Is there a way to launch a web url using the internal web browser of the viewer using a parameter for llLoadUR?

No. You can send the URL to chat using llOwnerSay(), llInstantMessage(), llSay(), etc., and if the user clicks on it and has the internal browser selected in their preferences, that'll work. But not with llLoadURL().

Hello Hewee,

that really is an alternative but really drops the ease of use for the user, hmmm I guess I have to wait till Linden improves that piece of code. I did try the parcel media method and worked nice but that won't work well for across SIMs unless there's a script that can use a media texture inside the prim and set url without intefering with the land media settings.

Thanks for your reply

You will have a long wait, it used to work as you want it too, but LL decided to force it to the external browser in a later viewer release. It broke a lot of content that was under development at the time, and a JIRA issue was opened(sorry don't know the number).

I think I read somewhere that Linden is replacing the internal browser engine, perhaps something to do with licensing issues?

From: someone

The new QtWebKit based browser looks to replace the Mozilla implementation that is currently in-place. We sought comment from Linden Lab about this earlier in the week, but they have not yet responded. At present, it is not clear when WebKit-enabled builds will be available from Linden Lab.
