InfoPath Dev

Gday,

How do I go about coding a button which launches an IE window
similar to javascript:window.open("www.somesite.com") . Essentially i will have a text box containing a URL and a button which will hopefully open an IE window to the location specified in the text box.

thanks

Hi,

Have you tried?
function YouButtonName::OnClick(eventObj)
{
var oIE;
oIE = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");
oIE.Visible = true;
oIE.navigate("http://www.infopathdev.com");
}

Regards,

Franck Dauché

Hi!

First, excuse me for my poor English... I try to improve but it's never so easy. :-)

So, in a second time, I wish you could help me to resolve a problem with the sample code you gave.
I wrote exactly the same in my script.js but it gives me an error message :

I hope you could help me.
Thanks
