MS Access Hyperlinks on FP

[Bruce]

Hello,

I've read this group and found very valuable help as to how to inlcude
an MS Access hyperlink in FP. My question is this: Can I have the
displayed text be something other than the URL? That is, how would I
display hyperlinked text that says, for example, "Click here for the
picture" and have that link to a specific URL that links to the
picture in question.

Thank you for your help. If you can e-mail me the responses in
addition to posting, I would very much appreciate it.

Are you coding your ASP manually or using the FP database component?

If using the FP database component, I can't help you, but if coding by hand, then structure link as
follows:

<a href="<%=recordset("hyperlinkfieldname")%>">Click here for the picture</a>

Thanks for the response. I am using FrontPage 2000 (and Access 2000).
Unfortunately (for me) I am using FP's DRW.

Best,

Bruce:

You can set the value of the field to be a hyperlink with text; like this:

<a href="http://www.echoecho.com/javascript.htm">EchoEcho.com - JavaScript
Tutorials</a>

and then on the Results page in Normal View, right click on the field and
select Database Column Properties and select the option that says Column
contains HTML.

The text in the above example "EchoEcho.com - JavaScript Tutorials" would
then be a clickable link.

Kathleen,

Thank you very much for the help, greatly appreciated. One question.
I followed your directions and it worked almost perfectly. The one
issue is that the output is putting an http:// in front of my desired
text. Any idea why and how to resolve that?

Again, thanks.

Best,
