Label with hyperlink support Thread last updated on 2004-05-06 08:29:50

Hi,

I am fooling with an RSS Reader module that displays its information in a label of your choice. I was wondering if there are any label modules that support hyperlinks so I could display a news item, and open the article when you click on it. If not, any other ideas?

Thanks,
T.

Why not just put a simple:
*Script bang !ShowArticle
*Script exec !execute "$Browser$" "www.cnn.com"]
*Script ~bang

onLeftClick event to the label ???

That will work. I was just hoping I could have it go directly to that article when you clicked on it.

Thanks,
T.

Hmmmm.... Have you check to see if it can have an added anchor #tag.
For Instance http://www.cnn.com/news/articles.html#article1
If you dont know HTML, then read up on setting anchor tags. Since I know that the previous post worked.... I dont see why this wont work. Its still a valid html address.

This is what you would do.
A NAME="top" (surrounded with the normal lessthan and greaterthan signs from HTML)

this goes on the html page where you want the link to point to. TOP would be changed out with what you want. You can have numerous of these on one html page.
Then you would just use the html page address that has your news such as http://www.cnn.com/news.html , then just add # followed by the that you put in earlier.

Hope it works :)

also if you want to see standard "hand" cursor, use the latest xLabel and Cursor property.
or if you want to have on-hover text change like usual internet links provides, bind !LabelRefresh bang to RSSItemsOnEnter...

but I'm recommend to try LSSyndication first ;)

Posted by member 93741 on 2004-05-06 08:29:50 link

Thank you all for your ideas! I will look into LSSyndication and if that doesn't suit my needs I'll check out Hovernews.

Thanks again,
