i.e
Code:

  String url = "http://www.seltar.org/?test=a&test2=b";
  link(url);

goes to the site http://www.seltar.org/?test=a

Seltar, this really is more Microsoft's fault since processing is making use of the DOS command promt to open the URL in your webbrowser when running locally (i.e. from the PDE).

You can verify this yourself:
Code:
Start > Run... > cmd /c start http://www.seltar.org/?test=a&test2=b


There's a simple patch which could be applied to the internal parth of the link() command by replacing all occurances of "&" with "^&" (using the MSDOS escape char)...

In PApplet, line ~2004, replace:

Code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start " + url);

with:

Code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start " + url.replaceAll("&","^&"));


Btw. The link() command should run fine when your applet already is running in a browser...
