Changing the Link of a Ticker Symbol from MSN Money to Yahoo Finances

This is an unsupported solution as it requires modifications to server files! Open the following directory on your CRM server: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\_forms\controls (may vary depending on your installation) Open the following file: INPUT.text.ticker.htc Search the following function:

function Launch()
{
if(value.length > 0)
{
Parse();

window.open("http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=8506&Symbol=" +
encodeURIComponent(value), "", "height=" + (screen.availHeight * .75) +
",width=" + (screen.availWidth * .75) +
,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,status=1,toolbar=1,menubar=1,location=1");
}
}
Replace it with the following:
function Launch()
{
if(value.length > 0)
{
Parse();

//window.open("http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=8506&Symbol=" +
encodeURIComponent(value), "", "height=" + (screen.availHeight * .75) +
",width=" + (screen.availWidth * .75) +
,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,status=1,toolbar=1,menubar=1,location=1");
window.open("http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=" +
encodeURIComponent(value), "", "height=" + (screen.availHeight * .75) +
",width=" + (screen.availWidth * .75) +
",scrollbars=1,resizable=1,status=1,toolbar=1,menubar=1,location=1");
}
}
Save the file. On your client machine: Open Internet Explorer and remove all temporary internet files, so that the new htc source is retrieved. Navigate to any ticker symbol, enter a valid value and double click it.
