I am attempting to open named destinations in pdfs in Chrome. This will be used in a tool that I am developing but I am testing it in more general Chrome first. Some of my destinations open up on the right page and right section, which I can see in Adobe Acrobat. However, some of them either open at the top or bottom of the page, instead of the correct section. Is there a way I can fix this? It works perfectly fine in Firefox so I am unsure why it does not work in Chrome.

On a web application we manage, there is an issue only present in Edge Chromium. There is a button to download a file: an Excel macro file. When clicking the button in Edge, the file is opened in Excel. However, the login page of the webapplication appears in the XLSM file in Excel, instead of opening the xlsm file itself. In Google Chrome, the file is not opened, but downloaded first and when clicking open, we get the wanted behaviour.
This is the code behind the button (confidential data replaced by XXX):
<input type="submit" onclick="redirectToNavUrlGA('https://XXX.xlsm','XXX','XXX','XXXXXX'); return false;" value="XXXXXX">
When calling the URL directly in a cache cleared-Edge browser, the login page appears in browser and the file is downloaded correctly. Only when you are already logged in the to application, the issue is present. But users will always be logged in already, so not a good workaround.
The URL is using reverse proxy to point to a Sharepoint 2010 site to download the file. I've read some issues with Edge Chromium and SP 2010, is this maybe the cause of the issue?
Do you have any other ideas that could be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance.
According to your description, I think the main problem is the compatibility issue between SharePoint 2010 and Edge. The Edge browser is not included in SharePoint 2010 browser support, and even Edge IE 11 mode is not supported. So I suggest that you can use a supported browser.
I'm teaching a Year7 class via Zoom on writing HTML, and I have one student on an iPad (the rest are on desktops/laptops), and they're not able to get their webpage to open in Safari (I'm using Chrome on Windows, which of course is simply a matter of double-clicking on the file). I'm trying to see what she sees, but I think Zoom is possibly not showing me the pop-up dialogues. She is using Notes to write the page (which looked to be the closest iOS equivalent to Notepad).
I Googled and sent her a few blogs, but still not working. I said she needs to click on Share and look for something like "copy path to file" or "copy link", and then paste that into the Safari address bar. She said when she did that Safari was showing the source code, not the rendered page. When she just taps the file it opens in Notes, not Safari. That made me suspect her file was actually index.html.txt (she tells me she has extensions switched on), but when I sent her my own file, which is definitely only index.html, she says the same thing is happenning.
Is anyone able to give me some definite step-by-step instructions (this is for a Year 7 student) on how to open their local HTML page in Safari?
thanks,
Donald.
Safari iPad no longer supports access to local or iCloud files. A number of iPadOS apps will however allow a user to view, edit, and test html code in files stored in local iPad, iCloud, or third party (e.g. Google or Dropbox) storage folders. One needs only to search in the App Store for “html editor” to see the list. Some of the apps have features that rival or exceed those found in tools on desktop (laptop) systems.
I had the same issue today on ios15.
There is a free app called Koder available on the App Store which will let you edit and view the HTML file. I’m no expert but the editor looks pretty fully featured at first glance.
Sorry to say but an iPad is obviously not the best place for simple HTML editing. At least not with the default apps available on iOS.
Given an existing HTML File one can use Files app to navigate to it and open it with double click. This will open the file in a very simple viewer wich is at least able to render the HTML. As a developer i bet its using WKWebView which is basically Safari's HTML View.
Turns out Microsoft Edge, unlike Safari, can still open local html files. Discovered in this answer. To wit:
Install Microsoft Edge from the App Store
Open Files (or whatever file browsing app you like).
Open the file, then tap the Share button to send to another app.
Scroll across to "More...", choose Edge, and voila!
Our application uses a popup window to show a report. This works in every browser except Chrome.
In Chrome the URL in the Network tab of the inspector has a blank response. I also see Chrome loading an inject.preload.js script from disk cache?
This exact same page works in Firefox and Safari as well. I haven't been able to check IE yet (i'm on a mac today).
What is this inject.preload.js script and why would Chrome not load a URL in a popup?
The exact same code running staging servers works, the popup loads just fine. In production it works everywhere except Chrome. Both staging and production use SSL, have the same config, etc.
I unfortunately can't link as its a secured site.
Inject.preload.js is generally some sort of adblocker. It could be the case that its acting up and blocking your popup. If it is the case, it would show as an icon to the right of the address bar.
I just created this site and because I am using a Mac, I do not have IE. I have had a few people tell me that they are not able to download PDF files. That is to say, when they click on a link that is supposed to display a PDF file in a new tab, they get a "This page can not be displayed" error. I can take the same file and put it on a different website, create a link and it works fine in IE.
The link to this page is www.dallascameraclub.org. Try clicking on any Newsletter as they are all PDF's. They will produce an error in IE. Works fine in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.
This is a wordpress site and I have never heard nor had this problem before. I have no idea why this would be the case.
Research seems to always blame IE for something or another but there are several people complaining of this when this issue never happened on the older site. Same links, same PDF's and other document types. I am a bit perplexed.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Houston
I asked this question earlier but there was a typo in my post -not my code as the moderators (correctly) believed. I'm asking this again because the code appears correct.
I'm using php to build a link to files on our network drives. The link appears fine:
100212
If I click on the link in the browser, it doesn't work -nothing happens, no error etc..
If I cut and paste the following out of the page source and paste it into the address the browser opens it right up.
file://///192.168.0.199/public/data/thefolder/ineed/100000-100999/K100212
I've tried it in both Firefox and Chrome with the same results. I'm stumped. Thoughts?
Edit: I found out the link works in IE (v11) but it opens the directory in Windows Explorer instead of the browser as Firefox and Chrome do if I paste the link into the address bar.
My first thought was some kind of browser security issue but why would it work when pasted into the browser address bar but not work when the link is clicked on?
Yes, there are a lot of slashes -it's a network drive and I'm drilling down in a tree. I didn't design it I just have to deal with it...
Thanks for your time.
So, as Olly points out below -Links that access local/network file systems are intentionally disabled in both in Firefox or Chrome due to security restrictions - though it seems odd that both Chrome and Firefox allow you to access the same path through the address bar??
