Hi, I set a web viewer to an initial URL. For the sake of testing I set it to [https://www.bing.com/](https://www.bing.com/). Then, when the page starts, I set the URL again using the Blocks to [https://www.google.com/](https://www.google.com/). The problem is that the web viewer still shows the initial URL of [https://www.bing.com/](https://www.bing.com/). I set one of the labels to the URL and I can indeed see that that the web viewer’s URL has changed to [https://www.google.com/](https://www.google.com/). I tried even to call the webviewer’s reload. However, it still only shows me Bing site and not Google site. ---

Can you share a link to your project? How are you testing the project? In a browser? On a mobile device using Thunkable Live? Which device? ---

Hi 20 days later i am still stuck on this issue. Here is a link: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/64d65d9bc78e85912a7b9da4/1bc52c8c-6537-4a55-b149-4332822dc54c/designer) Could you please help me? I am trying to change dynamically the web viewer URL when the screen opens from [https://www.bing.com/](https://www.bing.com/) to [https://www.google.com/](https://www.google.com/). (just as a test). However, it does not change. ---

I think there was something corrupt in the blocks you had. I replaced them with basically the same thing and it now switches to Google in Thunkable Live (it fails in a browser preview).

Hi @tatiang , thank you for looking at this. I still don’t know what’s the matter, but I copied your project and when I test it I get " **[www.google.com](http://www.google.com)** refused to connect." While un my original project I still don’t manage to get it working for some reason. ---

@tatiang @royrosemarin I’m sorry I did not see this earlier. For the issue where you are getting [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) refusing to connect. That is a CORS (_cross-origin resource sharing_) issue. Basically, Google and many other websites will stop components like a webviewer from viewing their sites across multiple servers. > **[What is the CORS policy affecting my web app? | Thunkable Help Center](https://intercom.help/thunkable/en/articles/4515338-what-is-the-cors-policy-affecting-my-web-app)** > > If you are having difficulties using a Web API in your web app, this article explains a possible cause: the CORS issue ---

OK, thank you @matt_conroy and @tatiang . I’ve now managed to get the same CORS response in my original project. This is very strange, becuase I only created this project as a toy example to show how my webviewer URL does not change in my other private project. Then, it did not change for me in the toy example, until you just recreated the blocks and then it worked. Anyway, at least it is working now, so thank you both! ---
