creating a hyperlink out of a FM field

[JeffHumphrey]

I have a filemaker field that contains a URL. I want to display the field on my results.htm and allow the user to click on it and go to the associated URL. I've tried using <a href=, but it adds the URL to www.mydomain.com. Appreciate any help!!

1. your results.htm is displaying data from the appropriate database.

2. your result is with a single record.

3. the field containing the url, the address with which you desire to link, is in the layout which you are accessing in that appropriate database. I will call that field "linkad"

Try this:

<a href="[fmp-field:linkad]">Try This Link</a>

I just did the above in a junk db/format collection I keep for playing with. It worked fine.

Peace

Also if the URL in the field has any special caracters try "[FMP-field: link, RAW]" this does that webcompanion dont encode it into HTML, might be usefull

... or sumetimes you MUST do it in web format like "[FMP-field: link, URL]" for NN if you will have non URL characters in the URL

It seems to me that your URL field contains no protocol part in front of it. In this case <A HREF=http://[FMP-Field:Link,raw]> might be a solution.
