Is it possible to have an in world object that when touched, is scripted to cause the touchee's default browser to open to a website? If it is possible... how do i do this?
I would like to make a *.pdf building manual available to anyone who want's it... and would like to make it easy for an allready "interface challenged" noobie to get to it.
Thanks Much
Gene

You can, however, make a notecard giver which can instruct the player to open a specified URL and remind them to copy/paste the URL into their favorite browser.

While on the topic is it possible to send an object -> user email that contains a hyperlink? i've tried just adding the <a href="www.secondlife.com">hello</a> but it don't work  using sl links would be cool too <a href="secondlife://Solang/10/10/">my home</a> Any ideas on this? |

Maybe the email is going through as plain text, rather than in mime with Content-type = text/html ?
If this is the case, I'm not sure that you can do anything that put the link in plain text, and get the user to copy and paste into their browser?
Of course, what you *could* do is email to a Python/Perl/PHP script that then forwards to the user as html?

I believe email is automaticly stripped of html formating.

It can be done...sort of (never believe "no it can't" as an absolute). However, it would involve the client installing a small app that can listen for incoming email one way or another (the Outlook libs make it very easy for example). I've been experimenting with real webpage integration a la Active Worlds (it's SO cool that you can plug somebody to a web page in that game), and developed a little app that fires up SL as a child process, which gives me an MDI window to put whatever other client side tools I need, like a browser add-in, to work.
The idea was essentially borrowed/extended from EQWindows. It's extremely rudimentary but I think I'm on the path.
I will say though, that at this point in time, without extending or wrapping the SL client somehow, I have been unable to figure out any other way to integrate HTML pages.

Hey....
Last night I started to create an event for someone, and something that I pressed sent me to the SL webpage. So why can't that be done by users?

I'm glad someone figured it out. I was about to say "I've seen this before, I know for a fact it is possible..." But apparently someone got there before me. Good job!
