Open file on none default application (browser) - actionscript

How do you check what is the default browser to open a html file, and open it with another browser? I'm having security issues on Chrome locally, but luckily the application I'm creating allowed me to run an air application 1st. So I am wondering could there be any work around for me to open the file in other browser other than Chrome?

Do PhoneGap/Cordova Apps run under HTTP?

I'm coming behind another developer who built a PhoneGap/Cordova HTML 5 application, currently only targeting IOS. Admittedly, I have zero experience with Cordova and hybrid mobile apps.
I can open up the XCode IDE and run the application and I can see the web page (application) load up in the iPad emulator, so long as I have his Node.js application running.
I guess I'm confused about the context in which the actual index.html that makes up the HTML 5 application runs. Does it run on the iPad under a mini web server (http://local or http://localhost) or does the index.html run on a file system path (something like file://path-to-file/index.html)?
I've used Icenium (Telerik AppBuilder) and created an empty project for which I copied all the HTML 5 code into and ran it. Upon inspecting/debugging the page in the emulator, I see that the page is being served up with a base URL of http://local.
Lastly, I simply tried opening the index.html by double-clicking it and running it in the browser (file:///...builds/ios/www/index.html), and the application didn't work
In summary, as long as I run the website in an emulator, the application loads and runs file, but it won't run loading it from the file system.
My assumption is the scripts are expecting an http base URL and the file:/// url is throwing it off. Does this sounds like a reasonable explanation?
Do Cordova apps run the HTML 5 apps under HTTP?
Thank you.
they run on a file system path (something like file://path-to-file/index.html)
if you are using something from the phonegap API it won't work on a desktop browser

Do iPhone Offline Web Apps and Safari share the same HTML5 Application Cache?

I have a web app that is intended for use as an iOS offline web app. A key feature of the app is that users can download files with extensions like .doc, .ppt, .pdf, etc. To make these available offline, I am making entries for any such files in a cache manifest.
One other caveat: the most user-friendly way I could get these files to open is to jump out of the offline web app and into Safari to actually open the file. This way, I get the "Open in {{Application}}" options that Safari provides. There seems to be some sort of disconnect during this switch from the offline web app to Safari.
Assuming a clean slate:
I've gone and wiped all the data for this site using Settings->Safari->Advanced.
I launch the offline web app while connected to the server (So we're in online mode.)
The application updates the cache successfully.
I close the web app and disconnect from the server.
I relaunch the app and all of the navigation chrome works, so we know the cache is functioning properly.
I click the link to open a file that needs Safari, so iOS switches to Safari and goes to the file's URL.
Safari says "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found."
So, it seems the this application cache is accessible from the offline web app, but not Safari? Can anyone verify this?
And then going forward, if that is in fact the case: any ideas for a better way to do it? Thanks!
iOS Safari work same as Safari does. But I assumed that your iOS Safari doesn't load successfully, you know, the network of iPhone isn't fast as your PC. You must attach handlers to determine when your offline data is loaded successfully.
Check it out: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/appcache/beginner/ and try to use JS to check status of ApplicationCache.
