How can I run an .htm without using IIS in the browser in Win8?
don't ask me why I want to do this, just please help me answer my question.
Open up your favorite browser, choose File | Open, point to your .HTM file, and load it.
NOTE: In Windows 8 there are two different browsers - the "metro" browser that is on the new desktop and regular IE that runs on the Windows desktop. The above will probably only work in the regular IE browser.

I have a problem at my job.
I am totally dependent on a website which must certainly date from the eighties ...
In one of the web pages, there is a link to download an excel file (xls). Let's say for example http://example.excel.xls
In this file, there are hyperlinks to other files (sometimes i think the death penalty is a good thing! ^^).
These links are relative :'( (for example \myfile.pdf)
Internet explorer, strangely, are correcting these links by transforming them in absolute path (http://example.myfile.pdf)
Other browsers (chrome, firefox, even the old edge) don't do it natively. By clicking on the link, we arrive in the local cache, where of course there arenot my files ...
I will soon have to remove IE from computers.
I had considered sending a bombshell on the administrators of this website, but afraid of legal repercussions :)
Is it possible, via settings, an addon or whatever, to make one of the browsers behave in the same way as IE?
I am very grateful for the help you will give me
You had asked,"Is it possible, via settings, an addon or whatever, to make one of the browsers behave in the same way as IE?"
I suggest you make a test with the MS Edge (Chromium) browser.
The MS Edge (Chromium) browser comes with the IE mode feature.
IE mode on Microsoft Edge makes it easy to use all of the sites your organization needs in a single browser. It uses the integrated Chromium engine for modern sites, and it uses the Trident MSHTML engine from Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) for legacy sites.
To configure IE mode, I suggest you refer to Configure IE mode policies. You can refer to the document and configure the necessary policies to enable the IE mode.
It can help you to load your legacy site in the Edge browser using the IE mode which can help you to fix the said issue.
I thought this would be simple enough but apparently not... Currently I'm just trying to make some simple HTML/JS files to test out bootstrap, and I'm leaving them on my C drive, and attempting to view them from within my browser (chrome). However, when I try, it just tells me the HTML file I'm pointing at isn't a website and that's the end of it.
What exactly am I doing wrong?
EDIT: It just says this
No webpage was found for the web address: file:///C:/.../test.html
Try starting your browser in admin mode. Open the properties window of your browser executable (C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe), go to Compatibility tab and check "Run this application as administrator"
I have tried using the Tincr Chrome Extension now on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and it still does not seem to do the Live Reloading it claims to on its website when I am editing the file in an external editor. The Tin.cr website claims:
Any CSS or JavaScript changes you make in any editor reloads in Chrome
without refreshing the whole page
To explain further, I have tried installing this extension as an unpacked extension in Chrome with Developer Mode checked under chrome://chrome/extensions/ as suggested in the Tincr documentation. I have also tried installing this extension directly through the Chrome Web Store. The effect has been the same.
In terms of setting up Tincr, I have tried opening up my file locally without a web server using file://C:/htdocs/file.html which Tincr claims in its documentation it can read automatically without needing any setup, and also I have tried opening up my file via an Apache Web Server on localhost e.g. localhost/file.html and setting up the Project Type in Tincr as Http Web Server as suggested in the documentation, but both ways have been to no avail.
In terms of editing my local file, I have used a number of different external editors, for example, Geany on Ubuntu and Titanium Studio on Windows.
After editing the file in the editor I have left the page I am editing open in my Chrome browser with the Tincr plugin setup and enabled. However, after saving my file in the editor and looking to see if it live reloads in Chrome, nothing happens. The file simply stays the same. Again, to reiterate, this is happening in both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu).
And so my question is this: has anyone successful tried using this extension with an external editor and if so could you please detail the steps to get live reload to work as I'm beginning to think this may be a bug in the extension?
I think I may have an explaination. Having a look at the google groups for Tincr, it appears Tincr does not support html file refresh, and that it can only detect changes in either css or javascript.

I am developing a Drupal site, within which is a page with an iframe, displaying an external SQL Reporting server driven site.
This iframed site is protected on by HTTP authentication. In all browsers, apart from Chrome, when the page is viewed, the browser driven login box pops up.
In Chrome (Windows & OS X), no login box appears and I get an immediate 401 error from the SQL Reporting Server. I've cleared cache's and even tried on a fresh chrome installation on a VM.
The above method works fine on the clients existing live site, which is ASP driven. Other than CMS technology, the only other obvious difference is domains.
The working live site is referencing a sub domain of itself in the iframe. The development site is referencing a completely different domain.
I've tried /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome -–allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt, which seems to make no difference.
Does Chrome have much tighter cross domain login rules? Or am I missing something else?
According to the devs at chromium, this was an intentional change to protect against phishing attacks. If you say the prod sites reference the same domain, you shouldn't have any issues.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91814
To switch the (in my mind stupid) security-feature off set Browser flag:
--allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt
In Linux close all Browser Instances and type in terminal:
chromium-browser --allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt
For Windows, Mac, Android... take a look here: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags
See http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#AllowCrossOriginAuthPrompt for the policy that can be set versus using flags.
On Windows this can be set via the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome. See http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates for more information.
i am not sure..is there any chance to open my webpage in firefox. for example i am browsing mywebsite using IE. when ever i click link of the page then automatically it will open in firefox. this option is not for all pages only for specified page.
thanks.
If this were the case, ie6 would have gone out long ago. The best you can do here, would be to check which browser they are using (get_browser if you are using php) and refuse to show content to people using browsers other than firefox.
Instead you could redirect them to a page explaining why they need to be using firefox to access your websites services (I guess a link to the firefox download page would be nice too)
Sorry, it's not possible from plain HTML to open a webpage in a different browser. You can, at most, open the page in a new window of the same browser.
However, what you ask is not completely impossible. You could write a browser plugin that handles links and runs the Firefox executable
I would seriously hope this isn't possible.
What you ask for is not possible , but you could display a warning to your users that the page works best in the desired browser.
