Making a link clickable

Here's a complicated problem.
I work for an educational institution, and after a user enters their credentials there may or may not be a link to display. Look below for what currently displays:
P01111111

You see the URL for fafsa? I want that to be a clickable link. The following code involves HTML, ASP, and SQL. There is a loop involved. Basically, you'll see that I copied and pasted what is currently there and got rid of fields which I don't think pertain to the URL.
This might take someone who is generous or has a lot of time on their hands. Help is appreciated.

First, this is an Oracle forum, not an ASP forum.
Second, please format your code... it's near impossible to read.
Third, I truly hope those are not the real user id and password and you've changed them.
Fourth, you may want:
<tr><&#37; for each x in rs.Fields &#37;> <td><a href=&quot;&lt;&#37; Response.Write(x.value) &#37;&gt;&quot;></td> <&#37; next rs.MoveNext &#37;> </tr>
instead.

  • Making http links clickable, when pulling in content from an external feed.

    Hi,
    I'm pulling in external content from an RSS feed and binding it to Flex controls (TextArea, DataGrid, etc.).  When the content contains a http link, I'd like for that link to be clickable.  What is the best way to do this?  I would think this would be the default behavior, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
    Thx,
    Ian

    Hi,
    The TextArea and DataGrid just use default  TextField instances which are plain text.
    You would  need to set htmlText on the text area and create a custom item renderer  for the data grid that accepts html text, then parse your text and  create anchors.
    Don't really see an easy way out of the  box.

  • Making links clickable

    Hello,
    I am building a browser for a mobile device.
    And at the present moment, I am having the proper page content delivered on the device, but I am trying to make the links clickable - that is, I am trying to make them responsive to clicks. Does anyone have any ideas in this area? what I need to do, or what packages I can use? I will greatly appreciate all your comments.
    Cheers :)
    cleoppatra

    i have an idea, it might sound a little bit stupid, at least for me.
    one way would be to get all links on the page, send them to another canvas which can be started throu a menu and shows all the links in a list.
    another idea would be to set numbers after the link and the user just needs to tippe in the number of the link. something like:
    "asdf asdf asdf asdf java.sun.com(1), asdf�ajsd�kf asdkfakdjfkd�
    asdf�ak asdfka�dlkfj adjfas�d www.google.com(2) adf...."
    i dont see a way to make the clickable, there may be a way but i don't know it.

  • ICE links, clickable and editable

    Hi All,
    I want to make my links clickable and editable. Much like you see when you are using ICE and you hover over menu items. You have the option to edit the name of the menu item and also click on the link to navigate to a different page. When hovering over the menu item a small arrow will appear allowing you to click.
    I have nested accordions in my site. When they appear in ICE they need to be clicked to drop down and reveal the content which I have made editable for my client. I would also like the client to be able to edit the links names, however when making this editable it disables the click function and as a result disables the accordion.
    Does any one know the code eg: <div ice:editable="html"> to make a link, editable and clickable?
    Cheers
    David

    Not an expert at the ICE technique just yet, but I've tried a few things that might help.
    Wraping your a tags with:
    <div ice:editable="html" ice:options="bold,italic,|,link"><a href="/contact">This is a link</a></div>
    this will allow you to follow the link or change the text/link
    if you put the ice attributes on the a tag, which i think is how they want you to do it, you will only be able to follow the link and change the text. not the href.
    so just wrap your accordions with the div above.

  • Making a link hover background

    I have a side navigation with six links. To each link I assinged a different class so it could have a separate background. (I used background images instead of making the links themselves into images, thus making the site easier to read for the visually impared.) Now I want to make a different background for each link upon mouse hover. What do I attach to the CSS code to do this? I know I need a compound rule, I just can't figure out what to specify to it. I'll give the line of code for one link if that helps:
    .container .body .sidebar1 .nav li .videogallerylink

