No, that won't do it either.
I think your comment about put the text into a field is correct: That should give the OP what is needed.

Well then how about trying: instead?

To open a file, use the launch command. Here is a sample script (I put the file is my Public folder). on mouseUp pButtonNumber launch document "/Users/myName/Public/Test.txt" --Or, try something like this: --launch "/Users/myName/Public/Test.html" with "/Applications/Safari.app" end mouseUp This sho...

This is interesting. How to download?
I watched a couple of videos on the internet so I am somewhat familiar with it.
Just curious.

Could it be that the button is grouped?
I don't know why that would make a difference.

The dictionary says "set the URL of widget to pUrl" is the command. Therefore to display the document, place this in front like this: file:///Users/richmond/Desktop/Hax 11 April/Test/Richmond Mathewson.html Note that there are three slashes in front. Save and close the file. <--Important, I think. R...

I think Klaus was correct when he said:

with the association: Browser
It shows the get and set commands for the Browser widget.
Untested.

I realize this will be slow in comparison to the alternatives ...

Okay.
Thanks Craig.

Jacque was talking explicitly about buttons. If you replace the generic button with one of the menu buttons: 1. Option menu (option) 2. Pulldown menu (pulldown) 3. ComboBox menu (combobox) 4. Popup menu (popup) 5. Tabbed menu (tabbed) you will see the menuMode of that button. The generic button's m...
