HTML - Desktop Icon Direct Browser Link
A company website I went to gives the user the option of downloading a program, the purpose I believe is to open a browser and automatically log the user into their online account at www.companysite.com. The user simply double-clicks an icon on the desktop which lauches the browser, etc. How can I do this? Anyone have a link to a fre script? Thanks!
Chris Similar TutorialsI have a client that I just built a website for. This website is viewed by many different people. The client is wondering if it is possible to have a link somewhere on the site that automatically downloads an image icon to the users desktop. Once this icon is in place on the users desktop, they can click that icon when they want to go back to the web site. He also stated he'd like an app button created for mobile devices. I think he's thinking these icons are one in the same. But from what little I know about creating an app, you need to know the Objective C language and the only way someone can get it is through an app store. He wants both windows and Mac users to be able to use this. Is this possible, or how should I go about approaching this another way to achieve the same thing? Thanks for any help or direction. I would like have the HTML code for my web pages that will put my tiger icon on my page shortcuts that I save to my desktop. I believe its an attribute in the body tag such as: <body logo=""> or something like that. When I put a web page shortcut on my desktop an icon for that page appears above the name. I can not find the correct tags by sourcing the page. When I save this page to my desktop an icon displays above the name. Please help. Thanks Walt So I'm developing a kind of desktop that u use by any browser. The idea of this is that you can find files and go thru files easy and do other things at the same time. In a new design. So I have a test site that gives you an idea on how it going to look. I am a rookie when it comes to coding and such so it's a simple site. Please come with tips and stuff that I should add. here is the test website. http://jaegarn.webs.com/ It all started yesterday when internet was shut down for one hour and I was bored When im developing this now I'm making it in swedish but it's easy to translate it and if somone wants I could translate it for it's release to english. So ya come with suggestions on what I should add and tips Over N Out JaegarN Okay, I'm not exactly sure what these images are called, but in Opera, on most websites, there is a little image (usually the logo of the website), up to the left of the address bar. Is anyone able to explain how to get images there? Thank you. ______________________ Hello! I would really like to have the meta tags code which allows one to put a logo or icon in the browser window, right before the URL. Thanks so much! Kathy I am trying to figure out how the user can click ANYWHERE on the webpage, and it will execute the 'Show Desktop' command (like in the quicklaunch -- for windows XP). The webpage will be used as the desktop background. I want the user to be able to click on the desktop background, and all other windows will become minimized. An onclick function perhaps, or something that executes "Windows key + M"? Please help, this is for my job lol I am trying to figure out a way to load the index page with a requested iframe page without clicking the link. Instead of going to site.com/embeddedpage.html i want to essentially go to site.com/#iframeembeddedpage.html is there a way to load an iframe within the index page via a direct url??? My icon exists and i know it works as i tryed it in dreamweaver. my code Code: <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.simplecoders.com/sc.ico"/> Icon exists on server as if i type link in it does to it. just doesnt show up on tab or url bar any ideas? I would like to know how to add a link direct to an image page. For an instance, if we know there is a pic : http://www.htmlforums.com/images/smilies/SmileBulb.gif I am just going to give link in any other site or in my site, I want to have a background ads, i.e like we have index.html page, is it possible to have some manual added code on pic embedded page. Just the image must show on, if it is direct linked & the image must show with any manual code or ads attached ? Is this feature possible ? I have several links on my site, all in the form of <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com">mywebsite</a> How do I need to change it such that a new instance of the browser is used in which the linked site is displayed. For example, i'm using firefox and there is a link in one website. Now i want to open this link in IE. How to do it? Hello, hopefully you can help me. I have the following code, which opens a new internet browser window: <form> <p align="center"><b></b> <select id="setit" style="color: #0000FF" size="1" name="test"> <option value="">Please Select</option> <option value="http://www.nu.nl">nu</option> <option value="http://www.telegraaf.nl">telegraaf</option> <option value="http://www.google.com">Google</option></select> <input type="button" value="Go" onclick="window.open(setit.options[setit.selectedIndex].value)"> </p></form> What do I need to change so the onclick opens the link in the same internet browser window instead of opening a new one? Many thanks, Ralfie Hello All, I am searching for a solution for a friend of mine. He has a new website, that runs perfectly in Firefox, and Chrome, however not in Internet Explorer. He runs IE6 in XP. Yes, i konw, IE6. The issue is that there is a program that will ONLY run in IE6. Upgrade IE, and it will not work. There is no option here. So what I am trying to find is some sort of coding that in Firefox / Chrome, that when that coding is reached (could be a plain .html or .php document) that ie6 will then open up for that page to be viewed. This will enable my friend, to use their new website in either firefox or chrome, however when that program is required, and they click on the link in firefox or chrome, then ie6 will open up and off they go. Any ideas? Chris. Hello I'm now well on my way to making my first website from html code. Please could someone give me the examples of: 1) Opening a link in current tab 2) Opening a link in new tab 3) Opening a link in a new window Is there a way to have a link bring up a 'Save as...' box by default rather than having the link open the file inside my visitors' browser. More specifically, I have a long lecture on my site (mp3) that by default opens in my visitors' browsers rather than offering to be downloaded. I know visitors can right-click on the link to get a 'Save as...' box, but I would rather 'Save as...' be the default action whenever the link is clicked. I have heard that it is possible to put a webpage on the desktop of a computer that has windows. Is it also possible to do this in linux? What I would like to do is to put a whole series of pull down menus on the desktop - one menu group would be for educational programs, one for Open office programs, etc. I would like to do this to get away from the whole nesting windows thing. Is it possible? easy? Hi, You know how sometimes websites with ever changing content (like stock market quotes, price of gold, etc) offer snippets of code that you can put on your own website to show charts/prices/etc? I was just wondering if there was a way to get that code to run on my desktop to show that changing content? It would only be a box approx 270 x 110 pixels if it was on a webpage, hopefully the same size on the desktop. The piece of code in question is: <A HREF="http://www.kitco.com/connecting.html"> <IMG SRC="http://www.kitconet.com/images/sp_en_6.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]"> </A> I've searched thru the forum but found nothing that answers this question. Is there something out there that will take the html code and convert it into, say, an exe that will then run on the desktop? TIA I've got a bunch of tel: links on a site that work great with mobiles and desktops that have softphones but how can I tell the browser to not treat it like a dead link if no such application exists? Here's an example - clik on any phone number: http://sketch.uk.com/admin_contacts.php?menu=8 Hey there guys... I've been trying to make an HTML program that opens programs I direct it to. Now I have the layout all correct, it looks almost like a control panel with my most commonly used programs. I put hyper links on the pictures, but when I click on the picture that dialog box keeps opening! It's getting a bit irritating... Is there a way I can make them open with out keep clicking on open or save in the dialog box. I can't get notepad opened either! This is not web based just for my PC if that makes anything any easier! Also if there anything in JAVA that will be cool. I saw something to do with PERL but I cannot run the code on my PC, I think thats only web based and the coding is way to complicated! Thanks I have a website for my company, and at the bottom I have a clickable button which gives access to "resources" such as manuals and diagrams which is only accessible with a username and password. I would like to add a button that automatically opens the remote desktop connection tool (mstsc) on the users machine, and ideally ammend some of the default settings of this (drives, sounds etc). I have no idea if this is even possible! Any pointers (or a simple NO!) would be great! |
