I need to create a brochure-cd from a website I did. All resources are html, images and xml, so i don't have any problem at all in accessing file system. My question is: once I open my index.html page in browser, how can I set the params of the window (eg: show addressbar, show statusbar, etc)
Thanks
(If you have an alternative idea of how run an html based brochure on CD just let me know)
EDIT: Specs changed, I've just knewn I must write xml and upload file, too. Any idea? I'm considering Adobe Air, but would be amazing if I can compile a whole .NET website into an exe..... Anything similar?
The only way you can set these is when you open the page, not after it's already present. So, you will probably have to have a start page, which then opens your new page, with the parameters you want.
Be warned though, if you have any JavaScript, many browsers won't allow scripts to run locally, or will present a nasty warning message before it will execute.
You may look into having a small desktop application on the CD that launches an instance of a browser inside of itself, assuming you can run the browser on every machine this will be run on. This will probably give you the look you're after.
I think you can't. You can only set params of a window you create. So you'll have to run a script on load that creates a new window and then closes the initial window.
There is however no way that this script is executed without warnings, if at all.
An alternative would be to develop an executable that is able to display the page, but that might not be easy, especially when you want to be browser and platform independent.

I'm creating a web game using Godot.
For close the game, i tried to use `get_tree().quit()`.
If I use it on the IDE, it works. When i tried it on my server (after exported the project) it doesn't work.
I'm sure that Exporting setting are okay.
How can I close the game?
And, how can I add an hypertext link (similar to html `` tag)?
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my bad English
Exit the game
On the web, using
get_tree().quit()
Should work. That is, it should stop the runtime. The game will not continue running. It does not close the browser tab. In fact, browsers have restriction on scripts closing tabs.
Note: Make sure you are using Godot 3.2.3 or newer (see #39604). I tried it, it works.
Making a link
You can a LinkButton, which is a button that looks like an hyperlink. And you want to connect its "pressed" signal to a script where you use OS.shell_open, for example:
OS.shell_open("https://example.com")
Note: This result in a new tab in web exports. On the desktop it opens the default browser.
Navigating the browser
Since you ask about closing the game, and about making a link, I'll venture to guess that what you actually want is to navigate (leaving the game and going to another page), you can accomplish that with JavaScript.eval, for example:
JavaScript.eval("window.location.href='https://example.com'")
Note: This can only work on a web export.
Detecting Web Build
You can use OS.get_name to identify the platform.
For example, you can do this:
if OS.get_name() == "HTML5":
JavaScript.eval("window.location.href='https://example.com'")
else:
OS.shell_open("https://example.com")
Which will navigate the browser if this is a web build, but if it isn't, it will try to open the default browser.
I have got a desktop application which logs into a file, opening a file called application.log each time it wants to log something, appending text and then closing it again.
I would like to create a html page showing the content of the file and automatically showing the changes.
How can I achieve this? I think that refreshing the page is not a good idea because this is not instantaneous. Maybe I need something always going in the background, constantly monitoring the file.
Or maybe when my program changes the file it should somehow notify the webpage that the file had changed, making it update the content?
You can’t do dynamic things in HTML. HTML is just a mark up language.
I haven’t done that before, but I would try to achieve it with Java Script and the reload() function every time you logged sth.
I cloned this https://github.com/Chainfrog-dev/async_flask_2, it is a Python module which communicates with a web page using sockets.
I made the obvious modifications to the code and I ended up with a terminal-style logger which automatically updates its content without the need to refresh the page.
If I am building an HTML5 web app.. And all the rendering, UI events, etc are handled on the client, then the client gets to see the source code correct?
I am working on an enterprise HTML5 application but Id like the source code to be hidden. Are there any options?
Is it also possible to somehow hide UI graphic elements (buttons, backgrounds, sounds, etc?)
What are the options here?
Thank you
My ready answer is No : your javascript code as well as links to jQuery UI code is visible on the client's asking to "view the source".
