\"WebViewerControl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After dropping the control on to your user interface, select the control and set the Properties. In particular, set a default or initial web URL to display on the screen. Here, I have set the default URL to http:\/\/appinventor.pevest.com. Be sure to include the leading http:\/\/<\/p>\n
