Link in Column Header to open new page

Question

I have a tabular form based on a table and I want one of the column headers to be a link to open up a new page. How can I do this?

Answer 1

The simplest thing would be to put some text outside the href tag in your column heading first and then create the link next to it:
Text 1 < a href="your_url" target="_blank">Text 2< /a >
Ensure you have ticked the "Sort" box next to the column in the report attributes for that column, and then you should find that if a user clicks on Text 2 they get the link opening in a new window, but if they click on Text 1 it will sort the column. If you wanted to be extra fancy, you could make Text 1 a small image file (i.e. an icon) so that clicking on the icon would sort the column but clicking on the text link would open the new window. Try out some combinations and see what you think.
BEWARE: The "Text 1" non-hyperlink must come first - if you try reversing the heading like this:
< a href="your_url" target="_blank">Text 2< /a > Text 1
...it won't work! And as previous posters have said, remove the spaces between the < and > signs.
