Issue Details

I am programming a front panel on G Web Development Software and using the Keyfocus property of a hyperlink, which outputs True value once the hyperlink is pressed. The block diagram looks similar to the following:

The code works when I run in the development environment (press Ctr + R), however it does not output a True value when I click the hyperlink on several browsers. What can be the issue and how is it solved?
