I've been playing with Saxon-CE_1.1 over the last few days and have managed to create a little application that allows users to classify pictures according to a data dictionary using a select dialog. All was going really well until I tried to use the result-document() function in it's "classic" way, to create a new file in the file system containing the choices the user has made.
XML Quire is returing with a severe error stating:
XpathException in mode: '{http:saxonica.com/ns/interactiveXSLT}onclick' event: [object MouseEvent]: Expected '?select=' ir '#' at start of result document href found "filename.xml
This error seems, to me, to be stating that I must pipe the results back into the HTML using # or ?select/
Is it still possible to create "external" output using SaxonCE? If so how can I accomplish the task.
Until recently it has not been possible to read or write files in the local client machine from Javascript code running in the browser, and if Javascript can't do it, then Saxon-CE can't do it either.
This may change soon with the HTML5 FileSystem API, but as far as I'm aware support for this is still very patchy. When it appears to be more stable and widespread, we can certainly look at implementing both doc() and xsl:result-document to access local filestore (or indeed, implementing the EXPath file module).

I'm currently doing Invoicing and Printing setup on a SAP demo system. I've managed to create Smart Forms based on the standard ones. The problem starts with printing using FPCOPARA transaction and LP01 as Output device. I was able to generate a spool (was able to view it as well) but not printed (no actual file).
I just want to have a file from that Smart Form stored in AL11 and be able to archive it later on. Do you have idea on how can I proceed with this?
Thanks
We actually have an inhouse-developed program for this exact task. I don't have permission to publish the sourcecode of the program, but it involves:
Reading the list of spool requests from database table TSP01
Using the function module RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES to obtain the type of the spool request.
Calling the function modules CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF or CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, depending on the type determined by the previous function module. They return a table containing the content of the spool request in the PDF format.
Writing the table returned by the previous function modules to a file using the ABAP statements OPEN DATASET and TRANSFER
I am currently trying to figure out an issue with an Application Protocol Handler I've created. Following the directions listed on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), I was able to register my application, PDF Annotator, to open via a URL. The issue I am experiencing is when I try to pass a parameter along with the call. The application will open, but the file parameter that gets passed is not opening within the application.
My registry key is verbatim as dictated by MSDN. My HTML code is as follows:
PDFAnnotator:C:\path\to\file\file.pdf
The way I understood the protocol handler is it takes the URL and tries to launch it via the command line. That being said, I am able to open my pdf file in PDFAnnotator with following command in the prompt:
PDFAnnotator.exe C:\path\to\file\file.pdf
I've tried formatting the file path in the HTML differently thinking that would be the issue too. Has anyone else come across this issue or something similar?
Obligatory Update for future generations (http://xkcd.com/979/):
The reason I was doing this is because half of the PDFs my application handled would be editable while the other half were read-only. I was trying to keep the read-only ones in browser with the Acrobat plugin (I'm targeting chrome only) while the protocol would allow me to set the links of the editable ones to open with Annotator. I tried, on whim, to reverse this (setting the default to Annotator and creating a protocol for Acrobat). I did this, first by trying Acrobat's URI Scheme (acrobat://), which didn't work outside of opening Acrobat. Then, I tried creating a protocol for Acrobat. When that fired off, it gave me an error stating the path was wrong for the file name, path name, or volume. So, progress? I'm giving up on this for now as other priorities have come up, but hopefully this helps somebody down the road.
I am using appfile:/. The path is correct; if I put it on screen and copy-paste it in the explorer it links to the image.
Is there anything else I need to do?
UPDATED I have updated the library, now is more easy to use. Can you test it?
I am the author of the StageWebViewBridge class. There is a known problem if you are using Android. Anyway, I have a working solution I will update the next week.
If the problem is not in Android, then send me some code.
I am also confused on how to access locally packaged assets. I put them in the HTML folder as requested and when I send a signal to the StageWebViewBridge to set the .src attribute of a video I'm not sure how to do it.
Without StageWebViewBridge and entirely in a website I can just reference the file for a video object via JavaScript directly e.g. swvRef.src = 'file.mp4';. This works perfectly fine. When I try to tell flash to send a call via StageWebViewBridge it does receive the call to the StageWebView (I have JavaScript reporting it). However when I try to set the .src of a video object I can't figure out the correct path.
The documentation says to put all things in a 'html' folder. I did so. No reference to a .src of 'html/a.mp4' or 'a.mp4' or 'htmlCache/a.mp4' ever makes the new javascript html5 video class work.