The question is : Is it possible for your code to be applied/run by the client's browser without being shown as "source?"Is there a way :- to prevent the client from seeing the "source"; or - to destroy the incoming code as soon as it has been run and displayed once?
The second eventuality seems excluded unless there are no further javascript actions on the client's side(?)

Quick answer: No.
Why? Well, your browser (the client) effectively downloads assets like HTML, JS and CSS (along with images and other media objects), to render on the users machine.
Because all client code is downloaded to the client, the user can essentially do with the client code, whatever they wish to.
Server side code does not get to the client, because it is processed on the server, which then produces client translatable output...again, HTML etc. You only see the end result, with the source that produced it locked away on your guarded server.
Your best bet, is to simply minify and compress your JS assets. This won't do much against a savvy developer, but it may be off-putting to the casual thief.
In any case, theft is theft and if your code is found to be used by someone else's company, I guess you have a case to file a lawsuit against them...even though in a way, it's public code.
Make sure you put a license statement with all of your code, so that you're legally covered.
I want to modify chrome start page, change background and maybe logo.
I want to include jQuery in users local storage and load it while users page loads ( search page )
I never done anything with chrome so I want some way where to start. Do I go reading with apps or extensions?
As a rule of thumb: Choose an app if you want to develop an (independent) application that can stand on its own. If you want to interact with the browser (e.g. modify a web page), build an extension.
In your case, you definitely need an extension.
Change start page - use chrome_url_overrides in the manifest file to override newtab.
Locally store jQuery: Although it's possible to store jQuery in local storage, you're probably fine with packaging jQuery with your extension.
To add it to your user's "search page", you have to use a content script. By default, content scripts run in an execution environment that is different from the page (the document's DOM is shared though). Usually, this behavior is desired. If you really want to expose the jQuery library to the scripts in the page, take a look at this answer.
If you really want to load some script from a remote location and use it as a content script, read Chrome extension adding external javascript to current page's html.
I'm not sure what you mean by "change background and maybe logo". If you're referring to the browser's appearance, the only option to do that is by creating a theme. This must be a separate extension.
What I'm trying to do is to save the changes I make to CSS and HTML on different sites with Firebug.
Just to be clear, I don't expect Firebug to upload the changes to the server via FTP or anything. I just want to save the changes locally, so only I will be able to see them.
For example I've seen a few Firefox/Chrome extensions that add a download button under every video on Youtube, so I know it's possible to do that somehow.
If you have a different way to achieve what I'm trying to do, I'll be glad to hear about it.
(It doesn't have to be with Firebug.)
Thanks in advance!
If you don't mind using Web Developer Toolbar it's easy to save changes made to the DOM (and CSS).
When you install the toolbar, you'll get a "View Source" menu, click on that and choose "View generated source". Then just copy and paste that into a .html file.
You did not say if you alter your HTML or CSS, if CSS, FireFile is a very good addon for this.
Edit, with some Googling, i found FireDiff, which states that it can export changes made in Firebug, i have not tested it bit it's worth checking out.
You could try using Greasemonkey.
It has support for adding custom scripts that are run whenever you load a page (linked to which pages it should load on) and that can make changes to the page dynamically.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
The http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ web developer toolbar will let you add a user style sheet to a site which should achieve your goals.
This may or may not be exactly what you're asking for, but you can download the extension FireDiff in order to save changes made with FireBug. I made a little tutorial on how to do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4OmZLX2zd4
I have a somewhat simlar use-case that I solved differently. I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for or not. I'll describe the behavior and if that is helpful I'll explain exactly how I implemented it.
I changed the code that execute when you click "Run" (or Ctrl+Enter) to check to see if the first line of the code is a hard-coded string //LoadFromFile:<file path>. If it is, and the file exists then I pull the file off of the local file system and run it instead of executing the code in the console window. This way I can use an external text editor to write code.
