Summary

Function: llLoadURL( key avatar, string message, string url );

Shows dialog to avatar offering to load web page at url with message.
If user clicks yes, launches the page in their web browser, starting the browser if required.

• key avatar – avatar UUID that is in the same region
• string message – message to be displayed in the dialog box
• string url

The url is truncated to 255 characters and message is truncated to 254 characters.
The protocol for the url must be specified, currently only "https://" and "http://" are supported.
The URL should be RFC-1738 compliant with proper escapes.

Caveats

  • This function causes the script to sleep for 0.1 seconds.
  • This function should not be called from group deeded objects[1], it will silently fail.
  • This function silently fails for an avatar that has muted itself.[2]
