problem with EXTERNAL URL action
  View type:
hi
I'm struggling with the EXTERNAL URL action (on any object). No matter what URL I try (e.g. http://www.youtube.com) I get the same error message:
Cannot find file..... Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.

For some reason it's looking for a local (rather than external) file here. I've tried the same thing at home and in college - same problem.

I can get round it by using a window.open javascript - but it'd be easier to use EXTERNAL URL.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Thanks - got it working by using the link object (which works fine). Not sure why the EXTERNAL URL action doesn't work...
 
Hi Vernon
It's working for me, I can't see what would go wrong with this one.
Try enabling all of the options and see if anything changes.
You might want to look at the xml file the module is rendered from too
