How to integrate an external HTML link to a XML button?

Troubleshooting gui
1

Hey guys,



just another question: For our GUI we want to have a help button on each screen, which links to an external HTML site when you click it.



I found this:

[xml]<html:a xmlns:html=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”

href=“http://www.example.com”> … </html:a>[/xml]



But unfortunately it doesn’t work when I put a button panel between this:

[xml]<html:a xmlns:html=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”

href=“http://www.google.de”>

<panel id=“panel_show1” height=“80%” width=“60%” valign=“center” backgroundImage=“Interface/RedHeadGUI/Buttons/show.png” childLayout=“center” visibleToMouse=“true”>

<!–<interact onClick=“goToNext(hud2)” />–>

</panel>

</html:a>[/xml]



Do you have any ideas how I can link to a HTML site? I’m sure that’s not a big problem, is it?



Thanks in advance.

Nifty is not a browser, you can’t just link some web page.

3

I can’t click on a button, so that a browser opens with the given link?



That’s how for example the Adobe help also works: You click on “help” and then a browser opens showing the Adobe Help Center. This is not possible with XML?

4

Just do a normal nifty callback and open a browser.

And when you want to open the browser, use this little class: http://www.centerkey.com/java/browser/

Okay thank you! I downloaded and imported the class DesktopBrowser.java.



But how can I use it in the XML code right now?



[xml]<panel id=“help” height=“6%” width=“20%” valign=“bottom” backgroundImage=“Interface/RedHeadGUI/Buttons/help.png” childLayout=“center” visibleToMouse=“true”>

<interact onClick="??" />

</panel>[/xml]



Sorry I’m just a complete newbie!! :frowning:

Like any nifty callback, they are documented. Check the wiki or the nifty bible, both reachable one click from here.
