JavaScript - Open File From Web Browser (local Server) Directly Into Photoshop
Hi there,
Can anybody help me to write php/javascript code which will allow users to open files directly from web browser into desktop application? Here is the specification: 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. I have already done all other part of the application except file opening directly from browser to desktop application functionality. Anybody can help me 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? Thank you very much I look forward to someone's real help! Best regards Mr. Sumon Similar TutorialsHi there, I have a photo editing business with many people working in Photoshop.

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?
Hi guys. This is a tricky one. I'm have some images on a site that I want a user to download to their sdcard. i have urls for the images (e.g. http://eg.com/image1.jpg) and i have a webpage with a button. when the user clicks the button, i want it to download those images to an sdcard in their pc (hopefully they can select where using a windows open file type box). i think this may be quite difficult due to security with browsers and Iv looked into activex object (but cant get it to save to my filesystem). if this cant be done, perhaps i could do it on the server-side using php and have the user use filezilla to download the images. obviously this is not a very elagant solution. any ideas on how i might approach this problem? thanks you Jen Hi, Following this jQuery slideshow tutorial (Usecase 3 sample, about 2/3 down the page, this is the one without thumbnails): http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/w...vwt/index.html I constructed the slideshow: http://backstageweb.net/Salon/slideshowcode.htm ...which works perfectly in browser view locally (FF and IE). When uploaded to the server, however, I've got a static list of photos as you can see. Can someone shed some light on what the problem is? All relevant files are attached (I changed the images to simple colors to get the file size within the attachment limit). Thanks. John I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page. The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script. The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers? Thanks in advance for any help. Javascript Code Code: window.onload = initAll;
var xhr = false;
function initAll() {
document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
document.getElementById("makeXMLRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
}
function getNewFile() {
makeRequest(this.href);
return false;
}
function makeRequest(url) {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) { }
}
}
if (xhr) {
xhr.onreadystatechange = showContents;
xhr.open("GET", url, true);
xhr.send(null);
}
else {
document.getElementById("updateArea").innerHTML = "Sorry, but I couldn't create an XMLHttpRequest";
}
}
function showContents() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
if (xhr.responseXML && xhr.responseXML.contentType=="text/xml") {
var outMsg = xhr.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("choices")[0].textContent;
}
else {
var outMsg = xhr.responseText;
}
}
else {
var outMsg = "There was a problem with the request " + xhr.status;
}
document.getElementById("updateArea").innerHTML = outMsg;
}
}

<b>What I want is to change this part;</b>; preview_url: "http://myflashtest.com/files/9083/preview.swf", base: "http://myflashtest/files/9083/" I am using a program on my vista comp. and am using Java as the code and eclipse as the compiler. I am trying to create a program that can opne up the web browser when i click "run". I want to open the page: yahoo.com, and then i want the program to automattically input my user name and password. I'm not sure how to tell eclipse to view the source code so that it can navigate to the username tag and input the information. Is this even possible? Is Java the right program to do this? Any help? Thanks, JayTee I have a usercontrol which get inputs from the user and show the slideshows. I have added jquery.js and jqfancytransitions.js to the control. when i apply the effects dynamically it is working on local iis but the same coding is not working on iis server. The link for the page is http://www.gloriatech.com/slideshow.aspx . Actually it display the images but no effects are applied. I also checked the js files, it is in right path only.When i checked this page in firebug , it shows the error which is " Sys is undefined". I dont know how to solve it. Can anyone help me?

I need to open a window when: 1 user leaves the site 2 when the browser is closed. I tried the 'unLoad' event but it works only for the user leaves site case and not the browser close. Here is the code I tried: <html> <head> <title>Detecting browser close </title> <script type="text/javascript"> function doUnload() { myWin= open("exit_site.php", "exitWin", "width=50,height=50"); } </script> </head> <body onunload="doUnload()" <h4>Close browser!</h4> </body> </html> Neep your help, please Hi I am a new bie to Javascript programming. We have a scenario to launch a new browser window for a given HTML. I have the following approaches : Approach 1: my_window = window.open("", "report"); my_window.document.open(); my_window.document.write("<HTML> <BODY> HI </BODY></HTML>"); my_window.document.close(); Approach 2: var newWindow = window.open("", "report"); newWindow.document.body.innerHTML = "<HTML> <BODY> HI </BODY></HTML>"; Could anyone sugges Which is the correct approach ? Our requirement is to have this code to work in any browser? Thanks I have an emagazine i want to add to my website, the probelm is when it opens in a browser you have to sroll down the page, to view it all, what i was wondering is, is it possibe to create a link that when somebody selects to view the magazine it forces the browser to openin full screen mode so that it fits niely on the screen without the toolbars and evertything taking up half the page. Thanks Hello all,I have a website and I would like a pop-up window to promote a new website venture I have. I would like for the new website to open in a completely new window/browser when my members simply click on the index page (No link or Buttons).The code below does most of what I ask lol,but it.. 1.Only opens in a new tab (in same browser) while I would like for it to open in a completely new browser "full page" menu bar scroll tab and all. plus 2.It seems to open each and every time the page is clicked,which will be annoying to my members.I would only like for it to open 1 time per visitor every 24 hours or whenever cookies are cleared. Code: <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function click_on()
{
window.open("URL HERE", "_blank");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onclick="click_on()">
</body>
</html>
I am no expert at this,and my knowledge is very limited,so excuse me if this is a simple situation.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roco Let me start of by saying that I'm a designer, not a programmer so I'll apologize in advance for having very little knowledge of javascript. I found a free script for a auto-advancing slideshow that allows you to give each image in the slideshow a unique link. My problem is that when you click on one of the pictures the link opens in a new window instead of loading in the default browser window. I have tried to search google for an answer but my lack of javascript knowledge has left me scratching my chin. Here's the code in the head of my page: Code: <script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
/*
JavaScript Image slideshow
*/
var slideimages=new Array()
var slidelinks=new Array()
function slideshowimages(){
for (i=0;i<slideshowimages.arguments.length;i++){
slideimages[i]=new Image()
slideimages[i].src=slideshowimages.arguments[i]
}
}
function slideshowlinks(){
for (i=0;i<slideshowlinks.arguments.length;i++)
slidelinks[i]=slideshowlinks.arguments[i]
}
function gotoshow(){
if (!window.winslide||winslide.closed)
winslide=window.open(slidelinks[whichlink])
else
winslide.location=slidelinks[whichlink]
winslide.focus()
}
//-->
</script>
and here's the Body code: Code: <script>
<!--

slideshowlinks("/", "/", "/", "/", "/", "/", "/")
//configure the speed of the slideshow, in miliseconds
var slideshowspeed=8000
var whichlink=0
var whichimage=0
function slideit(){

}
slideit()
//-->
</script>
fooling around with it, I think I have determined that my problem is the window.open in the function gotoshow, but again, I'm a designer who has little knowledge of how this actually works. If it helps, here is a link to my site where I have the slideshow, http://gravescreativedesign.com/services.html All of the images link to the index page for my site at the moment for testing purposes, but these images will eventually link to different urls within my portfolio section of my website. hi my website is in php . am using a javascript code to open a file .
