Oracle Forms 10g - Closing IE after opening msg file - oracleforms

We are using web.show_document built-in in Oracle forms (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') ) to open outlook msg files stored at a location.
While opening msg files, a new IE browser gets open along with msg file. User need to close this additional browser.

I infer that you do not wish the separate IE browser to be opened in the first place? If that is the case, then there is another option than what I present below. Read on.
Option 1:
From the Forms documentation, the target ("_blank") parameter has a few different possible values.
target  Datatype is VARCHAR2. Specifies one of the following targets:
'_self' Causes the document to load
into the same frame or window as the
source document.
'_parent' Causes the target document
to load into the parent window or
frameset containing the hypertext
reference. If the reference is in a
window or top-level frame, it is
equivalent to the target _self.
'_top' Causes the document to load
into the window containing the
hypertext link, replacing any frames
currently displayed in the window.
'_blank' (default) Causes the
document to load into a new, unnamed
top-level window.
Note that these targets are lowercase and enclosed in single quotation marks.
Option 2:
If you would rather not have an IE window open up at all, there is a package in WEBUTIL.PLL called WEBUTIL_HOST. It would allow you to open a file from the perspective of the client. I am going out on a limb here an making an assumption that the URI you mentioning as 'file:///file_name' is a file path that is likely accessible from the client already.
Hope this helps, I made a few assumptions here. If you provide some more info on the specific situation, that would be helpful.

start browser at an anchor possibly using a tag

I am developing an interactive software for thermodynamic calculations using an html help file with "anchor/target" features to select the appropriate part of the help file when the user types a ? as answer to a question.
This works well but at present a new browser window is opened each time the user types a "?". I would prefer to start a new tag if there already is a browser window opened.
At present my program activate the help by creating a character with the content: browser "file:helpfile#target"
and then call the Fortran subroutine execute_system_command(character).
"browser" can be firefox or whatever is the preferred browser by the user (on Mac including path);
"helpfile" contains the path and name of the my html help file;
"target" is a text which depend on the question asked by the software to localize the appropriate help text.
How can I modify this so I open a new tag in the browser (if it is already opened) rather than starting a new browser window?
Maybe something like "target=_blank" can be added?
My program is written in the new Fortran standard so I have no facilities that might be available in Java or Python. It must work using different browsers on different OS.
As #Vladimir pointed out I ment a "tab", there are so many terms. But the answers I had made me reconsider which browser I could use. And I made some new discoveries.
On Windows I used the old Explorer because the path to Firefox contains a space and when I tried to start Firefox to open a file
I had to enclose "C:\Program ...\firefox" within double quotes. That works to start the browser but if I want the browser to open a file I must enclose that also within double quote and that did not work. I am not sure if the problem was the Fortran intrinsic EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE(txt) or deeper down. But the old Explorer I could start without "" and just enclose "file:/help.html" with "".
So now I tried to be smart wrote a test program enclosing just the directories with a space within using "" i.e.
C:"Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"\firefox.exe "file:/help.html"
in the call to EXEXUTE...
and that worked and opened the helpfile in a tab as is my default.
Problem solved? No, when I had exchanged the browser with path in the program and tested it did not find the browser. The reason was that I have a test that the browser exist using another Fortran intrinsic INQUIRE and as I understand doublequotes are not legal inside file names so INQUIRE did not find firefox when there are " inside the path. Only if " are used around the whole file name it worked. So back to square one? No, I simply removed the " in the path+browser before calling INQUIRE, then used the path with "" inside when calling EXECTUE ...
and now it everything works as I wanted!

Sublime text 2 Snippets - autocomplete

I've created a bunch of snippets in Sublime Text 2, but I cant remember them all off the top of my head. I've seen in a number of tutorials that as people start typing their snippets tab-triggers it will start to provide a list of the matching snippets. I don't see this.
Is there a setting somewhere for this? Or do I need to create a special file (completions file?). For most snippets I have the <scope> commented out as I may use in a PHP or HTML file for example depending what I am working on.
Most of my snippets tab triggers start the same elq- prefix, so it would be very helpful if it were to start showing me the options as I type.
The setting auto_complete_selector controls when Sublime automatically offers the popup for possible completions. The default value for this setting is:
// Controls what scopes auto complete will be triggered in
"auto_complete_selector": "source - comment",
This means that it will automatically pop up for any file that's considered a source code file, except within a comment.
The scopes for the file types that you mention in your question are text scopes and not source scopes, which stops the popup from appearing.
One way around that would be to manually invoke the auto complete panel by using the appropriate key binding, which by default is Alt+/ on Linux or Ctrl+Space on Windows/OSX. When you do that, the popup for possible completions at this point is manually displayed.
To allow this to work more automatically, you would need to modify the setting for auto_complete_selector to be more appropriate for your situation.
To do that you could select Preferences > Settings - User from the menu and add or modify the auto_complete_selector setting as follows:
"auto_complete_selector": "source - comment, text.html",
This says that the selector should always be displayed in source files except inside comments (like the default) and also within HTML files.
You could also use text instead of text.html if you want it to work in all text files of all types, although this would possibly get quite annoying while working with plain text files. Substitute an appropriate scope or set of scopes here as appropriate to dial in the places you want this to be automatically offered.

