How can I get my asp.net webpage to display a word document in the browser? This is a controlled environment where everyone has exactly the same browser settings and everyone uses internet explorer 7. It is an intranet environment.
http://www.textcontrol.com/ appears to have some components allowing you to do that. Additionally, you might want to try embedding the document via ActiveX.

Good day.
So, here is my issue.
I'm currently using sharepoint 2010 for web applications, I am supposed to display pdf as part of a web page. Currently, the browser tends to download the pdf file instead of displaying it.
Content-disposition is already set to inline.
I've also used iframe, and src is pointing to custom httpHandler.
I've already added "application/pdf" MIME type in the list of AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes as per the advice in this link http://www.pdfshareforms.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/.
However, the application still failed to display it, and it prompts the user to download the file instead.
I'm using mozilla firefox v12 and ie8 to test the application, they both exhibit the same behavior.
What else is missing? Thank you.
It's important to remember that not all browsers, especially older ones like Internet Explorer 8, have the ability to render PDF content inline. In these older browsers, this was generally accomplished through plug-ins like Adobe Reader or Foxit being installed on the client machine.
Basically, if you are using an older browser, your users will likely need one of these (or a similar) plug-in installed. Otherwise when the browser encounters a PDF file, it will serve it to the user, as it doesn't really know how to deal with it.
There is also a chance that this could be a permissions / settings issue similar to the one addressed in this related question. You may want to review over some of the discussions within that thread as well as this Sharepoint 2010 one, which details a a setting called "Browser File Handling" and how it's default value of "strict" can affect how PDFs and other files are accessed.
He came across the solution while looking at the "Web Application General Settings". There is a setting called Browser File Handling and by default it is set to strict.
Wave web accessibility tool could be used to inspect webpages to check their compliance with accessibility standards for visually challenged. Is there any way this online tool or its Chrome extension, could be used to inspect html files hosted in local desktop server?
This is an old question, but for the benefit anyone else finding it as I did in a search for the Chrome WAVE extension not working for localhost URLs...
It appears that you need to enable "Allow access to file URLs".
Right click the WAVE icon, click "Manage Extensions" and flip the "Allow access to file URLs" switch.
The Firefox aXe extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/axe-devtools and the Chrome aXe extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/axe/lhdoppojpmngadmnindnejefpokejbdd?hl=en-US both allow for analyzing files that are on a server, on a local server and on the local file system.
The aXe rules are newer than the WAVE rules and the instructions that are provided when you click the "more info" link are clear and precise. If you are using WAVE, you should definitely give aXe a test drive.
If you can open the page in a browser, you can use the extension to check the page. I just tried it with both a page running on localhost and a page I opened as just a file on C drive.
I'm using the WAVE add-on in Firefox.
According to their site:
The toolbar can check intranet, password-protected, dynamically generated, or sensitive web pages. Also, because the WAVE toolbar evaluates the rendered version of your page, locally displayed styles and dynamically-generated content from scripts or AJAX can be evaluated.
The online tool, however, requires a public URL.
supppose I use html5 local storage for my website.
1)can End user see my local storage values through browser using view source code etc?
2)How can we enter data for HTML5 local storage as domain level, i dont want to add my records manually when page loads everytime?
3where will HTML5 local storage content be saved?
I)in client side?
II)in server side(webserver)
anyhelp please?
Not through view source, but many Developer Tools support this. So yes, a user could very easy figure out what the contents of their browser's localStorage is. For example, in Chrome, open the Developer Tools, and on the Resources tab select "Local Storage"
I think what you are asking for is "How to I add local storage without writing the code in every page". You would typically then put that code in a common .js file - and reference it whenever you needed it. If you need it in every page, then depending on which platform you are using, they probably have some sort of "master". ASP.NET WebForms has Master Pages, ASP.NET MVC has ViewStart, etc.
Client side. It's local storage - as in it is local to the browser.
In our environment we have IE clients looking over a web page with a document list. When the user clicks on a document we can start MS Word from the activex control Sharepoint Team Services Client (OWSSUPP.DLL) or expose the document list via a Shared Folder that Word can access.
Are there other choices?
One option, which would probably be frowned upon by sys admins, is to create a vbs script file on the fly that the user can choose to download and execute. The contents would be something like
CreateObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments.2").EditDocument("http://...url here")
Alternatively you could display the url and instruct the user to copy and paste it into the appropriate program (MS Word etc). Adding a button to automatically copy it to the clipboard using something like ZeroClipboard might make it less of a chore for the user.
Otherwise unfortunately I think those are your options. Sorry!
Yes, Microsoft Office now installs plugins for all 4 major browsers. So you can open for editing MS Office documents in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE.
I work in an area where the business users heavily depend on bookmarks to access their work-related web applications. Our standard browser is Internet Explorer v6. We have a new Flex application - when you add the site to Internet Explorer Favorites, then later try to access the site with the Favorites link, we get the following error message: "internet explorer cannot open the internet site http://our url. Operation aborted". If we then bring up the properties for the link and remove the trailing "#' from the url, the link works.
What is this trailing "#", and can it be removed? Is there a way to have Internet Explorer bookmarking to work for this site (other than manually editing the bookmark)? The problem doesn't occur in Firefox (but not everyone has access to that browser).
The trailing # is used to provide information to your client-side framework. It was originally meant to provide the ability to link to anchor points in an HTML document. It has been "hijacked" by JavaScript frameworks to provide state information to Flash and Flex applications.
The primary benefit of using # to navigate is that the browser doesn't navigate off the current page - meaning you only need to load your framework once. Traditional URLs would force an entire page reload.
Most likely you can't remove it. You should be able to provide a means for a secondary URL scheme that encodes what you need in a query string (?foobar=1).
You will need to configure server-side processing to either redirect the user to the hash URL or load the necessary information via a JavaScript hook to your Flex framework.
You might also look into the new Google Chrome plugin for IE.
You can turn this off in the compiler parameters in Flex Builder. Go into the project settings, then in "Flex Compiler" uncheck the box that says "Enable integration with browser navigation".