    Torkuda1234 wrote:
    "Or do you want every single individual link to have its own unique background on hover?"
    Yes, that!
    So use the technique shown in Nancy's link by applying a unique class to each link and applying the CSS
    from the CSS
    .nav li a.link1:link, .nav li alink1:visited {
        background-image: url(../images/photo%20link.jpg);
    .nav li a.link1:hover, .nav li a.link1:active {
        background-image: url(../images/IMAGE-ON-HOVER.jpg);
    .nav li a.link2:link, .nav li alink2:visited {
        background-image: url(../images/photo%20link.jpg);
    .nav li a.link2:hover, .nav li a.link2:active {
        background-image: url(../images/SECOND-IMAGE-ON-HOVER.jpg);
    from the HTML
    <ul class="nav">
            <li><a href="#" class="link1">Photo Gallery</a></li>
            <li><a href="#" class="link2">Another link</a></li>

  • Making background image clickable link

    I have several div tags with background images in them.  I want to make the background images clickable links.  what is the easiest way to do this?

    Yes, the background image can be made clickable.
    Here is the link to get the info to one method: http://ran.ge/2009/11/11/css-trick-turning-a-background-image-into-a-clickable-link/
    Basically it is written like this:
    ==CSS==
    #bkgrdimage {
        background-image:url ('image.png');
        display:block;
        height:??px;       (image height)
        width:??px;        (image width)
        text-indent:-9999px;  
    ==HTML==
    <a href="http://????" title="Title of Link" id="bkgrdimage">Basic Text For this Link</a>
    The text indent places the "basic text for this link" outside the browser screen.

  • How can I make links clickable on all PDF viewers/readers?

    I have an InDesign document that's been built to be 'interactive' when printed as a PDF: along the top of each page are links that allow you to skip ahead in the document to specific pages. The links are created using boxes over the relevant text that are set up in an alternate layer of the Indesign document. The links just take the reader to a specific page of the PDF - not to an element on a page. There are minimal images - one on the cover and a logo on every page. It's mainly text.
    The links open in the PDF when viewed in Acrobat, and also on on Mac Book (it looks great!), but they don't open on iPads or other devices (and it looks like a complete dud when viewed this way). Are there some settings I can change/use to make my document 'clickable' from all readers?
    I'm very far ahead with this project and need to publish it urgently. I wasn't aware of this issue previously. Any suggestions/solutions gratefully received. Just to clarify - the links are mostly internal. I just need people to be able to jump around within the document.

    You cant transfer interactivity to a PDF when you print to PDF as you have written.
    PDFs have to be exported so that interactivity will live inside the PDF. Of course you have to set up links in the Hyperlink Panels.
    But not every reader is supporting interactivity. URL are supported from Reader and Apple iBooks. But you can't force the user to use a certain application anyway.

  • Making dynamic links from report fields

    Is there a way to make report fields link to differnt websites? I can't use the 'link' tool in 'editing' option of making the report because the link will not be the same for each record in the database. The field itself is actually the address of the website I want to be able to link to. So essentially, what I want to do is something like: ..but this does not work. Does anyone know if this is possible??
    Thanks!

    You can use SQL report to do this:
    Suppose the column which contains the web addressed is called url_column, your SQL
    will be something like
    select htf.anchor(url_column, name) from the_table
    Then in the Column Formatting page,
    set the "Display as" for column url_column as HTML.
    Run the report and the values form that column will be a url which links to other web sites

  • I need help making a layer clickable

    I am trying to make the layer "click to call" clickable but cant do it.   Please help.   Thanks!

      You can only isolate it using the slice tool in CS6. It’s not possible in Elements however you could save the entire design as a jpeg or png file and use it as a clickable link. See this earlier thread of mine for details:

  • Making disabled links appear like textview

    Hi there,
    I have to display a combination of links and textviews in the same column within a table.  Because I cannot intermix cell editor types in the same column, I have to disable the links in order to achieve this.  The issue then is, my disabled links are greyed out, when in fact, I want them to be a solid black (appearing like textviews)  Does anyone have any hints as how I can do this?
    Thanks,
    MP

    If you don't mind that the link remains clickable, you might set its "type" property value to WDLinkType.RESULT. I'm not sure if a disabled link of this type is also greyed out, you might check this out.

