Hello, could anybody show me how to do this?
I want to call up a local hard-disk HTML file in a web browser and position to an anchoring ID

HTML file :

Code: Select all

<HTML><BODY>
TEST
<a href='aaa'>TEST-AAA</a><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
<a href='bbb'>TEST-BBB</a><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
<a href='ccc'>TEST-CCC</a><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
</BODY></HTML>
I have tried to RunProgram with parameter but failed

Code: Select all

file:///c:/test.help#ccc

This might not be the best place to ask but is there a good example of writing out a html text file on the PB site that is data driven. I gave up using ms-access reports long ago and write VBA procedures that export html. They look like Rhtml which is written in Ruby. I am just wondering if there are any styles and conventions in PB? Another question that is more closely related to this tread would be is it possible to create a lump of html text in a text variable and pass this to the browser control instead of pointing the browser control at a saved text file?
