Quasi Student Secure Web Browser?

[JOHN PATTEN]

Never mind… Figured out where all commands that go with the new browser widget were located (release notes).  I was looking in the dictionary and never saw them until I saw another post on the list.

This works:

on browserDocumentLoadBegin pURL

put the itemDel into tOrgItemDel

set the itemDel to "/"

if item 3 of pURL is not "www.myopenmath.com" then

launch url "https://www.myopenmath.com" in widget "OpenMathBrowser"

answer "Sorry that link is not accessible at this time."

end if

end browserDocumentLoadBegin


If anybody else is looking for those browser widget commands they can be found in the release notes here:

I want to prevent any links within an approved site (i.e. “www.approvedsite.com") that link out to others sites from launching. For example, if the "www.approvedsite.com" has a link out to Youtube.com, I want to detect that it is outside the target site and prevent it from loading in the browser object. If the link is within the approved site, i.e. "www.approvedsite.com/anotherpage.html,” I want to allow that page to load in the browser object.
