[This is on WinXP SP2, Python 2.5, wxPython 2.8.10.]
I'm trying to make a somewhat fancier About dialog using HTMLWindow,
and would like to embed a hyperlink in it (to ultimately open the
default browser and display that page). For now, what I have is just
something like this HTML in the window (using Google as an example
page):
If I run the dialog (with Boa) and then click on that hyperlink, the
computer has a BSOD, every time. I thought it should at least try to
open it within the HTML window?
Adding a link to google in demo/About.py is working for me with 2.8.11.0, are you doing anything with the html widget like catching and handling events yourself? Have to go through any web proxies that may be interfering with things? Does it have the same problem when run outside of Boa?

No.

No.

Haven't tried that exactly yet, but see two paragraphs down...
I don't know if it matters whether I use an actual AboutBox or not--I
was having the problem using a wxDialog with a wxHTMLWindow inside of
it, as I was trying to create a new about box. (Does AboutBox just
use an HTMLWindow in it?).
But in any case, I just tried from the Demo, chose wxHTMLWindow and
clicked "Load URL", then in the textEntryDialog that popped up I wrote
"http://www.google.com" (without the quotes) and immediately upon
clicking OK I got the BSOD.
It seems like this didn't used to happen on my system with HTMLWindow,
though I'm not sure I'm recalling correctly. (The only other time I
ever get BSOD here is just once, due to some interaction with a
wireless network, but I am trying this out from home).
