# openURL()

Description:

The `openURL` method opens a specified link in the Web Browser for S60 in the stand-alone mode. The widget remains open but is sent to the background.

Syntax:

    [void] window.widget.openURL(String url)

or

    [void] widget.openURL(String url)

Arguments:

- `url`:

  A compact string specifying a link to a resource to be opened. The URL string format is compliant with the RFC-1738 specification and must be encoded if it contains non-ASCII characters.
