for ALL:

I jsut did this (as per original notes, + the "duh" put html tags around Iframe item.

I WILL NOT go through my tiddly and wrap code around anything extra.

But it works for me!

Outlook 2003 - point it at you new wrapper page. It give you the good old "Cannot obtain offline settings for...".

Click OK - you are back on the pick a home page form.

Click Cancel. Now your set!

No wacky edits to the tiddly to make it work!

(and yes, I exited back out of outlook and when I restarted it was still set correctly)

Just want to share.

@fras, yea, you'd think so, huh? But we are talking about Microsoft "security" here after all. I just linked it straight to the wiki and it worked fine. iframe? No. Javascript out the ears? Find.

Go figure.

@Tim Even if the Word 2007 engine supported iframes, I doubt TiddlyWiki would work because it is essentially a javascript application and I doubt Word 2007 would like that either.

Urgh. According to Microsoft the iframe HTML tag is not supported in Outlook 2007:

Unsupported HTML Elements Compared with the HTML 4.01 Specification

The following is a list of top-level HTML elements that the HTML 4.01 specification supports, but that Word 2007 does not support. Note that Word 2007 considers unsupported HTML elements to be unknown elements.

Word 2007 does not support:...
* iframe

Looks like we'll have to find an alternative method here.

Anyone found a bunch of custoim outlook today html pages to use as templates? I keep finding how to tweak outlook settings but not custom html pages specifically for OutlookToday.

I did find this excellent example but nothing else:

Anony, make sure that the wrapper file and the wiki HTML file are in the same folder. Then, to make sure it works, open the wrapper with your web browser.

I get a popup error from outlook that says:
The webpage could not be found.....

I browsed to my custom file so I don't understand how it can't be found.

Also using 2007 and I can't get it to work. I get an empty iframe. If I change the code to point to file://\MyWiki.html then it gives me scripting errors as well.

The wrapper opens fine with FireFox so I verified that putting the HTML tags around the code works in the wiki. Thanks!

But I don't get a cancel option, only OK. I'm using Outlook 2007 so that may have something to do with it. :-/

I'll keep messing and see if I can figure anything out. Thanks for the update.

2008-04-23T19:30:00.000Z

@Prashant I'm going to add an update. You need to put <html> </html> tags around the object code within the tiddlers.

@Tim I need to mention that error. I get it too but, if I then click cancel, instead of OK, Outlook goes ahead and displays the wiki anyway.

@Tobias I'm thinking about looking into that possibility soon. Keep a look-out for part two, if I succeed.

Excellent idea, and great workaround using the iframe. I'm not an outlook user, but I'd do this if I was.

I wonder if it would work as well if you put the outlook code into the wrapper page (MyWiki.html) so that you couldn't possibly lose sight of your Inbox, etc. by closing the tiddler (or accidentally clicking Close All on another tiddler).

Yea, totally cool hack but I can't get it to display the wiki. I get an error that says "Cannot obtain offline settings for..."

I saved the wiki and the new wrapper in the same folder. What am I missing?

2008-04-23T16:47:00.000Z

It works great and I'm trying to get the "Object" code into tiddlers without success.

How does one get the code into tiddlers?

Thanks for the hack.
