Forums Scripts & Popups Dialog Links

How can I make a dialog link open a website e.g. www.mirc.com?

In dialog table (from mirc.hlp)
link "text", id, x y w h

yeah I figured that much...
this is what i have in the dialog:

but how do i make it open a link when it's clicked? if at all possible..

link host,ID , x y w h

link "Further help", 604, 100 29 96 10, tab600

on *:DIALOG:name:sclick:604:run http://www.mirc.com

your dialog table name here

i had open... didn't think of run..

Thanks

if you want to open the site in a new window, give a path to your browser.

i use: /run iexplore http://somesite.com

/run iexplore is also a better method as if you use a link such as bleh.com, run will not detect it as a link--iexplore will.

/run http://www.google.com - will work
/run www.google.com - will work
/run google.com - nope
/run 192.168.1.100 - nope

Just a more secure method >:D

Or just use /url, followed by the -n switch for a new window.

You still end up with using mirc's set browser, not your default, with run, u can specify the browser

Doesn't /url launch your system's default browser? (I can't test here because we only have IE)

I looked in help, and there is no reference to the "Default" browser. I might assume it does as the "Default browser bug" was fixed in 6.1, but thats not to say it still might not use the default with /url.

It uses the default browser. Also, since it was made for that, I wouldn't use /run.

i wouldn't use url now, but i would if it was 6.03 or earlier where i might assume it doesn't use default browser
