Re: WebView object - Event on Link click

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry i did not think at the time but using MouseUp is not so good, because
it will trigger when clicked anywhere on the page, there is no way to tell
if you are still hovered over the link or not.

So I guess Benoits advice would be the best. using the Start() event to
intercept the page load.


I guess my addition to the wiki is not correct then

So i know what to add can you please explain...
When exactly does Url fire?
When exactly does Start Fire?

Thanks
