Action: Navigate to target

 

 

 

 

Applies to:

Web object

Description:
Navigates to a local path or online URL (Unified Resource Locator) and opens the corresponding web page.

 

Parameter: URL or absolute or relative path to a file.

 

Parameter format:
 

URL: any URL path information

Example URL: www.browserbob.com
 

Relative file path: path to the file, seen from the working directory of your BrowserBob application (where the application.exe is executed).

 

Example parameter: <_currentdir_>\Additional\startpage.html

Explanation: <_currentdir_> (the placeholder for the app's working directory)

\Additional\startpage.html (path to the file)

 

This parameter will open startpage.html in the web window. This applies to files that have been added to your project under View->Additional files. Relative file paths will also work without adding the files to your project, given that you know the exact path to the respective file seen from the working directory of the application.
 

 

Absolute file path (local or network path): full path to the file.

 

Example parameter: C:\infopage.html (local filepath)

 

\\SERVERNAME\C\infopage.html (network path)

 

 

Important note: if you want to enter paths to files which will be delivered with your application as additional files (packed into your program package), you should add these files to your project first as additional files, and then select relative paths to these files from the parameter selection button.

 

This will enable you to test your relative paths in testmode, as all files added under additional files will be copied into a temp folder when you test your project.
