active desktop

I have a question, I have just spent days on trying to fix a problem , but I was trying to fix the wrong problem.

Active destop script by Matt:
<a onClick="exec('sol.vbs'); return false;" href="java script:void(0)">Launch Solitare</a>
I am using Xara's webstyle4 to generate a navbar for me.I have a "url" field and a "target" field to work with.the only way I can get a little bit of result is if Itype in the url field "javascript:exec('sol.vbs') target="_self"But that doesn't work properly, and I don't know how to enter the rest of Matt's line into my URL field.I usually just use a window.open function and then tupejavascript:fullwin('music.htm') for webstyle's nav bar "url" field.Can anyone help me with this please?Thank you so much,Ryan

The URL field is probably equal to HREF=

Can you manually edit the file this webstyle4 creates? If so you can add the onClick statement in yourself.

Also, have you tested this inside IE. Usually a good way to debug any issues.

I can manually edit the .js file, which I used to be able to do because earlier version, the JS was a lot more simple.
This version is over my head.
I also always try it in IE first before seeing if it works in active desktop.

If it's not an easy fix, I do not wish to take up any of your time,
I only used the nav bar program because I thought it would save me the time of writing one, it turns out it's been my biggest headache.
I have also tried to find the answer in Xara's help forum with no avail.

Here's a cpl lines from the .js file:
if(typeof(loc)=="undefined"||loc==""){var loc="";if(document.body&&document.body.innerHTML){var tt=document.body.innerHTML;var ml=tt.match(/["']([^'"]*)menu_.js["']/i);if(ml && ml.length > 1) loc=ml[1];}}

mainMenuItem("menu__b4",".gif",26,93,"javascript:fullwin('music.htm')","_self","tunes",2,2,"menu__plain");

submenuItem("Summer tunes",loc+"file:///C:/Personal/My Playlists/Playlist1.wpl","","menu__plain");

these lines work.

I have spent this evening trying to figure out how to insert your href in there, with no luck I am afraid.

one last thought, is there a way to write this line in question, as a js function?
then i could just have the navbar call the function in the URL field.?

Thanks for your interest.
