Is there a way to make variable that checks the current URL for a webviewer so that it knows to either reload the screen or go to another screen depending on the current url when a button is clicked? ---

Hi there. What do you mean by checking the current URL for a webviewer? Do you mean something like this?

That looks like it will work, but I think I am doing something wrong. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/5/959d54ce9cc9dd033a15fcd5e973e1aa00644dd0.png) It just goes back to the other screen and not changing webpages. Sorry, im still learning the blocks. ---

The algorithm on your image does not work correctly. Try using just one “If do else” block to create all the branches. ---

Sorry for the late response, I was out for the last two weeks. After looking at my code, it looked over complicated. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/4/54e5a30b4f30ef45f331ff1cab903c83d44533ab.png) I tried simplifying it, but it still just navigates to the other screen instead of reloading the webviewer. Any thoughts on this? ---

If you give me a link to your project, then I will correct it. If this project is not for public use, then step-by-step debugging and look at the values ​​that you are comparing. If there is a transition to another screen, then the condition Web\_Viewer2.URL = text in the right block ---

I understood. WebViewer.URL stores the value you specified to it initially. When changing the site address, WebViewer.URL does not change its value! This feature of the current version of Thunkable X. ---

Unfortunately there is no simple solution. There is only using online, Firebase, HTML and Javascript ---
