display url

I have displayed a simple url with a field set to html area on a form and with a bean on a form (HTMLpane). I can’t get showURL to work on developer. (mac osx). I pasted my link into safari and it is valid, just won’t show up…
{
var complex = “http://briggs:servoy@111.222.333.444:8080/Files/Logs/Joann%20Thomas/4/sappsusan/2008/10/p1?width=240&style=info+center&background-color=lightyellow
var simple = ‘http://www.servoy.com’;
elements.fld_tsurlview.URL = webname;
//application.showURL(simple); won’t work…
}

I have tried everything I can think of… If any of you have an idea, I would love to hear it.

oops…
I forgot to say the field as html area will display only the simple not the complex url, likewise with the htmlpane bean…

thanks, Charles

you write:

I have displayed a simple url with a field set to html area

Is that for showing the url?
If so it won’t work.
When you do application.output(simple) you will see why in the console.

application.output(simple) shows
http://www.servoy.com
in the debug console…

sorry, it’s clear as mud…
