Hi all,
I am newbie to Ruby and web programming as well.
My show.rhtml is like,
.
..
...
<% require ''win32ole'' %>
<% ie = WIN32OLE.new(''InternetExplorer.Application'') %>
<% ie.visible = true %>
<% ie.gohome %>
...
..
.
At server, when I access http://.../show it''ll open Iexplorer.exe as
expected,
but when I access same from different m/c it opens Iexplorer.exe at
server only,
obviously. How can open it on client side?
Please help me out.
Thanks

This is especially true for starting other applications. Consider this: <% ´format d:´ %> ;) Second, chances are high that the client does not have ruby installed... ;) Third, rhtml templates parse every bit of ruby inside your template, so it will only be executed on your side. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks, So, you want say that, if I want to open a PDF file stored on server, I need to download it first, and then open. How can open a PDF/Document in browser from client m/c?

> How can open a PDF/Document in browser from client m/c? > Regards,try opening the pdf file as binary data and send it with the ''send_data'' function to the browser. http://railsapi.org/send_data something like that should do the trick: mime_type = ''application/pdf'' filename = ''filename'' extension = ''pdf'' send_data(function_to_get_the_pdf_as_binary, :filename => "#{filename}.#{extension}", :type => mime_type, :disposition => ''inline'') calling this function should send the pdf to the browser. than you have a sercer side stored pdf opened on client. don''t know if there''s a better way. never used server stored pdf''s with RoR. so perhaps somebody else can tell you a better way. regards --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

And, besides the obvious security problems involved in that, you would be making your web based application platform specific. That''s never a good thing.
