I'm using C# to generate emails that are read using Lotus notes. The problem is we want the links to always open up in a new window in IE but they always open in the same window when I use "Lotus Notes - Basic Edition" (8.0.1) but when I use the regular lotus notes 8.0.1, they always open up in a new window. I tried looking around in the preferences but can't find a setting that'll explain this.
(note: I'm using IE 8 as my default browser. If I change it to chrome or FF this doesn't happen)
Not sure you are still facing this problem or not, but for the sake of other users posting the solutions.
In Location Preferences, under Internet Browser, don't select "Microsoft Internet Explorer", instead select others and then browse to path of Internet Explorer -
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
Save it. Now your links will always open in different IE window.
When you generate the emails, are you able to enter HTML code for the links? If so, perhaps you just need to add a target="_blank" attribute?
The preferences for which browser to use in Lotus Notes are set on the client's location document, so I'm not sure if that's part of the issue your having?
This sounds more like an admin question, but the link will get opened based on the preferences in the individual client. In 8 basic the location document controls this. Edit the current location document and go to the Internet Browser tab. You can then choose which browser to use. It sounds like you have it set to use IE inside notes, rather than separately.
The fact you can open links properly with Firefox, Chrome means the issue is not with Lotus Notes.
I have seen issues where IE wasn't working with _Blank. Switching off UAE resolved the issue.

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!
I have a very simple question I could not find answer for myself: I want links in OneNote to open in Chrome.
Note that the default browser is IE and I cannot change it (not admin etc).
Tried: "chrome_path url" - didn't work. Everything I could think about didn't work.
Please provide explicit solution so that link from within OneNote opens in Chrome rather than in IE.
To note, there are multiple links, so batch file won't do in this case.
Thank you in advance!
I had a little go with testing some ideas that I had though I'm very new to OneNote. It's easy enough to open Chrome from a hyperlink:
Select text to link
Add link
Select the file icon and navigate to chrome.exe. In my instance - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
I believe you cannot pass arguments to the exe as it is considered a security issue. This certainly used to be the case and I'm not sure if they have modified their thinking since. The only way I can think of is to create a batch file which includes your ideal website and link to the batch file:
"start chrome http://www.youtube.com"
I found two ways to do it, though neither is the perfect:
There is a 3rd party OneNote add-on which adds more browsers in the right-click menu. Though it is not free and maybe can't be installed on restricted computers.
It works only on OneNote docs which are saved onto Onedrive. Open the OneNote page which has the links right in the Chrome, not in the desktop app. Then any links you click will open in the same browser. You can get the address of the OneNote page by clicking on 'Copy Link to Page' in OneNote app, then paste it to a notepad. Copy the first url to Chrome's address bar.
For those who has admin right, this problem can be solved by following Make Chrome your default browser. It is set at machine level, not onenote level.
we have a website with links to a sharepoint. These features in sharepoint only work in IE so i dont want to open up firefox or chrome if that is the default browser. Is there anyway to have a
My Link
force open up in internet explorer ?
You can use javascript to inject the link in your HTML code if the client is IE, and maybe show a warning message if the browser isn't IE. Anyway you can't tell any browser to open a link using another browser.
No, definitely not.
For Firefox users, the best thing that comes to mind is to have them install the IE tab. It allows the opening of pages inside Firefox but using the IE engine - but also requires user action.
If this is run in a windows environment, you could use a PHP script to open Internet Explorer through PHPs support for COM objects.
If you are interested I can provide the script to do this.
For testing
I don't want to upload CSS to FTP on each change until the site is complete, but the site and content is online. (I'm not talking about saving page locally then apply CSS)
Can I just apply the CSS locally to any online page?
It would be easier to edit and see changes locally until the CSS work is done.
I want to see the applied effect on Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Is this at all possible?

I think this is the closet way

but only for firefox
Edit : 29 April 2010
I found another better way
http://www.tomjewett.com/accessibility/508-eval-tools.html
In FireFox, from the Web Developer toolbar, select CSS -> Add User Style
Sheet, browse to wherever you stored
it and click the Open button. When you
are finished, just un-check the "Add
User Style Sheet" on the toolbar CSS
menu.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Tools -> Internet Options... ->
Accessibility... and check the "Format
documents using my style sheets" box.
Using the Browse button, open the
lowvis.css style sheet from wherever
you stored it, and click OK to both
the Accessibility and the Internet
Options panels. When you are finished,
simply un-check the "...my style
sheets" box on the Accessibility
panel.
I'd use a proxy such as Charles and use its URL remapping features to divert requests for the stylesheets to local files.
Sounds like you could use version control. Try http://git-scm.com/ or http://subversion.tigris.org/ ( http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ for a non-command line version)--it does a lot more, but it would allow you to do what you want, and what else it does it sounds like you might need.
Talk to your server admin about setting one or another up.
If you have web developer toolbar then you can view the current css and edit the same and then can see the changes ....
Its available for both firfox and IE
Ie web developer toolbar for IE
and Firefox web developer toolbar for firrefox
If the site you are testing for is not facing the public so speed doesn't matter, you could set up a service like dynDNS and turn your work PC into a web server. (Caveat: It's lots of work and you need to secure it.) You could then have all your style sheets on your local computer, and have your on-line site reference them like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://jitendra.dyndns.org/styles/styles.css">
It's been a while since I did serious web development. Now I meet a host of brand new problems I'm no longer familiar with..
I have some .png images for various icons in my web page. What I find is that whenever I edit these images, they stop working inside a page in IE8. That is, they (usually) display OK when I first open the page, then are replaced by the placeholder icon on refresh. Sometimes, some of the icons display and others, with the same src, don't.
My image tags are nothing fancy, typically:
<img src="images/misc/smallreport.png" alt="Report" />
When I right-click an icon in the page and select "properties", protocol, type, address and size are shown as "Not Available", and dimensions are incorrect (size of the placeholder, I bet).
If I open the images directly in IE (ie. not within the page), they work just fine.
I have used Paint.NET to edit the images, but have also tried saving them with Paint.
Right now, I am working right off the hard disk (ie. not through a web server). And, oh yes, none of this happens in Google Chrome.
What's going on here?
check the path to the file is correct - can we see the tag please.
Well, we learn something new every day..
I mentioned that I'm running this directly off the harddisk? Now, it turns out the html page (which I had gotten off a coworker) was blocked "to help protect my computer", as Windows does.
This is no big surprise, lots of files I'm working with originate on other computers, and I usually don't worry much about it (except with executables, which won't run until unblocked).
It seems, however, that when IE8 loads such a blocked HTML file, its security settings adjust somehow, and - well, I can only guess at the details, but as soon as I right-clicked the HTML file, selected Properties and clicked the "unblock" button, the problem went away.
Something similar happened to me once, I tried hard to find what was wrong, then I realized I was saving (from Photoshop) the file as PSD but with extension .png. Make sure you're not doing the same.
Also:
Clear temporary Internet files
Verify that the Show Pictures option has not been turned off
Make sure that the Toggle Images.exe Web accessory is not present and disabling images
Make sure that a third-party Internet security, firewall, or cookie-blocking program is not causing the problem
Enable the Auto-Select encoding option

It might be that the website you have browse has a lack of support
for an IE browser. IE is a nightmare for all web developers & Web designers.
It might be the developer of that website didn't care for an IE display because
of IE issues. Perhaps IE is trying to create a web standard to increase their
sales and marketing strategy. That's why don't care the modern Web development standard.
Why Chrome or Firefox or Safari, it's a free anyway.
