I’m trying to use a button to open a different ignition project that is run in a web page.

I’ve created an html webpage to host project 1 applet.  
I’ve also created an html webpage to host project 2 applet.

The reason for the html pages is to make the applet size dynamic and resize to the actual size of the browser window. This works well.

The problem I now have is that I want to open one project from the other. I can do this using the system.util.retarget() command, but it opens the destination project in it’s default applet page which isn’t dynamic.

This works but is the wrong page:  
system.util.retarget(“Project2”,“192.168.1.1:8088/main”)

This doesn’t work:  
system.util.retarget(“Project2”,“192.168.1.1/Project2.html”)  
The error I get is this:

Does anyone know of a way to open the destination Project in a custom html page?

Thanks,  
David

Ok, I can answer my own questions.

Instead of using system.util.retarget() I’ve now used this and it works well:  
system.net.openURL(“192.168.1.1/Project2.html”)

Cheers,
