How to lauch an image editor when click on an image link ?

Wlad

Hi,
Does anybody knows how to make the browser lauch an external image
editor (i.e. Photoshop) when the user clicks on a link like this :
<a href= "http://localhost/images/200411081456170 .Nenuphars.jpg" >Image</a>
The same application can be launched for any image link.
Thank you.

It's up to the user to decide to launch a program to open images. You can't
control that. It's a setting in the registry for Windows. I have no clue what
it is for Mac, Unix, Linux, etc.

You can't because you have no idea what software a user has installed,
and even if you did, you have no right to select which one the user
wants, nor whether they actually want to edit the image. Just ask the
user to save the image and launch their own editor.

Secondly, that URI is useless for anyone but you because it's referring
to the user's local machine. If you were to publish a page on the web
containing a URI like that, the image would only show if the user had a
web server set up, and had an image with that exact file name and path.
The chances of that are slim, and I suspect that even if there were,
the browser would also have security features to prevent web sites
acessing the localhost like that, so that an author can't arbitarily
run/access a users files.

Opening image in new window without padding

by: D. Alvarado | last post by:

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

Access not showing image on the form just the filename

by: needin4mation | last post by:

Hi, I have an Access 2002 - 2003 database. I am using Access 2003. Whenever I link an image all it shows is the filename. Not the image. Other versions of Access can link the image just fine. The properties look the same whether I use XP or 2003 versions of Office. If I take an earlier version of Access and link the image, it puts the image. I can also see the image in 2003. If I link the image using 2003 it only shows the filename....

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
