Though I am turning on browse mode in the HTML editor, nothing happens when I enter a URL to browse the web. The computer is connected and browsing is possible using an external browser.

Is there a trick or setting that I've missed? Any help would be appreciated.

as I usually say, I'm not the expert here - only started using browse mode lately myself.

Entering a url in the url toolbar does work here - for some reason it flashes the HTML content of the previous item I've looked at first - but it works.

Could you give us a url that doesnt work (have you tried a few?) and someone can test it in case the problem is somehow related to it

Are you able to use browse mode apart from this?

Thanks Tom. It fails on every URL, so take your pick = www.google.com, for example.

I do know that this computer currently has an idiosyncrasy that it won't open an external browser when clicking on a URL in any program (i.e. I can't open a URL from within Word, for example), but I usually CAN open URLs from within programs (i.e. clicking a URL from within a browser will open that URL). I don't know if it has anything to do with it, and I can't test IQ on another PC at the moment, so I wondered if I'd missed something and wanted to check that first.

well you could prob test that by clipping something to IQ from the web (something with links in it)

In the html pane, right click the link and check is Browse Mode selected,

click the link - it should work within the html pane

If it doesnt work, it sounds like it's related to the problem you mention (IQ uses the IE engine within the HTML pane)

Spot on Tom. After working out how to make web clippings (a real newbie, me ...), and then where they went after being clipped (it does take some getting used to...), I was able to browse from that page to anywhere I wanted, provided there was a link; but typing in a URL just resulted in the page already being viewed flashing. I'll try to get IQ working on another PC to check if this is just me or a bug.

oh, I was thinking if that worked, then the URL should work, but not necessarily the case...

- as I say it's working here so it seems like it could be related to your IE problems...

Anyone else having problems with browsing via URL ??

I can confirm that there is a bug with the hyperlinks when in Browse mode. Ctrl-click in edit mode works fine though

Thanks Pierre. I've tested on a second PC and the problem is there also.

grahamrhind, Are you wishing that IQ's HTML pane would behave more like UltraRecall's html pane or what I think is happening / going to happen in zoot 6?

Hi Jan,

At present I don't have any specific wishes - I'm just going through the online documentation and trying to get everything to work to try to understand how IQ fits together and how I could make use of it. And the browser presently doesn't seem to work as documented because one can't browse to a URL entered in the URL field.
