Hi, Can any1 tell me how I can use VB Script to place text into the web broweser address bar.

I mean eg:

I have a program that monitors the address bar of the browser, waiting on a command.

Well, when a user clicks on a link, the browser DOESN'T put the URL into the address bar. I need to know how to do this.

Please help me!

What you can do is:

<a href="http://www.vbdungeon.net/default.asp?code=start&action=begin">Click Here</a>

Example: Click Here (http://www.vbdungeon.net/default.asp?code=start&action=begin)

You can see that the request code and action is in the address bar.

It never occured to me to open a new window.

But if possible how can I do it without opening a new window, because it doesn't work in my program.

This will open the link in the same window:

<a href="http://www.vbdungeon.net/default.asp?code=start&action=begin">Click Here</a>

And this will open the link in a new window:

<a href="http://www.vbdungeon.net/default.asp?code=start&action=begin" target=_blank>Click Here</a>

;)

I know how to navigate to other pages, and yes itdoes place it in the address bar.

But thats not what I want to do, I probably wasn't very clear about this but here's what I want to do:

I have a program, that has a built in web browser! It monitors the browsers address bar for a command similar to the following:

loadchat#myroom#mehide

As Im sure you'll find, if you place that in a link, You get a netword error. but it still doesn't place it in the address bar.

If you know how I can do this please help me.
