such. This changes on a daily basis. Is it possible to search using html. I don't wish to build a database, as this would require constant attention. I would like to send out a small HTML page, with our company logo, that references the newtrk location. If so, would anyone know or have the code to do this. Java would also be suitable. How to attach a local file to mail with "mail" syntax? Thank you! -gav I am in the process of installing an internet blocker on my Ubuntu machine. I have an access denied page that I have made up, but I want the page to redirect to a file located in each user's home folder after a few seconds. This basically makes a unique page for each user when something is blocked. Normally I would think to do this in either javascript or using the meta refresh tag, but this appears to be a prohibited behaviour for obvious security reasons. Is there any way to turn this off and allow local redirection? Yes, this a highly abnormal thing to want to do on a page...I have been designing and building commercial websites for years and never have I had to do this Hi all, I need to have a link on my web page which allows the user to download a file on the c: drive of my web server.

How do I display an excel spreadsheet in a html web page that dynamically changes when the spreadsheet is edited? The spreadsheet on the web page doesn't have to be interactive, it can even just be made of html tables. As long as it updates with the actual spreadsheet. Hi, Does anyone know how to link a local file and open up in your browser? I have tried <a href="file:///C:\TestFolder\test.xml" target="_blank">TEST FILE</a> But it doesn't work . Can anyone help me with this? Thanks , Geek.Shrek Greetings all. I have what i would think should be an easy thing to accomplish, but i just don't know how to do it... i have a .exe that is on a usb drive which currently auto-runs when you plug the drive into a usb port... what i want to do is have an HTML file that basically acts as a splash screen, w/ other options, that auto-runs instead... all of which is easy enough for me... but what i don't know how to do is to get a link on the HTML file to run the .exe as opposed to give the prompt to save it... is there an "easy" way to do this? both files reside on the same directory of the flash drive, and the .exe would only run when the user clicks the link... seems like it should be possible since i can auto-run the .exe, but w/ security restrictions, i can't seem to figure it out... TIA Hi, I am a noobie, now in the middle of learning HTML. I tried to move an image from my local drive but it seem not working. Below are my code.

Thanks in advance. I got all my html files set up and file directories correct, however my audio files simply won't play when I sync the actual website in dreamweaver.

Does anyone see what's wrong? =/ Hello Folks, I'm not too sure which forum I should post this in, but hopefully this is the right one. I have created a horzontal Navigation bar using a repeating tile for the bottom of my page, which views fine on my hard drive. See screenshot attached. However, when I upload the page, the tile stops displaying and only the solid background shows. http://www.magicalwonders.com/Test2/Index.html I can't work out what is going wrong. I've tried renaming the file, deleting from the webspace and re-uploading, but it still refuses to display when uploaded. The other repeating tiles work fine, so I have no idea what's going on. Can anyone spot what may be the problem and save my sanity? Thanks, Myles |
