- Generates a dialog box with button labels from the notecard
- User selects URL from a dialog button to open the in-world browser and navigate to the web site
NOTE: You cannot create or edit a notecard with a script in LSL, so you must so that operation manually.
You may either create a notecard and then drop it in your HUD's contents, or edit an existing card by selecting the HUD in Edit and then Opening a card that is already in contents.
Sample Notecard
# Sample notecard for the "Bookmark URLs" HUD # Any blank line or a line starting with "#" is ignored. You cannot write to a notecard with a script in SL, so the only # way to store bookmarks is to add them to this card manually. Yes, it's annoying, but it's not difficult, especially # if you cut and paste the URL. # Each line on this card starts with a tag for a bookmark, followed by a "|" symbol, and then by the URL itself. # Only about 12 characters of the tag will fit on a dialog button. Extra characters will not be displayed. # A tag longer than 24 characters will generate an error message. # Here are some sample bookmarks Second Life | http://secondlife.com SL Toolbox | http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Basic_Resource_Toolbox G Scholar | http://scholar.google.com/ Babelfish | http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ SLLVR wiki | http://sites.google.com/site/sllvrwiki/index AVL Catalog | http://sixsunflowers.wiki.zoho.com/ NY Times | http://www.nytimes.com/ Wikipedia | http://wikipedia.org/ SLED resources | http://simteach.com/sled/db/ SimTeach | http://www.simteach.com/wiki/index.php?title=Second_Life_Education_Wiki Natalia | http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2006/11/build.html Windlight | http://secondsoigne.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/optimising-windlight-for-avatars-20/?
