Hi All,

I have developed a Browser view plugin.
Following are its details:
->On running the code, a browser opens in a new view called
BrowserView. ->This browser is able to navigate through the internet
pages using the back, forward, go, refresh, stop buttons.
->If we type a url in the address bar and hit enter , the browser
opens
the required page.

However I am facing a problem when I try to load any URL by clicking
on a hyperlink on any internet page. The browser does nothing when I
click any Url.
Following are my observations when I tried debugging the program:
-> There are two methods: changing and changed inplemented by the
Location Listener. Whenever any URL is loaded, these 2 methods are
called.

-> But when I click on any hyperlink of a page, the method changed of
Location Listener is not getting called. This is because the
selected
url is not getting opened.

I am not able to understand that when any link is clicked in a Browser
view, which event gets called and how is the selected url opened. I
tried searching on net for the answer but did not get any pointers.

If anyone has developed a similar plugin, can I get some pointers to
the probable reason for why this is happening?


Thanks,
