Thanks again, Mike. I must be doing something wrong: This works, and I see the google page in the browser rect:
local tBrowserId put revBrowserOpen(tWindowId, "http://google.com";) into tBrowserId But when I add this line below those two: revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "htmltext", locHTMLText where locHTMLText holds my HTML-formatted text, I see this error message: execution error at line n/a () near "unknown browser id" What did I do wrong? Also, if I try: put revBrowserOpen(tWindowId, "") into tBrowserId without a valid URL, i.e. with an empty string instead of "http://google.com";, I see the usual IE message "cannot display this Web page. In other words, I don't know how to instantiate a revBrowser without giving it a valid URL. Can you help?
