Bert,<div><br></div><div>Thanks, I was able to get it to work by putting:</div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; ">
ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: &#39;<a href="http://squeakland.org/" target="_blank">http://squeakland.org/</a>&#39;</blockquote><div>into a Text box, then &lt;cmd-6&gt; and &quot;Do it&quot;</div><div><br></div><div>Then I tried to put it into a script by opening an empty script and the &quot;show textual code&quot; and placing &quot; ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: &#39;<a href="http://squeakland.org/" target="_blank">http://squeakland.org/</a>&#39;  (Used my blog post URL instead)</div>
<div><br></div><div>When I clicked on the exclamation point to run it once, well, I wound up improving my Google Analytics by 3,300% before I had to Force Quit Etoys to stop it opening pages.  It seems it just kept opening the URL over and over.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I entered a ticket as you suggested, but how can I safely create a script to open a URL in an external Web Browser?  A sample project would be much appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>

I discovered yet another fun new feature in Etoys:<div>When inside a &quot;Text&quot; object if you type &lt;cmd&gt;-6 (or for you windows folks &lt;ctrl&gt;-6) you get some color options, plus: <b>be a web URL link</b></div>


<div><b><br></b></div><div>Yet when I tried this, and clicked on the link, I two prompts:</div><div><ol><li>Prompt: Open a browser to view this URL? (then clicked on Yes, with great hope and anticipation)</li><li>Prompt: There are no WebBrowser applications registered (Darn, yet another potentially cool feature, that doesn&#39;t work and disappoints me, IMO we really should clean these things up, so kids have a better experience and don&#39;t get frustrated)</li>


<li>Prompt: View Web Page as source (this worked, but of limited utility, well my mind is not yet capable of figuring out a utility yet).</li></ol><div>Thanks,</div><div>Stephen</div></div>
</blockquote></div><br></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div></div><div>The internal web browser was removed, and the external web browser was not hooked up yet to that mechanism. On Mac and Windows the following should work nowadays:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div><span style="white-space:pre">	</span>ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: &#39;<a href="http://squeakland.org/" target="_blank">http://squeakland.org/</a>&#39;</div><div><br></div><div>but it does nothing on Linux IIRC.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are interested in this feature, please open a ticket.</div></div><br><font color="#888888"><div>
