external link in Safari

13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 2

I'm trying to get a simple example to work, having a text link, that when clicked opens a URL in Safari, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Here is the code I'm trying:




<wire>



    <main>


  <panel name="panel" width="100%" height="100%" background="#ffffff">


      <text name="main" width="110" height="100" color="#000000" font="courier" size="14" align="center" valign="center" text="Hello World!" onclick="xlink"></text>


    <web name="browser" url="http://www.rarewire.com" pagetofit="yes"></web>


  </panel>


  </main>


    <actions>


      <action name="xlink">


      <load external="yes" url="safari-http://www.rarewire.com" target="browser"/>


    </action>


  </actions>


</wire>

You are very close here. A couple of things to note.

When you are using safari-http://www.rarewire.com as your URL, you don't need to add external="yes" that is only reserved for jumping out to other Apps that are not Safari.

Also you need to target your browser object differently. Because it is wrapped in a panel, you can use traditional pathing "../browser" or you can add an alias to your browser object and target that.

Here is a code sample:




<wire> 


<main> 


     <panel name="panel" width="100%" height="100%" background="#ffffff"> 


         <text name="main" width="110" height="100" color="#000000" font="courier" size="14" align="center" valign="center" text="Hello World!" onclick="xlink"></text> 


         <web name="browser" alias="BROWSER" url="http://www.rarewire.com" pagetofit="yes"></web> 


     </panel> 


</main> 


<actions> 


      <action name="xlink"> 


            <load url="safari-http://www.rarewire.com" target="BROWSER"/> 


      </action> 


</actions> 


</wire>
