Open URL script step works in Firefox but not I.E.?

Its kind of an off problem but it works in Firefox and not I.E.

I have the script step:
Open URL [No dialog:$$url]
I checked in the View Data window of the debugger and the url value is correct.
It opens the url correctly in Firefox but not in I.E.
In I.E. it does something weird.
It adds an http://%22http://99.170.XX.XXX/myphp.php?addr=serialized address list.
I can't figure out where the "http://%22" is coming from.
In I.E. security I have unchecked https for ssl.
I also added my IP address to the trusted sites.  Does I.E. add the http:// already?

I don't think the issue is that the url is too long.  I have a short address list.  It seems to be qualifying he url I give it with http:// and I think the %22 is the colon.
Thaks,

Janis L. Rough

yes explorer does automatically add http://  So you should test to see
which browser you are using and then change your variable as
necessary.

In FM how do you test for the browser? I have a script step:
set field [global::url,"http://my.host.IP?"& "addr=serializedlist"

So I thought of:
if (get(systemplatform =-2))
set field [globals::myglobalurl,"my.host.IP?"& "addr=serializedlist"
else
set field [global::url,"http://my.host.IP?"& "addr=serializedlist"
end if
set variable[$$url;globals::myglobalurl]
which is better than nothing

This isn't optimial because you could have firefox on a Windows platform.
Also I have a separate script that uses the $$url var.
Go to url[no dialog,$$urll]  this only works on the mac not the pc.  In this case do I need to add back in the http://  ?
thanks,
