RE: How can I direct revGoURL to a specific browser?
I am having the same issue with revlets. They work 100% in IE but maybe 85% in Firefox. Is there a certain discipline I should be using when writing code for revlets so they work in revlets supported browsers? jim schaubeck 714.321.4499 -Original Message- From: use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of J.

Re: How can I direct revGoURL to a specific browser?
OK. I wasn't specific about all the details because it wasn't material to the question but since people keep trying to solve the wrong problem I will now say the whole story. A company I work at has this terrible time card software program. For some inexplicable reason this web page actually opens a popup window after you authenticate. This means that the user has to turn popup blocking OFF. The software has only been certified for IE on Windows but in our testing it actually works in Firefox and Safari too. Our users have popup blocking already turned OFF for IE. To make life easier for other browsers we recently added code to the page that tests for popup blocking. My program is a reminder application that launches a URL to whatever the default browser is. The URL works perfectly for IE, Firefox, and Safari regardless Windows or Mac. However, we discovered that if a Windows user has IETabs installed in Firefox the URL hangs Firefox. So we were left with the dilemma of either not detecting the blocking of popups which means the user has no idea why the screen just blinks at them or hanging the browser. I thought that if I could direct IE to open the URL for Windows, it would always work because all the users already have IE correctly not blocking popups. Fortunately the code for testing blocking of popups was fixed so it doesn't matter any more. However, it sounds like there isn't a good way to open a specific browser in Windows.

Bill Vlahos For me, if there was a program or operation that opened a browser in the manner you are describing, I would be unpleasantly surprised and seek to kill that program or process. This would especially be true of a browser. Now if I was asked, I responded 'yes', and then the browser was launched that would be an acceptable scenario.

How can I direct revGoURL to a specific browser?
