Topic: Needs enhancement of {Open URL at cursor} command (1 of 11), Read 46 times Conf: VEDIT Suggestions From: Peter Rejto Date: Thursday, April 22, 2004 06:54 PM Hello, I would like to have an enhancement to the {Open URL at cursor} menu command. Specifically, I would like to be able to open an .html file on my computer, after typing in its path into a file which is open in Vedit. If I type in the href of item 1. below, into an .html file and load that file into my Netscape 7.1 then clicking/double clicking on it in Netscape, Netscape opens it. I would appreciate it if Vedit would do the same. I have tried the following: Experiments with the {File, Open(More..), Open URL at cursor} menu command. 1.: href="file://C:/Local/Software/webboard..../list.html" Error message: info.netscape.com could not be found. 2.: file://C:/Local/Software/webboard..../list.html Error message: BAD FILENAME: file:\\C 3.: C:/Local/Software/webboard..../collapse.html Error message: info.netscape.com could not be found. Thanks, -peter.

This works for me using IE. Therefore, it is either a problem with the way the OPENCURS.VDM works with Netscape, or with the way Netscape is installed on your computer. Since we don't use Netscape, I am unable to test this. Ted. Ted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Green (ted@...) Greenview Data, Inc. Web: www....

Thanks Christian: I did download you enhanced macro. I believe that it did help me quite a bit. Now let me give you a progress report: {Help, Vedit Website}; OK. {File, Open More, Preview URL in browser}; OK. Now the problem: I opened the downloaded collapse,29.html file in Vedit and did put the cursor on expand_45.html. Then I invoked the {File, Open More, Open URL at cursor} menu command. I got back the error message; www.expand_45.html not found. In other words, it prepended the www. string to the URL-address. I understand, this was a relative address. I also experimented with a global address, href=... . I got the same response as before. That is to say, the program prepended the same www. string. Do you have any feeling where this www. string may come from? Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you. -peter

In other words, it prepended the www. string to the URL-address. {File, Open More, Open URL at cursor} tries to open a file *or* URL. It first checks if there is a file with that path/name existing. If yes it opens the file "expand_45.html" in the browser. If the file with that name isn't found, the "URL" is used as an URL and passed as is to the browser. The file "expand_45.html" isn't existing on your disk, I assume? I think that Netscape is setting the "www." in front of that "URL". What happens if you type an URL like "..." into Netscape manually? I bet it's expanded to "www....". BTW: There seems to be another (internal) problem with OPENCURS.VDM. I'll try to find and fix it this evening. Christian

Have you tried just:- C:/Local/Software/webboard..../list.html This works for me, although the other options do not (in IE6.0)

So, it does not work for me either. Incidentally, what version of the macro do you use to implement this menu command? -peter.

I know Christian has later versions, but do not actually use this much. PS I don not normally use IE, but have it set as default browser. It is necessary to access certain Microsoft sites, and is so dumb, that if you don't have it as default it uses the other browser when you use its Favourites. If I wanted to use opencurs I would customise it to allow me to select browser.
