Force Hyperlink button to open in IE only

HI All,

I have a created Hyperlink button in a dashboard and the expectation is that when ever some one clicks on that button the link should always open in IE only irrespective in which(Chrome / Mozilla / Firefox) dashboard in opened.

Any idea how it can be done, Please advise.

Thanks,

Vishnu.

Qlikview cannot force that. You need to make IE the default browser on the machine.

Hi Gysbert,

Thanks for your response, Is there any other alternate we can think in Qlik itself.

Try a Launch action instead of an Open URL action

Hi Gysbert,


I tried using Launch option as well but its not working is there any other way we can handle this by writing any Script kind of thing.

Launch should work since you can specify which application you want to run. But if it doesn't work then no you cannot solve this with a script kind of thing.

Ah, you're using the ajax client. Well, then you can't use Launch.
