How can I access a local HTML file on Windows 8 Phone? - html

I have been following this guide on displaying website pages as an app (http://antonylees.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/launch-website-as-mobile-app-using.html).
Everything works apart from trying to access a local HTML file as a fallback option when there is no internet connection. I have researched and tried multiple methods to try and do this without luck. The 'This app requires an internet connection' popup works fine, but when trying to load the local HTML file, I either get a grey screen or the 'Page cannot be found' message.
The suggested way is:
window.location="local/index.html";
I have also tried:
window.location.href ="local/index.html";
and:
window.open('local/index.html');
The 'local' folder is a sub-folder of 'www'.
Is there something specific to Windows Phone 8 that I am missing? Any other ideas?
I am using Visual Studio 2013 Express, The latest version of Cordova, and live debugging on a Nokia Lumia 820.

Solved! The problem was completely unrelated to Cordova etc.
I am new to MS Visual Studio and this was my first project using it. I noticed that the local HTML file I was trying to load was not showing in the Solution Explorer. I realised that I had created the file externally of MSVS. As a result I had to right click in the solution explorer and add an existing item. Once I had done that everything worked fine using the same code as in the tutorial. I am guessing that the compile process only includes files listed in the solution explorer.
Thanks for looking anyway! And at least I now know how to display code correctly in Stack Overflow ;)

TFS 2015 Code Viewer Not Working in Google Chrome

I found the following issue here in stackoverflow however cannot comment as yet. I have a similar issue and wonder if there is anyone out there that has solved it.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40917501/tfs-2015-web-portal-code-viewer-not-working#
I am encountering similar here. In house TFS 2015, can't view code in the web portal using Google Chrome however IE is fine. I, however, am not using HTTPS so may be experiencing something slightly different.
When I do try to view a file in Chrome, the window where the code listing should be is simply blank. I did note too that the button for creating a new build definition appears to be indicating a broken image link.
This has not always been an issue. Around 4 months ago I could get the code view fine in Chrome and, to my knowledge as I have no access to the servers, nothing has changed apart from Chrome updates.
I've tried getting to previous versions of Chrome to no avail, though I wouldn't know which version I was on when this did work.
Interestingly, I have one or two .MD files around and these display perfectly well. They are simple text files. However when saved with .TXT extension (or anything else I've tried), they do not show. Curious.
Update
As you will see from the screenshot below, when selection on a file has been made, in this case a .SQL file, where I would expect the view to populate nothing at all appears.
As for the F12, I do get 5 of these:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
plus associated paths of course. We use Webroot internally here which has recently dropped in a Chrome extension however even when Webroot is disabled in its entirety (including removal of extension) I get the same behaviour.
All other Chrome extensions have been removed too at varying times to try to give a clean browser.
I have no other pop up blockers, ad blockers, etc installed on the workstation.
Problem solved thanks to the F12 key suggestion.
After some grovelling I was granted domain admin privs to have a dig around everything. It turns out that TFS was installed on ServerA with a URL port of 8080, this I knew from the original install and obviously the path I follow to get to my TFS web interface. What had also been done subsequently, with no consultation of the Dev user group, was that a second TFS application tier had been installed on ServerB, the port here was 8088.
I had not noticed the difference in path initially, assuming it was Chrome or workstation related. Anyway, I altered the port on ServerB to 8080 and everything jumped into life. I should not have made assumptions and should have paid more attention to the path in the error!
It seems the second application tier was set up on a non-production environment to allow senior Dev users access to the TFS Management Console rather than allowing them access to the original app tier which was on a production box. Our IT Operations just forgot to tell anyone.
Try to update your chrome to latest version of (55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit)).
Also clear the cache of chrome. I have also encountered similar issues. The solution is clear cache and connect to the web portal use another ID, then connect back use the original ID. I have no idea which one solved the problem. You could try both.
This problem should only be an individual phenomenon, since TFS2015 has been released for a long time.

