Liveweb Plugin for Powerpoint: Support for HTML5 Canvas? - javascript

I'm thinking of using the Liveweb plugin for Powerpoint, to embed a web page in a Powerpoint presentation.
Does Liveweb support HTML5 Canvas? Does it support Javascript?
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

Shyam Pillai's LiveWeb? It simply embeds an instance of the browser control into your presentation. It doesn't support any web technologies ... just turns the browser loose on them, so it'll depend on the MSIE version in place and what it supports and your Internet settings (ie, whether javascript is disabled or not).
Or the short version: Can't answer that. Try it for yourself and see. ;-)

So far it doesn't seem to be working. I can access a web page from inside a PowerPoint slide show. I can use the navigation on the page and navigate around the site. But when I go to a page that uses HTML5 Canvas, the Canvas objects don't yet appear.

How to enable the swf file autoplay on the mobile version of wordpress

I embedded the swf file on my wp page.(https://www.pacifictintlv.com/mobile).
But when viewing on mobile, it doesn`t work.
Can we just fix it so that it will automatically forward them to the Flash download link in case they don't have Flash enabled/installed or is there another fix for this?
There is no Flash download link. Flash hasn't been supported on Android for over five years and has famously never been supported on iPhone. Flash itself will reach end of life in 2020. There are ways for users to run Flash if they really want to, but it's too much to expect the average visitor to jump through those hoops.
Why are you using Flash at all? That page could easily be implemented with Javascript, and be far more accessible in the process.

Embedding .rh 3d models in html for interactive display

I have to embed the 3D models (format: right hemisphere) in the HTML page (WebHelp). The 3D player has to be embedded in the page/browser, rather than being a pop-up page.
In other words, to act like a YouTube video player embedded in the HTML page, showing a lightweight splash screen or multimedia thumbnail, that you can turn into full screen.
I am not able to follow on how to use the SAP VisualEnterpriseViewer to accomplish this. Otherwise, can we use javascript for this purpose? I know that jsc3d does not support .rh format yet.
Please help.
Thanks
No one can support .rh format, except RH/SAP. It is a closed, proprietary format. And forget about html5, canvas, webgl etc. These are too open, SAP / RH have traditionally created data silos rather than working off of open standards.
SAP VEV , formerly DeepView, does have a complete JS interface. The viewer doesn't have to be a popup. Look in the docs, you can embed the viewer in a page, and disable all the menus etc through appropriate javascript calls. The docs are distributed with the viewer sdk, however it is getting rather hard to come by now. Also helpful, and included with the docs, are examples.

Open HTML5 window from non-HTML5 window in IE (Internet Explorer)

We have a thin client business app, and we are heading to use HTML5 on client side (first only for specific tasks, like some SVG drag'n'drop UI and Canvas image generating).
I know, I can't call a HTML5 page in an iframe on a non-HTML5 page in Internet Explorer, because it will displayed as non-HTML5 page, like its parent.
I tought i can call it to a new window, via javascript.
But it isn't work too.
In the base app there is an
open.window('HTML5.asp','_blank')
function, where the HTML5.asp uses SVG and Canvas. And yes, it's tested, it's works, when called from a HTML5 environment.
There are any solution or workaround to make it work?
Thank you guys!
UPDATE
Thank you for your help, finally i found the mistake.
I've tried to create a simplified code for you, but i couldn't reproduce the bug, so i went over our algorithm again, first block by block, then line by line.
We have a function dictonary, what should be the same in all systems, but it doesn't :)
And i've used a formatting function from there, and the HTML5 page has crased, due to it.
Thank you, again :)
That's quite a coincidence: I was just, by chance, reading about the Google Chrome Frame IE plugin that apparently allows you to use Webkit and the V8 JS engine in IE.
In the web page, we add the tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1" />
(Of course, Chrome Frame needs to be installed. If it's not, perhaps a redirection to an installer might be an option...)
As I said, I just happened to be reading about this a few minutes before I saw your question, so I don't know if this would be of any use to you (nor do I have experience using it).
Good luck!

How does the Chrome Web Store page work?

There are some oddities in the Chrome Web Store:
It opens dialogs navigating to new URLs
while this happens the screen doesn't flash
and the original page is still shown behind the dialog with the same items and scroll position
I have a background in HTML4 where I couldn't do this and I don't know if it is possible to do the same in HTML5.
My guess is that this behavior is because the Chrome browser has special behavior when handling its store.
It uses the new HTML5 history.pushState(); method, as demoed here and explained here.
Read about jQuery, Dojo, MooTools, YUI, script.aculo.us, etc.
Javascript is pretty powerful these days, and can be used to do some advanced stuff in your browser. For diaglogs, you can look at things like DOMWindow, FancyBox, etc. You can place an entirely separate web page into the pop-up dialog.
This StackOverflow question gathered some other suggestions too. There are many alternatives.

How can i make custom buttons to control the <embed>?

Im trying to play some sound(mp3) in my browser. Found <embed> but the default controllers (pause button, volume and timeslider) aint really pretty so what im wondering is how i could control it with some jquery buttons?
i would then hide the embed and call controls with jquery and the embed tags id.
Is this possible, and where could i find a overview of that?
Actually you can do this better with html5 (less load from CPU, but less crossbrowser too)
(google it: custom html5 audio player)
but if you want flash behind the scenes, better go with jPlayer :

I agree with Fusion on that fact that HTML5 is probably the easiest way to go with the best result. However what are you going to do with the non-HTML5 compliant browsers? What about mobile?
My suggestion would be to use the HTML5 solution with compliant browsers, and a jQuery fall back solution for non-HTML5 browsers. That way the users with the most current technology get the best solution, but you don't leave everyone else behind.
jQuery has a wonderful ability to modify DOM so swapping out files in the tag would not be an issue. Check out this sound plugin ( http://plugins.jquery.com/project/sound_plugin ) and see if that fits your need.
