xPage launched in Notes Client 853 FP5 on win7 displayed as html web pages, no error though - xpages

The xPage app was developed and compiled using 851 designer by someone else...
Were suppose to be used inside Notes Client.
Only two of my users when they open the xpage app in the Notes Client 853FP5 standard config on win7 everything displays and no error however it wasn't in xpage UI, instead it looks like some domino view being loaded in a web browser. but all xpage buttons and links are working and displayed. Just the not xpage UI.
If I try to load the app in a web browser, all seems to load fine.
Any ideas? as no other user has got the same issue. If it is an issue with win7, then they are all on win7 though, Or any suggestions in terms of where to start from to debug this issue?
Many thanks

You mention that it's not the "xpage UI" but that "xpage buttons and links are working". It sounds like a caching issue for the CSS files. Try the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-Delete to clear the local cache.

Getting emulated mobile view of a temporarily changed html page

I am using a chrome extension to temporarily change layout of a Google search webpage. I am changing heading and description of the Advertisements displayed. This part works fine.
Next, I need to take screenshot of desktop, tablet and mobile views. getting desktop view is pretty straight. However, for tab/mobile view if I uses any of mobile emulator, or dev console, they refresh the html page before providing the mobile/tab emulation. This results in loosing the html page changes that were done by the chrome extension.
Is there are way to use mobile emulation without reloading/refreshing the page, so that the changes done in html are intact even in tables/mobile views.
I got the answer !
In Dev console, we have the option device toggle(Ctrl+Shift+M)
This way, temporary DOM changes done in desktop view were intact in mobile view as well.

Browser Page looks messy

To develop websites I use domino designer v9.01 with OpenNTF Bootstrap extension library v14. I am new to IBM domino so have mercy …
The trouble I have is : While previewing XPage apps in Notes all controls, views etc. are there and looks as expected. But when I preview same XPage apps in a web browser (newest FireFox, newest Microsoft Edge) I get messy results. To be more specific, the amount of controls, views, etc. are there and they also work. But their expected design is messy. I cannot describe it better because I have never seen such pages before.
Finally the question is : Why is the presentation of XPage apps in Notes perfect while in a web browser not ?
UPDATE
Here are 2 screenshots to visualize the problem. First screenshot is from Notes showing expected UI. Second screenshot is from FireFox browser showing non-expected UI which i call "messy". The content you see is a simple example from a tutorial. So do not wonder about that.
The Extension Library plugin will also need to be installed on the server as well as into Domino Designer. The usual process for this is using an UpdateSite database, as documented here http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=XPages+Extensibility+API#action=openDocument&res_title=XPages_Extension_Library_Deployment&content=apicontent

custom ascx control not working with Umbraco 7

I have a simple ascx contact us control that sends an email.
I have been using it over time to various umbraco websites running versions from 4 up to 6.1.5 and it has always worked fine. I have been also tried it with various versions of .NET without problems.
This time I updated it to .NET 4.5 and tested it and then added it in an Umbraco 7 project. It renders fine but when the submit button is pressed the page reloads without a postback and nothing happens.
There is no error message in the logs, there is no activity from the form.
The code is such that if there is an error that would be handled and shown on the screen after a postback but the form simply reloads.
I have tried all the usual checks and I can't find absolutely nothing wrong with it. Can anyone suggest why the control wouldn't work on Umbraco 7 or how to find the error that causes a full page refresh?
Thank you
You can't use usercontrols in MVC views. If you want to use usercontrols still then switch the render engine back to Webforms in umbracoSettings.config, recycle your app pool and recreate all your templates as masterpages. However, I'd advise you to redo the form in MVC. Google: SurfaceController contact form

How to open link from client integrated browser in user's default browser?

Scenario:
Sidebar widget in Lotus Notes client opens XPage from URL configured by widget wizard. This works very well (SSO, speed). Some links in that XPage point to 3rd party web application, which requires much more space. So links have target property set to "_blank" to open in new window, which is still integrated browser of Lotus Notes client. This browser is somewhat crippled, lacks navigation controls, address bar, bookmarks and so on. Users want to launch such link in default browser (IE, FF). This is not XPiNC setup. Browser setting in Location document seems to be ignored.
Question:
How to launch link from Notes browser in another browser?
Similar questions posted at this site claim it is not possible with standard browser. I expect Notes can do it.
The easiest way is to change the default browser of lotus notes :)
File->Settings-> Web browser and change it to default browser of your system.
B y the way, have a look here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21268588
Lotus Notes 8 is using IE to render the pages. So, if the version of Lotus Notes is 8, then your clients will not have any problems even when using embeeded browser of LN.

Browsing to PDF causes the PDF to be downloaded instead of displayed

I have two servers with virtually identical setups (the second that is working has been around longer than the other). For my newer server when I just put an address to a PDF in the browser it launches a download dialog. If I put the same address (just changing the server name) in the browser to my older server it displays in the browser just fine. There is no difference between the files themselves. The issue is I want to display these pdfs in an iframe on a page and the same thing is happening with the iframe (the new server launches a download instead of the pdf just showing in the frame).
Any ideas would be most appreciated!
Once I started looking into SP 2010 as being the cause I found that there is a default setting for all new 2010 sites that causes this issue. The following blog post had the most complete information on the subject:

Please indicate web server your are using
Initial suggestion may be this has to do with MIME-TYPE setup
