Hi Everyone,

Sorry, it's me again! Does anyone know how to get the URL from IE or any other browser and open it in the browser example instead?

For example, I can use the browser example program no problem, but there are many sites that insist on opening a new window, so I get IE opening instead of a new window with the browser example.

Have tried searching IE's options but with no luck, and Firefox also opens a new window but in Firefox.

I know how to detect if IE is running, but I then want to "transfer" the URL to the browser example instead.

There are some near examples but I can't find exactly what I want.

Please note - I'm still learning this language.

Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Andy.

Andy, check browser_test2 example, it is able to open popups in its own window.

That's perfect! - it's in IW2 which I have now downloaded and will purchase real soon now.

Thanks,
