(command-s "browser" htmlfile) from modal dialog

[Peter2]

In a modal dialog I have a click-event which should call the browser:

Code Select Expand

(command-s "browser" "c:\\test\\myfile.html")

The code for itself does what it should, but invoked from the dialogue nothing happens: no error, no result, no message,..

What's wrong?

Thanks

Peter

Commands cannot run while a modal dialog is active. You would need to first close the dialog. Alternatively, find a way to open the browser directly without using a command.

Hi, Peter, I prefer to use either wscript.shell or (startapp "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe" "D:\\Projekte\\SBO\\Bereitschaft\\PDF\\index.html"). Fred

But for "startapp" I need a defined / known browser-path and name. That's a problem for common use.
