Re: Creating a answer hyperlink
I could be wrong (often am) but I think you'll have to use a regular substack to do this and not an answer dialog. As far as I can tell, an answer dialog responds only to clicks on buttons, not to any mouse actions in the text. You *could* of course program a button click to take the user to the site with revGoURL but since you have no control over the appearance of the buttons or of the labels of the buttons in an answer dialog, I'm not sure that accomplishes what you want. The good news is that doing this in a substack is easy and, in some ways, preferable to using the built-in ask/answer dialogs anyway.

Re: Creating a answer hyperlink
what about htmltext? Thanks to Eric's htmltext builder in his tutorials, I created the following script: put pfont face= quote Charcoal quote size= quote 36 quote DUDE/font/p quote crquote pfont face= quote Charcoal quote YOU LEFT THE WATER RUNNING/font/p quote crquote pfont face= quote Charcoal quote ahttp://barncard.com/a/font/p into tPrompt answer error tPrompt with Cancel or OK titled Test as sheet This puts up a neat dialog with a clickable link - but according to the message watcher no messages are sent when clicked - even though the link does hilite.

I tried this in a button: on mouseUp answer pThis is aa link/a/p end mouseUp on linkClicked pLink put pLink end linkClicked and it didn't work... I clicked the link, but the answer dialog remained up and nothing showed up in the message box.

Re: Creating a answer hyperlink
Hi Chris, Could you explain how do you get this result? A priori, if you use the standard dialog, the linkClicked message will be sent to the answer dialog stack (card 1) and never to the calling stack. May be this works in a standalone if the standard dialog has become a substack and if your call is located in the script of your main stack (I did not verify). I asked Runrev a long time ago to handle links in answer dialogs (at least revGoUrl the effective text and revMail the effective address) but I was not heard...
