There are many ways to invoke an Internet Explorer on a button click in Siebel. I will post two ways of doing it in two different posts.
Requirement: When a custom button is clicked it should invoke Internet Explorer and navigate to a given URL.
Update: I am removing remainder of this post as the script is not working on Siebel High Interactivity Client. I am working on providing a better script. I will update when I finish working on it. Thanks.

sridhar will it open on client side or server side? in the web client sort of deployment

It will open on the client side. Works for both web client and dedicated client.

Sridhar,
Not sure, I need to check but a little doubt…
a) your code is written on server side so that means it will work on server?
b) The same code is supported on browser scripting where you have to replace “COMCreateObject” with ActiveXObject as I guess former is not supported
Thanks

Hi Dos,
I guess you are right. This doesnt seem to be working for me in Siebel 8 thin client. This was working on Dedicated client and something wonky happened.
I am looking into this and working on the correction of this post.
Thanks for noticing this.
Regards,
Sridhar

click on the email should open a default email client. This is normal OS feature not necessarily siebel.
to open IE on clicking on a field use symbolic URL.
