Hi folks,
tiny question about Opera, is there a way to avoid using XML, or better, switch to HTML when XML is not decoded properly?
Mainly affects Facebook in full site, but also youtube.com and other flash filled sites
cheers

If I put in an URL which ends .jpg rather than gives a webpage address, PIE asks me if I want to download the image and open it after downloading.
What I actually want to do is VIEW the image, without having to click "Yes" and then having to wait while it fires up the Picture Viewer.
Can I change this behaviour?
Can nobody help?
I tried exactly the same thing on an Orange E200 (very old Smartphone!) and it works perfectly - image displays straight away in the browser, no prompt for "download and open file".
I just want to be able to see the jpg directly in PIE, and refresh if I want. Easiest way of viewing my webcam!
timetex - don't know about the specific question, but why not just knock up a tiny bit of html just holding the jpg <img> and address. That way, you refresh the html page, not the jpg? This will also allow you to resize it to fit your screen etc as well.

Good suggestion, vijay, and if it was a computer generating the jpg, or I had control over it, that would be the first thing I'd look at.
However, its a camera. To be specific, an IP Network Camera I've got setup on my home network. It has its own built in webserver and makes use of an ActiveX plugin to "stream" video over http:// connection - so using my desktop PC, I just put the IP address of my router (or my domain name) into the browser, and the ActiveX / WebCam does the rest.
However, PIE will not accept the stream.
I've found a website detailing how to access specific data from the camera using either cgi commands or this function I'm using - the ability to view a single jpg image using a http://xxx.yyy.zzz/CamImg.jpg address.
As I said, this works fine on my Orange E200, but not in PIE on the MDA Pro. Annoying.
I guess I could get the camera to FTP the image to my hosted webspace and generate some HTML to view it there, but this just seems a silly way to do it, and rather wasteful of my bandwidth, as it would have to keep sending regular FTP just in case I wanted to view it (permanently overwriting the same filename every second or so) whereas if I connect directly to the camera, I automatically get the current image.
I could always stick a html file on my webspace and have THAT load the image.... hmm, I guess that could work?

This is something I really need !
Does anyone know if there are any chance to
display active X content ??
I'm not sure I understand
Surely the jpg must have an address that you're typing into PIE. In notepad on your PC (or pocket word etc if you're feeling adverturous) just knock together some html to display the image.
The html page will exist on your PDA, eg \storage\VJTestPage.html, and you just load that every time you want to see the updated jpg from your camera:
Paste this into notepad and change the urls for your jpg
Code:
<html><head>
[url="http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2005/20051012l.jpg"][img]http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2005/20051012l.jpg[/img][/url]
</head></html>
This assumes of course that the jpg's url is static, ie doesn't change.

Like an absolute charm...
Thats a nice workaround Vijay, to be sure.
But it fails to address the fundamental problem that is PIE's failure to view image files rather than download them.
Is there no way to alter a setting in PIE to VIEW jpgs rather than download them? The reason it's sooo irritating is that we don't want to keep all the images we want to view, eg browsing a forum thread with a frinds holiday photos in, you don't want to keep the photos, just see them!
Why can't it do this?
Do all the other pocket browers do this? I haven't tried Opera, and minimo is less use than a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory!
Has anyone found a way round this?
you might try using the search button of the forum. It might help.

How do you think I found this thread??
Do you mean there actually IS a way to get PIE to do this? (and if so - why does searching for "Images AND pie" not get to it?)
If you're going to take the effort to post an answer then it may as well be a useful one.
what about "jpg and pie" :wink:

