I want it will open in my default browser like as firefox.

can u help me how to solve this problem?

is it something like -

@ui->textBrowser->openExternalLinks(default);@

but this code does not work.

Please tell us how it doesn't work: it gives you a compile error or how exactly isn't working, is default of type bool, because that function takes a bool parameter, if it is a bool make sure it's true when you call the function, or use: ui->textBrowser->setOpenExternalLinks(true); see the documentation "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtextbrowser.html#openExternalLinks-prop

Check this, and see if it works:
@#include <QApplication>
#include <QTextBrowser>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QTextBrowser tb;

tb.setOpenExternalLinks(true);
tb.setText("Link to <a >google.com</a> ... more text");

tb.show();
return a.exec(&#41;;

}@

you need to set the text with QTextBrowser::setHtml() in order to open links.
Also links must be specified in a valid HTML syntax.

raven-wrox, for me the setText works, but the a href should be properly formatted and the forum software seems to mess-up the format of the a href.
-second try:- not working, see example "here":http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_href.asp
