Hi,

I am trying to figure out why the code below, keeps opening a the URL in a new tab in Firefox instead of the active tab or page that is already open.

Code:
%%url = http://www.vdsworld.com

DDE LINK,FireFox,WWW_OpenURL
    if @ok()
        DDE EXECUTE,@CHR(34)%%url@CHR(34)",,-1,0,,,,"
    end
DDE TERMINATE


Now if FireFox is already open with a page like www.microsoft.com for example and you run the code, a new tab will be added with vdsworld.com instead of replacing the microsoft.com page.

My firedox browser is set to open a new tab only if I would click a link in the microsoft page.

in the DDE EXECUTE line the -1 means to open in active page the %%url

Any ideas?


Thank you.

Ok found the problem, or solution if you want.

In firefox in order not to have multiple tabs open or new windows when send the DDE Link WWW_OpenURL , the settings of Firefox needs to be set in Options,Advance, Tabbed browsing, choose the radio button "the most recent tab/window"
