Anything going on with that variable?

I tried it in the MC message box on my Mac, too, and it worked.

Where it failed was in the standalone on Windows. Is anything needed in the standalone besides libUrl for it to work?

The whole thing was weird. My hand built goUrl code didn't work on Windows, either, whereas on Mac it was fine. That's what made me look at it. I didn't know launch url existed (new in 2.9) until I tried to find out why Windows wouldn't go to the url as it always had before. I deleted my customized goUrl code and replaced it with launch url, using the tUrl variable I had always used.

Maybe it needs to be in quotes in the variable?

I don't think so. I just tried the same line as above in the Message Box on Vista, and got the result, "not opened". Same on XP. Tested with both IE as the default browser, and with FireFox.

I'd thought this worked in v2.9 - what's the missing piece?
