My question is how to make the $url identifier work with Google Chrome?
when I type //say $url it should return the page I'm on. It worked when I was using FireFox, but I want to know how I can make it work with Google Chrome, if there is a way. Thanks.

You may need to make your Chrome as your default browser for $url to be working again.

It has been my default browser for a while, but the $url identifier still doesn't work. You should try it and see. Maybe mIRC just needs that update for chrome.

Are you using the mIRC beta or 6.35?

jcRAM6, you're right. I try that identifier while having the IE 8 open (I hardly use IE, just letting it simmer on its own when it's needed), and I just realize it doesn't return the browser URL.

I don't have Google Chrome installed, so I don't know.

However, the $url gets along well with the firefox browser. sick

Yeah I know it works well with FireFox. And I just tried it with IE 8. It works with that to. And I didn't have to make it my default browser. This is getting weird.

Well $url is supposed to work in 6.35, but the beta seems to have a problem with dde ($url depend on dde), so the 6.35 may have a problem as well, I remember someone reporting a bug, but about /url.

Wims, that's only for beta. That's why I asked which version the OP was using.

Np. smile

In any case, it still may be related. As it uses DDE, it could be that Chrome doesn't correctly respond when $url is used. I don't have Chrome and have no intention of installing it, so I can't test it to see. However, if it's because Chrome doesn't respond correctly with DDE, then it's a Chrome problem and not a mIRC problem.
