Hi,
one of my webages displays the entries in my database and turns them into hyperlinks. This works fine in explorer, but not in firefox. In firefox, the data appears as expected but the hyperlinks do not function.
Any help would be appreciated:

response.write("<a href='" & rs.fields("Class") & "/" & rs.fields("Name") & "/'><td width='15%'>" & rs.fields("CandidateNo") & "</td><td width='20%'>" & rs.fields("Name") & "</td><td width='15%'>" & rs.fields("Course") & "</td><td width='15%'>" & rs.fields("UnitNo") & "</td><td width width='15%'>" & rs.fields("Class") & "</td><td width='20%'>" & rs.fields("CandidateName") & "</td></a>")

(Ie, the link path is formed from the db entry for the "Student'sClass/Student'sName", the link text dislayed is all the db fields in the record).
(also, Im not an expert!)

many thanks

I would put the url in the tr tag if your trying to make the entire row clickable. try doing something like this. just swapping yahoo for your info.

...... your <td> tags ......

.... dont forget the </tr>.....
