Use this, from the revGoURL command in the Revolution libraries: put "open location ""e& tURL "e into s do s as AppleScript > and I don't see a way in Metacard to determine whether the person > is running OS X or not. The version function returns the current OS version. In the case of the Mac I'm using now, for example, it returns "9.2.2". Because a version number may have two or more periods, you can count on being able to do arithmetic comparisons with it directly. To check for OS X in our WebMerge product, I grab the first part of the string returned by "the version" and do the compare on that: function IsOSX if the platform is not "MacOS" then return false get the systemversion set the itemdel to "." if item 1 of it >= 10 then return true return false end IsOSX > Someone said "mailto" doesn't work on Win32, so it wasn't clear how > that was handled.

The "open location" method works pretty consistently here, testing on IE, NN, Opera, and AOL, under OS X (10.1), OS 9.2.2, and 8.6. One thing to note: NN is much picker about URL formats than IE. In IE, spaces are tolerated, but they've caused trouble in IE. Replace the spaces with "%20" and it works across the test matrix noted above. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish any Database on Any Site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
