I understand there is a web browser component that can be added to the designer. What I'm not understanding is how to access it for download. Is the web site a secret or am I simply one of the blind mice? TIA ---

Well that's great for the web browser module. But, I thought there was a component that installs in Vision? ---

There is. First install the module in the gateway. Then start up designer fresh, and search the component palette for "web" ---

Well, restarting ignition did nothing. So, I'm still not seeing the web browser component in the Vision component list. unsolved Mystery? ---

Not the designer _launcher_. The actual designer, after you've launched it from the launcher. ---

Not only does it not start but it prevents all other projects I'm working on from actually starting. It hangs them. I uninstalled the web browser from the server and all is back to normal. Weird. I'm not going to Vegas anytime soon. ---

Did you install the correct version of the web browser module? It looks like you’re using Ignition 8.1.25, so you’ll want to make sure you grab the corresponding web browser module download. ---

I did not see on for 8.1.25 but I'll look again. ---
