Reposting your question as a new thread is obnoxious, especially when
someone
already answered it. You should instead reply to that thread and tell us
why
their solution didn’t work.

button(“facebook”){#what goes here#(“http://www.facebook.com/”)}

That really changes very little. You may want to try with a commandline
Ruby
first, to make sure it’s not a Shoes issue, but it shouldn’t make a
difference.

What changes a lot is which browser you’re using, what you’ve tried, why
it
didn’t work, and why Google didn’t help you. Here’s what I found by
searching
for “ruby open url in browser”:

The very, very first result gives a Stack Overflow discussion about this
very
issue. The first two posts tell you two different, very easy ways to do
exactly what you’re asking.

please please help this is driving me mad

Just the facts, please – telling us how important this is for you is
just
more noise we have to read through to figure out what it is you’re
asking and
how best to help you.

and add some punctuation while you’re at it i for one hate reading tons
of
words put together like this without any sentence breaks or
capitalization
even a period or two would help
