Display PDF in Browser Widget Error?

[panagiotis merakos]

@Roger

Nice!

This code works with filenames with spaces, too:

on mouseUp

local tFile

answer file "Please choose the file you would like to display" with type "PDF
document|pdf|PDF"

if it is not empty then

put it into tFile

replace space with "%20" in tFile

set the url of widget 1 to tFile

end if

end mouseUp
