Re: external url link

Try adding a / to the end of the URL you've specified in the KO.
If that doesn't work, don't use the KO. Grab the BuddyAPI Xtra from
http://wwww.mods.com.au
and use the baOpenURL function.
You can use two or three functions from that Xtra without paying for it 
(though it's a very useful tool so consider purchasing it).

just ignore the KO. Use one or other of these:-

JumpOutReturn("", "http://www.bbc.co.uk")

or

GoToNetPage("http://www.bbc.co.uk", "_blank")

I see Erik mentions appending the trailing slash "/" ... if memory
serves, 
*either* it may fial if you leave of the slash, *or* it may fail if you 
include it. My gut agrees with Erik - add the slash  :-)

Hi
 I have a standalone CAL application. I would like to have a button which when 
the user clicks on it, it will open up a web browser with url i.e. 
http://www.bbc.co.uk

 I tried to use the Internet Knowledge Objects > Launch Default Browser 
 But when I run the CAL app, a window loads up asking for the location of the 
web browser application. 
 Also I don't want to specify in advance what web browser, as our enduser will 
probably have various ones. Can't it just open up using the enduserd default 
web browser?

 Thanks
 Jon
