I am new to powershell and have figured out how to use it to create and navigate with an Internet Explorer Application Object. I am also capable of manipulating inputs and clicking buttons, but I have run into an issue with manipulating modal dialogs that come up on websites (like an error message or a file download confirmation) Is there any way to do this?
I found something from MSDN that discusses this here. Instead of using powershell, it was the same deal, but using a C# class to run the automation.

I'm developing an office add-in using office-js (not using VSTO) and I want to access the DOM loaded in the task pane from the java script function-file used in the manifest extension points .
Yes, you can access the DOM loaded in the task pane from your JavaScript function-file. Think of it as if you have two browser windows or tabs and you want to communicate between them. Since the windows don't have access to a reference for one another, postMessage isn't a good solution. One option would be to use localStorage, which triggers an event on all same-domain pages when it changes.
Yes, you can access the DOM loaded in the task pane from your JavaScript function-file. Think of it as if you have two browser windows or tabs and you want to communicate between them. One option would be to use the postMessage() API to notify the task pane and include any information you'd like.
Edit: see my other answer: this solution isn't feasible since the window reference isn't available.
I am new to Delphi and I am using RAD Studios XE8. I am developing a windows program that needs an options button. I am trying to create a form that when the button is hit, it opens the form. I am having trouble finding out how to do this or a tutorial online. Any insight would be helpful such as what I should google, or a link to a tutorial on how to do this or a walk-though video. I have a strong feeling that I may be using the wrong terminology as well. Any help would be nice.
Here is something to get you started:
Create a forms application (eg. with main form named Form1)
Create a second form (eg. with name Form2)
Create a button on first form in designer
Double click the button in the designer
IDE will open editor and create a handler for you - this is where you have to put the following code: Form2.Show();
Run and test
I would advise you try at least several tutorials like these before trying to write your own program:

I want to work with the content in the webview (eg. submit a form) - for this, I thought I could do this by embedding some scripts into it. But when I use content_scripts, I get a warning saying 'Content Scripts are allowed only in legacy packaged apps"
I searched about 'Legacy packaged apps' but couldn't find any information about that via google.
Is is possible to insert content scripts into webviews in Chrome apps? or is there any other good alternative solution to get this.
thanks.
Try ExecuteScript rather than content scripts in webviews. It's almost the same as the programmatic-injection kind of content script that you're probably already familiar with.
My problem is very similar to the one posted here:
http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Plotting-Addresses-Maps-t1968130.html
except that thread never found any solutions. Basically, I'm working on an Access form that has a datasheet as a subform. Upon clicking a button on the main form I'm trying to make it so that a browser window opens up and, using the address columns from the spreadsheet data in the subform, plot all the address markers listed. I've looked up a lot of ways to attempt this but I've yet to find a way that seems to work.
I'm not even sure if it's possible to plot multiple markers on Google Maps, but according to research (and after trying it myself) it seems like it isn't, although I don't want to rule it out entirely because I'm still not 100% sure. However I know both Google Earth and batchgeo.com do allow this. I still want to try and do this on Google Maps, but if that doesn't work I want to try to do it using batchgeo.com and if that still doesn't work, then Google Earth (I don't want to make the user download external software if possible).
If it helps, from what I've read API's seem like a useful tool, though I'm not sure how to apply it to an Access form, it seems more like a way to embed to already existing websites.
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me figure out how to approach this problem!
Maybe this would help?

It is Excel but should be translatable.
Here is another example, this time using Access:

You're right. There's no way, that I'm aware of, to embed a Google Maps object in a form (like an ActiveX control). Microsoft MapPoint is a software product that lets you do Map integration by way of an ActiveX control (no need to use HTML and/or javascript).
What I usually do on a project like you're working on is I get my HTML page working the way I want it to, outside and independent of MS Access. You should be able to program and test the HTML file locally without having to use an actual web server. Just use something like NotePad++ or Sublime Text Editor 2 to write your HTML and Javascript and then open the file in your browser to see if it works. I'm quite sure you'll need to use Javascript in your HTML page to make this work. That's what the Google Maps API is all about.
After you have your webpage working, then you will have to go into Access and write code to create that web page on the fly with the address data for the current data set. You can just write it out to the Windows Temp folder and then open your browser control that that web page.
Julian Knight's answer links to more specifics on how to create the HTML page on the fly. It looks like gobble-de-gook, mostly because it is. Outputting HTML/Javascript/CSS from VBA is far less than optimal. This is why you troubleshoot it outside of Access, as much as you can.
I am working on a web application that needs silent printing (without print dialog box) with client side printer.
After some research we found that we can make it work using ActiveX and Foxit Reader.
Currently it works great but it constraints us with IE only and we want to make it work with Firefox and Chrome as well.
I know there is no direct code to make it work, but there must a work around?
What I need is the point to start e.g. Chrome/Firefox plugins to access local printer - or make windows service that runs in background in the client side, change browser settings, use ActionScript etc.
It will also be great if someone also illustrate how Facebook access local webcam from its website it may make about accessing clients peripherals from website. Thanks in advance.
For anyone who still wants information regarding printing on Chrome and/or FireFox without the use of ActiveX, extensions or client-side scripting, please see my answer to another question similar to this.
