Hello:
I would like to insert an active hyperlink into one of the definitions in /language_file_inc.asp.
Such as:
Const strTxtViewSentNewsletters = "Use our Forum for Addtional Help"
being changed to:
Const strTxtViewSentNewsletters = "Use our Forum at www.MyWebSite.com/forum"
Can this be done? What is the correct code that wraps the URL ? An example would be great, please.
Thanks,
Wayne G.

I've not tested this but the following should work:- Const strTxtViewSentNewsletters = "Use our Forum at <a href=""www.MyWebSite.com/forum"">www.MyWebSite.com/forum</a>" You need to use two double quotes within the string to escape the character as you can see above, otherwise it will think you are ending the string and give an error. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hi Bruce:
Thank you for your assistance. The code will insert and render properly. However, the link is being called as a relative link rather than the full URL that I did enter. It is automatically appending http://www.mywebsite.com/NewsPad/ - www.mywebsite.com/NewsPad/ . The link ends up calling http://www.mywebsite.com/NewsPad/www.mywebsite.com/Forum/ - www.mywebsite.com/NewsPad/www.mywebsite.com/Forum/ . Is there a way to break out of the relative link call?
Thanks,
Wayne G.
