show html page in iphone application page by page - ios

I want to add feature like epub viewer as similar to ibooks application. So I need to show html or xml or rss feed page in iphone application page wise. What should i do now ?
I worked with webview. But it not shows with page by page. It shows within 1 page.
Let me ask that whether above feature is possible in webview or not ?
If yes then how ?
Do you have any other idea,please share with me.
Please suggest me flow for adding above feature.
It will be great if any one has idea regarding any library or source code .
Thanks

It's not an easy problem, we used some javaScript code to achieve this and called it from obj-c with -stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString(NSString)
And I wasn't able to find any libraries for that.

How to print .docx,doc,xls,csv in rails 4?

How can I print .docx,doc,xls,csv in rails 4?
I tried window.open and window.print using javascript, but each time when it invokes window.open it downloads the file.
I tried to embed that in an iframe, that also fails.
Displaying a specific type of file isn't something that relies on your application it relies on the browser. In common browsers there is no support to display the file formats you mentioned.
What you can do is implementing some document viewers based on js if they are available for your usage. For example I know there is a plugin viewer.js that provides functionality to convert office and pdf to html. That might help you out... https://developers.box.com/viewer-js-tutorial/
I tried doing this some time back and this is the blog which i refereed. Helped a great deal.
Hope this helps.

jQueryMobile - unable to link to PDF documents

I'm unable to link to PDF documents on a mobile site using jQueryMobile.
The link is opened with the jQueryMobile-effects and displays a page with the text "undefined".
Any help is appreciated!
Add data-ajax=false to your link pdf Since pdf is not supported on alot of phones you may want to explore something like this http://www.labnol.org/gadgets/ipod/read-pdf-text-email-on-ipod-mobile-phone/1929/
You may want to consider integrating in pdf.js. It seems to be an option considering some mobile devices don't directly support pdf's.

How to open a popup using Ajax

I'm using Ruby on Rails 2.3.8 and I would like to know how to open a popup using Ajax, instead of jQuery, so when I click in the link that will open it, an action is executed to load some collections and other stuff.
Thanks in advance!
First i think you are messing up some concepts here.
JQuery is a javascript framework and AJAX is a set of development methods.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29
and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jquery
I think that you mean "How do i open a link in a lightbox like screen instead of a javascript popup".
(correct me if im wrong interpreting your question :)
Please take a look at some open source tools like:
http://chriswanstrath.com/facebox/
http://fancybox.net/
And there are tons and tons of other alternatives.
Just google for "lightbox"

Video embedding from any video sharing

I have to design a web app where if you paste the link of particular video page from any video sharing site like "Youtube", "Metacafe" etc it should embed that video in the page. In simple words, what I was asked to do is that I have to embed a video from any site in my page.
Thanx in advance. :)
You can study the embed codes generated by YouTube and MetaCafe etc~ and then code something to mimic how they do it~
It seems like the better solution would be to allow people to paste the embed code generated by the site itself though. Since the hosters' conventions change.
You could Try this:
<iframe height="500" width="500" scr="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoidentificationnumber/"></iframe>
Dont do this:
<object scr="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoidentificationnumber"></object>
You will need to make sure that when you click the submit button it gets the identification number from the end and putting it in the bit specified by videoidentificationnumber (I dont know how though).

Is there any way to embed a pdf file into an html5 page?

I want to have a web page coded with HTML5, and I want to be able to put a pdf file onto this page so you can view it without having to click on any links to download it separately. Anyone know how to do this?
I want it to keep the text, images, and layout of the pdf file also. If that weren't the case I would just use an image. Thanks!
Edit: This will be hopefully going onto the ipad. So it won't support adobe. I need to just find a way to somehow make the pdf file show up in an html5 page without using a viewer. I want to keep all of its layers. It doesn't have to stay a pdf file when its on the page, I just need to find a way to transfer all of those layers there without having to do this manually with divs for each image, paragraph, etc.
I don't think this is possible without using Flash. Instead, you might want to convert the PDF to a different format (HTML for example) that can be rendered by the browser. There are tools that can do this from the command line, so making a script to do it on your site won't be too difficult.
You can use the embed tag like this:
<embed src="/path/to/your/file.pdf" />
Maybe you could convert the pdf to images on the server and display the images instead of the original pdf. As far as i know, Apache pdfbox can be used to do such a convert.
A little bit late and maybe issuu is gonna fix it soon but for now you can embed with issuu.com using an iframe and your magazine address ending in ?mode=mobile. Tested in ipad:
<iframe width="850px" height="580px" src="http://www.issuu.com/your_username/docs/your_magazine_name?mode=mobile" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I would like same mobile version loading in desktop so there is no advertising. If you know how to make the browser to think it's an ipad let me know.
This code would directly embed a pdf viewer in a webpage
<object data="path to pdf " type="application/pdf" width="100" height="100">
<p>Alternative text - include a link to the PDF!</p>
</object>
If you are using ASP.NET, this link may be of interest to you.
Browser Based PDF Viewing And Editing
Hosted entirely on your server,
activePDF Portal is an ASP.NET
WebControl that enables your users to
interactively view and modify PDF
documents from any source - adding
comments, form fields, bookmarks, and
more – directly from within a standard
web browser, without requiring any
client-side software such as Adobe
Reader or Flash, or the use of ActiveX
controls.

PDFObject looks promising, but it doesn't work on iPads at the moment.
