Is there any way to add external link as an item in opf file? Or is it possible to embed external web page in ibooks? I tried to add
<item id="extlink" href="http://example.com/link.html" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" properties="online-resource"/>
as an item in opf file and i am getting "resource missing" error in ipad. Please help.
All the assets of an EPUB must be contained inside the EPUB container.
The only exceptions are for audio/video files (see e.g. http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/2013/05/linking-to-external-video-and-audio-in.html )
Also note that the correct property is remote-resources, not online-resource (see http://www.idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-publications-20110523.html#sec-resource-locations )
You can still add links to the XHTML pages inside the EPUB, pointing to your external page. If clicked, the system browser will be triggered and it will load them (if an Internet connection is available).

I am trying to build a desktop app that opens gmail in a webview using electron. In my main file I have loaded the url like this mainWindow.loadURL("https://gmail.com")
I was looking for a way to add a custom side bar in my app , but for that I will have to load my own html file in the main window. Is it possible to load gmail.com as the url but still be able to add a custom sidebar.
You will have to load your own HTML file which contains your app (this is a good idea anyway). There, you can render the side bar.
And you can load gmail (or any other web site) in a <webview> tag, which is a little bit like an iframe, only safer:

In an Electron application, what is the standard way to navigate to different pages / locations when a link is clicked?
I tried creating
<a href="/profile.html>profile</a>
and an HTML file named profile.html, but clicking the link just takes my app to a blank page.
What is actually happening when the link is clicked & what is the right way to do basic links?
Just use a relative link - this will work (note no slash at the beginning):
profile
This is because Electron uses local file:// URLs which map to your file system. If you link to /profile.html that will be looking for the file in the root of your drive, and you probably want it to be loading the file from the same directory instead.
Also if you put the profile.html in a directory called pages you could access it like this:
profile
Electron is designed to work best as a single-page application.
Clicking a link shouldn't load a new page but should manipulate the DOM to changes the contents on the same page.
If you use jquery you could use Tabs to swap between content https://jqueryui.com/tabs/
<a href="./profile.html>profile</a>
use ./{filename} to access the file in the same directory
My ASP.Net MVC app is an intranet app, and in the HTML, I put an anchor link to PDF files that are stored on our network. Chrome does not open these files in the browser if you click on the link, however if you copy the link off the webpage and make a new tab, paste the link in, it will open.
Now, both the app and the files are on the same domain so how can I get PDF to open automatically in a new tab? I have looked at the various Chrome extensions, but they don't seem to work. There must be a way to get local/network based files to open in your intranet using Chrome, please don't say I have to resort to awful Internet Explorer!
Any help much appreciated.
Have you tried to use HTML iframe tag to display the PDF?
Example:
<iframe id="frameID" style="border:1px solid #666CCC" title="PDF in an i-Frame" src="PDFData.pdf" frameborder="1" scrolling="auto" height="1100" width="850" ></iframe>
Out of date for you, but I recently solved this problem on an apache2 server on ubuntu. I believe it's a matter of security from the client browser- so that a webpage can't open client files maliciously
What solution was
mount the network share drive on my web server
html point to pdf inside the mounted drive
(Optional on Apache) use a .htaccess rule to prevent folder indexing (listing all files/folder)
therefore the webpage was opening its own file, not the clients; so firefox/chrome/et al will allow this to happen
The fix should be in your mvc project . Just make sure the action returns FileStreamResult . example:
return new FileStreamResult(new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open), MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(filePath));
I don't understand how to navigate through an app with multiple .html files. All the examples that I've found have only one html file.
I have two files in my app :
index.html
artist.html
In my index.html, I use a Text, which works but does not add a state in the history.
From what I have read in the documentation, I should use a link like spotify:app:$APPNAME:arg. But I can't manage to make a link like this works to navigate from an html file to another. And because I can only find apps with one html, I'm wondering if all the existing apps only show and hide parts of an html file to simulate the navigation.
You can link internal with:
sp://appname/filename.ext
link to spotify:app:appname:test.
At this point in index.html you can redirect to the page you want (I.e. test.html) using:
location.href=sp.core.getArguments() + '.html'
The initial call to spotify:app:appname:test will be in the history.
Using the JQTouch library, usely links like the following ... should open the new page in the SAME window. That works fine when I go to the site using Safari BUT when I launch the site from the home saved icon, it opens a fullscreen site and on the first link it opens a NEW Safari window. How can I make it stay in the same original fullscreen window?
You have to set the target to _webapp. E.g:
<li class="arrow">Some Page</li>
and then it will load on the same page.
You need to look into manifest files.
The manifest file declares what files (html, javascript, css, jpgs etc.) that the iPhone should cache in order to make a webapp work offline. A part of the manifest file is used to declare which URLs are OK to use when in full screen (webapp) mode.
Specifically look at NETWORK in manifest files.
Example:
NETWORK:
*
This should allow access to any URL you like, and stay in webapp mode.
Alternatively use target="_self" - I haven't seen target="_webapp" anywhere.

One solution I found here is to change the way you write your links for a mobile app. Rather than a href='link.url' you'd write a href="javascript.window.location.href='link.url'"
Dislaimer: I haven't personally tried this yet, so I can't guarantee it will work. But logically, it does make sense.
Using target="_webapp" works only if you remove the rel="external", you cannot have both.
