Firefox vs InternetExplorer

[MetalSpongebob]

Hello everybody,i done a little program to manage firefox and internet explorer

Added the search with google and yahoo search engines

The code is clean,and i've seen and correct it but i got an error when go to page(maybe input fails and returns 4102 ...WTF??

Here the code

Try it and give me a response...hope can fix error

to fix: if you close the child window, the whole program closes

You know, users could have these programs installed to locations other than the default. You might try looking it up in the registry.

You could also just ShellExecute the URL and let the system open it with the user's selected default program.

Hi,

You need to use GUICtrlRead() to get the text of what's typed into the input boxes ..

Run ( @ProgramFilesDir & "\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe " & GUICtrlRead($Input1FF))oÝ÷ ÚƦyú+±æ«r®¶­sbb33c¶vöövÆTdcÒgV÷C¶GG¢ò÷wwrævöövÆRæB÷6V&6öÃÖBf×·ÒgV÷C²fײuT7G&Å&VBb33c´çWC$dbfײgV÷C²f׶'FäsÔ6W&6¶6öâ´vöövÆRf׶ÖWFÒgV÷C°
