Thanks, I went ahead and folded in your change.
It will appear in the production relase of Ptolemy II 2.0.
In general, we need a better way of handling urls, but this
seems like a simple enough extension

Hi,
I tried using a <A href="mailto:...";> in Ptolemy II 2.0-beta, and have
that opened via the browser. I noticed however that the #in_browser
trick does not work for mailto:.
To circumvent this I added a few lines to
HTMLViewer::hyperlinkUpdate(), (HTMLViewer.java, line 125), that I
think may be useful to others as well.
Instead of
boolean useBrowser = false;
String ref = newUrl.getRef();
if (ref != null) {
useBrowser = ref.equals("in_browser");
}
if (!useBrowser && event instanceof HTMLFrameHyperlinkEvent) {
it now says
boolean useBrowser = false;
String ref = newUrl.getRef();
if (ref != null) {
useBrowser = ref.equals("in_browser");
}
// Added for mailto: references, PL 20020725
String prot = newUrl.getProtocol();
if (prot != null) {
useBrowser |= prot.equals("mailto");
}
if (!useBrowser && event instanceof HTMLFrameHyperlinkEvent) {
and this works nicely. (At least, under WinNT it pops up a new Outlook
mail window, not tested with other browsers/mailers.)
Best regards,
Paul Lieverse
