Is it possible to view a webpage (or local html-file) in a new sidebar, like the integrated help-pages do? And what would be the vba code to launch it?
I'd like to provide some help-files with my xlam but don't want to use the old chm-files...

Background:
I need to allow users to create web pages for various products, with each page having a standard overall appearance. So basically, I will have a template, and based on the input data I need the HTML page to be generated for each product. The input data will be submitted via a web form, following which the data should be merged with the template to produce the output.
I initially considered using a pure templating approach such as Nunjucks, but moved to ReactJS as I have prior experience with the latter.
Problem:
Once I display the output page (by adding the user input to the template file with placeholders), I am getting the desired output page displayed in the browser. But how can I now obtain the HTML code for this specific page?
When I tried to view the source code of the page, I see the contents of 'public/index.html' stating:
This HTML file is a template.
If you open it directly in the browser, you will see an empty page.
Expectedly, the same happens when I try to save (Save As...) the html page via the browser. I understand why the above happens.
But I cannot find a solution to my requirement. Can anyone tell me how I can download/save the static source code for the output page displayed on the browser.
I have read possible solutions such as installing 'React/Redux Development Extension' etc... but these would not work as a solution for external users (who cannot be expected to install these extensions to use my tool). I need a way to do this on production environment.
p.s. Having read the "background" info of my task, do let me know if you can think of any better ways of approaching this.
Edit note:
My app is currently actually just a single page, that accepts user data via a form and displays the output (in a full screen dialog). I don't wish to have these output pages 'published' on the website, and these are simply to be saved/downloaded for internal use. So simply being able to get the "source code" for the dislayed view/page on the browser and saving this to a file would solve my problem. But I am not sure if there is a way to do this?
Its recommended that you use a well-known site generator such as Gatsby or Next for your static sites since "npx create-react-app my-app" is for single page apps.

If I'm understanding correctly, you need to generate a new page link for each user. Each of your users will have their own link (http/https) to share with their users.
For example, a scheduling tool will need each user to create their own "booking page", which is a generated link (could be on your domain --> www.yourdomain.com/bookinguser1).
You'll need user profiles to store each user's custom page, a database, and such. If you're not comfortable, I'll use something like an e-commerce tool that will do it for you.
You can turn on the debugger (f12) and go to "Elements"
Then right-click on the HTML tag and press edit as HTML
And then copy everything (ctrl + a)
I am working on a project which requires me to add a chart store in HTML file into excel. The MS web browser Active X control does not allow me to add a web browser. If I do that using VBA, it gives me some error related to not displaying Active Content. Please provide me some assistance on this. I have used IE object in VBA, but it opens the HTML file in IE.
The best way to do this would be to take the Microsoft web browser app and insert it into excel cells. This will allow you to insert the HTML.
Please note excel is not made to handle HTML and as such you won't be able to go in-depth with you HTML. Rather use different programs like MT Blocks to get the desired result.

I have to embed a dynamic dashboard (written using HTML/CSS/JS) created by myself inside a Visio Drawing (.vsdx) file.
I haven't find a way to do that. If it is not possible directly in Visio, can I embed that dashboard in Visio by using another Microsoft Office Application?
I understand the content needs to stay dynamic. Insert Microsoft's Webbrowser control in the drawing.
You may need some code to get it to navigate to your page.

I am using Access 2013 with our enterprise Office 365 Sharepoint site to create a simple Access App. I'm unsure of all the terminology--the main point is that this is an Access App as opposed to a desktop application. I am wondering if there is a way to display an image on a list view, where the image source is a data field. Here's what I can do so far and where I get stuck:
I can add a picture control. I can set the picture to a permanent URL that displays just fine in the view. However, this is a permanent setting for the view of any record.
I can add a URL field to the table. It's easy to pick the URL in datasheet view, and on list view, it's difficult to change the URL, but clicking on it will pop up the image (or whatever link) in a new tab or window.
I can create a Web Browser Control. I can have this control source be the URL frame. When I look at this view using an IE browser, I get something that looks like an iFrame. However, no matter what URL I try, the content will not load.
More clarification here: Depending on whether I try Flickr or an image hosted on my own OneDrive, I get different errors. One of the errors I get (tyring to use my own OneDrive with publicly shared image) is: "To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
More information: If I link to a publicly shared image from Google Drive, then the Web Browser Control does in fact show the image. This is not ideal, and I'd rather be able to dynamically change the link for the Picture Control, as opposed to embedding web content.
This is where I am stuck on two avenues. (A) The Web Browser Control will not show any content (maybe this is a security setting of my institution's Sharepoint 2013?). And (B) I cannot figure out how to dynamically change the URL for the picture control. Option B may be possible with a macro, but macros in Access Apps are different than desktop version and much more limited in capability. And I'm not good at either set of macros. Thanks for any ideas!
I want to get ALL of the html from an open webpage on my computer using vB6. The webpage has multiple frames. I don't know html and I am not sure what frames are so please take that into account with your answer. I simply want the html in a text file in any text format so i can search through it for data. The 'IE show source' has all the info i need, but how to get that with a vb6 program? Most web searches I have done come up with how to get the html by downloading using an url and that wont work for me. I need the html from an open instance of IE. Preferably using the internetexplorer object with VB6. Thanks.
Save the HTML's source code.
Add it to the environment variables and open VB6:
Open a new project/file
Include your saved html
Drag an drop the boxes
Have you tried the Winsock control? I think that is what your looking for.