  • Making jars double-clickable please help

    i'm having trouble making a jar file double-clickable.... and i'm not entirely sure that i'm making the jar file correctly in the first place.
    the program is called clock.java, and i can compile and run it from netbeans. the three classes, ClockView, Timestamp, and clock, are in a directory together, and clock has the main.
    in order to make it double-clickable, i'm supposed to have a manifest file called Manifest.mf with a line of code:
    Main-Class: clock
    which i put in a text file in the same directory as clock, ClockView, and Timestamp. i name it "Manifest.mf".
    from command prompt, in the same directory, i've tried typing the jar command several different ways.
    jar cvf Manifest.mf clock.jar *.class
    -this one makes a Manifest.mf file, but no jar. Manifest.mf is full of computer lang stuff.
    jar cvf clock.jar *.class
    -this makes a clock.jar, but obviously no manifest file.
    these are my questions:
    do i need to put in the manifest file when i make the jar? was my command line correct for this if so? is my manifest file correct if so?
    if i am supposed to add it later, how do i?
    is there some reason i wouldn't be able to make jar files from this directory?
    when it does make the jar file, if i double-click it, i get:
    Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\Documents and Settings\paul\Desktop\java\clock\src\clock\clock.jar
    i'm kind of new at this, and i've been trying to figure this out for a while. thanks for the help.

    The same problem happened to me .. First every time a tried to run the jar file from the command prompt it echoed lots of error. not finding pertaining to manifest file.
    Later i fixed it. And I tell you the easy way how to run the jar file from the command prompt.
    When you build the ur project in NetBeans IDE. During running it tells how to run the jar file from the command prompt. But before running your project you need to right - click to your project and choose the properties and choose run and define you main class(you also click browse to automatically find the main class ).
    And after that u can build. During building your project in the ouput window running you project on the command prompt is told so you can copy it and paste it in a file with .bat extension and double click to run it/

  • Making Email Link Active in Form

    Hi all.
    I have a contact form with an email field. When the submitted
    data comes in the email, I need the email link to be active
    (clickable).
    Another option would be how to to make the users email show
    up as the sender, that way I could just reply to the email.
    Any insight on how to accomplish one or the other or both?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    There are only two ways to process form data -
    1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
    2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
    form's data, b)
    process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
    formulate and
    send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
    redirect the visitor
    to some ending page
    Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
    depends both
    on your visitor having an email client already installed on
    their computer -
    this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
    clients
    installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
    email client
    responding to
    the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
    send the
    visitor to a
    thank you page as well.
    Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
    problems of
    method
    1, but it means that you have to grapple with
    server-scripting somehow (ASP,
    CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
    Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
    like
    http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/,
    or if your server supports PHP,
    you could investigate
    http://www.geekministry.com/formbuilder/,
    a very nice
    product by a frequent poster here.
    You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
    your needs,
    but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
    they provide for
    form
    processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
    carefully.

  • Making text links in Flash 8

    Does anyone no how to add links to a flash page step by step.
    I'm realy not sure how and how to make them link to another page?

    1- Create a button, which could be you text converted to a
    button
    2- Access the Action Script panel in the script assist mode
    (find its button in the top of the Action panel)
    3- choose getURL action from the left menu (find it in Global
    Functions> Broswer/Network> getURL)
    4- In th URL field, write the URL you would like you button
    to go to.
    And to make you text a link, you can do the following:
    1- Write the text you would like to be a link
    2- in the text properties panel, write your URL in the URL
    field

  • Making a Link in Flash Professional 8

    Hey,
    I'm wondering how to make a link in Flash Professional 8, any tutorials around?

    Linking to a web page and linking to another section of the same Flash file involves different code.  I'll show you examples of both wrt using a button for the interactive control.
    In this case the button is assigned an instance name of linkBtn (it's assign in the properties panel).  The code I show is placed on a frame that is the same as the button (different layers for good housekeeping).
    Link to web page:
    linkButton.onRelease = function(){
         getURL("http://www.yoursite.com/page.html");
    Link to section (section starts on a frame having a label... "section1"):
    linkButton.onRelease = function(){
         gotoAndStop("section1");
    OR
    linkButton.onRelease = function(){
         gotoAndPlay("section1");
    The difference between the two for the section link would depend on whether section1 is an animated timeline piece that would play when you get there or a self-contained movieclip that has controls of its own.
