This brings up the "WWWAnchor" interface that lets you "anchor" the selected 3-D object to a (local or remote) Internet resource (URL). You can "anchor" your objects to anything on the Web -- an HTML document, a GIF image, an MPEG video, an audio resource file or even another 3-D (VRML) world. When you "publish" your 3-D world and view the world using a 3-D Internet browser, the "WWWAnchor" attribute comes into the picture. Clicking on the 3-D object in the browser will link you to the URL specified.
An Internet resource (URL) file can be of the one of the following types:
Remote
A remote resource file is a resource file on the Internet and is specified using the remote resource's URL path. For example, "http://www.radiance.com/~radiance" or "ftp://www.sgi.com".
Local
A local resource file is a resource file on your local system and can be selected by choosing "Browse..." and using the file selector. When you select a file, Ez3d will determine the path of the file relative to your "publish" folder. For example, if you select the file "\users\you\www\sound\MOZART.aif" and if your publish folder is "\users\you\www", Ez3d will set "sound\MOZART.aif" as your URL in the Universal Resource Locator text field. Using relative paths for local URL fields make your VRML file portable.
Description
The (optional) "Description" field for the WWWAnchor attribute allows for a more friendly prompt to be displayed by Internet browsers as an alternative to displaying the URL field. Most 3-D Internet browsers will allow the user to choose the description, the URL or both to be displayed for a candidate WWWAnchor.

When you click on this button, Ez3d will bring up a VR browser to preview your URL. See section on "Options - Preferences" for information on selecting a VR browser.
Remove
The "Remove" button when selected removes the "WWWAnchor" attribute for the currently selected object.
Close
The "Close" button closes the "WWWAnchor" interface.
