ok normally if you type in www.google.com it will go into it and put in the http:// but in the program if you just leave it , it wont. it will do nothing if u dont put in http.

IE isn't that good. It's just bundled with windows so everyone uses it. Back on topic, what language are you programing this browser in?

i think this si wat ure talking bout.

say that the thing u type the url in is named text1 and the explorer thing is named webbrowser1, type this in the code

webbrowser1.navigate = "http//:" + text1.Text

that might work i have no idea im just guessing

But if the person already typed http:// that wouldn't work. If it's vb use this.

Code: Select all

If LCase(Left(URL, 7)) <> "http://" Then URL = "http://" + URL

it works all right but when i go to run it , it says there is an error but it still runs

What is the error?

sry it doesnt matter the error was something to do with another thing i fixed but i still got the problem with the http if the user types it in , it doesnt get the address and one more thing how would i make it that it gets the address when i press enter aswell and Cheech|N|Chong i would just have to say that internet explorer is so crap and vb is so easy (and kinda booring cus of it) that it would take me 1 day flat out to make a new one that would be better then it but i cant prove that cus i always will have something to do and ne way the pizza would run out =)

On key down use this code:

Code: Select all

If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
 'Code for enter key goes here
End If

Thebirthdayhat · Post by **Thebirthdayhat** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 10:52 am

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Select Case keycode
Case vbKeyReturn
"coding for watever u want to happen goes here"
End Select
End Sub
theres just another option that i like to use more often.

Oh of course not if you use VB's Internet Explorer control.
