Create a Card with Your Favorite Websites:

and add buttons with images and code to go to each of your favorite websites:

Example of a card with your favorite websites:

add buttons with images and code to go to each of your favorite websites:

e.g.

The following is a sample of the code from each button in the first column:

        on mouseUp
              launch url "https://www.gmail.com/"
       end mouseUp

        on mouseUp
              launch url "https://family.sis.pgcps.org/schoolmax/reset.do?0Mjumkz13-SgYEjWekr3%3dxguw3YEa.aU7zaju.xnn.xGOSG-OG-              Sh%2bSS%256UOd%256U6D.qhhgwEkeUsrgwUVm3sEV" // pasted from a normal browser window after going to this site to get this url
       end mouseUp

       on mouseUp
              launch url "http://www.collegeboard.org/"
       end mouseUp

      etc

Notes:
  if a filename has a space in the document name then revBrowser will silently fail. Replacing space with %20 cures this. replace " " with "%20" in myUrl

How To Do The Code:

1. Launch url - Opens a url (file/website/application/etc) in the correct application

Use the launch url command to open a url using the default action for the current system. The command performs an action appropriate to the protocol and address provided in the given URL.

Using:

Launch url <urlToOpen>

where:

urlToOpen is the url to launch. Can be in the following forms:
• http: url - will launch in the default browser application if available.
• file: path - open the file in the associated application
• tel: url - open the dialer with a given phone number

Examples:

launch url "http://www.livecode.com"
launch url "file:/Users/ben/Desktop/test.pdf"

launch url "tel:44 7818 8822"

You can open up websites:

    on mouseUp
              launch url  "http://google.com"
       end mouseUp

more examples

launch url "http://www.livecode.com" with "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

launch url "file:/Users/ben/Desktop/test.pdf"

launch "http://google.com" with "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

You can also open up documents:

launch url "file:/Users/ben/Desktop/test.pdf"

You can even start a phone call

on mouseUp
launch url "tel:301 521 3333"
launch url "tel:1 301 521 3333"
end mouseUp

2. Launch Document - Opens a file/document/website/etc with the operating system's default program.

The simplest way to display a document is to use the "launch document" command. It is the easiest way. This opens the document with the default program on your computer e.g Word, Excel, Safari, Chrome, etc

on mouseUp
              launch document "Bell Schedule.pdf"
       end mouseUp

more examples
  launch document "Bell Schedule.pdf" - open up a pdf or jpg (cut and saved from the ERHS website)
   launch document "MyReport.doc"           - open up a Word document in Word or Pages
   launch document  "Expenses.xls"           - open up a spreadsheet in Numbers or Excel
      launch document "Presentation.ppt"        - open up a PowerPoint show
