url in a gui window

How do I put an url in a gui text window?
I am using the GuiMLTextProfile
and in the text="<a href=http://url.here>link here</a>";
the link can be clicked on
but no web page opens.
I searched these forums and the wiki but could not find an answer.

What I found on the wiki on page http://wiki.graal.us/GScript#GuiMLTextCtrl: and am using is this

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href=url> text </a> - when the user clicks on 'text' then 

  a web browser is opened for the specified url

but no web browser pops up when i click the link...

Are you sure this isnt a technical problem conserning your browser?

I know firefox has a long warmup time, and sometimes flags in other programs arent picked up by it.

Quoted from the very same part of the page you linked to:

Quote:

onURL(url) when clicked on url

The onURL(url) command
has insufficient documentation for it to be useful (as is the case with much of the wiki).
I could find no example of it in use.
I understand that the http://website.address.com goes betweek the parentheses, but where does the text for what you want the user click on go?

Look what happens when you try:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onURL(url) {

  openURL(temp.url);

}

Well nano, I tried it, and I see that nothing happens.
no link shows up in the text place regardless of where I add that code.

PHP Code:


		
			
        new GuiMLTextCtrl("Welcome_Text") {



          profile = "GuiMLTextProfile";

             function onURL(url) {openURL(temp.url);}

          position = "15 25";

          extent = "500 50";

          text = "<img src=orb6.gif id=1><shadow:1:1><shadowcolor:000000>Welcome to Sanstrata Classic, " @player.nick;

           }

that block of code is of course within a GuiWindowCtrl. The welcome message shows up, I see the welcome message, but there is no link.
I tried putting the function in the text string too, but all that does is convert the function to display text. I tried putting it where the @player.nick is but that does not show anything either.

What am I doing wrong here?

First off, I do not see a URL in what you posted. URLs are defined using the standard HTML <a href> tag or the Torque script <a:url>, also do not include the http://.

Try using a catch event instead.

HTML Code:

thiso.catchevent(name, "onURL", "urlClicked");

Then add to somewhere in the code:

HTML Code:

function urlClicked(obj, url) openURL(url);
