If the user has InfoPath installed on their PC the form will default to open in InfoPath. This is not desirable. All forms should open in the browser not in InfoPath. Why? Because some users in the company my have infopath installed and some may not. It's unrealistic to uninstall InfoPath on users computers just so the forms will open in the browser.
Please review this video for more details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkIeE8MTnSc
I had the same problem. For me, pasting "?OpenIn=Browser" after the links (by default), solved the problem
You can force Sharepoint to open Infopath forms in the browser instead of the client application (Infopath).
In short:
Make sure your form is browser enabled
Make sure your form library is set to "Display as web page" under advanced settings
Make sure you configure the InfoPath Forms Services to render form templates that are browser enabled by users.
Quote from Open Infopath form in a browser when click New Item on Forms Library:
When you are creating a Infopath form make sure you tick the Enable
browser enabled features only at the time when you are creating a new
infopath form. Make sure that your form is browser enabled (Tools ->
Form Options -> Compatibility) in InfoPath. The "Design a form that
can be opened in the browser" is checked and selected. After designing
your form publish it in your Sharepoint Forms Library.
After that follow this step:
Go to the Form Library to which you published the InfoPath form
template.
Click Settings on the Form Library menu bar and choose Form
Library Settings from the drop-down menu.
On the Customize page under the General
Settings category, click Advanced settings .
On the Form Library Advanced Settings: page
under the Browser-enabled Documents category, choose Display as a Web
page .
From the Central Administration also make sure to enable this feature.
To enable this setting:
Open SharePoint Central Administration .
Click the Application Management tab.
On the Application Management page under the InfoPath Forms
Services category, click Configure InfoPath Forms Services .
On the Configure InfoPath Forms Services page under the User
Browser-enabled Form Templates category, check Render form templates
that are browser-enabled by users .
InfoPath will not open in Browser when used as a default form in a 2010 SharePoint Document set. This occurs whether force open in browser is set or not. It's a bug. I am wondering what InfoPath sees when it determines whether or not to open in the client and if there is a way to disable this writing some custom code into the form? Or perhaps once could customize the document set settings such that it would always open in the browser? from other posts on the web this problem also occurs with various other SharePoint 2010 special libraries/templates such as record center.
Moontear, The expected behavior is that ALL links (search links, task links, workflow email links) associated with the published InfoPath form open in the browser regardless of InfoPath being installed on users PCs. Keep in mind that ALL form links will open in the browser when using Chrome or FireFox.

I want the Content Search Webpart to display like this below.
But it's showing me this instead.
Any idea why? i have de-activated and re-activated both the features for SharePoint Server Publishing and SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features. Still it does not show up what i wanted.
SOLVED
1.Go to SharePoint Central Admin found in your startup app windows
2.Go to Application Management and click on Manage service applications and click Search Service Application.
3.Go to Crawl rules and click New Crawl Rule and configure it
4.Go to Content Sources and click Start All Crawls
You know there is a web browser control in visual basic controls.
When we are using Auth2 for get into Google Apps(Gdrive,GPlay...) it opens a webpage in OS default browser(Chrome , Fire fox...) to get permissions. How can I make it to request from a web browser control on the form without opening other browsers?
The Google .Net client library is designed to open the users default browser for authentication.
The client library does not have the functionality to give you the url you would need to open it in a web browser control.
Sorry this is not possible
We have a sharepoint site that is used both internally and externally. Internal users are authentication via AD and there are no issues. The external users are authenticated using STS and the Portal User Table. However whenever an external user tries to open a document they have to re-enter their login credentials.
This happens everytime they open a document unless they happen to have left the application that the document is read in is left open, i.e. if they open a word document, leave it open and then open another word document then they don't get asked for credentials.
This is obviously a royal pain as we are using the site for document review, revision and collaboration. Our systems team say this is working as designed and there is nothing that can be done about it. Is there any practical way to resolve this without the external users having to specifically configure something on their own system or network?
Thanks

Here is a solution I found quite some time ago..
In Internet Explorer, click on Tools and select Manage add-ons
Highlight Toolbars and Extensions in left navigation.
Locate SharePoint OpenDocuments Class
Right-click and click the Disable button
Close and refresh browser
I have a facebook iframe app I'm trying to test using a WebBrowser Control on a form in VB.NET 2010. Whenever I try to access the WebBrowser.Document.Window.Frames frame object on a document where my app is showing in the broswer, I get an Access Denined exception. Reading around on the web, I see people saying that this is to keep scripts in a document from accessing content in iframes that are pulling content from another domain, as per 'http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533028.aspx', for security reasons.
While I totally understand why this is done for the general public, how can I disable it on my machine so that I can run these tests? I can't properly test my app without doing it in the facebook iframe and using the WebBrowser control is the only way I know to do this test programmatically.
Any ideas? I'm on windows server 2003 and ie8, .net4.0, if that helps. I own the domain where the app is, and its in AS.NET MVC2, so if there's anything I can do to the web code to enable this??? I also removed the Internet Explorer ENhanced Security COnfiguaration component, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Philip
Have you tried changing your Internet Explorer settings to enable cross domain scripting?
I believe the VB.Net Web Browser control inherits settings from the local copy of IE.
Try this:
From Internet Explorer, choose Internet Options from the Tools menu.
On the Security tab of the Internet Options dialog box, select the Local Intranet Web Content Zone and then click Custom Level.
Locate the Miscellaneous/Access Data Sources Across Domains setting, and then select Enable, as shown in Figure 2.
Click OK, and then click Yes to the warning dialog box that appears.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
Also try adding the Facebook https Url into your trusted sites.
As a last resort disable Native XMLHttp in IE and attempt to revert back to an older version of the XMLHttp object.
When I navigate to an intranet site requiring windows authentication, the WinForms WebBrowser control isn't displaying a login dialog. But it will display (after refreshing the page) if I first open Internet Explorer and view the same page.
Also, if I make the URL refer to my local IIS instance, the login dialog will appear.
Any ideas? Thanks!
You can send credentials via IAuthenticate. You can either extend the winform webbrowser site or write your own webbrowser wrapper.
