Hi

I have tried this approach and find that whilst the links work on desktop devices, in Pocket IE the 'anchor' objects in the scene do not act as hyperlinks, and so you cannot link to multimedia outside of the scene.

I can't see a problem with my personal implementation - I've stripped it down to the bone.

The parent HTML page looks like this:
---------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Anchor node example</title>
</head>
<BODY>
<table border="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<object ID="Scene" TYPE="application/x-oleobject"
CLASSID="CLSID:86A88967-7A20-11D2-8EDA-00600818EDB1" WIDTH="240" HEIGHT="240">
<param name="Scene" value="anchor.wrl">
</object>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------------

The world file (anchor.wrl) looks like this...
---------------------------------------
#VRML V2.0 utf8
# anchor node
Anchor {
url "link.html"
children Transform {
translation 0 0 0
children Shape {
geometry Sphere {
radius 2
}
appearance Appearance {
material Material
{
ambientIntensity .4
diffuseColor .902 0 0
shininess 1
}
}
}
}
}
---------------------------------------


And the tag links to an HTML file (link.html) stored in the same directory. I've also tried using absolute file paths which also fails.

Can anyone advise why this doesn't work? Do we have to catch the 'onAnchor' event ourselves and use javascript or similar to open the URL?

Any advice gratefully received
David