Thank You hugo.
Good morning everyone,
I hope your all well.
I have been updating various bits and peices up on my web site recently, just adding a blog and some pics/files for download.
I am finding that I am using my PC to edit my web pages and then uploading from my PC or my PPC.
I have never even tried to create a .txt file on my PPC before - I have just used pocket word in the past if I needed to do any typing on the go which seems to only use the pocket word format.
Does anyone know of any good HTML editors or just plain text editors that you would reccomend for this platform?
I am using a HTC Advantage running WM6.
I really want to be able to open and edit .htm/.html on the go and then upload direct to my web site.
Total Commander seems to connect up to my site ok so I can upload. - Resco explorer seems to fail to authenticate correctly
Just need a good HTML editor.
Anyone help?
Many thanks all.
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/notepad.shtml ?
ive tried a few including the only php editor and testor (which doesnt work very well but when it does only works for basic php commands anyway)
this is the current HTML editor im using although it does have a few issues and will error from time to time but still one of the more decent as it allows for previews inside the application.
its called pocket html available from here... http://www.isquaredsoftware.com/
works otherwise fine on the hermes (WM5)
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, so please don't flame me .
So I'm making a flash lite diamond plugin. So far there's only a menu and some stuff on the weather page (more on that later). I've run into a roadblock. Since I usually program in C++, I'm not very good with actionscript. So I have two questions:
- How do you get data from the internet? (This is why the weather page doesn't have any data. I made an XML parser to read from yahoo weather rss, but I can't get the data!)
- How do you access system data, like alarms, calendar, etc. from flash? Is this even possible without using MortScript or a program that feeds flash this data?
I've posted what I have right now. Please reply with comments or questions.

twolf had the same problem doing exactly the same thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403706
good luck!
well, i used animated today to read a html that the tsk creates called a2tk.htm that has the a2tk.swf, the swf in the html used the connection available, but never creates one, if you have sync with your pc it uses that net conecction, if you use any program to open the gprs/3g connection, the flash then uses it without a problem.
relative to registry values, as far as I know the only flash lite commands are open exes and send calls/sms but doesnt read much more.
it can read the battery and signal status also.
What you need is a second utility that reads the registry values you need and creates a xml with them (every x seconds).
If you need the source code for my wetaher app I can post it here.
Hi guys
This is my first post in XDA, but I've been browsing the site for a while and have found a whole pile of useful tweaks & apps.
However, I've got a Touch Pro 2 (unbranded) and was wondering if there's a way to configure the Zoom Slider when viewing docs, excel files and emails etc to go in more than one zoom level. I'm assuming of course that my device is working as it should, which it appears to, as in Opera it will do a progressive zoom as you slide, but this is not the case in docs etc?
Does anyone know of a reg hack or similar for this?
Any help is much appreciated
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578420
haven't heard of anything but this is an app says that it changes the use of the zoom bar haven't tried it myself but sounds promising may find it helpful.
Yeah, I had seen that one from doing some searching, but from what I saw on it, it justs adds more functions to the slider as opposed to tweaking existing functions.
I may give it a try anyway.
Thanks for your reply
Hi,
First, sorry if this question has already been asked ! I've searched but couldn't find a similar thread. (Sorry for my noobism and my English mistakes as well !)
I have a kind of problem with online images display.
I often open in my browser (so far on my desktop computer), "large" images (wallpapers for all resolutions, weighing not over 2.5Mo), that I need to visualize not resized. When I reproduce this on my brand new TF101, here is what happens, depending on the browser :
- Stock Browser : the image is automatically downloaded, I can't open it in the browser itself
- Firefox : the image opens in a new tab correctly, but resized to my resolution, and when I double-tap the size increases over 100%
- Dolphin HD & Opera Mini : some images open the same way as in firefox, others are downloaded the same way as with the stock browser, and I didn't find a pattern in this behavior...
So I'm looking for a browser or a setting that would allow me to view non-resized images in a new tab. I didn't suspect it would get so difficult !
Thanks in advance !

Opera mini is the wrong one for you: since it compress the data, the images will be always sub optimal. Try Opera mobile

Thanks a lot ! This version of the browser displays the images perfectly !
Opera is a great browser! I use it on my desktop and all my devices.
