HTML table Export

[RonKay]

I have a simple table export that works just great if I could prevent FMP from changing characters...

The table is generated via. FMP (4.03/Mac OS 8.6) and exported using FMP export table html function. My script can generate dozens of tables and within each table we can have 1 to 20 entries or more. The mailto: field is calculated and linked to the record number so each mailto:... is unique. This field is intended to be an active and unique e-mail link. All HTML code needed is stored in the field definition of the file structure.

However, when the file is generated and exported (Export HTML Table), FMP makes changes to the basic format and character set. That is, it automatically changes the < and >; into the ASCII equivalents.

As a result of the FMP changes, the link is not active when opened with a browser. Because of the potential number of tables and entries, it simply does not work to edit each individually. My best solution is to prevent FMP from changing the characters/text as they have been defined.

How do I prevent FMP from changing characters?
