| | Posted: | | | | Sounds like a localized issue with your PC try this:
Start menu/tools/Folder options / File Types / ('alphabetize your File types )and then locate the Blue E (IE avatar) opposite Internet shortcut ., below this is the 'option' of Opens with: Internet Explorer and the button there can now be clicked and then you change the 'url extension to open up with Mozilla Firefox .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | Just want to add that even though my default browser is Firefox if I use the 'View Contributors' function and want to check their contribution notes it does still insist on using IE for whatever reason - I think it's hard coded (please change this Ken!) | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

For Windows there's a simple to use Webbrowser OCX control that allows you to load HTML pages and websites very easily in your program. That OCX is based on the IE engine and has been part of Windows since ... forever. But since it's based on IE, clicking on a follow-up link will trigger the opening of another IE window. It's like when you user your browser-of-choice and click on a link and select "open in new window". It will open a new window - of that very same browser, even if it's not your default browser. I don't think there is an "universal" OCX that would behave differently. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah... if I remember right Karsten is correct.
I couldn't tell you where I saw it at but I think I remember Ken saying that is something he cannot change. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | You could give IETAB a try! This Firefox plugin uses the IE engine. But.... no idea at the moment how to make it work properly with DVD Profiler...  | | | | Thorsten | | | | Last edited: by kahless |

I don't think there is an "universal" OCX that would behave differently. That's only partly correct. You can use the IE OCX control and then intercept navigation events that occur if you click on a link. Doing so, you can abort the IE navigation and do your own navigation (e.g. use the default web browser). With this technique it's also possible to build your own program that has an HTML user interface but "normal" code behind the scenes (years ago I built such an application with VB6). In .NET these events are "Navigating" (if a link is clicked that does not use a new browser window) and "NewWindow" (if a link is clicked that creates a new browser windows; here it seems to be impossible to get the target URL but this should not be a problem, as Ken is author of the base HTML page). | | | | Last edited: by Reihnold |
