Hi,

does  anyone have working HTMLObject examples?  (MimeTypes, URL, Params)

Leslie,

It's actually called TPlugin now.  For PDF files, you would use this:

PDF files

MIMEType: application/pdf
URL: URL of PDF file (must be within the same domain)

M4A files (audio)

MIMEType: audio/mp4
URL: URL of M4A file (must be within the same domain)

WMV files (video)

MIMEType: video/x-ms-wmv
URL: URL of WMV file (must be within the same domain)

etc.

Here is a list of mime types:

Tim,

I can see that  in the latesT build  HTMLObject haS been renamed to  TPlugin.
It is working in FireFox but not in my Chrome based browser (ColNovo, used to be Chrome plus).

Thanks for the info.

ColNovo = CoolNovo

The TPlugin component is subject to the plugin functionality present in the
browser.  If the browser doesn't support using plugins in this manner, then
it won't work correctly.

A normal Chrome browser does work, for example.

Tim,

you are right, it is working with chrome. I thought my browser had everything chrome had plus some extra.

Cheers,
Leslie

Tim,

After installing chrome to my PC TPlugin works with my browser too. Maybe it was some  registry setting.

Something is not right with chrome when displaying pdf:  mouse left click brings up a tool bar but its buttons do not react to muse clicks. The scrollbars do not work either.

Are you sure that you're using the Adobe PDF plugin, and not the Chrome
built-in PDF viewer ?

You can check this by typing this into the address bar under Chrome:

chrome://plugins/

Make sure that the Chrome PDF Viewer is disabled, and the Adobe Acrobat PDF
plug-in is enabled and allowed.

Tim,

it is working without the Chrome pdf plugin. But it is not quite a satisfactory solution. The visitors of a webpage cannot be expected  to this.

I have noticed that there are two TPlugin declarations in different units. WebCtrls must be listed before  WebDOM in the uses clause in order to make it work.

Cheers,
Leslie
