My Issue Is (Enter your issue below): I have read through your whole Web viewer description and how to use it and for some reason the URL just won't pop up either on my phone or computer. I copy and pasted the URL into the designer for "home url." I have also uploaded the URL into the media on the website. It might be a simple block issue but I think I have it right. The blocks would be read like this when Screen 1. initialize do call webviewer.GoToUrl url webviewer 1. HomeUrl

[Taifun]

in Screen.Initialize just use the block

Webviewer.GoHome

Does the url look something like:    http://www.arrl.com  ?    you need the http://www part?

is that the issue?       Otherwise you might post an image of your blocks, otherwise it is difficult to help.  Do you know how to capture and image and post it on this forum?   If not, ask and you will get help.

regards,

Steve
