Changes display to a new HTML or other Web Page.   If ^target is specified, opens in a new Web Browser pop-up window.  If named target is already open, then  new URL is opened in existing target window.   Will open an IE browser regardless of default browser on PC (always opens Internet Explorer). IE 6.0, 7.0, or later must be installed on client PC. This is supported by Browser based clients (VIEW) and the local ViewDAQ. In ViewDAQ, this will open VIEW in a web browser. Project and Node must be specified if new target window named. 

The delimiter is the carrot ^  typed by pressing Shift 6.

Arguments for GOTO URL

URL       Also known as a web address. Can be a URL, IP Address, name in Hosts file or Network  name. Can include options associated with the URL including ASP options and WebAccess options.
 example: GOTO URL=http://67.94.27.201

Target    Name defines a Target window name with feature options specified.  Can be any name.  Optional, if no name specified, will open a new window popup. If a window with same name is already open, loads URL document into the named window. Using a target window name allows use of CLOSEURL command.  The CLOSEURL command  requires a target window name. No target name is equivalent to _blank and will open new window that cannot be closed using CLOSEURL command. The default window names used by HTML code are not supported (_blank, _parent, _search, _self, _top, _media). NO BLANK SPACES.
Syntax: 
target=name
example: GOTO URL=http://67.94.27.201^target=pop

replace   Options are (yes=1 no=0). Replace History Entry. When the URL is loaded into same window, this BOOLEAN parameter specifies whether the URL creates a new entry or replaces current entry in the windows history list. Optional. NO BLANK SPACES. Boolean values accepted ( 0 1 yes no ).
Syntax: 
replace=Boolean
example: GOTO URL=http://67.94.27.201^target=pop^replace=1

style       Options 0,1,2. Window Title Bar options.  Similar to Display Groups in ViewDAQ.
 (0 = Overlapped Window with Title,  1= Popup with Title, 2 =Popup without Title) . The Popup windows do not have Minimize, Maximize or Close controls preventing user from easily closing, the window. NO BLANK SPACES. Style is a number between 0 and 2.
Syntax: 
style=number
example: GOTO URL=http://64.55.156.4^target=pop^style=2

settings for GOTO URL

These settings used to control window size and position.  They are similar to replace and style above. Each setting option is delimited with the carrot ^ (typed shift 6).  NO BLANK SPACES.

Syntax: 
fullscreen=Boolean
example: GOTO URL=http://64.55.156.4^target=pop^fullscreen=yes
