[SOLVED] Execute URL from HTML Launch Page
I would like to have a typical launch page that would have buttons that, when clicked, would execute external URLs. Is that possible and if so, how do I do that?

When you make a new html...I think theres hyperlink attributes under a button... yeah, way down there in properties, target etc. I think you can call an external page into a portal as well.

1- From the Content area create a new URL file (follow GUI)
2- In your HTML page under Requests and Data sources add (as external request) a new URL file that will refer to file in -1-
3- To your button add a Tasks and Animations where the Requests/Actions will point to your URL file added in -2-
