I have a jsp page. The code is as follows. It is not opening word template. The code looks ok but when I run it from the application it doesn't open the word. I have enabled ActiveX control options in Internet explore. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

The code is as follows.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script>
function printClicked () {
document.mainForm.textfield.focus();
document.mainForm.textfield.select();
Copied = document.mainForm.textfield.createTextRange();
Copied.execCommand("Copy");
var objWord = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
if (objWord != null)
{
objWord.visible = true;
objWord.Documents.Open(" objWord.Selection.Paste();
}
}
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<table width="760" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="button" name="Button2" value="Print" onClick="printclicked()">
</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Well, I see two things wrong so far. In your button you have printclicked(), but your function is printClicked(). JavaScript is case sensitive. Also, your form name is "form1", but you are referring to a form named "mainForm" in your code.

Thanks for the reply. After I corrected your point outs it is still not opening the Word Application. It works fine upto copy command. any idea?

When I applied Adam's changes to your original code, it worked fine. The only other change I made was the path to the Word document to open. I changed this:

Code: 
objWord.Documents.Open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://Myserver/App/LP.dot");[/URL]

to this:

Code: 
objWord.Documents.Open("file:///C:/test.doc");

And it worked fine.

Do you actually have Word on your system? Do you have your security settings to allow ActiveX controls to run (or at least prompt you to run them)?

Hope this helps,
Dan

No luck. Yes I have word installed on local and Tomcat server. I have security settings to allow ActiveX controls to run. When I run from localhost it is opening Word but not from the the application. Now I get error saying word cannot open the existing "

after double quotes some square box appears

Thanks for reply

I apologize for asking this simple question, but is your document in the right place on the server? If you type the URL of the document you want to open in the address bar of your browser, you get prompted to download it, right?