Force autocomplete suggestions for file paths

I am currently working on a controller file for a Phalcon project. I like how PhpStorm gives you autocomplete suggestions when writing a src or href value in an HTML file. I was wondering, is possible to enable autocomplete suggestions when adding resources in a controller?
This is what happens when I force autocomplete suggestions(Ctrl + Space)
This is what I would like to happen.
EDIT: I should also note that I have marked the folder, containing all my resources(ie. CSS, javascript, and images), as the "Resource root".
RE: EDITThis does not affect availability of this feature/functionality in any way as "Resource roots" are used for path resolutions/validation and not for actual "offer this functionality or hide it" choice. -LazyOne
Unfortunately there is no real way of automatically providing such functionality in random string as it's hard to guess that file path is expected in this particular place (function parameters is different case -- here some hinting mechanics (special annotation) may work).
But .. you can forcibly enable it manually for each particular place (should last until file or project is closed):
Have some code, e.g. $someVar = ['css' => 'aaa'];
Place caret inside aaa string (it has to be 3 or more characters, based on my observations, otherwise option in #4 will not be present -- must be some sort of optimisation/limitation from IDE side)
Invoke shortcut to bring "Quick Fix" menu (Alt + Enter on Windows)
Choose Inject language or reference from appeared menu
Choose File Reference from next menu
Start using it (Ctrl + Space)

I see an `onprogress` when I inspect a `Form` element. Can I use it?

I see an onprogress when I inspect a Form element, on Chrome and Firefox (both latest stable versions). Can I use it to monitor the progress of the form submission?
I want to submit/upload a file (that will be big most of the time) to a server that is not under my control, I can't just do a POST to it with XMLHttpRequest because it won't send any of the CORS required headers. So I'm going for the form/iframe way, creating a form element with all the fields, add a file input, append to the file input the file instance I got from another dialog, create an iframe and set the target of the form to the name of the iframe.
Is this onprogress attribute something I can use? I can't find any docs regarding the onprogress attribute of a form. Is that just an inherited attribute or does it actually work?

what is the # symbol in the url

I went to some photo sharing site, so when I click the photo, it direct me to a url like
www.example.com/photoshare.php?photoid=1234445
. and when I click the other photo in this page the url become
www.example.com/photoshare.php?photoid=1234445#3338901
and if I click other photos in the same page, the only the number behind # changes. Same as the pretty photo like
www.example.com/photoshare.php?album=holiday#!prettyPhoto[gallery2]/2/
.I assume they used ajax because the whole page seems not loaded, but the url is changed.
The portion of a URL (including and) following the # is the fragment identifier. It is special from the rest of the URL. The key to remember is "client-side only" (of course, a client could choose to send it to the server ... just not as a fragment identifier):
The fragment identifier functions differently than the rest of the URI: namely, its processing is exclusively client-side with no participation from the server — of course the server typically helps to determine the MIME type, and the MIME type determines the processing of fragments. When an agent (such as a Web browser) requests a resource from a Web server, the agent sends the URI to the server, but does not send the fragment. Instead, the agent waits for the server to send the resource, and then the agent processes the resource according to the document type and fragment value.
This can be used to navigate to "anchor" links, like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier#Basics (note how it goes the "Basics" section).
While this used to just go to "anchors" in the past, it is now used to store navigatable state in many JavaScript-powered sites -- gmail makes heavy use of it, for instance. And, as is the case here, there is some "photoshare" JavaScript that also makes use of the fragment identifier for state/navigation.
Thus, as suspected, the JavaScript "captures" the fragment (sometimes called "hash") changing and performs AJAX (or other background task) to update the page. The page itself is not reloaded when the fragment changes because the URL still refers to the same server resource (the part of the URL before the fragment identifier).
Newer browsers support the onhashchange event but monitoring has been supported for a long time by various polling techniques.
Happy coding.
It's called the fragment identifier. It identifies a "part" of the page. If there is an element with a name or id attribute equal to the fragment text, it will cause the page to scroll to that element. They're also used by rich JavaScript apps to refer to different parts of the app even though all the functionality is located on a single HTML page.
Lately, you'll often see fragments that start with "#!". Although these are still technically just fragments that start with the ! character, that format was specified by Google to help make these AJAXy pseudo-pages crawlable.
The '#' symbol in the context of a url (and other things) is called a hash, what comes after the hash is called a fragment. Using JavaScript you can access the fragment and use its contents.
For example most browsers implement a onhashchange event, which fires when the hash changes. Using JavaScript you can also access the hash from location.hash. For example, with a url like http://something.com#somethingelse
var frag = location.hash.substr(1);
console.log(frag);
This would print 'somethingelse' to the console. If we didn't use substr to remove the first character, it frag would be: '#somethingelse'.
Also, when you navigate to a URL with a hashtag, the browser will try and scroll down to an element which has an id corresponding to the fragment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier
It is the name attribute of an anchor URL: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp
It is used to make a bookmark within an HTML page (and not to be confused with bookmarks in toolbars, etc.).
In your example, if you bookmarked the page with the # symbol in the URL, when you visit that bookmark again it will display the last image that you viewed, most likely an image that has the id of 3338901.
hey i used sumthing like this .... simple but useful
location.href = data.url.replace(/%2523/, '%23');
where data.url is my original url . It substitutes the # in my url
