MS Office Firefox Plugin (NPAPI)
Question
I am having trouble getting a Microsoft Office document to open in FireFox - using Microsoft's Office 2010 plugin.
Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff407576.aspx
I am trying it with the following html document in firefox. I have confirmed that the MS Office 2010 plugin is installed.
<doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function OpenWebDavDocument(url, extension) {
debugger;
var hownowPlugin = document.getElementById("winFirefoxPlugin");
hownowPlugin.EditDocument2(url, null)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<object id="winFirefoxPlugin" type=”application/x-sharepoint">
<a href="#" onclick="OpenWebDavDocument('bfd42001/hownow/files/Records/12182', 'xlsx')" style="">Excel Doc</a>
<a href="#" onclick="OpenWebDavDocument('hbfd42001/hownow/files/Records/8924', 'docx')" style="">Word Doc</a>
</body>
</html>
I am getting the following error when inspecting in FireBug:
hownowPlugin.EditDocument2 is not a function
Can anyone please point out where I am going wrong?

There was one additional change I made to get the link to work.
Currently, you have:
hownowPlugin.EditDocument2(url, null);
I removed the 2:
hownowPlugin.EditDocument(url, null);
Documentation for the FFWinPlugin can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff407576.aspx .
I'm doing a similar project where I need to support multiple browsers. My original edit code was from Milton ( http://milton.io/index.html ). It only worked in IE. Pooling together the IE code and the Firefox code, I was able to come up with this.
<script type="text/javascript">
var fNewDoc = false;
var EditDocumentButton = null;
try {
EditDocumentButton = new ActiveXObject('SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3');
if (EditDocumentButton != null) { fNewDoc = true; }
} catch(e) {}
var L_EditDocumentError_Text = "Editing not supported.";
var L_EditDocumentRuntimeError_Text = "Sorry, couldn't open the document.";
function editDocument(strDocument) {
if (fNewDoc) {
if (!EditDocumentButton.EditDocument(strDocument)) {
alert(L_EditDocumentRuntimeError_Text);
}
} else {
try {
var hownowPlugin = document.getElementById("winFirefoxPlugin");
hownowPlugin.EditDocument(strDocument, null);
} catch (e) { alert(L_EditDocumentError_Text); }
}
}
</script>
<object id="winFirefoxPlugin" type="application/x-sharepoint" width="0" height="0" style="visibility: hidden;"></object>

By the way, i had trouble making this work in Firefox. One thing to mention, is the path to the document needs to be absolute and not relative.
var hownowPlugin = document.getElementById("winFirefoxPlugin");
var version = hownowPlugin.GetOfficeVersion();
hownowPlugin.EditDocument("http://example.com/word.doc", version);

I don't have that plugin, but maybe it doesn't work because of a typo (error on the Microsoft page). You have
type=”application/x-sharepoint"
instead of
type="application/x-sharepoint"
(first quote)
Also give ! in the <!doctype html>