Odoo 8 interface not displaying in full height after log in

I am having a problem with Odoo 8 app interface to show full height after logging in successfully. I tried it in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera, they all show the same thing; but shows well in Internet Explorer.
See image link below.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/UW1mN.jpg
I was having same problem. Then I logged out and created a new db, it started working then properly. Don't know why it happened but solved this problem.
I have faced it many times. It usually happens while installing a new module or upgrading a module with following issue(s)
1. any error/mistake made in openerp.py file while mentioning path for any specific file such as "qweb XML" files.
2. Any error/mistake in defining path of a file which is included in module such as path for JS, CSS files.
3. Access right issue on a file. File may not have read permission for odoo user
If you have recently added a new module in Odoo Addons, remove it from addons and then try, it will work.
Hope this Helps!

Brackets live preview not working

I am working on a local project (read: offline) and I am trying to get Brackets' live preview to work since it comes in handy quite often.
Right now I have opened my project files using Brackets' "open file" option since it supposedly maps the path to the source files. Although I am getting an error saying In order for Live Preview to connect, Chrome needs to be relaunched with remote debugging enabled.
I have read else where that Chrome, by default, does not need to be relaunched for that change and that Brackets force this flag by itself.
I have tried reinstalling Brackets, launching with another project and searched all over Chrome for this flag and did not find any thing.
Any tips?
This page shows you how to instal remote debugging! It's a Chrome dev tool. It's geared towards android apps for whatever reason, but I had that same error, and following the instructions on that page helped me launch the brackets page.
If that doesn't work, here are some troubleshooting tips that have helped me out with live preview:
1) Make sure your filename has a .html at the end
2) Use different browser (I've found chrome to be a bit finicky with brackets)
3) Make a different blank file, launch that, then launch the file
Open the folder, not the file, and then select the file.

ActiveX and CAB

I have created ActiveX for a test web application also I have created a cab file which store this dll. I have added the object element into the html and the cab wasnt installed, how ever when I opened the html file localy and not from the server all was ok, I am working with IE11
Please look at this SO question. Check if you did everything that was discussed there.
Also, please update your question and write what Security zone does the page get into when accessing from net and when run from local html file.

VS2013 deploys Windows Phone app to emulator only after 'Rebuild Solution' command

Something weird happened to one of my C# Windows Phone 8 Silverlight projects.
It's a simple page with one TextBox I'm experimenting with, building a customized style for it. First I placed a TextBox on the PhoneApplicationPage, generated a style template for it using the 'Edit Template\Edit a Copy' command from the context menu in the designer. Now I'm changing some setters and property values in the style, but when I hit F5, an old version of my project is launched in the emulator - all my recent changes aren't taken into account. The latest changes are reflected in the launched app only after I issue the 'Rebuild Solution' command from the Build menu.
The XAML markup has no errors, and it seems all stuff is correct. Other WP8 projects are built and deployed to the emulator ok too. The problem does not depend on the selected emulator (WVGA 512Mb, 720p, etc). Restarting VS/emulator has no effect too.
What it can be and how to fix it?
Some more info. For any normal project I see this in the Output window when I hit F5 (the app full path was shorten to save space):
But for the problem project, the output log ends on the line '1> Xap packaging completed successfully' and the old version of the app is opened in the emulator immediately.
It seems, I have managed to find the reason of this strange issue. This can happen if the name of a WP app includes spaces! I noticed that if we create a new project and use the space character in its name, the spaces are replaced with the underscore characters on the phone (for instance, "WP Test App" is deployed under the name "WP_Test_App"). I also found this while searching for a solution of this problem:
App doesn't get updated then debugging - incrmental update not correctly working?
I played a little bit with the names of my project and solution, i.e. removed the spaces in them, and it helped to solve my puzzle.
BTW, as the author of the question under the above link states, this problem never occurred in the WP 7.1 SDK - it is specific only for the WP 8 SDK.
