As a quick start, create a blank object. Then add a new script. In the menu select "ActiveX control...". Scroll down and select "Microsoft Web Browser".

You can use this simple method to navigate to a page:

Control.navigate2 "http://www.mywebsite.com/mywebpage.html"


After you get here, go to the Wincustomize.com DX object gallery and search for browser. Find one you like and tear it apart.

You can find my first attempt here:

Browser central

I'd also recommend downloading _Martin_'s BasicBrowser.

Look in the widget library, there are a LOT of browsers in there.
Download them, open DX, and IMPORT one to see how its built.

Good luck.

Eee I made a few browsers for my desktops.. I think they all included a "Favourites" list - effectively a Drop down box for saved websites. The best version is in my "Fresh" theme available here Not Too Sure Theme