Bridge otherwise is working perfectly sending AS->JS and JS->AS. I'm just looking for info on how to reference packaged files. I want to play a video I put in the /html folder and so far, I just can't do it.
Got the same issue and fixed it with "appfile:/"
Why do you require "appfile:/ for a local html file ?
If the treated html/js/css is local and asset is relative (aka ../ or no http://) you should treat them as "appfile:/" ?
If the treated file is distant you do not have to handle assets ?
Is there a best practice to work with "appfile:/" ?
Actually I debug my html/js/css game in the browser but if I use appfile:/ it will no longer works. I will have to handle 2 behaviors.
I am trying to create an application to print documents over the web. I have created my document, and made a web page with a meta refresh tag, along the lines of this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;http://example.com/download.epl2" />
I specify that the document has a content-type of application/x-epl2, and I have associated .epl2 files on my computer with a program that silently sends them to the printer.
I have put the website into my trusted sites zone.
Currently Internet Explorer pops up the "Open, Save, Cancel" dialog box with no option to automatically open the file.
Is there a setting in IE6/7/8 that I can use to have IE just open the file without prompting?
EDIT
The actual content of the file will differ based on the job, but essentially it is text that follows the Eltron Programming Language.
EDIT
I have accomplished this in both Chrome and Firefox by choosing "Automatically Open Files Of This Type From Now On"
EDIT
The machines this program will be used on will effectively be kiosks that are limited to only accessing my website from their web browsers, so I'm not worried about rogue websites sending documents to my printers.
EDIT
I am using PHP to generate the documents and HTML on the server side, though I expect the solution to be language agnostic.
I would expect that not to be possible, because then you could stumble onto a site that automatically loads and prints a 5000 page document or something, which would not be good.
If you always had a secret desire to develop a custom URL protocol (I know I do), this might be a good excuse to do it. ;-)

There are 1-2 prompts when opening such a link for the first time in IE, but you can choose to automatically open them after that.
I would use javascript to make this happen.
Javascript Window Open
EDIT
Since you have control of the windows box you could use an automate script process to interact with the print window.
autoit3: ControlClick
Write a small utility program that does nothing but send the file passed to it on the command-line to the default system printer.
Then, edit the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to associate this program with the .epl2 filetype.
I don't have time to investigate it for You, but there were lots of exploits that could be helpful. Using ie6 without certain fixes seems helpful.
Also there should be an option called "Automatic prompting for file downloads". I use Linux nowadays so I can't chceck if it helps. I found it in some docs.
I'm on a Mac at the moment, but if this is possible in IE I would imagine this page holds the answer to it (or at least hints at it) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883255
I believe what you're looking for is a setting in Windows, not IE:
Microsoft Support: Not Prompted to Specify Download Folder for File
Try using an older version of IE. Security was looser in the older versions and since it's a non-issue, this could be the quickest solution.
Wondered if anybody knows how customizable Flash swf files are made, where there appears to be a template swf that the user can then input some changes (eg text or image) and receives a newly-compiled swf file with their changes.
Some examples:
- http://flashfreezer.com/landingconfetti/index.html
Constraints:
- user receives a single output swf file that can be played with all their changes included. ie there is no reading from an xml file, or using Flashvars.
Been trying different things for a few weeks with no luck!
There are a number of ways, but generally the most common is to either use a SWF generating library (like PHP's) or through server-side compiling.
Normally, this will be a custom or proprietary library which uses the same language that the serve is running (and there are open-source libraries for this in PHP, Perl, Python, Java, C++... etc). The SWF is generated and served up with the appropriate headers so that the browser knows how to re-direct it. Often this will involve a pre-defined template which is then modified slightly for the new input. Only occasionally does this involve the manipulation of pre-generated SWF directly.
The other option is to have a command line call to the Flash IDE or the Flex compiler (and, technically, this can work for CS3 and CS4, though in a very nasty and hackish way) to generate a new version of the SWF on the fly. This is often slower, but it will generally yield a more finished feel to a product.
You could try Swiffotron. It can modify SWF files and do text replace type things on both text elements and in compiled actionscript.
Here's a swiffotron xml job file that does some text replacing.
And here's a swiffotron XML job file that modifies instances on the stage.
I didn't check the site, but the only way I can think of is to read the requirement details through flash (this can be done through plain html also) and then generate the AS files from their templates and compile them at the server side (using mxmlc or other compilers) and give back the SWF.
I get the impression that you're looking for SwfMill. SwfMill creates a swf based on an XML file that you create/define. You could use SwfMill on the server to generate a swf based on user input.
