Ideally, I would like to do this with 1 prim.  Like maybe a tapered flat prim so it has a frame border, but if I have to use 1-5 prims that is okay too.

I also want a simple menu with like three buttons and no submenus.  The three buttons would direct me to three different websites.  example: button 1 = http://youtube.com, button 2 = http://google.com, and button 3 = http://yahoo.com

I tried making something like this but the problem is that I can't interact with any of the websites, because once I click on the webpage, it makes the menu pop open again.

I have been googling and reading like crazy for the last two days, but I'm not having any luck.  Some help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

PS - I want to do this without using chat commands like "/2 http://youtube.com".  I tried linking two prims, each with the proper media texture.  One prim had the media changer script and the other one didn't.  I was hoping I could use one prim as the menu selecter and the other prim to interact with the website but it didn't work.  I tried making each prim the root prim, but same results.  I'm really stumped.  There has to be a way to do this.

I hope I won't have to do this, but maybe I need to do a (2) prim w/ prim to prim communication thing?  Like clicking on one prim will give me the menu to select what website I want and then it will send the URL information to the second prim which will let me interact with it?  Hell if I know.  I don't want to give up though.

Ron, that's not a bad idea.  It's unnecessary, but it would make the TV more pimp.  But whether I use it or not, doesn't really matter; cuz I really need the llDetectedTouchUV function for some of my other projects.  So thank YOU for mentioning that.  I had no idea what the name of that function was.  Thanks man!  Love you both!

A tapered flat prim leaves a border. In that border you could put a texture with 3 ´buttons´.

Than use
 to determine which `button`was clicked.

This is the best solution because you can have many controls on a single face, but it can require a bit of skill in texturing.  One step simpler is using http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlDetectedTouchFace.  For your three sites you could go to a different site depending on whether they click the left, bottom or right 'frame'
